As will be noticed by inspecting the
profile, the first four miles show the
highest percent of grade. This can
easily be reduced to 1 percent or less
by gradually ascending from the val
ley to h top of the mesa; while the
observations taken were taken while
abruptly ascending. The grade at
San Lorenzo pass a easily be reuuc-
ed to 1 percent or less by locating
the line through a wide draw which
lies a short distance to the north of
the old salt IA The grade from
Salt flats up to the Guadalupe canyon
can be equally reduced by locating
the route about -four miles to the north
about five miles north from it's west
side, where a gradual ascent should
begin and pass arou7d either the north
end of this foothiH mountain or the
south end. In this way s~uficienr dis
lance could be obtained to reduce the
grade After passing the summit /
think an excellent location could be
made and an easy grade found by
running east from the summit and
passing near Independence Spring,
thence following the old Butterield
road ~easterfy for several miles further

init ~northerly to Pine Spring canyon

The Battle of RedOnda.

Not far from st. Thomas, a matter o.
perhaps a hundred miles, was fought
the most wonderful naval battle III al
history. The Dutch admiral detected
the enemy in the early morning. when
the sea was covered with a thick mist,
and his guns opened fire at once with
out warning. The fire was returned
with interest, the ocean fairly qulver-
ing with spasms caused by the shock
of frequent discharges. Somehow or
other the enemy's shots. which sound
ed like a bombardment, seemed to fall
short or go wide OF the mark, for not
even a splash Of a ball was heard, and
the Dutch ships remained unscathed'
On the other hand, the Dutch could not
see the terrible execution their guns
were doing until nearly the middle or
the forenoon, when the fog lifted, re-
yealing to their astonished gaze not the
vessels Of the enemy, but Il great rock
standing out OF the sea Thsy had been
firing at il for five hours, and the sound
of the return shots they hard was the
echo from the solid wall Of granite
They named the place hedonda, which
means sent. rolled or driven back, ana
Redonda il is ID this day.

him, saying.

The furrier was taking his stock out
Of the cold storage room. It came
forth frozen stiff and coated with glis-
tening white frost. But there was one
beautiful skin that, though just as Stiff
as any Of the others. had no frost on it.
II want you to look at this skim he
said. 1T is the kind that the richest
Russians, grand dukes. and 20 on, have
their overcoat collars made Of. It Is a
sea otter's skin. and it is so expensive
that often one coat collar Of it will cost
$500. It is un~questiOnably the best
skin in the world TO make coat collars
Of. Why? Look at this one, and yOull
see. All my other skins are covered
with frost, while on this fur no frost
whatever appears. And that's the rea-
son why sea otter skins make the best
coat collars. The breath, for some I'M
known reason. doesn't freeze on them"

question, l shall be glad to answer it

sat in a stupor. The professor waited
for a time and then said: as there no
one who has a question to ask? There
are remaining several minutes that
could be proftably employed" Finally

Fluid resins or oils from several diff
ferent trees are extensively used in the
Philippines as varnishes. One Of them,
called oil Of supa, is a pale yellow
liquid when fresh, but 1t becomes dark
and viscous after contact with the
air. Spread In a thin layer 1t dries
slowly and forms a hard varnlsh. 1t
IL also capable of being burned in a
lamp. Another natural varnlsh Is ba-
lao, also called oil Of apitong. 1t is
white when fresh, but darkens after
exposure and makes a very tough
varnish. Oil of panao is a third vari-
ETY., inferior to the others In Its drying
properties. Chemical analysis has
shown that all these wood oils consist
entirely of hydrocarbons known as ses-
Qulterpenes.

pressure are lowered. The writer at
L time was attacked by the bends. or
the caisson disease, after coming out
OF the Old Hudson river tunnel. He
was promptly taken into the hospital
which was nothing but q horizontal
tank about the size of a common loco
motive boiler. The pressure, amount
Ing at that time 10 some thirty pounds,
was admitted. and it acted instantly to
relieve pain and TO produce normal o
Gitions. He was told to open the throt-
tie valve and let the pressure out so
that he might open the door. AS he did
this he noticed that the temperature
was gradually lowered, and at a GER
tain point, known as the dew point, he
was enveloped In fog. The pain return
ed about this time, so that he shut off
the discharge valve and opened the
cock, admitting compressed air. The
fog Immediately disappeared, the tenn
p%erature was slightly increased and the
pain stopped. This condition was re-
peated several times, so that here is a
by which artificial fog may be
produced at will. The same physical
laws apply in the production of fog as
in the condensation of moisture on the
exterior of al ice pitcher or on a win
dow pane in winter time.-Compressed
