MAKING A TUNNEL.
Tho Way Railroad Engineers Bore
Through Mountain.

aas#g II - " 0NSI q #VVNHIdtus .ss#55FStgGg
Sometimes the construction engineer
brings his new line face to face with
mountain too steep to be easily
mounted, and then he prepares to
pierce it. Tunnels are not pleasant to
ride through They are, moreover.
fearfully expensive to construct, and
they necessitate double inspection.
But-and the but in this case is a
very large one-they reduce grades
and distances in wholesale fashion,
and so In mountainous country the
engineer must be prepared to drive
tunnels and the folk who come after
him to operate them The tunnel job
Is apt to be separate part Of the
work 1t calls for it's own expert tai
ent
If the tunnel is more than half or
probably be dug from a shaft or shafts
as well as from it's portals. In this
way the work will not only be greatly
fastened, but the shafts will continue
in use after it is completed as vents
for the discharge Of engine smoke and
gases from the tube
The ordinary course of such work is
by the use of cutting shields proceed
ing simultaneously from the portals
and from the footings Of the shafts.
These shields are to be likened to
steel rings Of circumference only
slightly greater than that Of the fin
ished tunnel. Men working on differ
ent levels of this shield with pick and
with drill and dynamite constantly
clear a path for it. whereupon it is
pressed forward. Tracks follow the
cutting shield, and more locomotives,
steam or electric, are used in remov-
ing the material. The use of electric
ity keeps the tunnel quite clear of
gases and makes the safest light for
the workers.
In rare cases the rock through which
the tunnel is bored is strong enough
to support itself. But in most cases
the engineers prefer to line the bore
with brick, as a rule, and this lining
is set in place right in the path of the
cutting shield. After long weeks an.
perhaps months of work the time
comes when the different bores meet
and the tunnel is a single underground
tube from portal to portal.

NAVAL RED TAPE.
The Result Of Having Neither Coffins
Nor Graves In Stock.

i8s4s MOT 0EaVeS IN STOCK. t594
q case once occurred, which is
vouchsafed for by naval officers who
were present and who ten Of it as a
joke, showing the absurdities to which
red tape can go. About twenty years
ago certain ship was in foreign
port. One of the men was taken sick
and on the recommendation Of the sur
geon was sent to a hospital on shore.
The man finally died, and it became
necessary to bury him.
The simple and straightforward
method would have been to call in an
undertaken and have him arrange for
decent casket and a lot in the GEM
etery. This would be the usual proce-
dure with business man or ordinary
citizen. The regime Of economy and
reform, however, would not permit of
so simple course. What actually oc-
Cured was this:
Ihe surgeon made a requisition on
the paymaster for one coffin. Natu-
rally he did not have one in stock and
therefore it was forwared to the fleet
paymaster, who also, not being in the
undertaking business, had no collins
on hand. Then the admiral directed
the fleet paymaster to purchase one
coffin after obtaining prices from six
reputable dealers. The same course
had to be followed in securing the
grave. The surgeon made requisition
on the paymaster for one grave.
Strange as it may seem, the paymas-
ter had no graves in stock. Neither
had the fleet paymaster. Consequently
the commander in chief directed the
fleet paymaster to procure bids from
six reliable dealers in graves and pur-
chase one from the lowest responsible
bidder.
All this, of course, is a screaming
farce, but it is the horrible example
to show what comes when common
sense and experience are set aside to
give room for the play of amateur and
academic fancy.-Engineering.

members of the club will be assisted by
its friends who have in the past contrib
uted largely TO the success of the annual
shows.

at the play is g vehicle for satire and
carries at the same time q story that IS

The cast is now in process Of form5-

TRADE WATTS ON LEGISLATION
Peculiar Conditions Here Says Brad
streets Superintendent-Good
Sales, Collections Slow.

Frank r. Whitzel. superintendent in
Salt Lake City for the Bradstreet COM
pany, makes the following statement
regarding business conditions and the
outlook in this city:
Business for the last week shows a
condition usual at this time of the
year. but at the same time out of the
ordinary; that is. good sales and good
bookings, but very slow collections.
Wholesale business is keeping up re-
markedly well, with the exception o,
implement and kindred lines, for
which this is the dull season. Wholesale
drugs show a marked increase over
1908. as 90 dry goods and shoes, while
groceries are about the same.
Retail trade has been interfered
with by the inclement weather and,
also locally in the clothing and furnish
ing line, by a receivers sale of large
stock of goods.
Bank clearings show a slight de-
crease from the corresponding week
last year. though the widespread
storms are ample explanation.
No failures of any Importance have
occurred within the last few weeks in
this section.
Building activity is practically
stopped by the storms, and all lines of
trade show a tendency to pause to
await the outcome of legislation now
pending"
