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. Cofferdams 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.

ing the moisture out Of the plants and
out Of the ground. The principle is
the same as when the wind blows over
a chimney on windy day. The air
passing over takes hold OF column
OF air in the chimney and pulls IL
along with it. The little capillary
tubes. in the soil are minute Chin
neys, and the wind passing is drawing
the air out Of them and with the air
is drawing the aqueous vapor. It
is the same with the minute pores in
the leaves Of plants. Through these
pass the columns Of vapor to mingle
with the air.
