SCENIC RAILWAYS.


Tho Construction Of Mountain Roads In
N"rtn america.
John Harrison Means and John C.
Branner have written in collaboration
an admirable article on Great Noun
tain railways. It contains the fol-
lowing interesting facts about scenic
roads in this country. The Mount
Washington railroad, completed in
1869 was the first of it's kind con-
structed in America and perhaps the
first in the world. II has a maximum
gradient of 374 per cent. and an aver
age Of about IS per cent
The Pixies Peak railroad was COM
pleted in 1890. It is So miles long
and is very crooked. Its maximum
is % per cent, its minimum 7 clio per
cent. and its average is 10 3-i0 per
cent 1t starts at Manitou, at an ele-
walton of 5000 feet, and at the summit
of the mountain reaches an elevation
OF 1920 feet above the sea level
The Mount Lowe railrond in Los
Angeles county, Cal. topened July 4,
1888, has maximum of 80 per cent. in
the upper 1000 feet of track and ~
per cent. in the lower 2i5 miles and
reaches an elevation of about 3, 500 feet
above sea level Its lower part is
operated by electricity; the upper 5000
feet IS run by cable which is operat-
ed by electricity. The two cars are
made permanently fast to an endless
cable, which passes over drum at the

QUEER VERSION OF THE FLOOD
Indian Tradition Which Is Characteristic
of Their Imagination.


Here is an Indian version of the story
of the food, as it was taken by a writer
connected with an Australian journal.
Says he: "All of the northern coast In
dians have Il tradition of a flood which
destroyed all mankind except pair,
from which the earth was peopled.
Each tribe gives the story local col
oring, but the plot Of the story is much
the same The Bella Coda tradition
is follows: The Creator of the uni
verse, Mcs-mes-sa-la-nill. had great diff
hculty in the arrangement of the land
and water. The earth persisted in
sinking out of sight. At last he hit
upon plan which worked very well.
Taking long line of twisted walrus
hide, he tied it around the dry land
and fastened the other end to the cor
ner Of the moon Everything worked
well for a long time; but at last the
spirit became very much offended at
the action Of mankind, and in fit of
anger one day seized his great stone
knife, and with a mighty hack severed
the rope of twisted skin. Immedi-
ately the land began to sink into the
sea. The angry waves rushed in tor
rents up the valleys, and in a short
time nothing was visible except the
peak of very high mountain All
mankind persisted in the whelming wa
tiers, with the exception of two, a man
and his wife, who were out fishing in n
great canoe. These two succeeded in
reaching the top of the mountain, and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
Here they remained for some time, I'M
til the anger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nil1 had
cooled, which resulted in his fishing up
the severed thong and again fastening
1t to the moon. From this pair thus
saved the earth was again populated
