tunnel. The work OF cutting tunnels f
such length in mountains above the
clouds, will be a great task in itself, and
these tunnels will in extent com pare
favorably with any in the world. The
famous Gothard tunnel is something
more than eight miles in length, but the
difficulties OF building it were nothing
in com parison to those to be overcome
in the Jung Frau road.
The tunnels will be lighted by elec-
tricty and abundantly ventilated. The
wild glacier stream of the Lauter Brun-
ner valley will be utilized to supply the
power for the dynamo. 1t is estimated
that the road will cost 81. 600 900, not a
great sum when the intricate magnitude
of the work is considered.
1t has long been the pet dream OF great
engineers to build a railroad up to the
Jung Frau, and many propositions with
that end in view were submitted to the
Swiss government. In 1890 the famous
engineer, 5. Simon. worked out plan,
but upon minute examination it was not
deemed practicable. Many other propo-
sitions met with the same fate from other
sources 1t was not until Guyer-Leller
came into the field with a plan that he
had spent years upon in completing,
thar the consent of the government was
secured. Guyer-Zeller had, with much
labor and risk gone over the entire route,

way OF such project. Il will rank with
the greatest OF engineering feats in the
history of the world. The kiel canal,
the Suez canal the Brooklyn bridge. are
mere playthings to this great undertake
ing. 1t will be the most marvellous in
its holiness and grandeur. and as a
world-wonder will be second to nothing
within the circumference of the earth.
Man has never conquered nature to such
a degree as Will be the case here.
Just imagine a railroad which starts in
the clouds a mile and a quarter above
the sea level, going through great
mountains, sairtng along narrow ledges,
crossing precipices thousands OF feet
deep, skimming the peak of a snow-clad
forest, plunging through the frozen air
and looking down upon great banks of
clouds, and all the time going up higher
and higher, until the Jung Frau has
been reached, 14.000 feet above the level
OF the sea. or almost three miles stragh t
up in the air. The top of a 300 foot
bullcing seems extrao rdi narily high to
most people, but looking down upon the
world from a height OF II, 600 feet is al
most too great for human realization.
The project OF making the peak of tn e
Jung Frau, the queen OF the Alps, access
ible to the vast army of tourists as well
as to the few daring Alpine elm bers, was
initiated on the 26th OF December last,

as a certain indication of the immediate
approach of the judgment day and the
end of the world. Consequently there
was great religious excitement among the
darkies, and by mony OF their preachers
protracted or revival meetings were held.
The incidents that occurred at some OF
these meetings beggal description. l re-

when the Natioanl Swiss congress voted
the concession for the construction OF the
road. The company which obtained the
concession entrusted the matte to the ia
nous engineer, Adolph Guyer-Xeller, of
Zurich. 1t is not expected that the
road will be in operation until the sum
mer OF 1880, as it is believed it will take
five years tos build.
According to the plans prepared. the
railroad will beign at Station Scneidegg,
which is $500 feet above the sea level. 1t

glacier at the foot of the famous Eiger
wall and here will begin the tunnel,
which will extend MOVING in a southerly
direction, to the Grindel wood. This
tunnel, bored through a solid mountain,
will be 5000 feet in length. or something
more than mile and n half.
The tunnel will come out on the Wal
User size OF the mountain, and from that
point it will extend in a westerly direc-
tion over the mountain to Eiger, dis
tance of ~, 000 feet. or nearly two miles.
From Eiger to Station Monch. more Than
half way to the Jung Frau, is another two
miles.

road is downward for a short distance for

height of 2U0 feet. On the peak will be

rigor OF mountain work and the elm attic
seventies of such great attitudes. The
cars will move slowly, taking two hours
for the trip of a trihe less than eight

the wonderful beauties of the journey and
for the additional reason of lesseniug the
chances of the trip proving injurious to
the health of tourists. A sudden change

itself to the climatic change and make
the trip a perfectly safe one for the aver
age tourist.
1t is curious to note that when the
project of building the roac to the Jung
Frau was first made it met with most
violent opposition. not because of its
engineering difficulties, but by reason of
sanitary obstacles. Professor Reynard OF
Paris and Professor Kornecker OF Berne
were consulted on the question, and after
mature deliberation agreed that healthy
people could safely undergo gradual
ascent to the jung Frau. Persons not
accustomed to mountain climates it
was agreed should not remain at the top
more than two or three hours.
The concession provides that q CORPS of
physicians shall always be on hand at the
starting point. station Scheidegg, to ex-
anime doubtful passengers to see il they
have heart or lung trouble, and if so to
prevent them from max ing the journey.
1t has also been agreed that the work
men employed on the construction of
the road shall be acclmated at the
various heights under the guidance of
physicians to prevent any injurious
effects.

A SANTA FE
OFFICIAL ONCE TOOK A VERY
PECULIAR RIDE

sSome years ago while Mr.. Z. Walsh l.,
the general baggage agent of the Santa
Fe system, was Ell route to California
with a party of friends. the train on
which they were passengers stopped one
night at a small station in Western Kansas
to take water. Mr.. Walsh took advantage
of the time the engine was quenching
her thirst to transact some business with
the agent, and went into the office for
that purpose. Before he had finished.
however the train started, and by the
time he reached the platform, the engine
went by him at rate OF speed that al
most deprived him OF his bieath. He
realized his situation in an instant. If
he waited for the first passenger coach
the train would have attained such ve-
locity as to render it lmpIacticable to
get on without incurring great danger OF
being hurled under the wheels, and as it
was imperative that he should reach his
destination at a certain time, his only
alternative was to jump on the car i'm
mediately behind the tender. which he
did, but which to his chagrin and morti-
fication he discovered was blind bag
gage car. Glancing down on the other
| side of the platform he dscerned the dim
outlines of two figures huddled close to-
gether. which upon closer inspection
proved to be two tramps who were steal
ing a ride.
The night was dark and bitter cold
and the wind percolated through his
clothing, sending the cold chills up and
down his back. The prospect of a
nights ride on the platform of a baggage
car, with the uncongenial companion
ship of two murderous looking tramps
was not an alluring one and as he con-
templated his unenv BILE predicament the
charmingly fascinating vision of luXu-
rous berth in the Pullman arose before
his eyes and impelled him to action to
release himself from his unfortunate sit
uaton-he decided to pull the bell cord.
AS his hand grasped the rope one OF the
tramps espied his action, and gave vent
to his disapproval in the following Ian
guage: Hey, der. You fool you, don t
pull dat cord or they'll stop the train and
put all tree OF us OFF, Mr.. Walsh was
not to be deferred by the admonitioh of
the tramp. however, and gave the cord
a vigorous pull. AS the train slackened
up the tramp turned toward him. and
with mingled emotions of anger and pity
exclaimed: Now, you see what you We
done. you bankety blank idiot. you"
In the meantime his friends, becoming
alarmed at his prolonged absence, caused
thorough search of the train to be
made. and, not finding him, came to the
conclusion that he had got left. When
he made his appearance, however, and
gave as an explanation of his absence
that he had been ahead giving some in
structions to the baggageman, the smiles
of incredulty which spread over their
countenances told him tnat they were
'on'' to him. The cigars were passed
around and hearty laugh ensued at Mr..
Wa lsh's expense.
