The usual fringe of lookers always to bo found around where such work is going on now appears all day around the excavation for the foundation of the new burbling that is to go in place of the old Fifth Avenue, hotel, and one of tho things that the ga.ers find here to interest them is the handy little steam hammers used for driving down planks to form iticlosures within which the earth Is to be dug out for founda tion piers, says the New York Sun. Commonly this slnvt planking Is driven down by hand power and tliey are sinking some of the sheeting in Unit way here; but they are using also the steam hammers. The steam hammer for this use works something like the steam drill, except that instead of having a drill at Its business end it has a hummer and instead of being set lu n fixed position It Is suspended by a tackle from the, end of a derrick boom. The hammer outfit Is about four feet long, consisting of a frame within the upper part of which Is a steam cylin der in which a project lug piston works, wlijlo nt the lower end Is a solid iron block having in Its under side a groove so that the iron, n.ock, the hummer block, can be fitted on the top end of tho plank to be driven. The hammer blocfe weighs perhaps LX) pounds; the w'aole outfit, which is ni! held together rigidly In the frame, 4X. Suspended by its tackle from the end of a derrick boom tiie operator can swing the hammer in any direc tlon. Steam is fed into the cylinder through a flexible pipe, and the oper ator stalls or slops the hummer sim ply by turning a wlnvl. lie swings the hammer over to a plank to he driven down and adjusts tile hajmncr weight with Its grooo fit ting over the top of the plank and then he turns steam into the cylinder and the projecting piston conies down with fast rcpeated.ipiirk, sharp blows on the top side of the hammer weight and so hammers the phijik down to whore It Is to go. And then the operator shifts the hammer along and settles It on the head of the next plank and hammers that down, nnd so on. The sight Is a novelty.

Their Secret. Bishop Donahue, of Wheeling, W. Va., Is a very conservative prelate. He shares the views of many oilier bishops in his communion concerning secret so cieties, and as a consequence, when tho Knights of Columbus was organized in his diocese, he was rather chary In af fording them official recognition. Final ly, lio became convinced that the order was not Inimical to Church or state, and as a proof of his satisfaction t- tondcd.one of their annual gatherings. A member of the order attempted to twit him on his skepticism, and he promptly retorted : "You young men Imagine that you belong to a secret society; but you aro very much deceived.
