NEW YORK, Jan. New York
ers travel miles to see the Panama
canal dug, they journey to Egypt to
see the great irrigation dam as Assou-
an and Switzerland to marvel at the
Somm ering, st. Gothard and other ia.
nous tunnels, but right here in Man
haitian under their very noses, or
rather under their feet and unnoticed,
a great triumph OF engineering is be-
ing accomplished-the building Of the
city aqueduct.
A few figures will give an idea Of
the enornity of this undertaking. The
main stem of the aqueduct Is seven
teen and a half miles long and tapers
from diameter of fifteen feet down
to eleven feet. The total length of
the aqueduct from the Ashokan reser-
voir to Richmond Is 125 miles. When
completed, it will have required the
work OF 5000 laborers for five years
and will represent an expenditure Of
s25,OOo,00O.
The city end of the huge tunnel has
been blasted out of the hardest rock
known to biologists. Through Ford
ham gneiss" and Manhattan schist"
the engineers have dynamited their
way into the solid foundation Of the
city. The explosions are seldom
heard in the busy turmoil of New
York life. Today the workers have
more than half completed their work.
When the aqueduct is finished graw
fly will force nearly 5o0.O00,000 gal
Ions of water daily to the highest
points of the city and to the tops of
the biggest skyscrapers. From ter
minal shafts In Brooklyn, steel pipe
lines will send the water into Queens
and Richmond counties.
The deepest part OF the tunnel is
740 feet beneath the street. Reaching
the bottom of shaft by an elevator
the visitor, finds innumerable lanes
cut through the solid rock. Tracks
are laid in these lanes and along the
tracks small steel cars are constantly
bearing the debris caused by explo-
sions OF dynamite. AS soon as car
is emptied the masses of rock are
sent quickly to the surface and carted
away
Those of the laborers who shovel
rock into the cars are called Muck
ers' for this is the hardest job of all
in the actual building of the aqueduct.
Bows who carry the steel drills from
place to place are callAd ''nippers"
and there are slang names for all Of
the workers from the supervising en-
gineer to the blacksmiths, pipe filters.
dynamite keepers and concrete men.
A trip through a section Of this vast
bee hive of industry convinces one
that it is not only among the rattle
Of street cars, the honk of autos and
the roar OF Industrial life on the sur
face that exhibits. of modern activity
can be found.
