SPENDING FORTUNES
FOR THEIR PROTECTION

bed Of river as it is on the lands
surface is the aim of the Pennsyl-
vania tunnel builders. The old Hud-
son river tunnel, which crosses the
Hudson at Morrison street. was aban-
doned at one time because so many
lives were lost. The main difficulty
was to keep the river from coming
into the tube and drowning the work.
men. The air under the heavy
pressure required to keep the water
from sweeping in, sometimes blew the
roof on the tunnell altogether, and
then the water poured In in such
volume that there was little or no
time for escape.
But nowadays the life of the sand
hog" is at least as safe as that of the
surface worker. Except at times,
when 1t Is necessary to send few
men out back of the shield. the work.
ers are protected by the massive rings
OF iron which form the tube. and in
front Is the still more massive shield.
Still there remains the possibility that
the water will break in, and so where
ever this disaster is at all likely to
occur, steel emergency curtains sur
rounding an air lock, are dropped from
Sho AOOi Vi tuS tuulcI. lu6y reach
from the roof to point just above the
center. and the emergency gangway
running from the heading of the tun-
mel to the curtain makes this isle of
safety available at all times, The
theory T. the curtain is the same as
that of the diving bell. Once the men
get behind it they know that the water
will not rise above the edge of the
curtain, and so while they may be wet
to the waist, they will always have
breathing space.
Recently in one of the East, River
tunnels pocket of wet sand suddenly
dropped upon the back of the shield,
and. given this avenue Of escape, the
air at pressure of 81 pounds to the
inch. burst through the bed of the
river. Within few minutes the tun-
nsl was flooded to depth of seventeen
feet. but all the workers, except two
who wedged each other in one of the
shield compartments. made their es-
cape without difficulty to the emer-
gency curtain.
There remains the fact that hard
work under high pressure produces
inside. the workers a danger that is
perhaps more to be feared than the
dangers from without. Medical men
are still disputing over the exact ma
ture of "caisson disease" or the
bends" Some of them say that the
disease Is nothing more than bubbles
of air in the veins or arteriess-more
air than the blood can absorb Others
say that the bends" is congestion of
blood produced by coming out of high
pressure too quickly. What everybody
admits is that the "bends" is disease
not to he trifled with. although it is by
no means necessarily fatal. On the
contrary, the medical STATS of the
Pennsylvania tunnel builders now
have such thorough knowledge of the
disease and such excellent facilities
for treating it. that not a man has
been lost on the North River tunnels,
and very few on the East River-none
in recent months.

only In the loss of some glass and
plaster-as far as earthquake damage
Is concerned. AS for fire, those build
.ngs that were of brick and terra-cotta
with hreproof tile, properly set in place
and with similarly well-built tile floors
exterior, steel frame, we'll protect,
and partitions and where windows
were protected by wired glass, stair
ways enclosed and such other precau
tions taken (seldom many of them In
anv one building), they were corres-
pondinly immune to damage and suf-
fered accordingly. Other buildings
where fewer or none of such reason
able precautions we're taken, were
shattered and battered by quake and
fell easy prey to the flames.
Naturally. whatever damage was
done in the tall buildings was most
severe at about the middle of the
structures height. Any structural
member laid horizontally and over
weighed is bound to break at or near
the middle. and SO with overloaded
or otherwise bent vertical members,
the line of fracture or least resistance
usually shows itself in the middle.
Architects should keep that we'll in
mind and where earthquake is probab-
lie. should brace and tie that portion
of their buildings most thoroughly.
The full extent of the geological
"faret" that caused this particular
quake will probably never be known.
Its worse effects were felt and evil
dences left on line from Salinas to
Point Arena, while minor indications
exist to distance of fully $50 miles
along the coast. In places, this fault"
is clearly shown by actual assures, in
the earth of eight or more feet in
width. The severity of the resulting
shock is clearly shown by torn and
riven cliffs and landsli,les all along
the coast. though in places the actual
line of fault" is a mile or more at
sea.
Of course. any such catastrophe oc-
companied by so awful fire is bound
to leave a most lasting impressi IN
and fear in the people. occurrences
are expected, and everyone is more cs
less nervous and apprehensive of even
the rumble of cart in the street.
We can have no assurance that as
severe, II not worse, quake will be
felt next year or tomorrow, but We
can take some comfort in the fact that
scientists believe that the subter-
ranean forces, thus broken loose, have
found certain vents and freedom that
will keep them, SO to speak, pacifi.d
and they draw considerable consola-
ton from the knowledge that the
slight shock of '6S seemed to secure
comparative immunity for nearly forty
years.
This particular shock was felt as
severely at Santa Rose, Palo Alto and
San Jose. as it was in San Francisco,
and the surprising thing about it all
is that with SO severe shaking, COM
paratively so few lives were lost. In
deed, it would seem that for some
geologic reason or other, hardly the
chilling of the earth, the force of our
terrestrial quakes seem to be grow
ing less as years speed on, at least, if
We measure them by their fatalities.
The greatest loss of life in our times
occurred in the earthquake of '96 in
Japan, when $4,000 people were killed
In times gone by We find records of
where the fatalities were measured by
the hundred thousand. Thus in China
in 1869, 100000 victims fell prey to

that produces sort of tortional twist.

bodies out, and in the one direction
CThe first shock of San Francisco's
great earthquake was of such nat
ure). The last Of the three classes
Is the undulatory shock, a sort of
oscillating effect, as If one were en-
troubled sea. This last is the kind
of shock that twists railways into the
appearance of immense serpents-such
an earthquake was Japan's of 1891.
Some are of very few moments dura-
ton and others are a series of re-
peated shocks or possibly one long
one of even days duration. In 1888
there was one of but Is seconds at
Casamoicoiola, but 1t destroyed 1900
houses and $500 people were killed.
Some have lasted weeks and even
months. In 1886 in Japan there were
III distinct shocks in one weeks time;
In Hawaii in 1860, 1000 shocks were
felt during the month of March while
IN the great earthquake in Japan in
1891 there were 1858 shocks in twelve
days, while the very serious shock that
ravaged Nice in 1886 lasted but one
and one-half minutes. Naturally, these

Earth, the profiles of mountains are
modified, vast crevasses occur and val.
leys are still more depressed, islands
are engulfed and new ones spring into
existence.
Sand and alluvial formations are the
least propitious of soils. Earthquake
forces seem to lose their power in such
ground. The more dense clays and
rocks of certain natures seem to trans
nit these shocks with the greatest
violence and speed. Quakes that have
their trend through water cause tidal
waves. 1t was such a wave that de-
stroyed the Port of Callac in the eigh-
teenth century, throwing laden ships
considerable distance in shore. In

Day and night, weekdays, Sun
days and holidays, hundreds of men
are at work boring the under-river
tunnels in and around New York.
Down under many fathoms of water

mia railroad will soon land pass

the heart of New York, are pushed
steadily forward, with no more waste
OF time than it takes to change
Underwater work has a fearsome
sound-to those who have never seen
1t going on. Talk to men who have
been engaged in it for years and
you get another idea. There are q
plenty who can speak with authority,
TOR the world has been, searched for
men OF experience to build the
pennsylvania tunnels. On the cross
town shafts sixty Austrians, who
got their training in the simplon
tunnel, are employed.
There are engineers and foremen
here who have tunneled Egypt, South
Africa, England and America, and
who look for other subterranean re-
Igions to conquer.
What do you expect to do when
this job is finished?" one of them
was asked.
Get harder job" was the short
answer.
All the excitement was taken out
of one novice's visit back of a tun-
mel shield by finding tom" Brown,
the oldest foreman on the contract
or's staff, seated on a vile of river
bed silt, gravely squeezing mud balls,
for the purpose of finding how
much water the sand carried at that
spot That nothing but the air pres
sure kept the whole of the East
river from descending on his head;
worried him not the least.
Skilled labor in the tunnels is in
minority, however. There are the
engineers, who keep the lines straight,
inspect and devise ways and means
of overcoming difficulties; and cleo
tricians and pipe filters, who look
after the light wires, air and water
conduits, but the majority OF the
workers are in the unskilled class

plates tnat form the tubes. Each
plate weighs a ton or more, and

Hydraulic erectors lift the iron iuto

to the ring that has gone before:
hydraulic rams braced against the
newest ring force the shield forward

still another ring. This is the routine
of the tunnel worker. The record
is five rings-12 1-2 feet-in eight
hours:

An Adventure

Hannah Moon: A party consisting
OF A. A. Crery and wife. w. A. Wilson
and L. A. Weed set out Tuesday for
Rush Lake to secure some of the fine
mallards, for which the lake is famous.
Securing boat they rowed over to an
island some distance from shore. Here
all went we'll until about sunset, when
sudden squall sprung up from the
northwest. The water became angry
and the party considered 1t wisdom to
come ashore Wilson landed Weed and
then returned for the isolated couple.
After dangerous voyage in which the
former showed courage and seaman
ship he reached the island without an
error. Depositing themselves snugly
In the boat the three started on the
home run. All efforts to make the frail
craft breast the pillows were without
avail. Captain Wilson, with GOODNESS
becoming to all great mariners shaped
his>course by the compass and again
made the island without the loss Of
single life. Labor was ended and
waiting began.
Darkness had fallen and the pale,
silent moon came out to watch the
frantic efforts of boatswain Weed.
Forthwith he established signal sta
tion ashore. Minute guns were fired
and lights displayed to tell the home
sick mariners of the shore. Eventual
ly he despaired Of lending succof alone
and hooking up his standard bred team
he started for Hannah at pace fit to
make M. c. Olson turn green with
envy. When the New York Life man
could compose himself sufficiently to
unfold his tale of woe a volunteer life
saving crew were on their feet. Com
nodore Gilbert, lieutenant Spiker
wheelsman Prior and able seaman Refs
started for the scene with two boats
Boatswain View acted as pilot.
Meanwhile the wind fell, the sea had
gone down and the dauntless spirit of
Captain Wilson asserted itself. All
were safely landed. About half the
Journey to town was covered when
they met the gallant lifesavers. The
closing scene was comedy.

appeared from his farm on Thursday.
Mr.. Smith had hired a man to drive

at Granville where the man had made
inquiries as to the way to Towner
