From the BountifuI East.

A small proportion Of the fora is in
digenous. The majority came from
the east, like all the great ideas Oh
which our culture is founded. and were
developed and improved on this classic
soil. Italy received the lemon and
the orange from the Semites. who in
their turn had obtained them from
India. The olive. the fig. the vine and
the palm were grown by the Semites
long before their cultivation penetrat-
ed to the west. The laurel and myr-
tie. indeed. are indigenous in Italy. but
their use for ceremonial purposes came
across the Mediterranean from the
east. The home OF the cypress is not
in Italy, but in the Greek archipelago,
northern Persia. Cilicia and Lebanon

4 Puzzled Author.

When AlphonSe Daudet brought out
"Sappho" an American PUBLISHING
house that issued religious books not
knowing its character offered NJ Dau-
det large sum for advance sheets Of
the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book. and they cabled to the author,
"'Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet. He consulted with
numbers of friends. and this was the
conclusion ut which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho' in French is spelled
with one "p"-"Sapho," after the Greek
fashion. In English II Is spelled with
two An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet. which much re-
lieved the novelist. and he cabled back
to the publishers. Spell it with two
p's." 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudet's reply than he had been at
their cable dispatch.

New YOrk-NOt millions of dollars
alone, nor the skill of designers, nor
the cunning of craftsmen enter into
the making of a great city. Sky
scrapers, bridges, tunnels and sub
ways must be purchased at a heavy
cost of human life. Few realize how
many men die that a great public
work may be created. Engineers and
builders say that the sacrifice is in
evitable. Six tunnel systems are be-
ing constructed under the North and
East rivers. According to one esti-
mate, there is one man killed in them,
on an average, for every day of the
year. A well-known engineer has es-
timated that every floor of a modern
building of pretentious size has cost
a life, either in the forests where the
timber has been cut, in the coal and
iron mines, and stone Quarries, the
steel mills, the caissons sunk deep in
the earth for the foundations. or in
the steel superstructures that rise
1acelike to the sky.
Hairbreadth Escapes.
Yet the spirit of adventure walks
hand in hand with death. While many
lives were lost that the Brooklyn and
there were escapes by the workmen
engaged on them that would seem
grotesque and improbable if put into
a novel. A man may die for every day
of the year during the construction
of a cassion CT river tunnel, but the
men who escape tell stories that
would enhance the fame of Hugo, Poe,
or Eugene Sue. The sacrifice of life
in public works, too, is a story apart
from the record of seven lives ended
by violence in this city for every day
in the year. 1t takes no count of the
men, women and children killed by
accidents in the streetS-one victim
for every sunset.
A hint of the sacrifice of life in pub
lie works was found in the records of
the board of coroners in Manhattan.
Last year there were 2,16O deaths by
violence in the boroughs, and 6S4, or
nearly one-third, were caused by falls,
explosions, the collapse of earth in ex-
.cavations, premature blasts, and fall
ing rocks and timbers. The river tun-
nels were pushed forward at the cost
of 6S lives, or 43 in the Pennsylvania
terminal works, 20 in the Belmont
tunnel two in the subway borings I'M
der the East river, and three in the
Hudson company's terminal at Church
and Dey streets.

Search World for ~Immunes."

Search World for "Immunes."
The necessity of obtaining sand
hogs" with these peculiar physical
qualifications, with tunnel building in
this city to an extent hitherto un-
precedented for tunnel workers, and
not a little diff Guilty in obtaining the
required number. The Pennsylvania
railroad, for instance, literally
searched the world for men of ex-
perience to build the tunnels. On
the crosstown shafts they have scores
of Austrians who get their experience
in the Simplon tunnel. The engineers
and foremen include men who have
tunneled in Egypt, South Africa and
England. AS many as 5000 men have
been employed at one time on the Nc
Adoo tunnel project On account of
the constant menace to life and limb,
their wages are proportionately large
Chief Cause of Danger.
The large number of casualties on
the North river works is explained
by the peculiar difficulties of. the
work. The East river tunnels were
driven largely through rock. In the
North river the tunnels must be
driven through masses of soft silt,
varying from OOZlDg mud TO dreacner-
Gus Quieksands. The compressed air
must be maintained at higher pres
sure to keep out the water The dam
ger is greatest from blowout" or
a leak, with its sudden thrush of
water. Indeed, the old heading of the
tunnel which crosses the North river
at Morton street was abandoned at
one time because so many lives were
lost by ..blowouts-"
Last January eight sand hogs"
fought for their lives in a caisson
nearly 100 feet under ground at the
Hudson companies terminal at Fulton
and Church streets. There was a
blowout and sudden thrush of
water. The eight men scrambled for
the ladder reaching up to the door
of the airlock. The opening was only
large enough for one man to pass
through at time, and the men fought
on the ladder to be the first to reach
it Two of them fell back into the
water in a struggling heap A third
got his head through the door and was
dragged back by two others All three
fell on . fourth, and all had duck

lock hoisted them from their trap.

Dangers of Compressed Air.
With all precautions it is apparent

believed, they had passed too quickly
