purpose of sustaining the weight of this great building
and its normouS plant in safety, the foundation was
carried down to bedrock. the substructure composed
of Portland cement concrete, with large granite
bases under each column.
y remarkable system of feeding the furnaces with
coal has been adopted. and under the ingenious ar
rangement a great saving of time will be effected.
The coal bins have a capacity of twenty-five thousand
daily. The coal is received by a fleet of barges on a
pier that runs out into the Hudson eight hundred feet,
giving ample room for several of the boats to unload
at a time. On this pier a belt convever is run to the
bins. which are located at the top of the power-house,
directly under the roof. As the pockets Of the con-
veyer go past the boats the coal is transferred into
them and carried aloft. From the bins it is fed
down automatically to the furnaces, and the ashes
are sifted through to the basement.
From this power-houSe will emanate that unseen
energy that is to put in motion this great system of
trains that is to annihilate space and time in the
metropolis. The mysterious fluid is projected through
a huge bundle of wires and cables to the eastward
under Soth street to the various sub-stations. or

Streets, without material interruption of the service.
The general plan for providing for the sewers was
to build two new oneS-one at each side of the subway
and immedi itclv next to the abutting hous.s. Where
sewers crossed the route they were passed beneath the
subway in iron pipes. and a new oItfall sewer built from
the lower end of the cross connection on new gradient.
Where sewers hive been ntersectcd-notablv At
Canal street-at n point where the bottom Of the
subway passed below tide water, a new sewer was
built and the flow diverted.
In the LenoX avenue extension a large inicrcepting
sewer was built outright in Seventh avenue. draining
northward To the Harlem river. 1t has Il diameter
of nine and a half feet. and was designed To- divert
the flow of sewage of Washington heights from the

SUGAR CANE GROWERS
PLAN FOR CONVENTION.
Railroads Have Granted Cheap
Rates for Jacksonville Gathering.

Railroads Have Granted Cheap
Rates for Jacksonville Gathering.
The second annual convention of the
Interstate Sugar Cane Growers Asso-
citation, which will be held in Jackson
Vile, May 4-5-6, promises, Capt. D.
C. Purse says, to be even larger than
the first convention, which was held in
Macon last year.
Much work for the convention has
already been done. and there is still
much more which will be pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible. The rail-
roads have already granted a rate
of one fare for the round trip, plus
20 cents. and have granted a liberal
limit on the sale of tickets, and the
length of stay allowed in Jacksonville.
1t Is probable that quite as many
distinguished men will be in attend
ance at this convention as We're pres
ent at the one in Macon 1t is already
settled that among them will be Secre-
tary James Wilson, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and DIR. H. w.
Wiley, head of the bureau of chemis-
try. Both these gentlemen are well
known in this section. and have visit
ed Savannah on more than one occa-
sion.
A request has already been made to
the various counties to elect their dele
gates and this will doubtless be done
shortly. The programme of the con-
vention will be announced later.
