Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Wonders of the World, Vol. 2 The business districts of New York cover the southern end of Manhattan Island, where land fetches enormous prices. A corner plot at the junction of Broadway and Wall Street sold for 120 a square foot - the highest price ever paid for a building Site. The triangular site on which rises the famous flat-iron Build ing cost half a million pounds sterling. N o wonder, then, that in New York engineers and architects have turned their attention very seriously to the problem Of Securing more ample 0 cc accommodation by increasing the height of buildings. With brick and stone the limit had been reached at from twelve to fourteen stories, as the necessary thickness of the walls at the foundations diminished the floor space to a serious extent. Architects therefore took advantage of the fact that mild steel is at least two hundred times stronger than brickwork in compression, and infinitely stronger in tension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Wonders of the World, Vol. 3: With 424 Illustrations, Maps, and Diagrams Though veritable engineering wonders, the airship and the flying machine are still in their infancy, so young that we cannot yet see clearly what form they are likely to take as they develop. Will the final victory rest with the dirigible balloon or with the heavier than-air self-lifting and self-supporting machine? Or will there be uses found for both types of air craft? It is impossible to say. The attitude which scouts the idea of aviation becoming more than a sport for the wealthy few seems hardly worthy of serious consideration. The advantages Of being able to travel through the air, upborne by a medium which requires not a farthing's-worth of expenditure in repairs, and which is practically illimitable, are too Obvious to need setting forth. The motor car has come into general use largely because Of its capacity to save time in cross-country journeys, through districts not served by the railway. But even the car has to keep to the beamn track; to cross a river at one or other of a few points - Often many miles apart - at which bridges have been built to traverse mountain ranges where the engineers have made the roads. Long detours are, in many circum stances, unavoidable. The aeroplane and dirigible know no such limitations. Given the capacity to keep moving in the direction desired, there will be nothing to hinder them getting from any one place to any other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Wonders: Or Pictorial Miscellany Crystal Palaces are among the marvels of this marvellous age. They are grander than the palace which the Genius of the Wonder ful Lamp is said to have erected for that hero of eastern story, named Aladdin. The grandfathers and grandmothers of the beys and girls who now live, never dreamed of such things. If they should rise from their graves, and be led into the Crystal Palace at New York, they would rub their eyes and look wildly about. Like old Rip Van Winkle, after his long nap in Sleepy Hollow, they would be strangely puzzled; and I am inclined to think they would fancy themselves in fairy-land, or dream-land, or some other strange and mysterious country. But however it would be with them, one thing is certain. The boys and girls of our times do live in the era of crystal palaces; and they want to know something about them, and Particularly do they want to know about the one which is now open in the city of New York, a picture of which we have selected as our frontispiece.
