ing Fea,s
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 dozen re-
porters, w. G.. Oakman, president of
the Hudson Companies, split an old
brick bulkhead with 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 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 bulNhead.
Two tube-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.
Tho tubes will cost when completed
about $13,000,000, and the entire work
will cost about $30,O00,O0O.
Fifteen Feet in Diameter.
Tie 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
tube-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 for

Grown at Gardiner Hubbard Mansion
It was originated by Peter Bissett,
and will be put on the market by
Florist F.. FL. 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
SOciet..-. 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 year and have made various
tempting offers for it, but it RENAME
for Florist Kramer to offer $4,000
and finally secure the beauty.
Such fabulous sum for rose
seems insignificant. however, when it
is remembered that but few years
ago Thomas Lawson of 'Frenzied FL
nance fame paid $4,000 for mere
carnation, while the greater am unit
of $125,O00 was expended for the "Fi-

or the best part of it, to make the
inspection, with a long drive before
and after. but it is worth a thousand
times the trouble that it takes to visit
and inspect this great deposit of
stone trees" 1t is six miles from
Adamana to the first forest and then
another three to the second. where
the stone bridge" is, as the tree
across the arroyo Is called. while it
also means a drive of several miles
through these forests" to see all that
is to be seen. From Holbrook it is
abo 10 miles to the third forest,
which is the most beautiful in color,
and to then visit the other two and
get back TO the town, it consumes a
whole day. The people in this section,
however, expect to have the place
soon made a national park, and then.
if the Santa Fe road does not build
a line into the forests there will at
least be a hotel erected. where visitors
can spend several days, and it is GER
tainly worth a stay of such duration
If the visitor wishes to see anything
of interest.
W. H. Clark of Holbrook, who has
been working to have a national park
made of these forests" has been at
it for years. all the time keeping an
eye open and watching for depreda-
tons. He succeeded in getting the
government to construct a stone abut-
ment under the "stone bridge" to pre-
vent the great petrified trunk from
breaking, and has done other valuable
service TO preserve this great natural
wonder for postrity. He hopes to be
able to get a bill through congress in
the next year or so making it a ma
tional park, and then it will in a short
time be the Mecca for as many visi-
tors as the Gand Canyon or the Yell
lowstone Park, and it deserves to be
placed along side them among the
great wonders of this country.

is a deep coating of stuff that you

are many of these petrified trees.
Therefore, some say that the forest
was covered with a volcanic eruption
and that the action of the atmosphere
turned the trees into stone, that por-
tons of the ashes were later washed
away. by rains, and the forest became
visible. after ages of being buried be-
meath this lava and ashes.
John Muir's Idea.
However, Prof. John Muir, while he
believes a volcanic %upheaval had some
thing to do with the present appear
ance of the forest" thinks that water
brought about the petrification. Prof.
Muir, who is n of the most noted
scientists in the world. the man for
whom Muir glacier in Alaska is
named. is now in the region of the
'petrified forests making a study of
them. He is stopping It Adamana,

which they have evidently been
broken, and the small limbs which
you have seen lying about in their own
bark are equally as hard and of the
same misunderstanding is rock,
solid rock, and you wonder how it all
came about and how it got there.
Theories of Origin.
Various theories have been adj
vanced. but nobody has any proof of
the origin of the forest. Some have
said that a pine forest once grew here
and that it was petrified by some vol
canic freak of nature. for there are
volcanic evidences everywhere, no
matter where you drive in the region
