Chief Engineer Describes
Work in Delaware Bay
Two BreakWaters Are Types OF the

Washington, ID. c.. Aug, 29.-General
Gillespie, chief of engineers who has just

Of the work performed In that vicinity
under the supervision OF Colonel Charles

"T'he two breakwaters az the entrance

yesterday, "are types Of the earliest and

construction adopted by the United

was commenced in 1928 and completed In
1898. IL is about one mile long, contains
l,23l,5s7 tons OF stone and cost about 81

very limited area, and as it has been
slowly shoaling during a long period.
while the average draft of sea-going yes

VIOLENT PAINS FROM INDI-
GESTION.

Mrs James A. Monroe living
at 915 Jackson street, Philadel-
phia, Pa, writes: For about six
years / was troubled with indi-
gestlon which at times would
throw me into such violent pains
that l would be compelled to go
to bed until the pain, which fire.
quentiy lasted a day and a night,
ceased. l went to two different
physicians. but it seemed that
neither of them could give me
anything that would instantly
relieve pain. Finally one Of them
told me To diet on crackers and
milk for two or three days, and
starve it out, which ! tried and
found that it gave me more relief
than any of their medicine One
day my sister-in-law had a box
Of Ripans Tabules, which was
the first ! had ever seen, and l
read the label and saw what they
were for. She advised me to
take one. which I did, and found
1t easy and pleasant to take. Be
ing struck by their small cost,
bought a box and was surprised
to find that even one Tabule
could give SO much relief. ! can
now eat almost anything, where
as before was compelled 10 eat
only certain things, and have not
been laid up with the pain since
last July. ,ived down town for
fifteen years and am pretty we'll
known. and during the past six
years have had to break several
engagements with my friends on
account of my old trouble, but
thanks to Ripans Tabules have
not been put to that inconveni-
ence since / began taking them,
neither have l lost a days work,
which was frequently the case
before. recommended them to
some friends. and they, too, have
been relieved.

"Ihe new harbOr Of refuge in Della
ware bay was designed in 1892, with a
view to provide convenient and sheltered
anchorage for vessels OF deep draft. The
harbor Is formed by stone breakwater
about a mile and half long. covering an
area OF 552 acres with minimum low
water depth Of 80 feet and an additional
area Of 237 acres with minimum low
water depth Of "a feet. A row Of 10 piers
above the upper end OF the harbor pro
tects It from ice descending the bay. The
construction OF the breakwater and piers
was authorized by Congress in the ACT Of
June 3, 1896. Construction was com
menced by the contractors, Hughes
Brothers 81 Bangs, Of Syracuse, N. y.
on May 4, 1897, and at the present time
the work is very near completion. IL Is
Of great interest TO engineers on account
Of the character of the structures and the
rapidity with which they have been built
The hreakwater contains about 1,464, 40
tons OF stone. which have been placed in
position in about A working months, or
at an average rate of about $4,000 tons
per month. In the old brealwater the
greatest amount OF stone deposited in one
year was about $4,000 tons. In the new
hreakwater the greatest amount deposit
ed in one years was 450. 400 tons, and g.
10 tons have been deposited in a single

Great Saving m Cost

''I'he works Of the new harbor OF refuge
were estimated by commission of en-
gineers in 1892 to cost s4665,0O0. They
viii be fully completed in November, 1901,
for about 81, 1884. This great saving in
cost is due TO the low price for the work
(S1.1Sg per ton in place.. as well as to the
wise supervision exercised by Colonel
Raymond over the details OF the work
In order to execute the work at the low
est cost and at the rate Of speed required
the contractors provided the most power
full and efficient plant both at the break
water and at the quarry. This plant aud
the methods followed in conducting and
measuring the work will doubtless be
fully described in the final report. The
last brealiwater was begun and executed
by Colonel Raymond, an engineer Of the
highest character and attainments, anC
well-known here through his service as
engineer commissioner several years
ago.
Evening journal., 1901-08-29
Character of the Work

1.-The work consists of a substructure
OF random stone rising 10 the level Of
mean low water, surmounted by a super
structure OF very heavy stones, carefully
laid in position, so as to form a compact
wall 20 foot wide at the top and Al feet
above mean low water. The character
istic feature Of this superstructure Is its
steep exterior slope, which was adopted
after long and careful study OF the storm
developed slopes Of the old breakwater
The success Of this light cross section in
resisting storms suggests the probability
that breakwaters OF this type have here
tofore been built of mnch better dmen-
sions than are necessary when the stones
are properly disposed. If this view is
confirmed by experience in more exposed
localities great saving in the cost of
harbOrs will result.
