the tunnels. For that reason great
steel screws are to be sunk down to
bed rock, and the tracks are to rest on
these. This is equivalent to q system
Of steel trestle work In the mud under

carry through a plan as novel al that.
The man who invented this expe-
dent Is Charles NJ. Jacobs, who has
been truly called the worlds greatest
subaqueous tunnel engineer. Jacobs
built the first tunnel under the East
river, New York, as we'll as under the
North river. He really surveyed and
projected nearly all the subways in the
American metropolis. Years ago he
outlined the scheme for entering New
York which the Pennsylvania Is now
following. He invented the shield sys-
tenn for boring tunnels under river
beds and introduced the novel and ef-
dcient plan Of pushing these great cy-
lindrical shields forward as one would
drive a stake through the dirt, pushing
