RIVER ABOVE THE RAILS.
The Unique Piece of Engineering
NccesSitated by a CALIFORNIA; land



NccesHitated by a California Land
slide.
Making a mountain stream run over
and above railroad track is unique
piece of engineering that the Southern
Pacific company is shortly to commence
near Wright's station, in the Santa
Cruz mountains. Last spring, says the
San Francisco Examiner, there was a
big landslide at the northern end of the
long tunnel near Wright's station which
caused blockade of the Southern Pa
citic Coast road for a number of weeks
and caved in about a hundred feet of
the tunnel The moving side of the
mountain as it came down the canon
filled up the bed of large mountain
stream to such an extent that it was
five or six feet higher than the track,
while before 1t was several feet lower.
The creek is dry in the summer but
during the rainy season, unless its
course Is diverted, the mountain tor
rent will sweep over The road SO as
to make it's operation at that point
impossible.
The officials first entertained the idea
of carting away large quantities of dirt
to lower the bed of the stream to its
old level. But that plan was aban-
doned because of the great expense 1t
would entail, and it was then decided
to extend the tunnel nOrthward 200
feet and past the point where the
stream crosses the track by an arch
of solid masonry. Plans for this stone
tunnel have been completed. The arch
will be twenty feet high and composed
of huge blocks of stone that will stand
the wear and tear of the weather for
years. On the inside it will have the
same width and heighth as the tun-
mel proper, and will be constructed in
such manner that the stream of water
flowing over it will not percolate
through. The top of the arch, when
finished, will be about fifteen feet
above the present bed of the stream,
SO the latter viii have to be raised
up to it's level. This will necessitate
filling in for distance of several hum
dred feet AS the stream flows over the
top of the stone arch 1t will have fall
of nC. less than twenty feet on the
other side of the track. 1t will be a
precipitous fall, and during the winter
time, when the volume of water is
large, will make very pretty water
fall. The officials are inclined to think
it will be the largest artificial water
fall in the world.

enabled TO trace out step by step, from
island to island and port to port, tho
coute followed by the steamer.
Permit me, Mrs Allaire," said Will
tis, Ito draw your attention to this
point. The Dreadnaught was seen for
she last time off the southerly end of
Celebes island on May 3. 1875, that is
about seven weeks after leaving San
Diego. Since then we have had no
tidings of her. Therefore, as she never
reached Singapore, we are forced to the
conclusion that she was lost in the Java
sea. How? There are two theories:
The first is that she went down in a
gale or after a collision, leaving no
trace of her existence; the second Ia
that she went ashore on the reefs and
was completely destroyed by the pirates
20 cover up their crime. And yet, in
either of these last two cases IL Is inn
possible that there should not have
been some debris, some flotsam, some
bit of scrap of her cargo TO survive her;
but In spite of our efforts we have not
oeen able to find any actual proof of
her destruction"
Hence Capt. Willis inclined 20 the
opinion that the Dreadnaught had been
struck and destroyed by one of those
tornadoes so often let loose in irresist-
ible fury upon those waters, for, as re-
cards the theory of collision. IL was

with success, and even the receipt OF
The letter announcing the search about
to be made among the Moluccas did not

The moment she learned that Capt
Willis had arrived, she proceeded on
board accompanied by Mr.. Hollister.
A glance at Willis face told her that
the concluding portion of the search
among the Molucoas had not been pro-
sluctive OF any results Having given
n cordial grasp OF the hand TO the cap
lain, she advanced toward the crew
which stood respectfully awaiting her
appearance on deck.

You, my friends Your devotion touches

expect. You have not been successful
and perhaps you despair of ever being
so; but do not. No. feel confident
that shall yet see Capt. Allaire and
his companions My trust is in God
He viii not let il come TO naught."
There was n wonderful tone of as
srrance in these words They bespoke
an extraordinary energy; they expressed
SO eloquently the firm conviction Of the
speaker that her husband would yet be
found that their effect was startling;
and yet, while every person present
listened with respect bordering upon
veneration to this rare woman. he could
none the less bring himself to think
that her souls yearning would ever be
xatisfed.
And yet perhaps her audience would
have done better to throw itself with
firm reliance upon that instructive
knowledge with which nature often en-
dows woman. While man is unable or
at least unwilling to form deductions un-
til he has first subjected facts to actual
and logical examination, woman, thanks
10 her powers of intuition, is often en-
abled to make astonishing forecasts of
the future IL is some kindly instinct
which acts as her guide and imparts un-
TO her prophetic lore. Who could say
that the captains wife would not some
day be right and all the world wrong?
She and Andrew Hollister were now
conducted to the cabin of the Molly's
Hope, where Capt. Willis gave them a
detailed account Of the expedition.
