RAlGRoADING IN THE ALPS.
New Line which winds Among Big Glaciers.

A new mountain railway is being
Quilt in the Carinthian Alps from
Ielligen blut, the highest village in the
AUSTRIAN Alps, to the mountain house
IN the Grossglockner. The road,
shich is but four and a half miles
ong, has to ascend fully 272s feet
rom end to end. AS this height is
livided variously among the different
parts of the road, the grade varies
rom 40 feet per 1000 to 20 feet per
100. The motor system adopted for
he railroad is, therefore, a combined
toothrack and simple electric suface
railway. Wherever the grade allows
Of it, the cog wheel is not set to work,
and the transition from one system to
the other is made automatically.
The power used is generated by water.
There are no engineering difficulties
TO surmount. There are but two
bridges of stone masonary, and what
tunnels there are could be easily blast
ed out of the rock with the modern
implements. The material obtained
from tunnelng is being used in build
ing galleries Of stone masonary on
those slopes where stone falls and
avalanches are known to occur annu.
ally. The entire length of the tunnels
on this road will not exceed 52s feet.
The road to the Glockner House will
be ready for the opening of this season
about June I, and will probably re
main in operation until the middle Of
November For the coming year it
is proposed TO extend the line from
the Giockner House to the Alpine hut
OF Archduke John, which is situated
at height Of II,25o feet, on a peak
known as Adlersruhe Eagles Rest.
The road would lead to a point 400
feet below the hut. The ascension
to the terminus would have to be
made either through a shaft or over
stairs provided on the outside of the
cliff for the purpose. From the Arch
duke Johns hut to the peak of the
Grossglockner, which is 1850 feet
above the sea level, it will take tour
ist but an hour and half of climbing,
although the peak towers about 400
feet above that OF the Adlersruhe.
Alpine tourists are hailing with delight
the innovation which will enable them
even this year to make an ascension
of the Grossglockner inside of one day
and night, while heretofore it took
them at least two days and three
nights to perform this feat.

grant homesteads to small farmers Tor
their own and the country's benefit.
It was argued that free land detracted
from the independence of the home
stead owners because something was
given them for nothing. The copdi-
lions of their holding the land should
be made more onerous if this were
really the fact. Instead OF this being
the case the conditions imposed al
ready were too burdensome and have
prevented some from complying with
the regulations. Rep. Robertson re-
ferred to the petition from North HilO
asking for a reduction of appraise-
ment of a certain class of homesteads.
Minister Cooper SAID that the origi-
nal intention was not to provide for
such class of free homesteads.
Rep. Winston asked Minister Cooper
il the bill was not au afterthought on
the part of the Government, to which
was received an answer in the mega
tive.
Rep. Kamauoha thought there was
no hurry about voting on the report of
the committee. The Attorney Gen
eral, the introducer of the bill, was
not present. He should be given
chance to speak. Moved for post
ponement of consideration until Tues
day. Motion put to vote and tie the
result. The Speaker cast the deciding
vote in favor of the motion.
House adjourned at IL % a. m.

Rev. Romig's Great Sermon Last
Night-A Large Audience.

NSF' hOHllS > OTSdl Sermon LdS
Night-A Large Audience.
Rev. Romig opened his last
nights sermon on Following Our
Natural Inclinations" with a re.
cital of the story of Abraham and
Lot, their doings and dealings with
regard to settling with their focks
and herds, the gist of all being
that Lot pitched his tent toward
Sodom, i. e., he pitched it toward
sin. His inclination was to the
bad, and he went there and took
his posterity with him, eventually
bringing destruction upon them
selves from continued wickedness.
He gave the saloons and the
opium traffic due attention, and
the fashionable follies of worldly
Christians a general Ground up" in
terms that were not ambiguous.
His graphic portrayal of the cruel
fiction, toward the close of the SER
mon, was dramatic, and its recital
in such realistic terms brought the
tragedy of calvary wildly before
every listener and awakened a liv-
ing and intense interest in the sac
rifce of the Lamb of God among
the careless and thoughtless. The
meeting was fittingly closed with
solemn baptismal service.
