There was hardly an Irishman or an
Italian at the pick or car, but instead
body of Swedes. They proved, SO the
records say, both diligent and faithful,
nor would there have been the slightest
tremor of fear among them had an omi-
nous cracking sound came.
The method of tunnel construction in
use was a curious and a novel one. 1t
was experimental with in the excavation
of a smaller masonry sewer in Brooklyn
in 1885 and 1886, and it worked to a
charm. This present sewer, though, is
the first, so far as is known, to be built
solely in this way. A small tunnel,
technically "pilot," six feet in diameter.
composed of sheets Of rolled boiler iron,
is built into the central part of the exca-
vation on the axis of the tunnel. The
men work from the inside, excavating
enough to advance a plate or sheet and
bolt it firmly on. The material around
the exterior of the pilot is then excavated
and braces are set radiating from it, sup
porting ribs of iron which form the out

the masonry is built. The bricks are
laid on boards, closely following the
tunnel line.
The masonry is left twenty-four hours
to harden, and then boards, outer shell
and braces are taken away. The rear
plates Of the "pilot" are unbolted and
removed. In the meantime the excava-
ton has been carried forward, prepar-
ing the way for further brickwork
The ''pilot" is usually kept about thirty
feet ahead.
The silt and trap basin at the outlet
is ingeniously contrived. Here all solid
matter is caught on screens and odors
are imprisoned. It consists of boxlike
structure, sixty feet long and eighty
wide, divided into two chambers. In
the first are the screens, and the odors
rise into the arch above. The flow pass
es through twenty 36-inch pipes, over a
trap wall and thence goes out into the
canal through like pipes eight feet be-
low mean high water.

tide in some great cylinder or culvert.
But he is ignorant of the wonders down
there, or else he constructs halo of ro-
nance for the underground. The sew
ers of Paris opened up new world for
the French romanticists.
Beginning with Hugos Jean Vatican
in Lies Miserables," and his wonderful
escape in the "great sewer" strange
tales have been told time and again of
swift, dark boats in this modern under
world. The Partisan sewers stood as
shining mark for the rest Of the world
for many years. Gradually, however,
American ingenuity and invention have
equaled and finally surpassed them.
It is not so very long ago that the city
Of Washington built sewer twenty
feet in diameter. The "great sewer" Of
Paris is but eighteen feet high and seven
teen wide. And now there is being fin
ished in Brooklyn one that will rank as
third of the working sewers of the world.
It is third so far as the size goes-thatis,
being fifteen feet in diameter in places
but easily first when its plan and novel
method of construction are taken into
consideration.
Cities vary greatly in their sewerage
problems. New York, for instance, with
her few important hills and with
broad river on either side, is one of the
easiest municipalities in the world to
drain. Chicago, which proposes to build
the sewer of the globe when the Worlds
fair is out of the way, will not find it
such a weighty task. But Brooklyn
was confronted at the outset with engi-
neering difficulties. The careless para
grapher Of the east describes Long Is
land in many jest and quip as utterly
fat" Yet that is not the case. 1t
abounds in many little hills, dales and
undulations. The city of Brooklyn
spreads out like fan, the famous Brook
lyn navy yard and its surroundings
being the open sticks and the new and
growing part of the town the silken
outer edge.
The sewers of this new section follow
the line of the sticks of the fan and dis
charge into great pipe in the Walla-

bout region of the navy yard, place of
lumber and market wagons. This and
the land directly back of it is known as
the "hooded district" for Immediately
after great rain the outlet sewer gets
choked with the volume of water pour
ing down the hill, the torrent backs,
rises in the manholes, throws off the
covers and deluges the streets, flooding
the Easements and cellars of houses
near by.
To dispose of this surplus storm wa
ter was the problem that the engineers
of the city cudgeled their brains over
for several years. 1t would not answer
to enlarge the Wallabout sewer, for as
the city grew SO would that be out
grown. The engineering riddle was
finally solved in the building of ''re-
lief" or ''great storm" sewer, cutting
across the existing pipes at right angles
and tapping them in their course river
ward.
1t was not intended that the new
''storm sewer" should take off all the
water in the old pipes. The normal
amount of drainage is still to keep on in
its former course. But, by clever ar
rangement of stone coping, whenever
the flow exceeds that the surplus will
drop down many feet into the tunnel of
the new sewer, and having thus acquired
a mighty "head" or impetus will rush
along into the waters of New York bay.
That there might be sufficient head
for the storm water a great depth was
necessary. Therein lies the feat of en-
gineering now on the verge of accom-
plishment. Instead of being long pipe
set deep in trench after the fashion of
most sewers, the "relief sewer" is great
round gallery of solid masonry, its
diameter never less than ten feet and in
creasing as the cross sewers are reached
to twelve, fourteen and fifteen feet Its
distance below the street varies with the
inequalities of the surface.
Where Brooklyn hill first commences,

wanus canal, its depth is 32 feet. Eight
hundred feet farther on this becomes Al 4
1000 feet more and it is increased to 66;
but little distance farther it reaches
its greatest depth, n feet, and at it's be-
ginning, ~ miles from the canal, the
tunnel is 80 feet below the surface.
Its light is hidden under bushel-un-
der many thousand bushels, as it were
OF rock and gravel, sand and clay. While
it's building was going on nine-tenths of
the people of Brooklyn knew nothing of
what was being done underneath their
feet. Many were barely conscious that
anything was being done at all. Seven
shafts were sunk, and this necessitated a
little temporary rearrangement Of car
tracks. These and the barrows of dirt

only evidences of the labors in the city's
depths.
The contracts were let in late June
and early July, 1890, and the working
time was two years. Unlike most city
works, it will be finished within the days
specified, the lower portion being al
ready in use. The work was divided
into two sections, it being found that as
the canal was approached the line passed
through made ground and dangerously
near the surface, within four or five feet
toward the end. The tunneler wants at
least twenty-five feet between him and
the roadway, that he may work with
bedrock overhead.
Section No. /, considerably less than
half mile, was built, therefore, in
open cut. Part of it is circular, exactly
conforming to the tunnel, which it
joins, but owing to the low elevation
above tide level near the outlet it be-
came necessary to change the form there
to a rectangular section, 81 feet wide
and 6 feet high, and again II feet wide
and feet high. These sections were
covered by brick arches between steel
beams, tied by iron rods, the whole
covered with hot asphalt pitch.
The work in the open cut, however,
was child's play compared with that in
