nicely finished. The laborers were all
sent away, che debris was all cleaned up
and disposed of and the trains had re-

day. when the operator sent a telegram

MONSTER SYNDICATE.

William c.. Whitney, whose extreme
fondness for horses led him to build a
race track on the grounds of his country
place at Roslyn, LII, is a recent convert
to the automobile craze. Up to two
months ago he had so little regard for
mechanically propelled vehicles that he
had never ridden in one of them. On the
other hand. Harry Payne Whitney, his
son, has been enthusiastic over electric
carriages ever since their first appear
ance. He owned one of the smartest au-
tomobiles in Newport two years ago, and
has had seeral since then.
Mr.. w. C. Whitney describes his con-
version as follows:
II came up to the city one day about
two months ago, and was met by my son
with an electric carriage. There was a
regular tangle of trucks, wagons and
horse cars abou the ferry entrance, and
I was amazed at the ease with which the
automobile moved in and out among
them, and made it's way through the
crowded street. The ease with which it
was guided and it's speed was checked
and the small space that it occupied con-

A Try NNEL R

Los Angeles (Cal.) Cor. Chicago Rec
ord: One of the most exciting stories I
have heard out here is about the fire In
Johnson's tunnel, down on the Santa Fe
line, where it pierces Bill Williams's
Mountain. Bill Williams was an old
timer, one of the first settlers of Arizona,
and a great man in his way. A monu-
ment had been erected to his m on
the side Of the mountain that bears his
name. He discovered the best pass over
the Rockies in this zone, and the results
of his enterprise and intelligence are
! seen in every direction. There is a Bill
Williams river, as well as a Bill Williams
mountain and q Bill Williams town.
Johnson was one of the engineers who
laid out the original right of way for the
Atlantic and Pacific railway, which is
now the Santa Fe, and in running a line
through the Bill Williams canyo he
struck a place where the mountain pro-
jected over it So that it could not be cut
away, and it was impossible to build a
bridge. So Johnson bored a tunnel 1926
feet long through the solid granite, and
built it up inside with imbers covered
with sheet iron. 1t happened to be. how
ever, a limestone formation, and the
lilnewater that trickled down from the
rocks ate away the iron sheeting in spots.
The matter was reported several times at
headquarters, and the superintendent at
NiOuiuSii SCHl up IL " u
new lining, which was extra galvanized.
so as to be rust proof. 1t happened h a
at just about that time there was a ire
mendous lot of traffic. and the Santa Fee
company had to borrow several engines
to help haul its freight. The extra en-
gines burned soft coal and coughed up
lots of sparks, one of which managed to
creep through a hole that the limewater
had eaten in the lining of the TUNE and
set the wood that was under it on fire.
1t must have been smoldering a week
or two before it was discovered. The en-
gineers reported that there was a good
deal Of smoke in the tunnel, u it was
not considered a matter Of any import
ance until the iron sheeting got so hot
that it could be noticed by the people in
the trains that ran through. Then an
examination was made, and at the re-
quest of the section boss they hauled up
a lot of water in tanks, from the nearest
supply point, which was IL miles away.
But when this water was thrown on it
Stacked the lime and made the fire worse
, than ever. All traffic was stopped for a
week on the whole length of the road,
| and the superintendent and all the other
big men of the road were up there to fix
things.
AS On. the tunnel was cool enough
they sent in every mar who could be
hired to work there. They tore out all
the old lining and replaced it with new
wood planking and galvanized sheets of

cation, 6G feet below the street level, is a
PED OF concrete, 20 feet thick. Above this
IS a lake seven feet deep, and above that
thick plates of iron, specially manufac-
tured to resist both skill and force. ANY,
one attempting an entrance from above
would find a similar bed of concrete. a.
similar lake, and similar plates of iron.
The walls are impenetrable, while the

each, and are made absolutely undrillable.

CHEMICAL TRICK.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: zone
occasionally reads about black roses"
said a New Orleans florist, u 1 am cer-
ain the accounts are greatly exaggerated
and the actual color of such horticultural
freaks is probably a deep purplish red.
Nevertheless, I once saw a perfectly
black rose myself, and it astonished me
greatly, until l learned by accident later
on that it had been treated chemically.
The plant was IN a private greenhouse Of
an eccentric old bctanist, who lived near
Richmond, Va. He was very fond of pro-
ducing all sorts Of vegetable monstrosi-
ties by grating and ~hybridizing, and
every now and then he would exhibit
some unheard of flower or fruit to his
puzzled friends. Some seven or eight
years ago I happened to be in the vicin-
ity of his place, and heard of a marvellous
black rose, which the old man was said
to have grown by al elaborate system of
fertilizing. I got a friend to take me over
and after some little urging the botanist
led us into a rear room and showed us a
potted rose tree. about three feet high,
with several full-hlown jet black blooms
and an equal number Of partly developed
buds. I confess that I was staggered, but
I suspected a trick and examined the
plant with great care. 1t seemed to be
perfectly healthy. and I could discover
no evidences of dyeing. The petals We're
rich and glossy, like velvet, and the sta
