EXTRAORDINARY ENGINEERING
Mighty Projects which Tax the skin
and Strength of the Pro-
fessiOn.

The wonderful engineering feats Of the
present day are making 1t easy for people
10 think and talk in terms of millions The
needed outlay for rehabilitation Of Chicago
street car lines, estimated at $4,000 600 to.
NbOOOOO, seems a matter Of compare ttyeIy
slight moment when 1t is compared with
such expenditures as that the government
is making in connection with the isthmian
canal. People in this city look forward
to the construction Of subways with cool
calculation, disturbed neither by the en-
gineering difficulties nor by the mention of
the enormous amount of money which they
certainly will cost Furthermore, these
things are so generally taken for granted
that no one stops to think of the wonder
of it all.
A remarkable illustration of engineer
ing activity is found in the neighborhood
of New York City, where it is estimated
that public and corporate enterprises now
in progress Will represent an ultimate
outlay of $625.OOOOCO. Three of these
represent an aggregate outlay each of more
than 100000, the Pennsylvania tunnels
and terminals, the Hudson companies tun-
nels, subways and terminals, and the new
water supply for the city. Closely follow
ing in point OF magnitude is the work Of
the New York Central in connection with
terminals and electrihcation. subways
smaller tunnels, bridges, and harbor chan
nels combine with these others to require
the expenditure of the large amount Of
money mentioned.
Last year there was work done in con-
struction Of Office and factory buildings
in New York aggregating 100000, an
amount likely 20 be exceeded during 1907
Contemplating the engineering work needed
In connection with these great enterprises
now in progress in New York a prominent
engineering authority claims that the
worlds great work in engineering is being
done on Manhattan island. He expresses
his belief that the difficulties to be over
come are far greater than any ever ex-
perenced in such lines.

NEW ALIGNMENT OF POWERS
Latin Union Backed by Great
Britain.

LONDON, April 21.--While the officials
here minimize the Importance Of King Ed
wards tour of the Mediterranean, II cannot
be denied that the visits to Cartagena and
Gaeta were more than exchanges Of cour-
tesies between the monarchs Of England,
Spain and Italy The presence Of Sir
Charles Hardnge, permanent under secre-
tary Of the Foreign office and King Ed
wards political adviser in foreign affairs,
stamps the meetings as being more than
acts Of civility as Sir Charles has had
conferences with the foreign ministers Of
Spain and Italy. That The Hague peace
conference has been discussed cannot be
doubted, but It probably will be found that
the main interest lies in another direction
As a prominent diplomat expressed it today
Recent events point to the restoration of
the Mediterranean to it's old primacy by
which the relations between the great
powers were determined. -...a 200. ..--
What King Edward is aiming at. some
we'll informed persons contend, Is a Latin
union supported by Great Britain for the
maintenance of the status quo in the great
inland sea- Whatever connection Italy
has with the plans must have arisen since
King Edwards departure from England,
as 1t was not until after his arrival at
Malta that his majesty instructed the For
eign office to arrange for a meeting with
King Victor Emmanuel Whether there
will be other conferences has not been
made public, but It is certain that King
Edwards tour, which began with a
friendly call on King Alfonso at Cartagens.
is steadily growing in Importance.
