MAKING HUGE HOLE IN GROUND
Yastnees of tha Job of Digs-las' for the
ft Pennsylvaala Teralaal fa
ew Tork City.
f '
Tha enormity of tho task of excavating
for the new Pennsylvania railroad station
In ''New Tork city can hardly be appreci
ated by the mind not accustomed to deal
Ins., with engineering problems. Those
persons with good Imaginations who can
picture to 'themselves a huge block e
earth standing 1,600 ft high, 400 feet wide
an forty-live feet . thick have a fairly
good idea' the way the soil being takon
ouf ; of tha new depot site would look if
reared on end. u'
There Is absolutely nothing in New Tork
city to serve as a comparison with such a
"stab" of earth. The FlaUron building, a
convenient standard of . measurement now-
adays, dwarfs Into Insignificance beside It.
There need be ro dispute over the towers
on "the Park Row. building when comparing
It with this .big piece of ground. Allow
. Ing the total height of that structure to
be 8- feet from tho ground to the top
of the towers, and accepting tha building as
tha highest in tha city, four such buildings
might be piled one above the other and
they would still fsU seventy-two feet short
of tha height of tha pfto of esrth.
The contract Is said to be ths largest of
Its kind ever undertaken Iri this country.
Work, was begun under It on July U. It
Includes provision, not only for tho re
moval of 1,100,000 oublo yards of earth and
700,000 oublo yards of rock, but also for
the construction of 60,000 yards of concrete
wall. ,
' However disastrous tha big shovels may
be to tha prosperity of the laboring man.
It la certain the they are effective in such
work as that at the Pennsylvania slto.
Tha ground to filled with big atones and
tha . old foundation walls of ths 1 houses
andj other, structures which once covered
the site. Against these the small hovels
and ptoks of ths worklngmen can make
only slow headway. Tha big steam shov
sle cut through them about ac easily aa
a big knife cut cheese. One big heap
ing steam shovelful practically fill a tip
cart,,, The men In charge of the work aay
; that , such a shovsl contains about 250
small or ordinary hand shovelful, and
that It does In about three minutes what
would take one laborer nearly three hours
to accomplish with a hand shovel.
Ths unit of measurement In such work as
thla Is the cublo yard, and tha contractors
say that each big shovelful extracts about
three and one-half, yards of earth at each
"dig." while tha capacity, of and, tn6vel
Is given as about 1.000 yards a day.
Tha contractors say that the work at
the present time la just a suggestion of
what It will be, as only about 0,000 yards
a day are now being taken out. The e
cava'lon will be carried to a depth ot six y.
Sva feet at Ninth avenue and forty-Ave at

DRAINING THE EVERGLADES
Weaaerfally Rich Section of Florida
to Bo' Reclaimed aad Made
Predaetlve.
There are great agricultural possibilities
In ths Florlds everglades. Though they
are yet merely an expensive wests of
swamp and Iske and jungle, I venture to
predict that they will be the location of
hundreds of fertile farms within tsn years
and will br degrees develop Into one 'of the
most -productive tracts of Isnd In the world.
Ths barrier to the utilisation ef tha ever
glades hss been, of course, the water which
covers ths greater part of them to a depth
of from 4ne to six feet. But It has been
found entirely practicable to drain off ths
water. Work to this end hss already been
begun and Is being pushed rapidly. When
It Is completed a tract of land 100 miles
long, and sixty miles wide , will have
been opened to cultivation. The else of this
reulort Is not ss Important aS the remark
able productivity of the soil. The letter la
not only absolutely virgin, but has been
fertilised by animal and vsgetsble . Ufa
through many centuries. I am confident
that Its crops will lift Florida to a place
among the loading agricultural states.
The project of draining ths everglades at
traded tho attention of Henry B. Plant In
, the early M's, but he was by no means
sure thst the scheme was feasible, so I,
Acting under his direction, undertook an
expedition through the region. Despite Its
proximity to centers of population. It was
then- for the first time thoroughly explored
by white men. Ours wss virtually a voy
age of discovery. We paddled our light
boats on lakes snd camped on Islands thst,
I have good reason to believe, hsd never
before' been visited by sny human beings
but Bemlnois Indians, and by these but
rarely. We underwent ao many hardships
that some of our party were compelled to
turn back, but our efforts were not In vain,
for we ascertslned the Important fact that
the everglodes along the whole 100 miles
of the esstern side sre rimmed by a rock
ledge. We furthermore learned that all of
the lakes are several feet abovs sea level,
and we decided that there was nothing
whatever to prevent the water of the Iskes
from flowing Into the ocean and leaving the
land drained If vents could be made In thla
long ledge of rock. The chief question be
fore us pertained to the practicability of
cutting through the ledge In various places
and dredging out outlets Into the Atlantic,
which Is not more than two or three miles
away at numerous points.
Experiment proved that this work would
present greet no difficulties. It was merely
a matter of a great deal of digging. Henry
M. Flagler took up the project and it
Is being carried out by his lieutenants.
Ws are not only making srtlflelsl outlets
through the rock, but are also, by ditching
and dredging, turning lsrgs bodies of water
Into rivers and creeks which flow to the
ocesn. The work has progressed fer
enough to enable me to predict confidently
the opening In Florida within a very few
years of a great tract of land of almost
unprecedented fertility. Success.

TRAVEL ON THE MISSISSIPPI
Move to Revive Former Glories of
Passeaarer Traffic on tho
Bis; River.
Three new passengsr steamboats of the
best modern construction ars to be built
to run regularly between St. Louis snd
New Orleans. Visitors - to ths city are
surprised to hear that there Is at ths pres
ent time no passenger line between thla
port and tha Crescent city, and ara at a
loss to understand how such a vacuum
could possibly come about Every one
familiar with American literature has
heard of the famous atsamboats that once
gave Ufa and excitement to the river be
tween Its two largest cities, and can
scarcely comprehend "the circumstances
that have wiped them out. On other im
portant rivers, such aa ths Hudson, tha
steamboatlng has kept up with the times.
The lake and coastwise lines have been
Immensely Improved and are abreast wltn
ths general advancement of the country.
When It Is learned, therefore, that the
last passenger steamer running from St.
Louis to New Orleans hss disappeared,
ths natural demand la for an 'explanation.
Why should ths greatest river of North
America, traversing ths richest valley In
the world, exhibit this deficiency along
Ita lower stretches, where the water is
deepeet and practically free from Ice the
year round? How Is It that enterprise and
capital have allowed so plain and sura an
opportunity to go unimproved?
Tha trouble haa been In grasping ths
situation as to the requirements of ths day
In steamboat oonstiuction and operation.
It is proposed that the three new steam
era shall bo up to data In safety, speed,
draught and accommodation In a word,
what has been lacking Is adaptability.
Great strides have been made In passen
ger vessels on the ocean, tha lakes snd
rivers n the east. No progrets can be
reported along tha Mississippi. Tha law
that facldltles for travel must go for
ward or backward has asserted Itself, and
nothing In ths passenger lna ramalna be
tween tha greatest city on ths river and
the next greatest nesr Its mouth. Prob
ably It to fortunate that ths, last of ths
old boats ars gone. The fresh start will
be absolutely new In all respects. New
boats, on better models, becked by auffl
dent resources, will quickly command a
satisfactory volume of business and in
tract a largs body of passengers who pre
fer the east and scenery of river travel to
any other form of transportation. Out
slds capital recognlsss the opening as ono
of exceptional value. St. Louis itself haa
been somewhat handicapped by outworn
river ' traditions and limitations, with
wealth and commerce pouring tn through
many channel,' It has grown Indifferent
about tho river and allowed even its excur
sion business to si and charged with dis
reputable features.
Ths -Mississippi .river .runs straight
toward the Isthmkn canal, which will
soon begin to figure prominently in ths
eommeret of the world. As ths rlvsr U
Improved Its craft grow more commodi
ous, but much csn be dose now a long
way In advance of the pest. Thla fact
will be demonstrated by the three new
steamers, and so rapidly thst their num
ber win be rapidly increased. What haa
paeeed away will have Its plsca In song
and glory. It had Its beginnings before
railroads existed and nay have been too
slow In adjusting Itself to a new era. At
all sventa, .none la left between hero and
New Orleans. The future Is an unwritten

Measarlnat Water la Mains.
A water meter h been Invented for
measuring large volumes of flow. It Is
Intended to be built Into pipe mains and
consists of a short oonlcal or contracting
pipe ending In a shorter cylindrical section
or throat, and followed by a long conical,
expanding section. The two ends ara of the
sams diameter as the main. A bye pass
opening starts at tho upper end, follows
outslds the contracting core and ands In
ths threat, with an acuta angls, ths Junc
tion being msde with a contracting core
and throat. This bye pass, with Its cors
and throat, are of a much smaller diam
eter thr.n the mains, and each part of the
bya pass bears a definite and known rela
tion to the corresponding part of ths main.
A spsclslly designed displacement meter is
Inserted In ths bys pass pips and to so con
structed thst It registers ths snttrs flow
through ths main. This may have an au
tographlo record attached. The meter to
based on ths principle that ths temporary
loss of head at the throat of tubes of slnv
liar design but different diameter, due to
the temporary increases In velocity, is the
sams In sach tubs for any given velocity
In tha main; from this It follows that when
the temporary losses of head exist at ths
throats of sach of two similar tubes of
this character the velocity In each main
must be the sams and ths flow through
each must be in direct proportion to their
respective areas. Two meters of this type'
have been recently built. Chicago Tribune.
