To ADD 85 BLoGks T0 Oity _-___ High-powered Pumps Wash Dirt Down Through Flumes to the Sea-« _ Mountain Now Disappearing Has Interesting History. _- . New York -Rio do Janerlo is to have a new suburb and to make room for it 7,000,000 cuble yards of dirt are to be catapulted Into the sea. Modern { sclence has once more made land where there was open sea; sliced off a rocieribbed, rock-girded hill that a city may have better ventilation and sanitation, Since 1607, according to the Literary Digest, the remains of the founder of Rio do Janeiro, Estaclo de Ba, have rested on this hill, so that it is regarded by the devout as nothing short of- vandalism, But despite the opposition of the church, a combined counsel of medical and housing ex perts bas prevailed, and In less than 18 months 06 blocks of good business property and a 20-block public park will stretch along the new sen wall,\ built to keep this most recent sub- urb from Into the ocean. Says the New York Times in an article on the subject? \Although this addition to Rie de Janeiro is often called a muburb, it Should be designated an at- nex, for it Mes not far from the cen ter of the city and close to Vermelha beach, where the exposition is being held. To continue the work on the new fill4n, begun in the early part of this year, big pumps which carry off the dirt will have to operate over the tops of some of the exposition build- Ings. Work of Eight Years to Take Two. *For protection against fire it has been proposed to make connections with the discharge lines at convenient points, According to engineers any building could be flooded in ten min- utes. In this way the machinery which is throwing sea water against the dirt and rock on the Mifitop, washing It down through flames to the sea, will serve a purpesa, \Years ago the werk of removing this hill was started by native con- tractors who used mule-drawn carts to carry the dirt and stone to the men wall In estimating the cost of this work It was found that It would be something like 75 cents a cuble yard and would taken eight years. With the high-powered pumps now installed It will not cost more than 25 cents a cuble yard and will take less than two years. \The material to be moved Is 15 per cent rock and 85 per cent dirt. The rock will be removed by steam shovels and the dirt by three pumps. One of these pumps will tike care of four hydraulic glants, each with a 8%-Inch stream at the nozzle. Twelve of these giants will shoot the 'earth from the top of the fill to the fill-in. A sea wall threemiles long and about half a mile wide has been constructed to receive the debris. \Tlose to the new land being made glong the water front will stand the ermanent United States embnsay ullding now under construction byA Kew York firm.\ Became One of the Stones, The mountain now disappearing has an interesting history, we are told. The writer says of It: \In the year 15506 a Frenchman mv rived with a band of Huguenots in the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, and here in this landlocked bay the first Prot- estant service in the Americas was said to have been held by these wandering sailors. To expel these Frenchmen, the Portuguese governor at Bahia sent his nephew, Estaclo de Sa, to found a settlement on Guana» bora bay, In 1567 Sa was killed by the French. The little village he founded was then moved to the top of the hill where the Church Bao-Sebsstiao was begun In the year of Estaclo de Ba's death. Here it has stood el through the years, and here has rested the remains of Estacio, \Now the old church must come Gown to make room for the growing city.

AT LEAST GUILTY OF LYyiNa Truly Clergyman Had Refrained From Blasphemy, but He Had Sinned In Another Direction, A clergyman who years ago settled In Massachusetts once reproved a workman for swearing while he was plowing a new field. \Bwear!\ said the man. \I guess you'd swear!\ Whereupon the preacher took the plow and hurried after it, indignantly Genying the charge. Then, as' the field became more impassable, he be gan panting: \I never saw the like!

'The life of the personnel of the maval radlo-compass stations is often slow and monotonous, but during July the radio men at Folly island, NZY, led a strenuous life. Due to their own prowess they were provided with fresh meat for a week, according to a report received by the Navy depart- ment. A number of men stationed on this island, about eight miles off North Caroling, indulged in a rare sport of landing a 410-pound turtle, which con- tained over 810 eggs.
