and after passing through two tunnels
piercing the Esel peak, it will eventually
climb a sharp gradient of 45 dogs. to
the plateau of the Hotel Bellevue-nearly
1000 feet above the sea. The railway
passes over viaduct across the Wolfort-
bach, and through three small and two
large tunnels. Toafford additional security
there are two center lines for cog wheels,
instead of only one, like most of the
various other mountain routes. The lines
are solidly laid on granite bed, and pro-
tected on either side to prevent injury
from snow, etc. AS on most other noun.
tain railways, the engine will do its chief
work when ascending, and merely check
the descent. Each car will contain thirty
two passengers, and one hour and half
will be consumed in the journey up the
mountain. The engines have proved
their speed hitherto by dragging up the
material required for the railway, and
have answered we'll About two-t thirds
of the line was constructed last spring,
when the most arduous part of the task
began-piercing the two tunnels through
the solid granite masses of the Esel peak
The railway will not be ready for business
before next summer.

she had always lived in plenty and happi-
ness among the Indians. She was cap.
tured in ITO near Wilkesbarrc, Pa, and
died in 1917 at an advanced age.
In 1910 the Miamis relinquished their
title to their remaining lands in Indiana,
except the tracts reserved for such as
chose to become citizens, and the organ
lied tribe went to Kansas, and then to
the Indian territory. So many remained,
however, that as late as 1860 one might
see on any public day in Peru many
groups of people with Indian features,
and even now an Indian face thero does
not excite the surprise it would else
where. Gabriel Godfrey, lineal descend
ant of one of the greatest Miami chiefs,
still lives on his fine farm at the junction
of tho Wabash and Mississinewa in an ele-
giant brick residence-an Indian in face
but an Indiana man, farmer and Christian
in his general style.

A GEOLOGICAL JOKE.
How Some Learned Gentlemen Were
Taken In by Dame Nature.
Especial Correspondence

tSpecla correspondence
CINCINNATI, o., Oct, 24.-In the western
part Of the glorious state of Indiana, about
twenty five miles north of the handsome
city of Terre Haute, the broad and fertile
plateau drops rather suddenly to the level
of the Wabash the descent being some
two hundred feet in two or three miles,
The natural result is that the affluent
streams flow rapidly over rocky and gray
ely bottoms and have cut deep hollows
which, lined as they are by romantic cliffs
and overhung by magnificent timber, are
the delight of the natives whereabouts.
These natives it may be added, are as
proud of their region as any people in
America.
Well, one of these small streams has in
its banks stratum of that peculiar limy
clay, of blush white color, which
housewives i'll the early day used for
whitewashing; and when in 1850 turn
| pike was constructed down this hollow,
masses of this tough clay of all sizes were
thrown into the bitches by the roadside.
With each rain and local flood they rolled
down stream till they became perfect
globes, taking up on their way coating
of fine white sand. Finally the bed of the
stream was changed by other improve
ments, and many of these globes were
| left high and dry on a sand bar. The
union of limy mud and white sand hap
pened to be just the thing, and so in a
few years these smooth spheres were as
solid as Portland cement.
| When the war ended Indiana took q
great squirt of enterprise, and all the
counties rich in coal were thoroughly sur
veyed, and in the work the biologists fell
upon these wonderful globes. Every fell
low had his say. The shortest time pos
sible in which they could have been
formed was million years. Their yellow
ish gray and white surface showed them
TO be from that great mountain of archaean
rock that once extended north from Lake
Superior, And. finally. their globular form
proved so many centuries of rolling, and
as they We're on top of the crinoids and
other drift from upper Indiana, why it
follows, of course, don't you see. etc, etc.
Finally, some Of them were sent to an
amateur in not far distant city, who
analysed, philosophical and theorized thus
lpropounded: "Archaean or brecciated-
lRmong the oldest rocks on the globe-ac-
Icording to Dana, formed 10000 600, 900
years ago-brought by glacial drift
globular by attrition in running water"
And so they We're labeled.
And then plain farmer-not an old one
either-who lad seen the things take
shape since he was boy. cruelty went
and gave the whole snap dead away.

UP MOUNT PlLATUS.
Railway That Climbs World Famous
Mountain.
HENRY ALLISON.

a Hallway That Climbs World Famous
Mountain.
GENEVA, Switzerland, Oct. EVERY
traveller in Switzerland has heard the
gloomy legend that Pontius PLATE,
the Roman ruler under whom Christ suf-
fered, spent his last years in the recesses
Of the mountain by placid Lake Lucerne,
now called Mount Pilatus, and drowned
himself in the lake on it's summit. Tho
legend, which is told by the simple
mountaineers in an awed whisper and an
air of profound belief, goes on to say that
q spectral form is sometimes seen emerg-
ing from the waters and going through
the motion of washing it's hands.
This Mount Pilatus is as familiar q
feature to continental visitors as St.
Peters ut Rome. 1t is so steep and sheer
in It's ascent that hitherto only mountain
climbers have been able to scale the peak,
but now, owing to the railway being con-
structed, the view from the summit of
Pilatus promises to become as well known
as the magnificent prospect from the top of
Mount Washington in the United States
The railway starts from the shore Of
Lake Lucerne at Alpnach- Stad and creeps
up the southeastern slope of the mountain,
through rocky tracks and shady beech
woods, to its first hating place on the
Aemsigen Alp. Thence the lins turns
more to the north along the Mattalp,
