MARVELLOUS MOUNTAIN ROAD.
Trains Climb an Elevation of Four
Thousand Feet.

Thousand Feet.
From the Denver Republican.
The new Alamogordo and Sacramento
Mountain Railway, which has just been
completed from the new town of Alamo
gordo. N. NJ, to the timber belt on the
summit of the Sacramento mountains, a
distance cf twenty-one miles. is probably
one of the most remarkable railroads that
has ever been constructed. From Alamo
gordo. which is situated where the vast
plain of the Tularosa valley meets the
foot of the Sacramento mountains, its
course is nearly tangent TO the mouth of
the La Luz canyon, but from this point
to the terminus over g. per cent. of its
mileage is curvature and the difference in
elevation 800 feet Alamogordo being
4,300 and the terminus 5000 feet above sea
level.
Halfway up the mountain the country
takes such sudden drop off that Ii is i'm
possible to follow the course of the stream
or canyon, and the elevation is attained by
Zigzag courses over a rough. rocky couu-
try where thirty-degree curves are the
rule and the tangent rare exception. An
engineer who has been accustomed TO the
curvature in mountain climbing can appre-
ciate what this piece of road, fourteen and
a half miles in length, with GO per cent.
curvature, where thirty-degree curves and
SO per cent grades are allowable, really
means. The difference between Il and or
binary mountain climbing viii be under
stood by the on-professional when 1t is
explained that the windings usually seen
on mountain climbs are more than twice
as close. For instance, at one point on
the road three tracks parallel each other
"a At I
The railroad world will be interested to
learn of the practicability of such a road.
Some difficulty is experienced in trying
TO find suitable locomotives. Three have
already been tried, one of which is to-
tai failure, another a 'tnon-proven case, =
but the third has done all the construction
and never been off the rails Accordingly,
it has already been demonstrated that an
engine can be made that will operate such
a road. Ordinary passenger coaches and
box cars, if well up on their bears, pass
over the road without difficulty.
Two features are essential in the con-
struction of road of this kind-namely, a
rail bender and tie plates. The road is
designed for hauling logs from che timber
belt on top of the mountain to the large
saw mill erected at Alamogordo 1t must
not however, be considered in the light
of a lumber tramroad, but is first-class in
every respect; slXty-pound steel is used,
the roadbed is perfect and the curves as
true as if turned out of lathe. In fact,
it has as fine track as any railroad in
the country.
While designed almost entirely for lum-
Der or freight business, the superb seen
cry, magnificent climate and the grand
and beautiful mountains, with a tempera-
ture equally as cool as Palmer lake or
the Hayden divide. is going TO make of
this mountain country and Alamogordo a
resort and home for pleasure and health
seekers that will eventually afford a re-
source TO the road far greater than that
of its timber long before the same is ex-
hausted.

A BUDDHIST TEMPLE OPEN.
Completely Equipped Shrine in Uni
versity Museum.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 5.-The only
Buddhist temple in America and the best
equipped shrine of It's kind outside of
those countries protesting Buddhism as
their faith has been opened in the new
museum building at the University of
Pennsylvania.
No attempt has been made by Prof
Sommervile to reproduce the exterior of
Buddhist temple, but large room in
the museum has been fitted up with MAJ
teriais purchased during the last six
years of priests in charge of these temples
in Eastern lands. 1t has been installed at
the university that all may form an idea
of such a place of worship. while through
its completeness Mongohans and Budd-
hists generally will recognize a shrine
where they may perform their accustomed
acts of devotion.
As visitors pass through the vestibule
of the temple proper there bursts upon
them a scene of oriental spiendor, the
glare of searchlights bringing out glisten-
ing effects of the golden deities, richly en-
broidered panels and highly colored hang
lngs.
The most noticeable features after en-
tering the sammon, or outer gates, are the
three guardians protecting the gods with
threatening mien; the rinzo, or revolving
bookcase, containing the canons and doc
irines of the Buddhist faith, of which one

before entering the presence of the
Buddha; the prayer wheels, by the turn
ing of which supplications are supposed
to reach the deity the god Benzuru, who
cures all pains by the sufferer rubbing the
corresponding part of the deity; the
shrine, or holy OF HOLES, and the stand or
gong for securing the attention of the
gods

Lawyers Want to Practice.
An organization of the American attor-
neys in Cuba has been formed, with
James McLeary as president. He was
formerly attorney general of Texas, and
served as the first Mayor of Santiago aft
er the American occupation.
The attorneys claim that, having been
duly admitted to practice in the courts
of the United States, they are eligible TO
practice here at least so long as the
military administration is continued.
To this the Cuban lawyers interpose
strenuous objections, saying that many of
the Americans do not understand the Ian
guage the laws or the methods of prac-
nee, and can have no more right to follow
the legal profession here than doctors to
practice medicine until they shall have
passed the tests prescribed in Cuba. The
Cubans also suggest that many of the
Americans who seek clients here left their
country for their country's good.
The police are severely condemned by
the press for raiding low dives" while
/ overlooking the gambling that goes on at
all the wealthy clubs. The papers say
that Havana is branch of Monte Carlo.
