and his fathers sermons sometimes
puzzle him sorely. He regards MS faith

with the world as it really is. His par
ents encourage him to express his opin-

as possible. So one Sunday at dinner,

NO PROTECTION FROM HENS.
Bicyclist Injured Through the Fault
of One Fails to Get Damages.

Oh ohe Ais 10 "eI manages.
American wheelmen are likely to be
interested in the decision of the Kings
Bench Divisional court in the hen-bicy
Gle case, says the London correspond
ent of the New York Times.
A hen scratching worms at the side
of a public road was frightened by a
dog and flew across the highway into
the spokes of a bicycle on which a
young man was taking a holiday spin.
The bicyclist was thrown on his head
and badly hurt. The machine was ruin
ed. The bicyclist sued the owner of
the hen for damages.
In the County Court the judge found
for the defendant, holding that in or
der for the plaintiff to recover he must
show either that it was the usual habit
or that the hen in question had ac-
quired that habit. There was no evil
dence of either sort and, therefore, it
could not be alleged that the owner of
the hen should have kept her chained
or locked up in order to prevent the
nen from Interfering Will the Sports OF
bicyclists.
The plaintiff, not satisfied with this
decision. carried the case to the Di-
vfsionaI court, but the two learned
Judges Of that court sustained the
County Court judge so, as the law
stands to-day. he who rides a wheel
on English highways is pretty much at
the mercy Of the highway hen.

SEA RAILWAY a MIRACLE.
Crosses 100 Miles of Ocean, and VIII
Cost s32 100000.


The railroad which Henry NJ. Flag,
Ter and his millionaire associates in
the Standard Oil Company are build
ing over the Atlantic ocean from the
mainland to Key West, Fla, has made
such progress that it is announced that
the line will be completed by the sum
mer Of 1909.
This railway is the worlds most ex-
traordinary engineering project to-day,
and engineers at least say that when
completed it will be a wonder of the
world. The railway will be 160 miles
long. All the way from mainland to
Key West are small islands or keys,
as they are called, some an acre or less
IN extent. The builders Of the road
are connecting these keys with immense
viaducts, supported by huge abutments
of solid concrete. At one point, two
KEYS are three miles apart, but the en-
gineers did not hesitate. They found
the ocean only forty feet deep, and they
proceeded at once to construct a great
connecting bridge. Coferdams were
sunk and the bed Of the ocean was
dredged out in places to solid rock.
Then the soil concrete foundations were
laid. The engineers are confident that
the worst ocean storms will not disturb
their bridges.
The railroad will be the most expen-
sive in the world 1t is costing $780,
900 mile to build, which means a
total expenditure, exclusive Of termin-
ais. Of $50 600. 600.
