TUNNELING UNDER a RIVER.
How the Huge steel Shield Is Pushed
Forward.

The crucial point In tunnel building
is the shield. writes Arthur B. Reeve
in the December Worlds Work.
Without it subaqueous tunneling. as
we know it, would be Impossible. In
nontechnical words the shield is like
the cover that fits over a tin tea can
lister. 1t caps perfectly the advancing
end Of the tunnel with its face" and
a shell" extending back several feet
over the completed tunnel wall. In
side this hood the tunnel Is CON
structed in rings composed Of a num-
Der of segments with inwardly pro
Jecting hanges which permit them to.
be firmly bolted together. When
finished the tunnel is usually lined
with concrete. though some are brick
ed, making in either case a perfectly
smooth wall. On each side is shelf
for wires and pipe lines; it also offers
foOtpath at about the height of the
car windows, for use should trains be
stalled.
If the tunnel is being pushed ahead
1 through silt, It Is sometimes possible
to shove the shield forward without
carrying the debris back through the
tunnel, the silt simply sliding away
from Its face. If the mud does not
slide away so readily. it is often pos
sible to make room for the advancing
shield as Its cutting edge bites into
the soft material by opening a door in
the shield and letting the mud
come through, sometimes in a Jet al
most as If from a brick making ma
chine. The tail of the shield is usual
~ divided into compartments, in each
Of which is sliding door. Through
these doors 1T Is possible to exca-
vate ahead of the shield and even for
the men to advance beyond the
diaphragm, as the wall of the shield
is called. When the material is not
auicksand, the compressed air will
itself hold up the roof of such an ex-
cavation, the pressure used at the or
binary depth of tunnel being about
thirty or thirty-flve pounds to the
square inch
If the tunnel is being built through
rock. the men advance ahead of tha
shield with pneumatic drills and blast
the rock away in huge circle,
through which the shield can safely
be pushed. Even when working in
rock, 1t Is necessary to maintain the
air pressure to keep the water from
filtering down from the river through
assures. When working through silt
or sand above and rock below, the
apron devise q for the McAdoo tun-
mel is used.
The shield is pushed ahead by a cir
Gle of hydraulic jacks extending from
the diaphragm of the shield and
braced against the circumference
formed by the flanges OF the last COM
pleted ring Of the tunnel. AS the
jacks shove the shield ahead the width
of ring, the shell slides over the out
side surface Of the tunnel wall and the
segments that make a complete ring
are erected inside It. So the tunnel
grows ring by ring.

that he would be willing enough
Mr.. ]. B. Marshall indicated today
that If support for the band Is not
forthcoming soon that it would cease
as an organization I'VE haven't got
any money in the treasury and am
certainly not in favor Of creating IN
debtedness without any money to meet
obligations.
1T takes us about 500 a month to
meet the running expenses. We are
all square now and don't owe anything
but-ve haven't got any money left. I
don't know where we are going to
raise it, There is no use in trying to
hold public concerts. The town is
overrun with attractions, with vaude-
vile houses, and the A1idwiner will be
here and the pipe organ association
gets what is left. There is not much
chance for a band-you noticed that
when Pryor's came here a short while
ago and didn't make expenses.
mo, 1 don't think we will try to
give any concerts this winter. We
have been keeping our practice up
right a1ong-we have band practice on
Tuesdays and Sundays but I don't
know what we will do If we don't get
some money pretty soon.
II think we will make an effort to
collect this money that is due US from
the city. No, I haven't talked with the
mayor about 1t nor have we tried to
collect any of the amounts"

JOHN DAwsoN's DIPLOMACY.
Put Shocking Language In Such
Words That 1t Did Not offend.


Scotchmen are not celebrated as
artists, but John 8. Dawson, a Hill
City Scotchman, who is at present as
slstant attorney general of Kansas. has
shown the true touch of an artist IL
recent brief which he has prepared. in
which he was intrusted with the deli
cate task Of getting into the record
some most atrOciOus swear words with
out offending the courts sense OF de-
cency
The case was that of ID. M. Brewer.
merchant at Lewis, Edwards county
Kansas. Brewer had row with r. J.
Farris, the Santa Fe station agent at
that point about a shipment of goods
Language was exchanged freely.
Brewer threatened to throw the agent
into a mud-puddle and stamp on him.
He also doubled up his fists, and but
for the interpretation OF a third person,
would have smashed the agent. Then
II is charged that Mr.. Brewer relieved
himself by letting out a string of pro-
family SO lurid and picturesque that
the agent had him arrested for dis
turbing the peace.
The foresaid Mr.. Brewer was con-
victed, and now he has appealed the
case to the supreme court. 1t was
necessary for Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Dawson to prepare q brief in
which the horrible facts should be
disclosed to the supreme COURT Ana
this is the way Dawson told the court
about Brewers naughty language:
1.-The facts of this case, are that the
defendant, D. NJ. Brewer, q merchant
at Lewis Edwards county, Kansas. on
the forenoon of July 10, 1906 in the
course OF a discussion with the Santa
Fe agent at that place over an alleg-
ed liability Of four dollars on bill Of
freight, unlawfully disturbed the
peace of the station agent by calling
him a prevaricator of aggravated type
casting aspersions upon his pedigree,
and ascribing to him certain bestial
propensities, all too foul for repeti-
ton, and threatened to throw the
agent into a mud puddle and stamp
on him.
