Wonderful Feat in Engineering.

'-'Thc greatest engineering feat ever accom- plished in this country" said a New York man the other day. will be the construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel under New York City, It will extend from a point north and west or Jersey City straight under under Fast River to Long Island City. The length estimated at fourteen miles, and the cost at S57. 900 ooo Added weight is given the run1or that 1t has been definitely decided to construct the tunnel by the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad has bought big piece of land Thirty-second Street. between Sixth and Ninth Avenues, where it is proposed to build the New York depot This, of course. will have to be underground. 1t would be impossible to bring the tracks to the surface at that point and sink them again. While the tunnel will be a great expense to the Pennsyl- vania. l cannot why 1t will not pay out rapidly. for the road is certainly handicapped now by having to reach New York by ferry

necessary noises Of civilization are
disturbing enough. But Il would be
obviously unfair II every man afnicted

GERS OF the Nebraska conference Ep-
worth league Of an irregular tract COM
prising gene forty acres just south OF
Lincoli park for permanent use as an
assembly ground. Some of the pre-
liminary papers looking to the transfer
have been signed and there Is no long
Ell much doubt that the deal will even
tually be contaminated. II will depend
probably, upon the zeal with which the
rroject IL supported by those who may
wish to see the annual gatherings OF
the league comfortably and permanent
~ housed on property OF its own which
will AFFORD II the opportunities so es-
sential to expansion.
II Is intimated that financial consid-
erations are the only ones now to be
considered In the furtherance of the
transactions. The league Is said to
now have some $4,000 OF the profits OF
It's assemblies OF the past few years to
apply upon the purchase. The total
| price of the land is said to be some
| thing like 5000. and that the league
will require a considerable sum for per-
manent improvements in case the land
Is acquired.
The property which II Is proposed ia
buy lies Just south Of that portion OF
Lincoln park which has been occupied
by the race curse. II is a natural park,
made picturesque by the meanderings
of Salt creek. The only straight line
in the proposed boundaries Is that
along the north line. The intending
purchasers have gone into the large
tract Just south of the park and ave
picked out Just what portions the,
think will make them the handsomes'
and most available property. South Of
Salt creek they will have enough lane
to make n splendid driveway and the,
will control the creek on both OF III
