New Marvel of Engineering.

Out at Butte Montana, where the great stamping mills and ore-confentratihs works have turned the mount91n city into titanic inferno of tall cnlmpeys belchlng black and sulphurous fumes, stands one tremendous tower, the top of which IS $50 feet above the ground, writes D. N. Harper in Technical world Magazine Tor May.
 When it's erection was planeed, the first idea was to build if of brick. That would have required a thickness of twelve or fff- teen feet of masonary at it's base But a construction engineer from Chicago was called into equalization. He proposed that the huge chimney be built of concrete, and with spine misgiVings. the plan was adopted He prepared a foundation SIX feet deep. twelve by twelve, of concrete with a. lumber of reinforcing rods. Be- ginning at the ground level, he carried two tfin concrete shells upward for one huDdred feet. The outer one is only nine inches in thickness, while separated by four inches of space from this is an inner Shell five inches thick. At a height of one hundred feet, these two unite into sin gle seven-inch shell of concrete, which extends skyward until the vast height of $50 feet is reached.
 This chimney. many feet higher than our modern city slSy-scrapers, is there fore composed of but fourteen inches of concrete at the base and half that amount for the upper 250 feet. 1t is not of plain concrete, but IS reinforced both horizontally and verti- cally with a number of small steel rods, which were held in place until the con- crete had been deposited around them, making reinforced concrete body su- perior in every way to both steel and brick masonry. There are in the United States scores of these chimneys.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
Acquires Two New Roads In Tennes-
 see-Excellent Territory.

The Wall Street Journal says:
 The Southern Railway company has ac- oured the charter and right of way of the Ohio River and Gulf Railroad com pany, which was organized about a year ago by stockholders of the Tennessee Land and Coal company. to build line from Johnson's Stand on the Tennessee Central division of the Southern, in Cum berland county Tennessee, to Jamestown. in Fentress county.
 The Southern has also purchased the Kentucky and T>Hnessee Railroad com pany, another new concern which has al ready constructed about five miles of road In a southwesterly direction from Stearns, Whitley county, Kentucky This line will be extended by the Southern to James, town, where it will connect with the nor thern terminus of the Ohio River and Gulf railroad. This will give the South ern a direct line between It's Tennessee Central division at Johnson's, Tennessee, and it's Queen and Crescent route at Stearns Kentucky
 The new line will be about sixty miles in length and besides affordlng q consd- erably shorter route for the Southern be- tween Cincinnati and Nashville. will pene- trate an undeveloped coal territory which will produce heavy tonnage as the re- suit of the exploitation which may be expected to follow. Grading has been commenced on the Ohio River and Gulf end of the new route. and, as stated above, construction work on the Kentucky and Tennessee division is under way.
 The territory to be penetrated Is largely level so that construction costs will be comparatively light and work can be pushed rapidly. It Is said that trains may be running over the cutoff before the end of the present year. Thls Is con sidered a very important addition to the Southern system in Tennessee
