SAVED BY BOILING WATER.
Railroad Protected Against the Au%u-
rance of Tropical Vegetation.

Railroad FTOISCteQ A9dhlSe ~S
rance of Tropical Vegetation.
On the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, In
the country through which runs the
new railroad from Salina Cruz on the
Pacific to Coatzacoalcos on the Gun
of Mexico, the rapid growth OF vegeta~
ton is said to be enc of the most Sc
rious problems in the maintenance OF
the road The engineers found, IN
fact, that the tropical vegetation
grew faster than the force of men at
their disposal could cut it down.
After a number of experiments it
was found that boiling water was most
effective in eradicating this too-will-
ing vegetation, and now, just as the
roadbeds of northern roads are sprin-
killed. with oil to lay the dust, the line
of the Tehuantepec road is literally
scalded at frequent intervals to keep
cocOanut groves and sugar plantations
from springing up over night between
the ties and blockading the road
