From Llte's Wcrkly.
Now* York Is puling |3s.(KO.nq under
1 ground. All that money ia going Into a
hole in the earth. Yet when this punc
ture of Manhattan soil comes out of tho
I crude and takes on definite shape ns an
engineering problem successfully solved
nnd completed, it will be spoken of os the
underground rapid-transit system, and
wHI be the most start ling achievement of
j H* kind that the world haa over under*
, token.
Isotidon ha* an underground railway- a
stuffy, poky affair, with constant elements
i <f danger and panic attending possible
: brook-downs In the motive power. Boston
i has on underground rallwruy ~ tieot. cheer
ful. ond hanly, and representing it big
• outlay. Yet Boston's cherished achieve*
rnern in this line is puny when comimrefl
writh the great artery of transportation
thot will, for the most port run Just tin*
1 der tlk* syrfnoe of the busy, throbbing
' enormous me4rot*dls 0 f the New World,
i The problems to be worked ou! In New
| York -They are already fully planned-ore
numerous, vast tn extent of difficulty, nnd
j requiring every variety of specialized
j knowledge In civil engineering.
In the first place, there Is a great deal
! nf popular misconception a* lo the exact
I nature of this huge subterranean affair.
Bv many peoplt* It Is tertnefl a subway;
•‘’III more call I? a tunnel. It Is neither,
wholly. A? the w*.irt. and for ti consldera
able dtstnnce. this great artery of travel
will be what Is properly railed it sub-way—
that Is. an excavation cut down from the
surface and covered over. Over a portion
of the route thl* method of construction
would not do at all; her genuine tunnel
ing, through solid rock, must be resorted
to. while farther on. up In Harlem, the
tracks will go over a viaduct across Man
hattan valley A portion of the mail will
aI mo be *f the regulation construction of
an elevated railroad. From the beginning
* end of the raid there |* not a prob
lem known to railway-building that will
not have to be solved all over again.
Many other question* that have never
com** up with the builders of ordinary
surface ritilwrays will have to lie met and
settled. In the suhwnyji the construction
will be of steel and masonry. In th** tun
nels there will be only masonry, while the
viaducts and "I-.'* structures will be w holly
df steel.
Tufidy Miles of Hallway.
The southern terminal station will be
!at (Tty Hall. Thence the underground
I railway will prfK**e| up Klin street to
i Fourth avenue to Fortv-second street. It
I may turn here, or In one of the near-by
j puralic! streets. That is a point not yet
fully tb*elded, nnd will be a gool deal
governed by the comparative na
ture of difficulties when th* engineer**
reach this point. Through whatever street
the railway turns. If will cross over to
Broadway, theme up that thoroughfare
and the King>bridge road, stopping st the
bridge near Van Cortlandt Park. From
One Hundred and N.nety-second street
fhe road on the West fl!e will pass over
elevated trestles. At One Hnd-ed and
Second street n branch tunnel will run
under Central Park, thence a'.ong banox
avenue, crossing the Harlem river, and
passing be rest of the way over an ele
vte4l structure until It reaches Htvnx
Park Thus tho two outemio*t limits of
th.' city will be reached From city hall
to Una Hundred and Third street the tin.
•lerground railway will N* a four-tra* k af

tend from there ncrlhwanl the two-track
system will prevail.
In ad there will !>e twenty miles of
j railway, of which some throe will be tun
nel. The r* st of this groat stretch of
track will be divined between subway,
viaduct a, and “I*” struct urea. 80 far.

avenue there Is a de*p cut. and Masting
'ls of doily occurrence. Here u dop h of
between thirty and forty foot has been
i reached, and here some of the left sam
ples of the engineering difficulties of the
work are to be seen. There are water

are already In place, and the steel glr-.
der* are being riveted In position. The
columns rest on masonry, under which Is
a stratum of waterproofing, aid under
thl-* still more masonry, for these columns
must be stanch for nil time, with no dan

At one Hundred and Righty-hrst street
a shaft has l en stink that Is to b** a i>art
of th* tunnel, Ktnnding at right angles
with It shaft, after the first few
feet, has been cut tnrougli solid rock, and
Its dimensions are thlrty-tko by sixteen

Oi * of iho most welcome features about
th© rapid-transit system will be the run
ning of fast expraas trains. While the
In.-.ii trains will In* on an average from a
quarter to a third of a rrd> apart, the
expr'* t rations will to* at least a mile
and a half opart. Train* once und'w way
can attain lo a speed of forty miles an
hour. Ixmml trains will do well to reach
n -f*eel betw* n nations of from thirty
to thlrty-Jiv** mile* an hour, and even tb*
ml vantage of this apeed will le greatly
sacrificed, of routi , by the need of fre
quent stopn. From CTfy fla!) to lloricm
the lrl|* by an express train will require
mi expenditure of only from twelve to fif
teen mi mites' time, utsl even this shorter
running time may be cut down when the
road Is In good running order.

motive power. In case of a break-down
of motive power the Itghte wc-uld still
glow out and passengers could take to

reached. Ventilation of the best kind Is
assured in the subways end tunnels. The
t:ipld motion of trains will In Itself be
a powerful factor in keeping currents of
air Ui veaneiuM motion. There will be

It Is yet too early to estimate the num
ber of men who will be employed on the
work. John R McDonald la the contrac
tor. Ho has kV (ignis) for expenses and
profits. A million and a half more thin
will bo expended on what Is broadly
known as "equipment." which. In the

Douald Is letting the w.*rk out In |>arc I
to n boat of sub-contractors, many of
whom have not yet l*een calleil to do their
share In the tusk, for the reason that the
details of what they are to do cannot yet
l*e fully determined. Mr McDonald holds
the largest contract of the kind ever
awarded to one man.
Thar*’ Is one use to which this under
ground railway system may be put some
time In the future, and one that probably
ho* not occurred to one person In n thous
and of those who have looked curiously
on at the excavating arwl blasting In
time of naval lw>miardmcnt or siege this
immense underground artery of New York
life would furnish a "bomb-proof*' htg

there are to be miles of auch deep cut*
The three miles of tunnel would simply

Yorkers during devastating shell tire.

one point Itk the city to another, and be
safe from the enemy's fire In transit.
But the chance* arc all against the ne
