a man of great muscular strength. de-

district, but he must possess sufficient force
of character, personality and tact TO i'm
press and convince his herr when the latter
thinks he sees his way to a pinnacle or
glory, whereas the guide knows that he is
more likely to find himself at the bottom
OF deep crevasse. 1t is this uncertainty
as to the qualifications of his employer that
constitutes the principal danger of the
guide as compared with the amateur.
The statement that the herr can choose
his own guide holds good in most of the
SWISS climbing centers and any member OF
one OF the recognized Alpine clubs has a
right to choice of guides. In some places
however, and especially in ChamonN. the
regulations of the guides bureau are very
stringent. and they try to enforce the tour
de role on every possible occasion. A some
what striking instance of this happened
three years ago, when two weil-known
climbers came to Chamonix intending to do
some serious work. with two guides who
had been specially recommended to them
They found their men. but We're told that
these could not come without leave from
the guide chef. The latter insisted on the
tour de role with such obstinacy that final
ly. in disgust the two climbers went Off
to the post office and telegraphed to Ter
matt (where there is guides bureau) for
two guides whom they had already en-
ployed In that district and they engaged
them to climb in the Chamonix valley for
SIX weeks at fl day each. This was nat
urally rather a facer for the red tape of the
guide chef.

MIRACLE OF CONSTRUCTION
The oroya Railroad in Peru, Which
Cost $311, 594 Per Mile.
From the Worlds Work.


The two Americans who constructed this
road. Messrs. Meiggs and Thorndike, were
considered crazy when they proposed it.
1t was necessary to carry the roadbed for
miles through galleries cut in the solid face
of the rock, and the workmen engaged in
cutting the galleries were in many cases
lowered in cages from the cliffs above.
More than sixty tunnels had to be cut in
the course of construction. one. the IA
nous Galera tunnel. one and one-half miles
in length, the highest engineering project
of its kind earth.
1t is on this road that the signal achieve
ment of constructing lofty steel bridge
connecting two tunnels was accomplished.
In building this bridge. which spans a
crevice $40 feet wide and hundreds of feet
deep. it was necessary to lower all material
from the top of the cliffs by wire cables.
The whole stupendous task was made pos
sible only by the liberal of the w
switch or 'switchback. In one instance
on the Peruvian railroad it was found nee
essary to construct a switchback in the
side of the mountain. the train heading in
on the lower level and back out through an
upper tunnel almost exactly above The
cost Of the Oroya railroad. when completed
was $43OO0,OOO, or $311. 594 mile making
it one of the most costly roads in the
world.

Planting Bulbs in the Fall.

From Country Life in America.
The time to prepare for the spring feast
of flowers is in the fall. Too often people
forget all about 1t until they see the tulips
in the parks or in their neighbors' gardens.
and then they HE to the bulb seller in a
quest for bulbs. Generally speaking. from
the middle of October until the ground is
closed with frost the bulbs for spring
Towering may be planted. Some of the
species are late in ripening-lily of the val
ley, for instance-and so the planting stock
is not available until November. In our
northern climate frost and snow may have
made their appearance before these are
procurable, SO the expedient of covering the
ground where they are to be planted must
be adopted. Coarse bagging spread over
the ground and a covering of three or four
inches of leaves, hay or litter of any kind
will answer The best bulb garden the
writer ever had-a small one. It's true--was
planted on New Year day, the soil having
been kept frost free by the method describ-
ed. However. unquestionably, the earlier
the better. The first customers get the best
stock. and the amateur will do well to
order his hardy bulbs in September, for
October planting.

Harvesting the Sun is Not Strange.


When we come to think of 1t the harness.
ing of the sun is not so very strange. In
fact. we have had 1t in actual use since the
coming of man upon. the earth, only indi-
rectly. Without the sun there would be
nothing here-no men, no life. Coal is
nothing but stored-up, bottled sunshine.
The sunlight of a million years ago pro-
duced forests which. falling were buried
In the earth and changed into coal So
when we put coal in the cook stove We may
truthfully say that we are boiling the ket-
tie with mfllion-year-old sunshine. SINH

chain and convert. into electricity, as we
have chained Niagara. If the sun did not

in clouds and afterward empty the clouds
in rain on the mountain tops, whence the
water tumbles down again to the sea So

these years, hardly knowing it, but not d.
rectly. Think of the tremendous amount
of heat which comes to the earth from the
sun! Every boy has tried using burning
glass, which. focusing a few inches of the
suns rays. will set fire to paper or cloth.

NOTES OF THE AQUARIUM
New York's Display of Tropical Fishes
Now About at Its Best.

From the New York Sun.
With 222 additional specimens. including
fishes Of twenty-five varieties received
last week from Bermuda, the aquarium's
display of tropical fishes Is now at about
the height of it's attractiveness One more
shipment of Bermuda fishes will be received
this season. Two fishes Just received here
from local waters that might vie with even
some of the brightest of the swimmers
from tropic seas, are two orange file fish.
taken In Gravesend bay. They are beau
tiful In coloring. the larger one especially
so. 1t might be called lemon, instead Of
an orange file fish, the under part 81 its
head being of a bright and beautiful yellow.
while the under side of its body is less
brightly tinted with the same color.
The file fish. in form. is about as home!y
a f1Sh as there is, and 1t has a way of sus-
pending itself in the water head downward,
30 that 1t appears to be standing on its
head. 1t maintains that position in a
greater or less degree in swimming. For
these reasons, as well as because of their
great beauty of coloring, these specimens
or the orange file fish attract great atten-
ton. One of the two sharks taken in
GraVesend bay and received lately at the
aquarium is five feet in length 1t is the
largest the aquarium has received thus far
this season.
Sharks came north on their annual mi
grafton this year a little later than usual
and those so far taken in local waters have
been rather small. There are now nine
small sharks including the new five-footer.
in the aquarium's central pool. More and
larger Holsters have been placed in the
lobster and crab tank. The crabs there in
clude blue crabs, green crabs and rock
crabs. Great numbers of people find this
tank one of the most interesting of all in
the aquarium. The tropical fishes with
their great beauty, may cause wonder and
delight, but the homely crabs and Holsters,
with their ceaseless activities, and their
frequent squabbles. and their endless ar
tics as they climb rocks. and fall off them
make no end of fun and arouse perpetual
interest.
II could stand here and look at these
Holsters and crabs all day." said one WIS.,
itor. and he looked like a serious. sober
minded man, too. Among additions to the
aQuarium's fresh water stock last week
were eighteen mirror carp. the largest of
them being twenty-six or twenty-seven
inches in length and weighing probably
about seven pounds. 1t Is doubtful If any
public show place in New York has more
visitors from out Of town than the aquar-
ium. Every visitor to New York, appar-
emily, has settled on the aquarium as one
of the places that must be seen.

correspondence London Times.

Chamonix Correspondence London Times.
With the increase in the number of club
huts ladders and other facilities for noun
tain climbing, 1t has become the fashion,
especially among those who know very lit
tie about the subject, to speak of the mod
ern Alpine "ascensionist" though he had
fewer dangers and difficulties to encounter
than the man who undertakes to walk to
Brighton. But, while 1t is undoubtedly true
that, for instance, the ascent of Mont Blanc
is a very much easier task today than 1t
was when Jacques Balmat first made his
way to the summit in 1885, the Alpine
guides. a class, are finding that their
profession Is growing more dangerous and
difficult every year.
This is due to the fact that, as Switzer-
land Is continually being opened up more
and more for the ordinary tourist, there Is
an ever-increasing number of men (and wo-
men, too) who. without possessing any OF
the necessary knowledge, training or ex-
perience, are anxious to emulate, and IL
possible Guido, the feats of world-f famous
members of the Alpine Club. The expert
mountaineer. who has made careful study
of his hobby from the beginning, knows
that the first and most important thing TO
be done, before starting on a climbing eX-
petition, is to choose guides that he knows
he can trust. and. having done so, to accept
their decisions and obey their instructions
in all matters in which their knowledge and
experience are likely to be superior to his
own.
The "tenderfoot," on the other hand, with
his brand-new Ice az and carefully coiled
length Of red thread" rope. imagines that
he is displaying his courage and general
superiority by overruling the suggestions OF
his guides and insisting on doing things
which they know from experience to be
both perilous and foolhardy. The herr can
choose his guide, but the guide cannot &C.
iect his herr, for he takes his turn upon the
roster. knowing always that the aext appli-
cant for his services. for whom he will have
to answer with his life. may DO either an
Incompetent weakling or a conceited a.sc

Their repertoire of society dramas, comedies and melo- dramas, all of which are Royalty plays, bear no resemblance to any plays you have ever seen, and yet they are just as you think they should be, which makes you wonder why some one else did not offer you the same class of attractions long ago.
