various appliances for safety. No
earthwork or masonry appears. The
surface OF the tube is riyited steel,
which will last forever. The ventila-
ton Is nearly perfect. The tube will
be warmer In winter and cooler in
summer than the outside air. The
trains, which rush through at the rate
Of nearly mile a minute, force tue
air out ahead Of them and draw in
fresh supply with the suction be-
hind, which is supplemented by an
electric power ventilyation plant.
The lighting system of electricity
is entirely Independent from that OF
the ventilation or the power plant by
which the trains are run. This is n
very important precaution, because II
the motive power should fail there
will still be plenty of light, and If the
trains should be stuck in the tube and
the lights should go out the pumping
Of fresh air will still go on.
The block signal system Is used and
each tube has its train dispatcher, who
absolutely controls the traffic. AS he
sits in his chair he. has before him a
row OF tubes with coiored lights show
ing the movements of the trains, so
that he can tell exactly where they
| are. No train starts from the en-
trance without his signal, and every
train that leaves the exit sends him a
signal of that fact, There is tee-
phone every 300 feet in each tube.
The cars are built of steel and are
entirely freproof The doors open at
