greater interest still is the fact that
he pays his taxes without protest. For
forty years Mr.. Field has not made a

es. Most multimillionaires find a way
to escape paying more than a fraction
of what would represent their just pro-
portion of the burden of taxation.
Mr.. Field has about 10000 persons in
his employ. He has not made all the
money there was in his business, for in
the course of forty years he has had ten
partners, who have retired worth sew

But Marshall didn't go back to the

career is chiefly identified with it. He

lowing to bis inventiveness, his intre-
pidity in the face of danger and his re-
sourcefulness at the crucial hour, it is
now an accomplished fact.
The secret of success was found in
a shield system and compressed air.
A long cylinder with a steel cutting
edge and a system of doors and cham
bers in the front through which the
mud could be taken away was in
vented by Mr.. Jacobs. This immense
cylinder shield was driven forward
4by system of hydraulic jacks.
Twenty-Five inches at a time the i'm
mense tube was pushed through the
wet earth. The ring of exposed mud
behind it was held in place by COM
Dressed air. This pressure must needs
be nicely regulated, for. if too strong
it would blow hole through the river
bottom and if too weak the immense
weight Of water above would cave in
the roof Of the tunnel As rapidly as
each twenty-five inch ring was ex-
posed 10y the forward movement it
was Immediately covered by perma-
nent tunnel walls and ceilings of steel
and IRON which were riveted into place.
Inside this was built another arched
wal Of brick. Again was the shield
pushed forward, the mud removed and
fhe next exposed ring treated in the
Same manner.
Mr.. Jacobs was led to make this in
Eenton by running into an unexpected
area OF silt and decomposed rock while
prlVlng the gas tunnel under the East
flyer. From the initial stages he de-
Felqped the idea until for the second
trolley tunnel under the Hudson he
PAD dispensed with the idea of remov-
Phg the mud and forced it aside as a
Slake forces aside the earth into which
Is driven. One of the chief OBJ
ftacleS into which the resourceful en-
eineer ran was in this same second
roiley tunnel, where he had to drive
portion of the hole through rock be-
Wv ana mud above. To overcome this
inHculty an apron or platform was
orced out ahead of the shield and the

Years afterward, when Harrison had

former subordinate by appointing him

fired on if they attempted to run the
blockade. Conger had important du-
ties i'll the United States, and he did
not propose to be deferred from going
there by any Brazilian. Securing a
steam launch, he hoisted big Ameri-
can flag on it and steamed out of the
harbor to an American merchant ship
lying outside. The rebel guns were
turned the other way while he passed.
