CORAL USED FOR RoADHED.
Remarkable Construction Of Florida
East Coast Railway.


American railroad builders have
used nearly every. conceivable material
for roadbed, from solid granite to the
shifting sands of the great southwest
crn desert, held together BY growing
vines. But 1t remained for the Florida
East Coast railway to construct a
roadbed out OF material which is grow
ing in popularity as jewelry.
The portion of the Florida coast
upon which it has been found feasible
to use coral as ballast is in the extern
sion from Miami to Key West, along
the Florida keys. The reason for such
use is patent to the student Of geology.
The keys through which the road runs
are composed of it. Coral rock is the
only thing obtanable except by long
transportation. Many of the long
islets are a long way from the main
land,
But a beautiful and exceedingly sub
stantial roadway IS being constructed
out Of the coral rock 1t is glistening
white. like a great band Of satin rib
bon, on which the little islands, with
their luxuriant. tropical growth, are
strung like a necklace Of emerald
beads. It is more truly a gem-studded
bond uniting Key West to the Florida
shore.
The road, which was conceived In
the mind of Henry M. Flagler as
part OF his plan to join Cuba with the
United States by an all-rail route. IS
remarkable in more than one partic
ular. Much of the roadbed Is being
constructed in water 30 or more feet
deep. Forests of trees are being used
for piling and tons upon tons OF con-
crete are being dumped on top to form
a substantial highway through the
ocean.
When this unique railway is done
the traveller Will in places, be speed
ing along entirely out Of sight Of land
He viii practically 60 to sea in a rail
way train. Nothing will greet his eye
at times but the wide expanse of blue
waters where the Atlantic and the
gulf meet. The new line will cost
from SIS, ,0OO, GOO to S2O.0O0,OO to build.
1t is expected to be completed in
three years

washInaton,s Dead Rate.

1t is a convincing reply that the
district commissioners made to the
charge that Washington is the most
unhealthy city in the country. The
death rate Of Washington is shown
to be lower than that Of Augusta, Me-;
Atlanta Ga; Annapolis, Nd; Lynch
burg. Va: Key West, Fla. Jackson
Vile, Fla, Mobile. Ala, Savannah,
Ca. Saratoga, N. r., San Antonio,
Tex, San Francisco. CAL; Whining
ton, N. G.; Troy. N Y Richmond,
va. and San Diego. Cal The death
rate Of Washington is essentially the
same as that of Memphis. the city in
which the charge against Washington
was given publication
The death rate in Washington is
somewhat higher than in number Of
large cities because OF the high death
rate among the colored population.
There are more colored people in
Washington than in any other city in
the United States-more than in New
Orleans. the metropolis of the black
belt.
