Double Tracking Southern.

The fifteen miles of double tracks" on the Southern Railroad has been complet- ed between Alexandria and Sidebun Va
 As is we'll known. the Southern has plans for double tracking their main line from Alexandria to Atlanta, and while this six hundred and fifty miles may not be fin- ished in some time, 1t is expected that before the 1st of January, 1904, a hum dred miles of the road will be completed. The line from Alexandria to Charlotte. PCS miles. Is the first big poine that is be- ing pulled for, and when that Is completed 1t will be the greatest kind of advant- age to the road. At present there are half dozen sections that feed directly on to the main line at Charlotte. and as a result that portion of the road is weighted down with traffic and can hardly be made 10 handle the increasing business. Double tracks will more than double the capacity of the line for 1t will do away entirely with the lost time that Is now consumed in taking the sidings. The Southern is the first and only road in the South to consider the mater of double tracks and is very pardonably elated over the prog ress 1t Is making. The work that is now being carried on in Virginia Is extensive. The track builders are working in gangs at various points along the line and there are 4,400 men now employed. They work in two shifts. nigh and day. and the con tractors are talking of doubIng the fo ce. It Is said that the. farmers living along the line are making an excellent thing of the presence of the men in their neigh borhood. ds they find ready sale for eggs chickens and all kinds of produce. The men live iL tents and small portable houses. and the travellers who pass along the main line. which is parellel to the line under construction, say that 1t is very interesting and picturesque.

Submarine Tunnels.

After months of consultation the Penn- syivania Railroad Company finally has decided upon the methods by which 1t will build it's tunnels under the North and East Rivers and Manhattan Island, ana has advertised for bids on the work and material. The construction beneath the North River will consist of two single cast iron tubes, entering New York at the foot of West Second Street and rum ming unoer that street. They will be built by the Shield process Among the many precautions arranged to make the tunnel as safe as possible will be two con- crete sidewalks. built inside the tubes on a level with the car windows, and the plans provide that the tubes must be roomy enough to allow ample width for these walks. The object of the walks is to provide exits for passengers in case of accident.
 Every car, 1t is claimed, will be fire- proof. The tunnel itself will be fire- proof. The underground station in New York will be about Q feet below the street level. Although entirely underground, the station will be the largest in the world. The power to be used in the tunnel will be electric locomotives.

OlD.TIME PLAYING CARDS..
They Were First Made in America
but Asatics Monopoiized the Art.

They Were First Made in America,
but Asiatics Monopoiized the Art.
The playing cards OF the present day
do not differ In general appearance
from those Of several centuries ago,
although the discovery OF the art OF
printing has made them more plenti-
ful. though scarcely more artistic.
The cards In use to-day are derived
from stick game. supposed to have
originated in America. Fifty small
sticks are a pack; the game" was
originally for the player tc divide the
sticks rapidly with his two hands, the
opponent guessing which hand held
the larger number.
Owners of sticks spent rainy days
in carving them. The Asiatics bor-
rowed the game and carved more elab-
crate counters out of ivory; those with
different carvings grow to have diff
ferent values arranging them in
groups OF fours made it necessary to
add two to the original number. Then
thin slabs OF ivory began to be used.
For centuries after this all playing
cards were hand-painted, at first on
ivory or metal, afterWard on card
board. The pictures. lat first legend

came the fixed, wood faced caricatures
we now know. And these, coming
