MANY PROJECTS UNDER WAY

The fares OF all the foreign trolley road
are much cheaper than in any of the
cities here. In Halle, for instance. the
passenger pays the equivalent of two and
q half cents for four rides. This is but a
fraction over half a cent for each fare.
Yet the trolley roads all pay handsome
profits. OF course labor is much cheaper
there than here, but the ifference does
not compensate for the greatly reduced
rate as compared with the average ra tes
charged in this country. In Budapest a
trolley road has been in operation some
time with an underground contact. 1t is
more costly than the overhead system
but has been successful since the first-so
successful that in many of the larger
cities on the continent projects are now
under way for building similar roads.
Berlin expects to have two com plete
underground trolley roads in the near
future, which will be a huge improve
ment over the Budapest system. If the
Berlin engineers solve this problem it
will be more than the experts in the en-
ploy of the City of New York have been
able to do after five years OF figuring, ex-
perimeEting and spending of tens of
thOusanQS OF dollars.
OF course, the great obstacle in an un.
deItaking of this kind is the vast amount
OF tunneling which must be done In
New York il has been figured that the
work will cost about 81 600, 600 a mile fof
the excavation. In Berlin, an engin-
eer named Mackensen, who is also the
royal railroad director OF Germany, has
devised system by which, it is claimed,
the necessary tunneling can be done at
such low cost figure that the total cost
per mile OF constructing the underground
road will be but $40, ,000.
Only rougn details Of this system have
as yet reached the public The principal
feature OF it is an iron tube 1917 feet high
and 9 feet wide and feet in depth. 1t
is claimed that with the aiu of machinery
these tubes can be pushed INTO place, the
excavatlng going on at the same time.
1t IS like wise claimed that they can be
made high and wide enough to permlt of
the passage of the regulation steam loco

While the trolley roads of Europe are
away behind those or the United States

be mild constraint, the Stranger accepted
the proffered hospitality. 1t was to them
holy delight to have the one who had so
thrilled their souls come as guest under
their roof, even if it were in a public house.
But will he eat with them? To eat to-

concede to them this coveted favor? Yes;
and behold, when they together recline at
the table, he even takes the place of Master
