ANCIENT ENGINEER'S FEAT.
OortMl Tunnel, Similar In Slii-plon,
In l'lilesllnc, IT.uOO Ycurff Ajro.
Unmistakable evidence exists that
2,000 years ago certain Hebrew engi
neers (in the time of King Ilczeklah)
executed exactly the same kind of
work which was cat Tied out in tho
Slmplon tunnel, though perhaps on a
"lightly smaller scale, says the Scion
L.ie American.
Dr. Hertholet, a professor at the Uni
versity of P.asel, Is the gentleman
who claims to havo made this discov
ery. Tlie Jewish record states that
King Ilezeklah, or E'.eklas, who
reigned at Jerusalem 7-7 11. C, was
much troubled at the bad state of tho
water supplied to the people of that
city. He accordingly had a vast reser
voir made at the gates of the city, to
which water was fed from various
springs lying at greater or less dis
tances from the reservoir In question.
At llrst his project seemed doomed
to failure, us there existed between
Jerusalem and the springs from which
the water was to be derived a high
chain of hills, over which it would bo
Impossible to convey the water. It
was therefore determined to open a
passage for the water through thu
solid rock. One of the Sirach MS3.
dating from this period states In this
connection: "ilczeklah fortified. Ida
city by bringing water thereto, and he
bored through the solid rock by meana
of broire, and he collected the watpr
In a reservoir."
Kceont explorations have enabled
this predecessor of tho Slmplon to bo
thoroughly ldentltied. It Is said to bo
the Shlloah tunnel, by means of which
water was brought down from a
source to the east of Jerusalem, and
poured into the pool of Slloum, men
tioned In the IJible. This conduit ii
'M0 yards long. The distance, as tin
bird tiles, between the two mouths of
tho tunnel Is only 1100 yards, whlcb
proves that the work was not executed
In a perfectly straight Hue due doubt
less to the dlttlcultles which the engi
neers encountered In their task, which
(for the period) was of a really mar
velous nature.
That the work was commenced from
hoth ends of Kio tunnel Is not only
proved by tho Inscription, but also
by the fact that tho marks of tha
boring tools, picks, etc., may still b
seen, all bearing In opposite directions.
The direction of the tunnel was al
tered several times during the con
struction thereof, as there are several
short galleries which wore evident
ly abandoned as soon as It was noted
that working was being done out ol
line. The lloor of .ho tunnel Is tin
lshed with the greatest care, and tin
workings vary from live-eighths of a
yard to ono yard In width, by from
three feet to nine feet in height, mor
or less, nccordlng to the hardness of
the rock.
In the light of modern engineering
sciaico the following questions suggest
themselves: How did these old-tlun
engineers gauge their direction, recog
nize and remedy their errors in align
ment? What tools did they use to ex
ecute a piece of work which has re
mained without equal or rival for 12,"00
years? '
