BORING UNDER BROADWAY.

Proposal to Construct an Electrical Railway Under Neve York's Main 'Prom the Cleveland Witttin the Past few weeks a wonderfal development of public interest has been shown In the subject of electrical railways. That tie electrical transmission of power generally and the sub-division of currents for conversion into mechanical agencies in are attracting very wide-spread attention-We columns of the daily press for the past few weeks hovetafforded signifietint evidence. This condition of edam has been brought abont by the growing opinion that the electric risilwisy is Mn accomplished The interest in electricity as a motor has so long been dorcuans in -America that European electricians bad the honors tor pushing to a success schemes that really bad their origin In this Local Interest in the operatien of railways and street car lines by else-tricky has been sinemented largely by WI success of the electrical street ear invented by Messrs. Knight Bentley end run on tins Quincy branch- Of the Garden street line fit tuts -city. Great militia interest lies been manifested in the underttiking.

and it lies also had the effect of increasing the local estimation of electricity when used se a rnotorta other portions of the world. Mr. Knight. wao has thus far superiutended the conatruction of the electric road here, WAS yesterday joined bY Mr. Bentley, antiMe-car was succession operated for several.

hours. Mr. Bentley. In-fore coming to Cleveland. maths an extensive studyot the plan by which it is proposed to an electric railway under the entre -length of Broadway.

New 'York. Mr. Bentley said yesterday: has obtained and possesses the charter for bnilding the road, aud the pubio sentiment in New York is very triendly toward the project. An attempt was made to get an )11L extension of tue charter so that the tunnel ar arcade might extend out under the sidewalks-This would have made it accessible from private dwellings and business blocks, but. although the hitt granting the extension passi-ct both branches of tbe Legislature.it was vetoed by the Governor.

Reoadway ought to be dealt with as a scientific street. The advance in constructive art and electrical science has placed within the reaourees of the engineer the means of dealing with Brondway so theta will become the nrost perfect strees in Lacs world. It can without any extravagant out- lay of money. be changed into a smooth azd comparatively silent surface adapted to metropolitan traffic. This can be done by means of anpacede.

requiring an excavation of from fit Iss.en to eiguteen feet, with electrical railways therein with a passenger capacity equal at least to that of the Tbird Avenue Elevated Rom'. The plan of the inventor was to bare four tracks, two being for express trains and two tor accommodations. The former would be for through travel. making only two or three stops while running the entire length of Broadway. The latter would be.

as their name implies. accommodations. Such obstructions 1 as now exist in the sewer pipes, water-pipee, beating pipes and pneumatic 1 tubes would be plaoed in galleries tovtWeell the tunnel and the curb. accessible at every poiat for examination end repair. This would do away with the frequently recurring necessity of tearing up streets and pavements.

It is not difficult to see that this disposition of Broad. stay would benefit everybody and injure no- body. In addition to this a pavement such as has been placed in London and Paris could be used. It is a scientific pavement composed of concrete and asphalt resting upon buckle plates. Of course there are many requirements for such a road.

It must have an enormous usPecity, must not interfere with the street above. and must be absolutely safe. It is thought that these requirements will be realized in the electric road proposed by Col. Hazard. The roof of the tunnel would be supported by steel Columns, forming panels about four feet wide, which could be filled with non-resonant material to secure comparative silence.

The foundations would be of concrete. The car- riages would be composed of steel covered with non-resonaut material similar to the panels composing the tunnels. The center section of the tunnel could be occupied wit; express trains of. any six or seven mils running at tnree-minute headway. The side track would be occupied by way trains with one-minute headway.

The passage of these trains through the tunnel would help vend- late it by establishing a continuous current of air." Mr. Bentley was very much pleased With the success of the electric road in Cleveland. and will remain in the city several days watching its operations. Yesterday experiments were very satisfactory. A fast and very uniform rate of speed was maintained throughout the two hours devoted to the trip.

Among those yr who witnessed the trials yesterday was Mr. J. H. Maxon. of St.

Louis one ofthe best known street railroad men in the country. He ex- pressed tne opinion that the invention of Messrs. Knight and Bently was a success, and thought its workings quite remarkable With so The Golden Days Departed. 0 voices still beneath the churchyard add.

I Preservation of Books from Fire. From the London Academy. H. That books of exceptional value should be protected by inclosure In cases or covers of some kind is an admitted fact; but it is not so easy to deckle tipon'the fashion and Material of the covering.

so as to afford the best Chance of safety to what lies within All books can not be housed in iron safes; we must be content to see most of them ranged on shelves, with or without a glass front, and to know that they are still liable to damage from fire, water, dust, or foul air. From dust we can preserve them oy close cases serving as an outer binding; but the case must be pierced with air-holes. so thut its tenant can breathe a pure atmosphere; thewant of air injures a book as much as a man, affecting it with damn. mildew and rottenness. As against the possibility of a fire, the case should be made strong to resist the action of tne names; while the air-holes, on the other hand.

must not be so large tiler the deluge of water which quenches the fire can enter through them, and work irreparable damage on the volume within the case. With the view of obtaining a precise notion on this subjectone of no little importance to bibliophuestt curious but interesting experiment was made at Mr. cinaritch's residence on the evening ot Thursday week, July M. It was soinewlott in the nature of a ceremony, or, to use a Spanish term, a 'linden, we might say, indeed, an aido-de-le, tor such it seemed, as, surrounded by a number of pious votaries of bibliophily, three volumes (ot legal character and little worth, and therefore deemed beret! al by such ti tribunal) were committed to the flarnee of a lire which was lighted in the host's garden. Each was inclosed in a different pull-off" cuse, and the maker of the cases, Mr.

Zaehnsdort, stood by and played the nun of executioner by turning the books from time to time with the help of a pair of tongs. so as to assist' the action of the flames. After half an hour's intense suffering the vie-Urns were hauled out, and by and by extracted front their ruined coverings. One, which bad been in a case lined with tin, unplerced with airholes. suffered only in its binding, which had been slightly damaged, not directly by the lire, but only by tbe heated metal.

A second, of which the case was of the usual kind, but also unpiereed with airboles, came out intact and The third, in a case resembling that of the second, hut pierced with air-holes ol good meet, the fire! and the water by which the fire was extinguished having both found admission through those punctures, the water being the more deleterious agent of the two: The book was however, not materially injured. From this experiment it may be concluded that a good ease will, in almost all instances, preserve a book from destruction by fire, that a metal lining to the case is not necessary and that the air-toles (which experiments et a different kind have proved to be indimpensihie) should be small and numerous, distributed over the top and Iron; edgesanct not only on tbe I I 1 1 ATAILSTICS.

The elder Gales has a deep wound in the abdomen. Norris surrendered himself to the authorities. SHOCKING AFFAIRS. Some Memorable Upheavals of Mother F.arth,'Recalled by the Late Earth. Quake from the Pittsburg '011 If George were only here.

That's all it's all I thought of Just at the time." said a lady yesterday. who bad arrived from New Ydtlf od the morning train, and was telling a the earthquake. Diteltartialte things much?"

"What did you want with George?" I thought it the earth was going to open and swallow us all I wanted to go witu him. I could not beat9he thought of being buried in one big crime and him in another. I think it he had been there I wouldn't nave been troubled the least Didn't you teal -like bunting a place of safety?" is there safety if not On the solid ground? When that le shaking and rocking where in the world would you go? One feels awfully lonesome when the solid earth ceases to be a safe footing." Those who have felt the shock of an earthquake say it produoes a very peculiar sensation. There is a desire to fly but where to fly Is the question.

Before it is answered the trouble is over and the imminence of the peril that surrounded them begins to become apparent. It is then the panic commenves. People run hither and thither hunting their children and friends, tear the furniture out of their houses or wender aimless around looking for a place of safety when they know one place is just ms safe as another. At Castamiectoli last year, the people ran up and down the streets after the first shocks paying no attention whatever to the piteous cries for help from those half buried under the toppling walls or in ruins of houses. Nearly every one had a piece of furniture of some kind, which was frequently of each a character as to be of no earthly use to tnem.

One old lady wile was completely nenned up in a basement room, after attracting the attention of those outside and inducing them to open a hole for her to crawl through. first banded out a hen and wanted them to wait while she caught another that had got away from her. At the same time several members of her family were lying mangled and dead in the rooms above but she never once asked for them. The shock apparently paralyses certain branches of nerves, or perverts their action to suet' an extent that people are for the time insane. It is so universally the case that they do the very opposite of what they at some scientists hold that the great magnetic disturbances of the earth changes tor a time the polarity of the brain.

'mother words the magnetic forces lose their equihbrtum and the machine runs wild, as they as of an engine wilen its governor belt jumps off or breaks. The most remarkable earthquake of which there is any record. not excepting those preceding the eruption of Vesuvius by which Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried, oc-. curred in Portugal in 1755. The City of Lisbon was reduced to a pile of stones sticks and mortar, and 00.000 people killed within six minutes.

The waves of the sea ran fifty feet high, completely aubmerging the greater portion of the wrecked city and drowning those who had escaped the tumbling walls. A portion of the city sank SOO tact. Where was once the grandest edifices and the broadest streets is now the deepest portion of the harbor. Ott the day of Christ's crucifixion an earthquake occurred which opened great Crevasses in the rocky bills of Judea. The inhabitants of that country were used to such demonstrations.

but on this occasion a darkness smead over the land, causing a sense of fear and dreadto possess not only the people but animals also. An earthquake. which occurred in Central -America January 11, 1835. was also accompanied by darkness and followed by the eruption of a volcano. These are the only two earthquakes of which there is any record that were accompanied by anything like total darkness.

The greatest shaking up the United States is known to nave gotten was by the famous New 1 4 I 4 a 1 1 I :1 .1.
