A Miniature Railroad system
From Harper's Round Table.

AOAAA AAdl per y ldDle.
One of the most interesting models per
haps ever made, in a popular way, has
been prepared by an English clergyman
the Rev. H. L. Warneford, of Windsor.
England. DR.. Warneford has a small
yard in the rear of his house, surrounded
by an ordinary brick wall. Along the
rear end of the garden he has built n
railroad from wall to wall, in that dis
lance overcoming the Inconvenience of
the ground which usually REQUIRE the me-
chanical ability of railroad builders. The
road runs from a little station called
Chicago at one end to a small station
at the other end known as Jericho. 1t is
complete in every detail and as thoroughlv
so as If 1t were one of the great lines
that run across England The two sta
tons even have advertisements pasted
over them, as any ordinary station does:
and the terminal facilities though thew
are small and rather simple, are in their
way as complete as in any full-size rail
road.
The track is over 80 feet in length. with
gauge OF 29s inches; and in order that he
might get 1t in these 50 feet all the different
forms of railway construction, DR.. Warne-
ford has made the track so that il runs
over some of the uneven spots in his ward
and IN this way, in the place Where
bridges are required, he has constructed
that form of bridge which would natu-
rally be best suited for the particular form
of ravine or cavity over which the road
is to run. One of the prettiest of these
bridges is thoroughly constructed can
talever bridge, on the form of the great
Forth Bridge between Scotland and Eng
land which passes over little excaya-
ton Immediately after the train has coma
out of long. thoroughly constructed tun-
mel. Another bridge is a perfectly con-
structed skew arch, which the train cross
es few feet after leaving Chicago. Then
comes the model of an American trestle
and after passing over this the road runs
through the tunnel, over the cantalever
bridge, through cutting, and finally over
steel tubular bridge into Jericho.

1T HAS THE TwENTY-sIx FEET.
The Channel Now Has the Desired
Depth From the CITY TO the Sen.

DtPth FROM the NiJy 10 the Sea.
The channel of the Savannah river now
has depth of nineteen feet at mean low
water all the way from the city TO the
sea. This means a depth of twenty-six
feet at mean high water, or the result
that was sought to be accomplished when
the work on the channel was begun.
This was practically completed by the
work of the steam suction dredge Gedney,
which has just returned to New York,
from where she was brought under lease
from the government by y. Sanford Bros.
for the purpose of finishing the channel
across Tybee knoll.
The attainment of the depth sought now
leaves only the finishing work on the
channel to be done The channel is no
where less than twenty-six feet at mean
high water and for most of the distance
1t is considerably deeper than that. 1t
is about 200 feet wide in the narrowes,
parts, and the work still remaining 10
be done is to dress it up, and give il
more width in certain places.
While width of 200 feet is sufficient to
accommodate any vessel il is desired 10
give ample room, and for this reason the
width in some places will be considerably
increased. The channel is in good condf-
ton and should be given due credit for
the full depth on all the charts.
