UNDERGROUND NEW YORK.
LONG AVENUES OF COMMUNICA
TION AND HOMES UNDER FOOT.
Honeycombed Ground Beneath the
Street Level, Where Thousands
Live and Work.
~TC SECTIONAL view of almost
/ \ any part of tho city of New
York, says tho Herald, would
(£ proscnt a sight quite aston
ishing to the uninformed, as to tho
actual condition of tho apparently
solid ground below tho street level.
The firm foundations on which rest
* the city and its teeming lifo lie far
below tho pavomonts, and tho streets
themselves aro only long and narrow
elevated ridges, supported by tho
walls of tho groat buildings, and rest
ing on subways, channels and numer
ous underground structures.
Beneath tho skin of paving lies tho
circulating, nervous and muscular
system of tho city; in other words,
the sewers, water aud gas pipos, the
wires, distributing electrical energy,
and the powerful engines, whoso work
is made manifest through whirling ma
chinery, lifting elevators and milos of
cables moving underground and con
veying hundreds of cars, loaded with
thousands of passengers. For all of
this thero must be great rooms, miles
of pipe, long, arched passages, nu
merous subways—all having their ap
proaches, basins, manholes aud vur-
ions entrances. These constitute an
intricato system of avenues, over
which we walk and ride, and tho en
trances to which .pro marked by tho
numerous iron plates aud grated open
ings that are seen by tho thousands
along tho streets. Add to this the
dark, ill-ventilate<l dwelling below the
sidewalks, into which poverty forces
thousands in a great city, and wo have
underground New York.
Tho multiform uso of electricity,
and tho vast increase of tho business
in New York, brought tho decreo that
wires must go under ground. It was
a hard fight, but tho poles aud wires
had to go, and subways were built.
Thero aro now 125 of these ways
reaching out to every portion of tho
city, aud carrying tho various wi.Ajs
used as electrical conductors, includ
ing telegraph, telephone, electric
light and fire alarm wires. These aro
under nearly every street, and in many
4 streets are two sets of subways—one
for electric lighting, or high tension,
and the other for telegraph and tele
phone, or low tension. Besides tho
main trunk lines of subways, there aro
lateral ducts which reach out liko
great arms to the centres of tho blocks
on cither side.
Above and below and on cither side
of these electric subways is a vast cir
culating system that works an import
ant part in tho city's economy. This
system fairly honeycombs tho ground ;
in every direction. There aro largo
pipes with smaller branches, aud theso
last have yet smaller arms that enter
every building in greater or less num
bers. This system is mado up of tho
gas and water pipes. Tho gas, start
ing from tho groat tanks placed ou
the lowest ground in tho city, floats
through more than two thousand miles
of pipes that ond iu millions of burn
ers whero tho gas is used to contribute
to tbo convenience und comfort of u
w vast population.
And tho water, starting from tho
huge reservoirs on tho highest ground,
flows through more tban eight hun
dred miles of mains, which have their
lateral branches terminating with yet
smaller pipes at tho hundreds of
thousands of places whero water is
noeded.
There aro other comparatively small
underground pipes that havo roacuod
no considerable length, but promise
soon to do so, particularly tho pneu
• mutio tubes, of which there ure now
about fivo miles. That several milos
of theso tubes will havo to bo con
structed by tho Postottioo Dopurtment
is quite likoly. Thero is also now iu
use iu tho city four miles of salt water
pipes.
Tho greatest ways of underground
<Now York aro those through which
tho sowago of tho city is disposed of.
This is a wonderful system in its ex
tent and importance. Its ramifica
tions reach every point, aud its hun
dred thousand mouths aro to rc
ceivo tho waste that existence of hu
lnail lifo demands must bo removed
and discharge it into tho waters about
tho city. Thero aro about live hun
dred miles of sewers, varying iu size
from twelve inches to twelve foet in
diameter, with tho smaller connec
tions that lead to every building. Be
sides the roceiviug openings and tho
numerous manholes that load to these
sowers thero aro about six thousand
receiving basins to catch tho surface
drainage.
Tho figures hardly give a correct
idea of tho extent of tho sewer system,
with its pipos, ranging from tho sizo
of a rat hole to gre it urebod avenues,
through which a team of horses can bo
driven; such as tho sowers under
Canal street, 110 th street and Fifty
-4 ninth street. Theso aro hugo arches
of brick and stone, twelyo feet wide at
tho base and eight feot high.
In the sewers work is always being
done by men who earn support amid
tho dampness, foul odors aud gas laden
air of those streets of tho underground
Now York. A struugo lifo it is in such
a pluce, but tho work must bo done,
and many persons aro anxious to do
it. Gas sometimes accumulates be
neath tho iron mahholo coverings,
whon a spark from horseshoo fires it
and an explosion occurs, raising tho
covering, tearing out tho brickwork
aud endangering human life. Thou
tho workmen must descend into the
opening to mako repairs.
* % Every day to tho city sewer depart
ment cOmo reports of leaks that call
for men to enter tho labyrinth to ro
move obstructions and make repairs.
Such is tho underground work that
gives employment to hundreds of mon.
And these men somotimes make
strange "finds" in the hidden places
where they work. Not only are lost
articles found, but booty, hidden by
thieves to avoid detection, and even
the bodies of the unfortunates mur
dered and of hapless infants arWfcrought
to light by these workers in under
ground New York.
The demands on street railways
have necessitated an incrcaso in tho
oxtent and population of tho under
ground city. There must be an under
ground chunnol to carry the moving
cable, and there is now in the city
sovonty miles of such ways, enclosed
in metal, with a slot above through
which to communicate to tho cars,
and drainage openings bolow connect
ing with tho sewers. Every thirty
five feet along these lines aro open
ings where mon can ontor into tho
lower regions to oil tho machinery
bearings and mako repairs. Then
thero are tho great arched chambers
whero tho chango is mado from one
cable to another —that arc marked on
the surface by signs that say "throw
cable" and "tako cable." Here aro
men at work, and all along the lines,
particularly at night, aro these under
ground workers seen going in and
coming out of the openings—covered,
whon not used, by iron plates.
Then tho cable roads uecessitato
tho immense underground power
plants, like tho onos at bread way and
Houston street and Third avenue and
Sixty-fifth street. Hero, far below
the surface of tho street, are men
working amid powerful machinery
that moves milos of stool cable to which,
are grippod dozens of cars with thoir
loads of humanity.
Besides tho iron doorwnys that leal
into tho underground avenues aro
smaller ones along the cables roads
cover signal boxes, from whero elec
trical communication can bo had with
tho power houses.
Tho extended basements and sub
cellars under tho telegraph buildings
and power houses, from whero com
munication is had with tho ways be
neath tho streets, and where men work
by gas and electric light; aro mere
suggestions to the underground rooms,
whero thousands of mon work, do
pendpnt on artificial light, and at
times ou machinery for air that is cir
culated for their breathing. Under
all of tho great office buildings, whole
sale blocks and tho large rotail stores
of tho city aro floors under floors,
whore machinery is busy, where pack
ing is done and manufacturing carried
on. Not only under tho buildings,
but below tho sidewalks, theso rooms
extend, and tho feet of hundreds of
thousands of pedestrians are daily
passing over the heads of tho workers
in underground Now York. Ground
is expensive, and humanity must bur
row in tho earth for tho privildgo of
living.
Theso cxtonded areas covorod by
buildings, whero men toil day and
night, constitute a largo part of tho
underground city—tho city of labor,
where men stay for a time and thou
leave for homes abovo tho ground.
But iu underground New York thero
aro homes below tho pavomonts--
homes whero men and women sleep
and where eliildrou aro born and
roared; limitations called homo by
those too poor to havo tho free air and
light from heaven whilo thoy ihsist.
upon liviug in a great city.
To see theso places go along Hos
tcr, Division, Madison, ilidgo or other
of tho streets on the crowded East sido
and descond into any of tho open col
lar doors and forco your way through
tho throngs of children. Little, dark,
unvcntilatcd rooms. Sunlight never
roaches them, aud tho air has a strug -
glo to enter. Op Esssx, below Riv
ington street, iu ono block were found
soven euch basements, which averaged
fivo rooms to a cellar and six inhabi
tants to a room. Squalor, tilth, dis
ease aud orimo must of necessity al
most displace all clso iu such homos.
Hero is fouud the darkest view of thq
picture of underground New York.

Trapping Salmon In Norway.
There is a very singular way of
trapping salmon ou the Norweigan
fjords. Hero and there, as you pass
along those groat, magnificent fjords,
cut deop into the heart of Nor
way, you may seo a solitary figure
perched upou a sort of spidery, fragile
looking timber lookout, overhanging
tho ijord. A week later, or a month,
as you pass again, you may seo that
lonely figure, his eyes always bent
upon tho fjord beneath him, still keop
ing his watch.
Tho man is a salmon catcher; in his
hands are a couple of long ropos, con
nected with a not in tho water below
him, aud day after day ho sits up
thero iuteutly watching until ho sees
a salmon pass into liis net. Tho in
stant this great event happens ho hauls
sharply upon his ropes, closes tho
mouth of tho net, ami thou, getting
into his boat, proceeds to pick up tho
salmon at his leisure.
The salmon caught is sold to
some hotel upon the fjord, or scut
with others in ice to Bergen by tho
next steamer. Tho fisherman gets
from 3.1. to Oil. per pound for his
catch—4d. is un average price—ami
evou tho hard earned capture of three
or four Hl] 1110 u a week, procured at
tho expeuso of long, weary days of
watching, menus a good deal to those
poor pcasaut farmers, with whom
Tfeady money is a scarce commodity.—

Fresh Air in Winter.
An interesting test, which proved
thnt fresh uitvfu winter was beneficial
to even young and delicate children,
is reported in the Journal of llouse
holdEcouomics. It was tried recently
in a babies' hospital in Boston.
All the sickly babies that were suf
feriug from chronic indigestion nut
lack of nntritiou, auil wiio would not
improve in spite of good food, p r
fcotly ventilated rooms, ami careful
bathing, were wrapped as for tho
street, put in their perambulators, and
taken to the lop ward of tho hospital,
whero all the windows were wide open.
Thoy wero kept in this room from two
to four hours daily, anil soon showed
a marked improvement. ' Their cheeks
became rosy, they gained in weight
and appetite, and would often fall
asleep and remain so during tho en
tire time they wero in tho air. Very
delicate children had bags of hot water
placed at their feet. It is recorded in
the account of this experiment thul
not one ohild took cold as a result
of it.

A Church ol' Ice.
The olllcura of the Neptune line
steamship l'atapsco, which arrived in
port recently from Rotterdam, via Sun
derland, witnessed an early morning
scene in mid-Atlantic which FlTst Offi
cer l'opham says was beyond descrip
tion and any human power of repro
duction. The beautiful sight was
caused by the sun shining upon a huge
iceberg about 7 o'clock 011 the morning
of August 2, and continued for fully
fifteen minutes. The iceberg was 270
feet high and 550 feel long, and was
on tiie edgo of a dense fog. it was
shaped exactly like a church, having at
ono end a towering spire that was
pierced near the top of tho spire in im
maculate white.
About fifty feet from the top the
sun's rays blended into a soft pink that
was most beautiful to behold. Back
i f the spire was a slanting roof that
tho action of the fog and sun caused to
appear in a deep blue. Near the spire
was a perfectly simited Gothic arch, in
which had been melted a fissure so like
a window us to almost make one be
lieve it was built there by a mechanic.
The sun shone througli this in all its
brilliancy and dazzled the eyes of those
aboard ship. The fog formed a deep
background near tho water and made a
marine picture that could never be
painted. Besides all this, the sun,
shining 011 the many small projections
of the berg, made the whole look as
though millions of sparkling diamonds
had been piled together. The officers
say that many statues and fantastic
figures were discernible about the
mountains of ice. The seamen and
officers were awed by the beauty and
grandeur of the "scene.—Baltimore

BRAVE COLONEL LARKE.
With His Arm Badly Broken He Writes
and Works Every I)uy.
Col. Julian K. Larke, the Crimean
war veteran, met with an accident re
cently. in which he demonstrated that
the soldier is born and not evo
iuted by a system of drill. Ho is
one of the bright writers on an afTlV
noon paper aucLiias charge of the real
estate department. On one of the cold
est days of last week, when the breath
seemed to freeze qnd icicles gathered
on the mustache and beard, the Col
onel, chipper as a chipmunk, although
ho is over GO years old and is all scarred
up with wounds received in battle,
called at the Real Estate Exchange,
Bays the New York Commercial Adver
tiser. In descending the steps from
the streets that lead to the exchange
lie slipped on the frozen ice and fell
heavily 011 his left shoulder.
Like a nimble athlete of thirty years
he picked himself up, and, after finish
ing his business at the exchange, lie
went to ids otllce, and wrote a column,
coolly smoking a long Havana, known
as the "Smuggler's Delight." His
brother members of the quill noticed
that while he was writing his left arm
hung limp and motionless at his side.
Finishing liis copy and calmly knock
ing the ashes from his cigar he said:
"Now 1 will look at my arm." He tried
to lift up his left arm, but he discovered
that it was not only broken, but consid
erably fractured. Ills shirt and coat
sleeves were soaked with blood. Sev
eral wished to ruii for a doctor, but ho
simply said:
"Oh, it is nothing; I'll go out and
have it set." lie lighted a fresh cigar
and went out and found a surgeon,
who tried to lecture the brave old vet
eran, who lias fought through wars,
because he neglected bis arm so loug.
"Oo home early and stay there a week,"
said the surgeon, after he had splin
tered the broken arm. The surgeon lit
tle knew the vitality of the Colonel and
his devotion to journalism. The next
day lie turned lip in the office and wrote
five columns of statistics, the data of
.which he had been gathering for some
time.
His coolness and heroic nonchalance
in suffering "great pain have won the
admiration of all the editors and re
porters 011 the papers and they propose
to honor liini in some way, either by
tendering liim a banquet or giving him

g, J ( </%((// Pearline came, it was danger
\ i oi'.s. Pearline takes away lac;
\ danger it takes away the

fw 1 is no trouble in keeping things clean
' ' soa[>, you need hard work ; for easy work,
you need Pearline.

Largs Sores
I under each side of her neck; had the attend
ance of tho family physician and other doe
tors for a long time, but seemed to grow
j worso. I read of many people cured of serof
! ula by Hood's Barsaparilla. As soon as wo
ignvo ilood's Sarsaparllla to Clara, she began
to got bettor, and before tho first bottle was
gone, tho sores entirely healed up and there
has never been any sign of tho disease since.

Healthy Robust Child.
Ilor grandmother took Hood's Sarsaparilla
at the same time, ami tho salt rheum decreas
ed iu its violence and a perfect euro was soon
effected. It took about three months for her
cure, and she ascribes her good health and
strength at her advanced ago to Hood's Sar
saparilla. It has certainly boon a Godsond to
my family." Mas. Soruu WOLTIS, Zalcskl, Ohio
