recognize the necessity of combining attractive-

reason they specify the

extended to 150,000 horse-power by con¬
structing an addition on a part of the plot
left unoccupied.
The power house is divided by a longi¬
tudinal wall into two parts, forming a
boiler house 104 ft. wide and a generator
house 96 ft. G ins. wide. The length of
the building is 395 ft. on 74th st. and 41iJ
ft. on 75th st. The boiler house contains
a basement, two boiler floors and coal
pockets located immediately under the
roof. The height from the basement to
the top of the monitor Is 128 ft. The
basement is divided into three compart¬
ments by 'two longitudinal walls, in the
central one of which are located the
pumps, the ashes being handled from tht
compartments on either side. The coal
pocket has a capacity of 15.000 tons.
There are four chimneys, each 17 ft.
Inside diameter and 270 ft. high above
the basement floor. Three chimneys, which
are the largest of the kind in this coun¬
try, are built of "Custodis" brick, per-
forated with rectangular holes about 1 in.
square in the direction of the height of
â– the stack, thus making the cell walls
about 1 in. thick. These holes serve to
bond the bricks in the nature of tenon
joints by flushing the mortar Into them.
The four chimneys contain no less than
30,000 cubic feet of concrete and 204,000
cubic feet of brickwork.
A bridge 20 ft. wide and 12 ft. high
extends from the front of the boiler house
at an elevationof GO ft. above the street,
to a coal and ash tower, built at the
water's edge, in which Is located a coal
crane. The tower contains a line of ash
storage pockets extending along its length
for G5 ft., from which the ashes will be
dumped into barges by gravity, being
guided by aprons folding up against the
face of the tower when not in use.
C-oncrete in Mines.—At the collieries of
the John Cockerel] Co., Seraing, Belgium,
concrete has been extensively used instead
of brickwork for lining circular shafts,
lining drifts, air passages, etc. The con¬
crete used li'a's been made entirely from
bl'ast furnace slags, those from forge iron
broken to SO to 50 (mm. being used as bal¬
last, wMle the mortar is made of granu¬
lated slags, hydraulic lime in the propor¬
tion oi 5 to 1 by volume and slag cement.
Thes'e are incorporated in a mortar mill,
but no addition of water is necessary, as
tbe granulated slag contains enough. Slag
cement is made of about 75 per cent, of
granulated gray iron slags and 25 per cent,
of slacked lime.
