After numerous’ and vexatious delays during the last few years, owing to litiga- tion and other causes, the great project of tunneling the Hudson River is being ener- getically and rapidly pushed forward. We' HITT have from time to time followed its pro- gress, and propose now to give a more de- tailed description, chiefly of the technical features, which, on account of originality and simplicity, are of great interest and re- flect credit upon the president and active manager of the company, Mr. D. C. Haskins, of California; the engineers in charge, Messrs. Spielman & Brush, of the University*of the City of New York, and the superintendent of the work, Mr. J. F. Andersen, of Sweden, to whom we are in- . a >, > RATE “9 $72 saab Ls abe 2 Die ty tye debted for much information and the ac- | companying illustrations. The difficulties, inconvenience and expense attending the present method of transfer- Ting to New York the freight and passen- gers from the depots of the great railways, the Pennsylvania, New Jersey Central, New York, Lake Erie and Western and Delaware, ackawanna and Western are sufficiently Sppreciated by all who have visited New ork to render any comment as to the importance of the new enterprise un- necessary, The width of the Hudson River on the line of the tunnel, from the foot of Ffteenth Street, Jersey city, to Leroy street, New ork, is 5500 feet. Fig. 2, which gives a profile of the tunnel, clearly shows the depth of the river as found by recent very careful soundings. These revealed accur- ately the nature of the ground to be passed through. It will be noticed that fully 3600 feet of the whole length of the tunnel Proper passes through what is called “silt” ® grayish clay which is comparatively favor- able to the safe progress of the tunnel. The maa, which was grazed at the beginning of the work on the New Jersey shore, comes up ®gain near the New York line, and, fora short section of 400 feet, rock enters the floor the tunnel as at present projected, The | structure. crown of the tunnel at least 20 feet below the river bed, and the considerable depth of the Hudson, 60 feet at some points, have 83 feet from the shore line, and protected by a bulkhead, as shown in Fig. 1, was first sunk to a depth of 60 feet ; its sump, which called for quite a considerable grade of the | goes a little deeper than the tunnel line, tunnel, For a distance of approxmiately 2400 feet from the New Jersey shore line, The inside just entering the layer of sand.

It has never until now been used for subaque ous tunneling, for which purpose, judging from the admirable results obtained until now, it will conquer a leading place. It is of course impossible to predict at the pres- ent juncture how well it will be able to meet with the aid of compressed air the difficul- ties presented by more dangerous ground, like quicksand or other strata permeated by water under greater head. As we have al- ready stated, the material through which the Hudson River Tunnel is now passing is, fortunately for that enterprise, by no means of a character to tax the system adopted in a severe degree, but there is every reason to believe that with its aid the present tun- nel can be built at an expense considerably below that generally accepted as a minimum for such an undertaking.

We may mention that under both shores the double tunnels are united in one, so that as far as the approaches are concerned there will be one large double-track tunnel. Each of the two tunnels under the river will be very nearly round, having a clear hight of about 18 feet and a width of 16 feet. We, need hardly point out that this circular ‘orm, presenting valuable advantages so far as lining is concerned, adds greatly also to the stability of the As yet work has been done only THE HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL. | nection is made between the shaft and the tunnel. The most interesting and important nov- elty connected with the construction of the tunnel is the method adopted for excavatiu and removing the material. Saaeseeall air is used to counteract the water pressure and render the face of the work so dry and so firm that no supports are necessary to retain it. In itself the use of compressed air for this purpose is quite eld, hav- ing been used for many years to sink shafts through quicksand, and to make tunnel face, it also performs an important function in serving to convey the material excavated out of the tunnel, the silt being forced out, mixed with water, in the shape of a pulp through a pipe. The free face allows the tunnel lining to follow it closely, and thus exposes to accident only that small section which is actually under course of construction, The tunnel advances with its full section, and beyond a few occasional props to hold the first segments of the iron casing in position, no preliminary timbering lastonishing in this concentration of work to those who have had occasion to watch the long distances intervening between the different stages of work in the different sec- tions of an ordinary tunnel Concerning the details of the work, the following data, for which we are chiefly in debted to Messrs. Brush and Andersen, ma prove of interest. At about one-half the depth of the shaft is an air-lock made of boiler iron 6 feet in diameter by 15 feet in length, and provided with heavy gates at either end, which can be hermetically closed This air-lock forms the ordinary ante-cham ber necessary to effect communication be tween the outer air and the tunnel Pas ing through the air-lock, a temporary en trance, shown in Fig. 1, leads to the tunnel proper. The compressed air is furnished at present by a Clayton compressor having 10-inch steam cylinders and to-inch air cylinders, with a 13-inch stroke, a second compressor of very recent construction being we 044A Phe aM 8 1A maa HUOSON AIVER?: ee we wt wee SING4t can Ss eS eT =f wtw YORe city {in reserve. The pressure used generally ranges from 17 to 20 pounds per square inch, which is comparatively low. The air first enters a receiver, and then passes through the supply pipe to the air-lock, and thence into the tunnel. The face of the tunnel is terraced in the ordinary way in excavating earthwork, and the material, which is dug out at the prese time by hand, is thrown tothe lower part | the tunnel, whence it is forced in a pulp | state through a pipe to the working shaft | the lower portion of which acts as areceiver | for the silt. Approximately the amount of water which is pumped out of the stand pipe for use in rendering the silt pul; enough to flow through the discharge pip ' one-quarter cubic foot per cubie foot of From the shaft the silt is conveyed at pri ent by a No. 5 Deane pump (4 '4-inch wats cylinder, 7-inch steam cylinder, 10 stroke) standing on the air-lock platform to the waste tank, from which it is removed from time to time. The excavation and conveyance of the silt, it will be noticed, a very simple matter, which is much favor by the fact that no bowlders or gravel are |}evermet. The upper part of the face is k a few feet ahead, and enough is dug « make room for the first upper section ring of the iron shell weighing about pounds per running foot The ain keep close up to and ahead of th face with this sheil, completing as early as possible. ‘Lhe s s shell are flanged Y/-inch plat: inches wide and eithe | They are bolted together by tl flanges, and are put up in such a there are no continuous longitudinal This is at once followed by the mas generally in two sections, the more advan | or support is necessary, There is something | being carried to about one-half the hight ee ee 2 O09 = ) as Pew ~~ be at on, ee - ae ee.

The wall is 2 feet thick, of which 1 foot is kept ahead of the other for some distance. The centers are made of light sheet-iron frames, the brick is hard burnt and the cement used is ‘*Norton,” mixed with 114 parts of sand. Both brick and cement are conveyed down to the platform level in the working shaft by being dumped into simple shutes. Work being three eight-hour shifts. At present the rate of advance is about 4 feet per day of 24 hours, but it is expected that the prog- ress will be more rapid in the future. At the time when our illustration was prepared the advance of the works was 104 feet ; on the 15th instant the tunnel was 204 feet from the shaft, and by the time that our description has come to the hands of our readers 225 feet will pri bably be excavated. The electric light is used, both in the tunnel and above ground, the necessary machin- ery being provided and placed as shown in Fig. 1. In conclusion, we may state that, judging from the energy with which work is now being driven by the Hudson River Tunnel Company under the active management of D. C. Haskin, its president, there is every likelihood that this, the greatest enterprise of its kind in the world, will be carried to a successful issue.

W., under date of March 29 are as follows : The International Exhibition here has re ceived a prolonged lease of existence, owing to the fact that the Melbourne commission ers decline to receive exhibits for their fair until about July, and as the judges had not quite completed their awards it was decided to keep the show open until the 20th prox. The past month has been more exciting to exhibitors and their agents than any corre sponding period since they arrived here. All are anxious to secure favorable awards and learn what the jurors thought of their exhibits. Great complaints have been made regarding the incompetency of the judges, and justly so in some cases. Perhaps the keenest competition in connection with this “International” has been in the department of horology. England, France, Switzerland and Australia being represented by all their greatest makers, the United States by the Waltham Company only, and in some degree the latter have to thank Mr. Manson, their representative here, for the results they have obtained. The Royal Astronomer was fixed upon as the most fitting person to make the crucial tests, and he has finished an ex- haustive report illustrated by diagrams. The press of this city has not yet had access to the report courteously supplied to your representative. One paragraph is specially interesting as a high compliment to Ameri can enterprise and ingenuity. Speaking of the Waltham watches it says: ‘‘ In consid eration of the fact developed in this examin ation and the preponderance of elements of inherent and comparative merit (each in independent judgment) being nearly equal to 7 per cent. more than the next highest ex hibit, we have found it exceedingly difficuit to make such a classification to all. We adjudge the American Watch Company, of Waltham, Mass., U. S. A., a first-class award, and such other special distinction, diploma, medal or award as is consistent with the duties aad obligations of the hon orable Sydney International Commission for the largest and most complete exhibit of the horological instruments examined.” AMERICAN HONORS, The awards to citizens of the United States this month are as follows : Printing Machinery.—Mackellar, Smith & Jordan— ist order of merit; W.
