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.

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 fair. Through the two branches that ex 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.

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 mains. gas-mains, and sewer-pipes n lit tle way below the surface, l’nder nla of tho*e— unless It be found ex|ed|ent to shift them—the subway must run.

H*ee| columns 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 ger of undermining by water.
