stupendous Undertaking,

The work which was commenced some
time ago by the Pennsylvania along its
main line in this state, and which will be
pushed toward completion, says, the Pitts
burg Post, as rapidly as the condition of
business will permit, is certainly one of the
most stupendous undertakings ever con-
ceived by any railroad company in this or
any other country. The cost which will
be incurred by changing the grades and
curves, building new tunnels and bridges,
and many miles of new roadbed will be
enormous, and by some engineers who are
competent to make calculations it has
been declared that in the western states
new roads SEQ or more miles in length have
been built al an expense less than that
which will be entailed on the Pennsylvania
by the improvements low under way, and
only temporarily delayed by the depreS
sion in business. In trying to give some
adequate descriptions of this gigantic work
of Improvement it must be understood
that the task is not confined to any one
locality or division, but extends to every
division all along the 355 miles of main
track between Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
And the changes that are now being made
are simply the development of ideas of i'm
a
management years ago, and which have
been enlarged in proportion to the surplus
earnings ard the wonderful increase in
traffic
As an illustration of the truth of the last
statement may be cited the fact that an
obseryant passenger can perceive at fire.
quent intervals the abandoned curves over
which the traffic passed for many years
and which were eliminated during the past
quarter of a century by the construction of
new lines which were cut across hills and
ridges >urmounting obstacles. which, when
the original survey was made, were con-
sidered impregnable barriers against
straight line East. of Pittsburg the first
work of magnitude is in the vicinity Of
Raden baugh and GreenSburg, where by
means of immense fills and a long double
track tunnel a series of short curves will
be eliminated. This work has been more
than half completed and In another six
months trains will be running over the
new line. The next important work is
just west of JohnStOwn, where a new
roadbed wide enough for {, u tracks skirts
the Conemaugh river and will, when
finished, have the same effect on the align
ment of the road that a strong tension has
on crooked piece of wire. Up along the
steep mountain grade, near Lilly, the most
wonderful Improvement is noticed. Here
an entire new line has been projected and
partly completed, which will be like a
straight tOboggan slide down from the
great heights ia the vicinity of CreSson to
the water gap level.

IL Was a Black Rear.

Lucretia Ritter, l9-year old girl, who
teaches school in the Elk Lake district
Sullivan county, had thrilling exper-
ience with 4 black bear on Monday. While
walking alone through the woods she
spied what she thought was yearling calf
in the path ahead of her. but the beast
proved to be a full grown black bear.
Bruin came toward her with mouth
open. Miss Ritter made tor crooked tree
close by and managed to climb to a fork
twelve feet above the ground. The bear
fell to eating the contents of her lunch
basket. while she screamed Justify for
help. Having devOured the lunch. the
bear demolished the artificial roses and
birds on the girls hat, which fell to the
ground during her climb. In her frantic
efforts to get higher Miss Ritter's clothing
became fast on a broken limb and she
could neither get up or down.
The bear made no effort TO climb the
tree but held the school marin prisoner
in the tree nearly three hours. or until
Farmer skunk came along and discovered
the girls plight. He was compelled to
crawl up into the tree and lift her down.
Once on the ground Miss Ritter tainted.

Among the latest great acquisitions
of the Rothschilds, according to re-.
port, is the famous Anaconda copper
and silver mine, the price paid being
stated as 3O,O0O,0 900. This purchase
is chiefly noteworthy as showing the
vast fortunes that spring out of the
ground, as it were, in these days. The
history of these mines is in itself a
romance. A few adventurers began to
sink shaft for silver, only to find an
almost endless wealth Of copper. Now
the claim for which S35, 900 was held
to be exorbitant twenty years ago has
Just been sold for $50, ,000,0 900. What
may not yet be the wealth of tie
Rothschilds when it is remembered
that this mine is said to be "only III
its lnfancy?'' 1t already produces one
fourth of the worlds copper output,
and It's profits last year were not far
from $4,0O0,000.
