HUGE BLOCKS OF STON E
SOLID FOUNDATION FOR UNION
STATION.
Progress of the Work Shown in Piers
and Walls at the New
Terminal.

The union station is now beginning to
show itself above ground, and some idea
of the magnitude of the structure may be
obtained by observant citizens. Huge
blocks of concrete fifty feet in height and
not much less in ENTHUSIASTICALLY solid
masses of stone-shaped to form the walls
OF the building and piers for supporting
floors and roof, are notable objects of the
site of the new terminal. There are not
many men employed on the work, consid-
ering it's size, but it is progressing rapidly
because of the large use of machinery, the
economical arrangement of the concrete
mixing plants and the facility with which
the material is handled.
A number of large bins have been erected
to contain broken stone, sand and the other
components of the concrete used in the
foundations, piers and walls. These piers
and walls are springing up everywhere, in
what seems like disorder at first glance.
Elevated tracks extend across the bins, and
as the cars arrive they are run upon the
trestle and their contents are emptied di-
rectly into the bins. Each bin has gate

RUST"
A Brief Description of the Blight on
the Northwestern Wheat Fields.
N the New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post
Largely because the recent sensational
advance in wheat has been chiefly ascribed
to damage to spring wheat by rust many
people not generally interested In the
wheat market have been anxious to know
what rust actually is. There are in fact
many traders of long experience in wheat
who freely confess that they do not know.
They know, generally, that 1t is a diseased
condition of the plant, and that the growth
is of a fungus nature, but that is about
as far as the majority attempt to go.
Rust is a blight that develops and be-
comes serious in seasons when the weather
is hot and wet The disease rarely spreads
when the weather is reasonably cool and
dry. But it often makes its appearance
suddenly and Unexpectedly, overnight af-
ter a day two of alternate rain and in
tense heat. AT one stage it is called red
rust. partly, if not wholly. because it can
be rubbed off on the hands or clothing
leaving a rudy stain like iron rust
In the spring, rust begins its growth on
plants other than wheat, preferably bar
berry leaves. The spores from this spread
to the wheat fields, where they quickly de-
velop and enter the wheat leaves tissues
About harvest time the second crop of
spores is produced. These are the red
spores and from this the name of red rust
comes Afterward another set of spores
develops. usually in the stubble and some
times along the leaves, and these are seen
In long black rows. giving the name of
black rust. This latter is the worst and
most dangerous form of the disease as IL
is likely to spread rapidly and sap The vi
tally from the plant
Thus far little has been ACCOMPLISHED to
successfully combate the disease As a
rule, hard winter wheat. which ripens
early in the season, seems most able to
withstand the blight. There are many
wheat dealers whose experience has led
them to believe that important damage by
rust is frequently brought about by the
use of poor seed. In other words. if the
seed was not strictly choice. the plant
would be weak and susceptible to attack

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, August 27.-In
the presence of several thousand people
the battle ship Louisiana, greatest war
ship in the American navy. was launched
today at the yards of the Newport News
ShiDbuilding and Dry Dock Company. The
ship went over amid the blowing of whis-

The ship took to the water beautifully,
gliding down the ways into the James
without the slightest suggestion of hesita-
ton. Far out upon the bosom of the river
she foated. until waiting tugboats laid
hold of her and lowed her back to her
berth at one of the shipyard piers, there to
remain for nearly eighteen months before
she is finally completed and ready to go
into commission.

them out of the way when alongside DOCK
or when anchored in a crowded waterway.
The ammunition supply for all OF THESE
guns will be under Electrical control: put
the supply for the eight-inch and twelve
inch guns will be handled by a very mover
arrangement, consisting of travelling plat
form. upon which continuous supply OF
ammunition will be sent directly from the
magazines TO tie handling rooms prepaEaT
tory. to being placed Immediately on the
hoists. This Will provide exceptional facfil-
ties for rapid supply. 1t is estimated that
the twelve-ineh guns will he fred every one
and one-haH minutes. the eight-inch guns
once every fifty seconds, and the seven
inch guns from four to seven times min
ute.
Power Something Terrible.
The power Of these weapons of the main
battery IS something awful. The seven
inch-which IS an unusual gun-fring l63-
pound project;le, at 1,0oo yards, can pene-
trate. with capped shell, Krupp steel II. 4
inches thick: the eiyht-inch rifles. at the
same range can send their capped 230-
Pound projectiles, undeformcd. through 49,
inches of the same hardened metal; and the
twelve-inch gun, with its S50-pound shot,
at the same distance, can send its capped
missile through twenty-three inches Oh
Krupp armor. At 3,0co yards this same
gun can send the same p-ojectile, unde-
formed, through 1915 inches of that hard-
ened steel.
In chase, these ships could bring to bear
upon a foe two finch. four S-inch md two Il
inch guns and, in flight. they could halt a
pursuing foe with the same force. In broad
side they could greei an enemy on either
beam with four twelves, four Fights, SIX
sevens and dangerous force of smaller
pieces.
The guns of the secondary battery are
mounted principally in the tops, on the
bridges, in the superstructure and upon the
turrets but four of the three-fnch rapid
Gr;,, ~ nna IN
each stern, are mounted on the gun deck.
Object of the Secondary Battery.
The primary object of the secondary bat
terry is to resist the attack of torpedo
craft, and it lies within the scope of this
force of quick frers to maintain veritable

From the mixer the mixture is emptied

from the ground. Nargow-gauge tracks run
beneath this bin leading 10 all paris of the
works,and upon these run small cars each

this, but mostly on a smaller scale have

Faced With Granite
The piers being erected near F street are
part of the main building. They will I'LL
timately be faced with white granite and
will support the arches of the main en-
trance and the dome of the waiting room.
In building them box-lille affair is erect
ed, the inside of which has the shape which
it is desired the outside of the wall or pier
shall have. and into this, tie newly mixed
concrete is dumped and rammed down by
men with heavy hampers.
The amount of concrete which will be
used in the building alone, aside from the
approaches is enormous. 1t will amount to
about 10000 cubic yards. Besides this there
will be 10000 cubic feet of stone masonry
and 20, 100000 bricks. The bricks, if pla ced
end to end, would reach from WaShinsto ton
to Ell Paso, Tex. For the floor Orders and
roof supports of the main building, exclu-
sive of the train shed. about 1000 tons of
structural steel will be utilized.

within the side line. This protects them
