surveys Of that great submerged basin,
with its rich muck soil, its swamps. ISL
ands and streams, have been made during
the past twenty years, so that the region
is no longer unknown. Fishermen, trap
pors and hunters have traversed the
''glades' in every direction and have re-
ported that, while they consist in the
main of a vast mOrass of saw grass,
tropical trees and underground they are
accessible. All are agreed as t. the
wonderful fertility of the soil where it is
not submerged and as to it's capacity for
yielding great crops of sugar cane, rice
and other products.
The prospects are now that from land
of desoiation and waste the great swamp
region of Florida known as the Ever
glades is to be changed into a veritable
garden spot, for work is already in pro-
grcSs whereby the transformation Is to
! be effected The scheme is of gigantic
proportion, for it is the intention of its
p1 omcters to reclaim nearly or quite
million acres of the most fertile land to
lie found in this country which is now
covered with water and rank tropical
srowths Of wild plants, at present inhab-
tied only by alligators, snakes and mud
turtles, and make it both haDitable and
cultivable. By opening canals and drain
ing the great basin it is expected that
nearly 1000 square miles of rich land
will be added to the area of Florida, and
at the same time the State will be rid
of one of it's greatest drawbacks.
While this enterprise is by no means
new one, the advances made in eng
! rcering science during the past quarter
of a century have made the problem more
feasible than it was few years ago,
and the work can be done, it is said, at
minimum cost for so vast an undertake
| ing. Operations have already been ,,e-
gun, and on the land reclaimed at the
north side of the great basin quite a
large tract has been cleared, upon which
profitable crops of sugar cane, vegetables
Of all kinds, rice and corn have been pro-
duced without fertilizing the soil or pay
| ing much attention to the cultivation.

rope. While the claim that the United
States has the fastest long distance pas
senger trains in the world is substan-
tiated by these figures, it is also shown
that for shorter runs France and Eng
land have faster trains than America.
The figures show that the Empire State
express from New York to Buffalo runs
the 40 miles at the average rate of 53
miles and a fraction an hour. The new
twenty hour trains between Chicago and
New York run at the rate of 40 to ~
miles an hour.
The Europeans claim to have accom-
plished something in getting up speed
is based on the performance of the Sud
express, which makes the 1876 miles be-
tween Paris and Bayonne at the rate of
Sc miles an hour, and on the work of
the East Coast express, which runs o93
miles, from London to Edinburgh, at the
rate of SOFT miles an hour, while the
West Coast express runs from London
to Glasgow, 4O1 miles, at the rate of
5O.1S miles an hour.

TRAINS CLIP RECORD
CHICAGO NEW YORK SERVICE
BEATS THE WORLD.
New Twenty Hour Specials Reach Des.
tinations with Time to Spare-Lake
Shore New York Central Trains
Make Flying Speed.

That the United States can operate the
fastest long-distance passenger railway
trains in the world was shown the other
day when the twenty-hour trains be-
tween New York and Chicago on the
Lake Shore-New York Central rail
roads rolled into the terminal stations
at New York and Chicago, three to four
minutes ahead of time in each case. At
the schedule time of twenty hours the
Lake Shore trains will make every day
an average speed of 40 miles an hour
This average speed is surpassed by some
foreign trains, but their runs are only
about half the $50 miles by the New
York Central and the Lake Shore
The trip from New York was the means
of showing what modern motive power
as applied to railroad trains can accom-
plish. The twentieth Century Linn
ited' on the Lake Shore-New York Cen
trail line kept up the run westward to
Buffalo without hindrance, the train ar
irving there and starting over the long
stretch along the shores of the lakes
as had been outlined. The even pace
was kept up in the main until near New
Carlisle, when a freight train got in the
way and caused the loss of thirteen
minutes.
Long before the run into Chicago had
been completed, however, this lost time
had been made up, and when the engine
came to a standstill under the shed at
the Grand Central station it was two
minutes ahead of time.
Railroad men have complied some in
teresting statistics as to the relative
speed Of trains in America and in Eu-

hundred souls. To-day it's residents num-
Der 5000. Then a modest country home
rose from the rolling prairie here and
there. To-day a thousand houses are TAX
ing form under hammer and saw. Chief
among them is the luxurious mansion
that will be Dowie's home.
In the center of the new religious me-
tropolis will rise one day magnificent
marble temple. Every avenue in Zion
City, every sweeping boulevard, will lead
to the temple. From this structure, pro-
jected to seat 10000, Dowie will expound
his doctrine. Zion City will be Dowie's
capital until his followers outgrow 1t.
Ultimately he hopes to build worlds
capital for his church near Jerusalem.
There, if his dreams of religious conquest
be fulfilled, he or his successor will rule
all the earth.
The church is not the only agency
Dowie will use in the advancement of
his power. Religion and education will
go hand in hand in the upbuilding of the
kingdom. He has also laid the founda-
ton of a political organization-the theo-
cratic party-with which he plans to over
throw existing parties.

auence has not been told. BE it person.
al magnetism or religious fervor, or in
finite audacity, or what you will, the fact
remains that he is enlisting recruits In
his cause by thousands. He has been
assaulted in print as a grasping lover of
pelf because he exacted the biblical tithe
from the fruits of his followers toll. He
has been denounced from the pulpit as al
blasphemous fraud because he claims to
be the chosen prophet of God. He has
been held up to scorn by the medical pro-
fession because. he puts his ban on the
use Of drugs and DEGREES that the secular
art of healing is sacrilegious and vain.
The strongest proof of the marvellous
influence of the man is found in the ma
terial Zion City, now being built. EN-
braced in the town are $500 acres Of the
finest land in the State. To this Mecca
of Dowiesm pilgrims are flocking. From
Arkansas and all the West they are COM
ing, overland and by train. New Eng
land is sending newcomers every day.
Dixie is pouring recruits into the fold.
The immigration of the faithful began
early last fall. It continued unbroken
throughout the winter. Out in the woods,
on Lake Michigan's shore in white tents,
with the mercury below zero and With
eringly cold winds blowing in from the
lake, scores of families waited for the
coming of spring. And to-day LOCO
buildings are under construction.
