with a fino collection ot animals and if you will come with me you shall see them the children sprang to their feet and followed bessie into the house and np to the big delightful garret where they spent many rainy days their faces where bright with wonder and curiosity and their troubles were instantly forgotten j aoross one end of the garret a ourtain had been hung whioh parted lo the middle

rubbish and loose rocks so that the caisson may rest on a sold and level foundation further more if the use of compressed air presented difficulties at the great depth of 55 metres the engineers propose to attack the soil with rotary instruments the nature of the ground lending itself readily to such a treatment the masonry in the caisson it may be added would not be solid wells would be

year its profits were 26 000000 this year they will be larger still it is called the great octopus because not content with its virtual monopoly of the oil tradeofthe country it has taken iaio ito grasp numerous other industries and is still reaohlng for more in a sketch of the history of this glgantlo concern in areceht tssuo of the chloago tribune many interesting facts are stated the standard oil trust was developed out of the business of the clark brothers two young englishmen spnsofa wiltshire agricultural labourer who in 1863 had a very small refinery- in cleveland their bookkeeper was john d rookaf eller a young man of twenty- three who was in receipt of a salary ef 25 a month he had been left 3000 by his father and one day he suggest ed to the clarke that he should put this money into the business and that the firm should extend its operations ho was shrewd enough to see the possibilities of the oil traje which was then in its infanoy his sugges tion was adopted and the clark refinery began to increaseits output whioh in 1865 had reached 150 barrels a day but rocke feller saw that still more could be done with increased capital and in 1870 a com- panywas organlzsd under the style of the standard oil company its nominal capi tal was 8600000 but the real figure was muoh smaller the plants of the different re fineries whioh wens into the oompany being thrown in at anoy figures and representing nearly the wholo of thai oapital from 1870 to 18s3 the policy of the oompany under rockefellers dlreotion was aggres sive and cunning the market was con stantly manipulated and some way of taking advantage of the forced changes in prices was never wanting rival bonoerna were either bought or crushed and pretty soon the standard had practical control of the trade in 1883 changes took plaoe in the personnel of the company the clarke and several others who had made comfort able fortunes going out among those who rem lined the leaders were the rockefel lers h m flagler s v harkness o h payne and h a hutohens a more conservative polioy was then adopted the the idea of this gigantio undertaking is not new it has been talked about by en gineers lor the last thirty years but it has recently been revived because the hostility of the english people to the project of a tunnel between the two countries seems so strong that there is no hope of overcoming it for the present at least an internation al company under the pretidenoy of m leon say has been the last to study the tunnel question five years ago the channel bridge and railway company was organized at london and paris with aj capital off 200000 the main object of this company was to make the necessary studies for the proposed bridge its president ib m de gay du palland and the board of directors consists of the comte de chandordy formerly frenoh ambassador the hon philip stanhope member of the house of commons m enverte engineer and m de gay du pal land the oompany has consulted the rost eminent technioal authorities upon the possibility op the opebation and today it presents a complete project which has been prepared by m hersent who has been one of the great contractors for the panama canal works and who is the inventor of the powerful diags used there messrs schneider oo of the celebrated creusot works and the two distinguished english engineers john

the old game of wiping out opposition was continued in most oases this was done by pensioning rivals on condition that they ceased business for instance one pitts burg firm whioh was becoming dangerous was paid 50000 a year for ten years at the end of that period it oommenoed opera tions again but two years ago its whole business was bought outright by the stand ard for 1600000 the results of this polioy have been the acquirement by the latter of a virtual monopoly of the entire- oil trade of the united states and the consequent enojmons growth of the fortunes of its members in 1880 the capital of the company was 10000000 in 1885 it was 72000000 on which amount its profits last year were nearly thirty per oent it pays a dividend of twelve per oent and reserves the balanoe of its

pillars are to be of masonry composed of beton calcareous stones and portland ce ment resting on the bea of the channel on the white or binn chalk whioh is found to be sufficiently resisting to bear a weight of 10 to 12 kilogrammes per square oenlimetre these pillars where the depth la 65 metres will have at their base a superficies of 1604 square metres the masonry will be strengthened at intervals by layers of granite and above the water level the masonry will be entirely of granite these pillars will be 25 metres lone and their breadth will vary with the breadth of tho system of metallic columns whioh will rest npon them as to tho weight that will rest on the gronnd it u calculated at 150000 tons for tho deopest pilars whioh will filvo a pressure of 9 kilo grammes por square

caissons can be bniit and floated tno bottom of tho caisson wil bo a chamber four motres high which will be built in a dock and then floited into tho port where tho metal walla will bo continued

the caisson stability and j cate operation the caisson- will as we have seen be towed to the required spot and then surrounded by pontoons fitted with powerful cranes and winches these pon toons themselves would form a protecting belt against the violence of the waves the pontoons again would be surrounded by openwork rafts that would cover a consider able surface and finally the choppy move ment of the water would be neutralized by the use of oil it is thus probable that a stretch of calm water would be obtained around the caissons so that work could be carried on without interruption this was tbo case in the port of toulon where these metallic 1 caissons were used 1 1 land where- more than 100000 tons of beton floated in a baisaon for several months each pillar will take a long time to build m hersent estimates the cubio total of masonry in the us piles at nearly four million metres and the weight of iron in the caissons at 76309800 kilo grammes counting 250 working days a year and working simultaneously on eight caissons at a time these pillars of masonry could be built in ten yeabs at a cost of about seventysix millions of dollars- 0 v 1 in the projeob that has beea submitted by the engineers of the creusot works there are 118 piles fourteen at five metres depth and eightysix at the height of the sealevelyary- mg from ten to fortyfive metres j thesup- porting piles in masonry arid stone are to be built up to a height of twenty metres above the highest tides and j twenty seven metres above the lowest water level the dimensions of these piles at the top are 45x20 metres upon these solid supports will first be placed cylindrical metallic piles whose height will vaty fromforty to forty- two metres and upon whioh will rest the principal girders of the platform there will consequently be from the level of the seato the floor of the bridge a clear space of sixty metres which is sufficient to allow the maats of the larsrest vessels to pass under the- placing of the metalio platform upon vertical cylindrical piles leaves the whole width of a span clear whioh is not the case in the new bridge over the firth there the height above the water level is fortyfive metres but tbe height really exists only for about a third of the opening toward the two extremities it diminishes progres sively and is scarcely fifteen metres near the masonry pile the spans or openings- between the masonry piles will not be of sqaallength it is propose to have three types of alternate spans 300 and 500 metres 200 and 350 metres and 100 and 250 metres the- longest -ones- corresponding to the shoals and the apprpaqhes to the ahorc the width of the bridge is variable the greatest distance between the axes of the principal girders is twentyfive metres this space having seemed necessary to assure stability against the most violent gales but the width of the platform upon which the rails rest is only eight metres this will allow of a double traok of the ordinary width 3j feet between the rails whioh will be set in grooves to i prevent all 1 possibility of accident the level of the tracks is seventytwo feet above low wafer mark this height might have been reduced by placing thetraoks i on the lower part of the brligu but in this case it vbnld have been necesasry to make the cross beams too large and too heavy there will be ho carriage way and no
