An extraordinary piece of engineering is going
on day by day with thousands of people riding
over 1t through Forty-second-st between
Fourth and Seventh aves. From point about
opposite the Manhattan Hotel to Seventh-ave
the Degnon-McLean Contracting Company is
daily blasting out the rock close up under the
surface railroad tracks In that busy thorough
fare. bat skfully is the work being done
that no accidents have resulted, and little at
tention is paid to it. The reason for this piece
of work not attracting more attention is that it
is almost completely covered over. The rail-
way tracks are supported on timbers, and the
workmen day and night keep on with the
blasting. The method of blasting out the rock
without disturbing the tracks overhead is called
taking it out in needles" A hole about twelve
feet square is blasted out after which the tim
bers put in solidly. Then block of the
rock is allowed TO stand and another hole few
feet further along is made by the biasters
Small charges of dynamite are used, and when
the blast is ready the charge Is covered over
securely with mating timbers chained to-
gether.
