The Problems of Builders to Find Found
alton

The rock surface of Manhattan Island
slopes from north to south, and passes
below the tide level at about Tenth
street. From this point south and be-
low the water level the island consists
of great blanket of sand and silt de-
posts built upon the underlying rock by
the tides and currents of recent geologic
times. Beds of clay and sand vary in
thickness, and in some places the clay
does not appear at all. The sands vary
to a considerable degree from the coars'
est gravel to the most treacherous
quicksands.
To give an idea of the fineness Of this
sand some samples were passed through
sleeves with meshes of various sizes, and
finally through 200-mesh sieve, the
openings of which are about .035 OF an
inch in width. From 20 to 81 per cent pass
ed through the 200-mesh sieve. Little may
we wonder then that such fine material,
when saturated with water, should How
as readily as water itself, passing
through every crevice, and seeking its
level lust like any liquid. Herein lies the
reason for the difficulties encountered in
excavating in quicksands; for, should
pumping be resorted to in order to dram
a pit of water. this fine material will IN
variably be pumped with the water, and If
the pumping be continued, will finally be
drawn from under adjoining structures,
eventually undermining them.
What is probably the oldest piece of
wood in existence was found everything
the bedrock at depth of about 40 feet
below the street level, on the site of the
United States Express building, in Green
wich street, and was covered by a stratum
of hard-pan about IL feet thick, above
which was layer of quicksand and muck
about 80 feet thick. The specimen of
wood is slightly brown in color and is be-
heved to have belonged to now extinct
species of cedar As there was no way in
which the wood could have been brought
into this niche in the bedrock after the
hard-pan stratum had been deposited by
the glaciers, it is evident that the tree
of which this specimen formed a part had
been growing before the glacial epoch
