UNDER EAST RIVER.
Gigantic Tunnel to Connect Manhattan
Island and Brooklyn.

Gigantic Tunnel to Connect Manhattan
Island and Brooklyn.
Work is soon to be begun on a gigantic
SO, 900, 900 tunnel which is to connect
the two great boroughs Of Greater New
York-Manhattan and Kings. The tun-
mel is to run from the Brooklyn terminus
of the Long Island railroad to a station
in New York near the North river. BY
a gradual incline it will drop out Of
sight, pursue its way under Brooklyn,
dive under the East river, reach the New
York shore at a point under Maiden lane
and continue on under Broadway and
cross streets until it reaches the western
edge Of the island, whore there will be
temporary terminus. III time how
ever, it will be pushed through under
the North river until it cmerges i'll Jer-
sey City on the opposite shore.
A double track electric railway will
be constructed in the tunnel, and this is
expected to solve the vexed question of
rapid transit between the two great sec
tions of the metropolis. Besides the east
ern terminal there will be station in
Brooklyn and two i'll New York. These
will be reached by elevators.
At the easterly end the tunnel will be
carried under the streets Of Brooklyn in
a horseshoe shaped arch of masonry
1872 feet in height and 25 feet in width.
It will be carried to depth Of 100 feet

Mr.. Miranda expresses his idea in the
figure Of tall, graceful, mature wom-
an with veiled face and classically
draped form. The veil, Mr.. Miranda
explains, signifies that knowledge is
hidden from human eyes by ignorance
and difficulty, a veil which must be
brushed aside before clearness of vision
is attained. The left hand of the figure

reaches the East river, it will be changed
into two parallel iron pipes, each Az
feet in diameter. These pipes will be
carried 80 feet under the bed Of the river
and so feet below the low tide mark.
In it's course across Manhattan Island
the tunnel will be 100 feet below the
