under water. One stick of the explo-
sive would break a plate half an inch
thick, while to break a plate an inch
thick two sticks were required. In
order to cut one of the great Orders,
sticks of dynamite were placed end
to end across it, usually tied to a
stick of wood or placed in a piece of
cheap rubber hose. If the cut was
to be done on the water the explosive
was placed in position a low tide.
Then the workmen waited until the
tide rose, thus affording water
tamping. Above high water the
charge was covered with few inches
of earth. Extra precautions had to
be taken in seeking shelter when
charge was to be fired, for pieces of
steel were thrown great distances.
One piece was thrown across the riv-
err. Twelve tons of dynamite were
used in breaking up the south anchor
arm.
Oxy-acetylene gave remarkable re-
suits. 1t was used to greatest advan-
tage in cutting the heavy chords and
posts into pieces. The flame cut very
rapidly, leaving a narrow, sharply de-
! fined clot not wider than a saw would
make. A square inch of steel could
be cut through in 5-S seconds with
0.4 of foot of gas costing IL cents.
An eyebar two inches thick and ten
inches wide was cut through in one
minute and fifty seconds with the
flame. This method proved very con.
venient, for, as the torch weighs but
few pounds, it could be carried
round anywhere. With all this the
work was tedious. When ten of the
sixteen months had elapsed but half
of the wreckage had been removed.

FORTUNE FOR REMOVING
WRECK,
WRECK.


1t was a strange task which con-
fronted the contractor who undertook
to remove the wreckage of the col
lapsed Quebec bridge. Nine thousand
tons of steel, bent and twisted into
indescribable confusion, lay between
the shore and deep water. There was
no place to begin, for there were no
loose ends. So we'll had the steel
makers done their work that but a
single eyebar was broken in the col
lapse. Starting in January, 1910, the
contractor was allowed until May 1,
1911, period of less than sixteen
months, in which to clear away the
wreckage, including all that showed
in the river at low water.
Two months were spent in expert
menting, trying to find a vulnerable
spot in the wreck and some efficient
method of cutting up the ponderous
members of the bridge into bits that
could be handled, These experiments
brought out the fact that there were
just two means at hand, one being
dynamite, the other the eXy-acetylene
flame. Each was peculiarly adapted
to certain conditions, so that each
supplemented the other. Together
they have performed feats. not match
ed in the annals of engineering.
Dynamite worked particularly well

things in store for it, of that I am

WIRELESS FROM THE EARTH.

Honolulu, Hawaii, May 16, 1911.
Editor Star: May l once again break
in upon the starlit chambers where
borers bore and state a fact or two
at the risk of disturbing astral
thoughts. Ordinarily the evening star
is considered beautiful Surely it has
its place in the heavens. No one
should attempt to detract from it's
lustre, beauty or place. But in it's
course, if it should happen to catch
sight of the islands, by all means let
it pay us a VISIT, at the risk of being
polluted with mundane facts, and we
will show it around on common or
binary earth and demonstrate to it in
part what is being done here.
That $4,000 appropriation you spoke
OF during your course through the hea.
vens last evening was worked to the
limit while it lasted 1t did not last
long. Shall l say it turned out to be
only a meteor, for in response to the
vail LII bChuCAo ulluCl Tie dDDIODTld-
ton no bids were filed. Hence a slow
earthly crawling thing was substituted
in place of it, the $25O,OOO appro-
priation, one-half of which arrives in
Honolulu on June LIST, 1911, and the
other half on February 1st, 1912. THIS
thing is a kind of microbe never met
with here before, but bids fair to do
the business. 1t must look small from
the sky, but l think you will have
faith in it when it begins to work on
June LIST, 1911.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do not intend to
employ myself exclusively in send
ing messages like this to the planets,

have my work to do on earth. | am

are many splendid side trips of which
even the people of Honolulu do not
know.

there will be a few practises in pre-
paration for the great coronation game

warship will be in port and that will
insure game or two. The season
will then be in its stride and pratice
