room for such magazine and newspaper
announcements as their size will permit.
But it Will be difficult to impose patent
medicine decorations on the walls without
interfering with their own distinctive and
artistic adornments.
Each station has It's own special artistic
touches. There's no room, for instance,
for the work OF the poster man amid the
picturesque arches and varicolored orna-
mental bricks OF the City Hall station.
And it will hardly be proposed to hide the
Spanish caravels at Columbus Circle be-
meath the Strength Company's breakfast
food.
So It is all along the line. Anyway. the
profits assured from the operation OF the
road are already seen to be so large that 1t
is unlikely that there will be any serious
proposal to increase them by the COM
paradvely small sum the advertising agents
would contribute at the expense OF the
saoriiioe Of the artistic beauty Of the Sta
tons.
The seal OF Columbia University, made
part OF the decorations at the station near
est the University is characteristic OF the
beautiful touches you meet In every part OF
the subway, only 1t is different touch at
each point Twenty third street is hand
some station. neither over ornate nor plain
enough to tire the eye.
This Ii in some respects the most In
teresting of all the stations, for in 1t Is seen
the beginnings Of the first underground
street in New York city. This street OF
the underworld runs westward toward
Madison avenue, and 1t has real shop and
real shop windows in II. Plans are already
under discussion to carry 1t on to Madison
avenue. There Is little likelihood OF its
stopping even at this point
From Madison avenue to the junction OF
Fifth avenue and Broadway at Flatiron
corner Is an easy step. When that Is taken
there will be no further fear among the
women folk OF the gales at that terrorsome
storm centre. And thence under Twenty
third street along the line OF the big shops
will be q certain development which will
bring the underground shopping thorough
fare to Sixth avenue and the elevated, and
even probable future underground rail-
road under that highway
In any case. there Is to be still another sub
way under Seventh avenue, just one block
further west. 30 the electric arcade-as II
might be called--may extend indefinitely
And W hat is done in Twenty-third street
will no doubt be initiated at other stations
There Is no end to these possibilities OF
new city underground in New York. When
It is seen how soft light pervades these
passageways, how cool they are in summer
and how warm in winter, they are pretty
sure to be welcome novelties.
Perhaps that is why there is a general
feeling OF qualification among the people
who have been privileged to ride through
the subway in these practice days, before
II is really open, that the new era In city
travel has been begun right; that some

The Giant Power Plant
Which Moves the Trsins.

This we'll equipped, hustling electric
railroad underground, which New YORK Is
to add to its existing convenienoes and try
out for a month or 80 before Thanksgiving
Day, Is to be supplied with power from
the biggest, most modern and most care
fully designed power house in the world
Not half the remarkable things about
this giant power house and the building OF
it have been told. Aside from the details
of its electrical equipment, just as wonder
full in their way, though it Ia hard for any
body but an expert to understand them,
there are many points which anybody can
comprehend and which make it notable
among engineering feats accomplished in
a city where engineers have continually
been trying the almost impossible and
bringing it to pass.
It's size is only one feature OF the power
house, though It is big enough. 1t covers
the two blocks bounded by Fifty-eighth
and Fifty-ninth streets, Eleventh avenue
and the North River, and 1t Is built In SIX
units. When completed it will be able to
provide altogether 100000 horsepower,
or co GOO kilowatts OF electrical energy.
1t ends in pier TOO feet long and TO feet
wido, flied with special coal carrying ma
ohinery so that it can be supplied with
| fuel direct from barges in the river, though
| n span OF the New York Central Railroad
runs down to it on the land side, providing
still another means Of fuel supply. Water
comes direct from the river through two
,nonolithic concrete tunnels.
1t was not an easy job to provide founda-
ton for the weight Of such structure
and the machinery 1t must hold. First OF
all the ground had to be cleared down To
bed rock and the rock had to be smoothed
and levelled At the river end OF the site
this rock foundation was found forty feet
below mean high tide,
At the other end it was often twelve feel
above. At the lower end a retaining wal
of masonry had to be built and the spac'
inside filed with stone and concrete. Eighty
thousand yards Of concrete was used II
preparing this foundation.
Through this the water tunnels hao
10 be carried out into the river. Theil
mouths are supported on piles driven intt
the river bed beneath the coal pier. To
keep the water clean there is system
OF screens, a heavy steel grill outside ant
increasingly finer screens within, 30 ar
ranged that they can be raised by machinery
and cleaned when occasion requires.
With all the size Of the power house, spao
had to be economical, and here anothe
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-10-23

attention has been paid to artistic sensi-
bilities as we'll as to convenience, and that
the biggest municipal enterprise the city
has ever undertaken, and the sure precursor
of many such enterprises to come really
shows the first signs Of the city beautiful
even under ground.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-10-23

hours. For that reason each unit in the
power house has been 80 arranged that IN
these hours it provides one-fourth as much
more electricity as at other times. The
oonverters are designed to carry so per
cent overload for three hours daily
From the power house to the subway at
Broadway and Fifty-eighth street the
current 10 carried in two conduits built
under opposite sides Of the street In the
subway the current is carried In ducts
built in the side walls.
Manholes which are not really holes at
all, but gaps in the wall fitted with rolling
shutters, give easy access to the cables
at short intervals 80 that at whatever point
anything may happen to n cable 1t Is easily
reachable without tearing open the sub
way wall.
The lighting plant Is entirely separate
from tho power plant, 30 that there Is no
danger Of the subway being thrown into
darkness should anything happen to the
power And should anything happen, the
devices for cutting out that section, for
stopping the trains, for preventing acci-
dent in anv form, seem utterly complete.
To the ordinary man who examines the
power plant and all the appurtenancss 1t
seems as II every possible emergency has
been considered and fully provided for
