minds Of the unproscssionnl people who saw 1t,
both for the stability of tho dock and for tho

was lying in the dock. This alarm, however,
was uncalled for, as neither the dock nor the

serious matter. rs it will put the big dock prac-
tically ont Of use for six weeks o. more, and may
involve some trouble and expense In making the
earth through which tho wator is seoping per.
fectly stable after tho influx Of water into the
earth from the wallabout Bay Is cut off.
The new dock is one Of tho biggest in tho
world. 1t is go feet long, and has 30 feet Of
water over the stills at high water. Work was
begun upon 1t in May, 1895. and t. was prac-
