WHICH WORKED HARDERs
A writer in Chicago Exchange

A writer in a Chicago Exchange says:
 ,"I, thought all the oldfashioned idea about women working was long since dead. and I have long believed that a woman can dignify any work she may undertake, instead of the work lower- ing her. But a young man, dressed in the latest fashion. with all the airs and graces of a lord, whom I know, seems to think oth erwise. HIS mother told me that he had peculiar distaste for any woman who worked. She said: Now, there's Mrs. S.. know he can have no objection to her in the world, but just because she works in a store down town he does not like her. It's foolish, of course but he is a regular crank on that sub tect.'
 T hardly know what to say, but I thought a great deal Now, this moth- CT of this young man. who has such horror of a woman who works. cooks three meals a day, and the aforesaid young man Is extremely exacting as to her punctuality and selection of the menu. He finds fault with his mother if everything is not exactly right and strictly on time. She gets down on her knees and scrubs three times a week, for she is an exqu1tite house. keeper. and he is the first to notice tracks on the front porch or spots on the floors Not only this, but she washes and irons has clothes every week, and they must be spotless and inst right to suit his fastidious taste. I couldn't help but wonder who work ed harder?"

and trim the sides of it to the shape of the outside of the shield prior to pushing 1t. The first push was made against sections of the tunnel iron which were built temporarfIy across the shaft to take up the reaction of the shield. and after the shield had advanced in rock section as far as was safe without fear of the rock caving in and flooding the shaft. q concrete bulShead with air locks was fitted behind the shields and the work progressed under compressed air.
 The trip then proceeded without fur- ther incident through the two air locks to the surface. The party was kept fin the first air lock fully twenty minutes as too rapid lowering of the pressure would be fatal. In the second air lock. where the pressure was reduced from fifteen pounds to normal, the men were kept over ten minutes.
 The Engineers Responsible for the Work.
 The chief engineer. Alfred Noble, has been responsible for the design and the construction of the tunnels. He has been assisted by the board of engineers, appointed by the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company. which. in addition to himself. originally consist ed of Brigadier General Charles W. Raymond, chairman; Gustav Linden-

TRIP UNDER THE RIVER
 IN GREAT P. K. K. TUBES

' II for the trip. The requirements were severe, because the visitors would have to be subjected to enormous air pres sure In passing through the lair locks" which are yet in operation. as the tunnels are not yet fully com pleted.
 About twenty men were sent out to the Vong Island city ofices of the compAny to go through the ordeal. They were first ushered into a dress ing room. where they found complete outfits of new oversIls. shirts. coats, .oilskins. oilskin hats and enormous hip boots.
 E.. W. Moir, vice president of S. Pearson and Son, in great hip boots and big white wool jacket, explained the scheme of things with the zest of boy. Mir. Moir was the engineer in charge of the first Hudson River tun- mel which was begun In 1889, but given up for lack of funds to finance 1t, after Moir had pushed 1t 1000 feet under the river. This tunnel was completed recently by William McAadoo. and Moir's shield of twenty years ago was again used in the work.
 Tn the North River tunnel, s. Pear son and Son had already shown the way to drive through the Hudson silt and before the tunnel was aban- doned they were making a speed of up to ten feet per day. so that the problem of tunneling the North River was practically solved score of years ago. With the East River 1t was a different matter, and the trial borings which had been driven by the Pennsylvania engineers showed strata of rock on each side of the river slop- ing down. so that the tunnels emerged into full face of boulders and quicksand and ultimately reached silt and quick sand without boulders. In the middle of the river the Man-o'-War's Reef, which is a continuation of Blackwelps Island reef, stands up out of the quick : sand. so that the roof of the tunnel comes sometimes ten feet above the reef and sometimes only one foot, but very seldom is there sufficient rock in the roof to form 6 safe cover for the men, so that the problem consisted of tunneling by shield through quick sand and through a mixture of quick sand and rock.
 Dnnxers Encountered Under the River.
 In trying to keep the air pressure sufficiently high to overcome the head of water and quicksand at the bottom of the Tunnels. the contractors wer,

confronted with the risks of blowing off the roof of ouicksand. and allowing the water to enter the tun- nels. In this they were between the devil and the deep sea. If they low cred the pressure sufficiently to pre- vent blowouts. then the tquicksand flowed from under the shield and be- tween the joints of the tunnel lining. and allowed the tunnel to settle. and If they raised the pressure high enough to prevent this, they blew the roof on and flooded the tunnels. s { It was E. w. Moir. although he did not say so himself to the party that iforesaw and guarded against this dan- ger by specifying that the Pennsyl- yania Railroad should obtain from the War Department the necessary per- mission for dumping clay In the river he'd to a sufYicient depth to permit of the raisIng of the air pressure without risks of bfowouts.
 Tremendous Air Pressure Necessary tn
 Boring.
 The problem of supplying sufficient air to overcome the leakage through the open quicksand in the roof of the tunnel was a great one. and it was thought that an air plant of capacity .of not less than 25.ooo cubic feet of air per minute for each side of the river would be sufficient. This capacity was supposed to be ample, but when the shields reached the bulkheads of the Manhattan side. and commenced pass ing underneath the Long Island Rail- road slip, where there were many piles 1t was found that a cApacity of as much as 20. cubic feet of air per minute was required at times for one tunnel only, and 1t was just possible with the plant at first arranged for. to keep two tunnels going. but under very precarious conditions. The plant was therefore. augmented by two more air compressors, making total of seven with a capacity of 35.o00 cubic feet of air per minute, and a reserve of 25 per cent more, or a total of 43.700 cubic feet. made by speeding up all the com pressors. It was not until the shields were able to pass underneath the clay blanket beyond the pierheads. com MnAd with constant filling up of the cavities over the tunnel lining to pre-. vent the airl from leaking backward oycr a large area of said roof. that the dificulty of supplying sufficient air passed away.
 Great Power Plant . Sight to Be Re-
 memberea.
 The collection of such large mum her of big-sized afr compressors for a temporary purpose, has never taken place before and the lower plant at the Manhattan side is a sight to be re- membered,- the total power represents ed being about 5000 horse power. In

 Described.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Great bridges and lofty buildings constructed by daring engineers and fearless work men always attract much attention while they are being made, and draw expressions of wonder and admiration from visitors for years after their completion, but tunnels ana tubes" sunk far underground and water out of sight are not appreciated at their true worth by the majority, although they are far more wonderful. The four great tubes, twenty-three feet in diameter, that have been pushed through rock and quicksands from Long Island to the Manhattan shore, under the very line of the Thirty-Fourth street ferry of the Long Island Railroad, have been advancing simultaneously for more than two years to completion, and thousands of people never knew of the magic that was being worked eighty feet and more below the surface of the stream.
 These four great tunnels of the Pennsylvania Railroad from Long Is- land City to Manhattan through which will whirl express trains from Long Island to all parts of the continent. are now a fact. On Wednesday of last week for the first time since the work began, party of men not con- nected with the construction force was escorted through the tunnels more than eighty feet below the sunny sur face of the East River. and marveled how men could triumph over the dff- faculties that were apparent even to their unpracticed eyes.
 Stronghearted Men for the First Trip.
 The contractors, S. Pierson and Son, Inc, through the resident engineer of the. Pennsylvania Railroad, S. H. Woodward, sent an invitation to all the newspaper offices in the city to send "a representative with strong heart and sound in wind and limb"
