parents and combines all of their good

ing on the dollhouse bench.
Grown at Gardiner Hubbard Mansion
1t was originated by Peter Bissett,
and will be put on the market by
Florist +. H. Kramer, of Washington.
Bissett is the head gardener of Mrs.
Gardiner Hubbard, the widow of the
late Gardiner Hubbard, at one time
president of the National Geographic
Society. She is the mother-in-law of
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor
of the telephone. The new rose was
produced at her beautiful suburban
residence, Twin Oaks, just outside of
the national capital.
The leading florists of the country
have known of the existence of this
rose for a year and have made various
tempting offers for it. but it remained
for Florist Kramer to offer $4,000
and finally secure the beauty.
Such a fabulous sum for a rose
seems insignificant. however. when it
is remembered that but a few years
ago Thomas Lawson of "Frenzied FL
nance" fame paid $4,000 for a mere
carnation. while the greater amount
of SIPS 900 was expended for the "Fi-
ancee'' ~carnation. 1t is limited that
Mr.. Lawson cleaned up W. 100000

that none of the beauty of its coloring

GIANT RIVER TUNNELS.

Meeting NEW JERSEY AND
NEW YORK.
Completion of Borings Under Hudson
River-One of Greatest of Engineer
ing Feats

Completion of Behring'S Under Hudson
River-One of Greatest of Engineer
ing Feats
After half a century of speculation
on the practicability of tunneling the
Hudson river from New Jersey to the
island of Manhattan, it is now posi-
BILE to walk dry-shod from Jersey to
New York. The twin bores have been
completed; that is, they have been cut
through and cased in, though of course
some finishing touches are yet to be
put upon them. 1t was a few days
ago that in the presence of the engi-
neers, the directors and a dozen re-
porters, w. G.. Oakman, president Of
the Hudson Companies, split an old
brick bulkhead with a hydraulic jack
and completed the first Manhattan
Jersey tunnel system. There was a
six-inch gap in the wall. A gang of
ground hogs rammed the breach a
little wider, and the party crawled
through into New York city.
The old wall that was cut through
was seven feet thick. 1t is the relic
of a former failure to tunnel the
Hudson. Twenty-three years ago the
engineers of the old Hudson Company,
after cutting a considerable distance
under the river, abandoned the enter
prise and walled in the unfinished
work with this brick bulkhead.
Two tub%e-tunnels run parallel be-
meath the Hudson river, the work of
boring them being done under direc-
ton of the New York and New Jer-
sey Railroad Company, but this COM
pany entrusted the actual performance
of the work to the Hudson Companies.
The present tube has been two
years in the course of construction.
The tubes will cost when completed
about $13, 000, 900, and the entire work
will cost about $4,000 900.
Fifteen Feet in Diameter.
The tubes are 500 feet long, 15A
feet in diameter and are intended for
one track each, with a sidewalk for
workmen. Two tubes have been start
ed on the New Jersey shore, to run
under the river to Cortlandt and
Church streets. These tubes will be
1914 feet in diameter. The tubes just
completed will connect on the New
Jersey shore with the Pennsylvania
and the ~Lackawanna terminals. In
Manhattan one branch will connect
with the subway under Fourth ave-
nue. at Astor Place. Another branch
will run to Sixth avenue and Thirty
third street. A trip through the entire
length of the tunnel from the subway
to Hoboken will cost only five cents,
: About six hundred men have been en-
ployed in the tunnels.
Cars will be running through these
t~ube-tunnels in eighteen months. The
safety of transportation in the tunnel
needs no demonstration, for trains will
run in a steel tube the strength of
which to resist pressure has been care
fully worked out. Being laid from
fifteen to fifty feet below the river
bed, it cannot be affected by the ac-
ton of tidewater. The tube is a steel
lined hole in the earth. and except fol

the Pennsylvania Railroad undertake

be expected that in our of time ev-

will have its own tunnel. The East
river piercings do not present much

TO LOWER 1,ooo-MILE RECORD.
Wridgway Will Start on the Brighton
Beach Track Nav 5,

A notable long distance record attempt
by a driver who has already won fame in
trials of this kind will signalize the open
ing of the metropolitan racing season. May
., the day before the inaugural meet of
the Brighton Beach Racing Association,
Charles G. Wridgway, driving touring car
will start on that track in an attempt to
lower the worlds 1,000-mile record of 20
hours and 50 minutes 81 80 seconds, scored
by Charles Schmidt on the Crosse Pointe
course at Detroit last year A schedule will
be laid out so that Wridgway will finish his
ten century shortly after the program is
started. Wridgway is the hero of several
long-distance nonstop feats between New
York city and Boston, and is also rated as
one of the cleverest track drivers the met
ropoltan courses have developed.
The track is now being put in the best
condition for automobile racing and the
improvements made include the straghten-
ing of rather sharp turn at the head of
the home stretch, the resurfacing of the
turns with hard clay and a sleeper bank
ing of the turns. The track will be in ex-
cetlent shape by the end of this week and
Will be open for automobile practice every
afternoon throughout the entire year, ex-
cept in July.

Chicago Teacher Died of Meningitis

Miss May Blossom Blume, a teacher in

Chicago, is dead at the Lakeside Hospital
from the dreaded spotted fever" or in

school and the institution may be closed.
The health department, after making an
investigation of the case confirms the re-
port that Miss Blume's death was due to
the plague which has caused hundreds of
deaths in New York since the beginning of
the year. Miss Blume recently returned
from a visit to New York, and it is sup
posed she contracted the malady there.
Mr. Blume denies that his daughter had
the disease but DIR. Spalding, chief medical
