Nei- ther the Moffatt nor the four Euro- pean tunnels were finished with concrete walls, Ingenfous devices were used to drive though the passageway in the three years allotted the con- tractors by the railway, Not only was work started from both ends but a 622 foot shaft was sunk to intercept the path of the tunnel two and half miles from the east entrance. From this shaft drilling was started towards both ends and these four primary points of attack were augmented further by a tem- porary parallel tunnel run from the shaft to the west portal five and a half miles away. This temporary or pioneer hore was located approximately on the same level as the main project and about 50 feet to the south. Being much smaller than the main tun- nel it was completed several months earlier, From the pioneer bore cross-cuts were constructed into the large tunnel making it possible to gain access to the main route at several places and keep work going at a number of points. Construction of the tunnel re- quired removal of nearly 900,000 cubie yards of earth and rock and the pouring of 264,000 cubic yards of concrete, PATIENTS LIVE IN ATMOSPHERE. OF tude.

The atmosphere in the globe fs heavily charged with oxygen, which on account of the air pressure is ab- sorbed directly into the body cells of patients in many times the am- ount taken in under ordinary con- ditions. Dr. J. Cunningham, whe devised the treatment, started years ago at the University of Kansas with ex- periments on animals to prove his theory that oxygen under compres- sion would be absorbed direetly by body cells. These experiments were applied to human beings later and then expanded to the point of keeping patients in cylindrical pressure tanks. Oxygen Pressure The last development came when H. H. Timken the Canton, Ohio, manufacturer, financed the present unique sanitarium.

Part of Dr. Cunningham's ther- apy is based on his belief that a convalescent patient must enjoy his life if recovery is to proceed at the most effective rate.
