M ROBABLY the most remarkable en-
- cheering undertaking Of the period
: is now in progress in the southeast
ern corner OF the United States, This is
the construction of railroad southwark
through Florida to the outpost of Key
west-the southernmost city Of the
United States. While this unique new
highway of commerce is commonly re-
ferred to as under construction in Flor
ida such a statement does not convey
true idea Of the situation. Instead OF
being constructed on dry land, as is the
ordinary railway, this new marvel Is, Ia
literal truth, a marine railroad.
The new pathway for the iron horses
picks its way over the keys or small
islands which fringe the lower coast of
Florida. over portions Of the route these
coral banks are comparatively close to-
gether, so that II Is a relatively simple
matter to bridge the gaps or connect
them by fills; but at other places the
keys are separated by great expanses OF
water, and here 1t Is necessary TO span
the lntersecting arms Of the sea with
concrete viaducts of extraordinary
length. so that many sections Of the new
road are, in effect, built on the door of
the ocean.
II is this necessity for constructing a
railroad over land and sea that makes
the project take rank as the most notable
engineering achievement OF the decade
but the circumstance Will also enable
faded globe-trotters to enjoy some dis
tlncty new sensations when they journey
over the new line in standard day coaches
or Pullman parlor cars.
There are several places In this coun.
try where railroad travellers can enjoy
the odd experience of looking from car
windows upon an expanse Of water ex
tending to the horizon. This is the case
on one OF the principal railroads enter
ing New Orleans. and also at Salt Lake,
Utah. where one of the transcontnental
lines cuts across a corner OF the brIny
inland sea However, such brief transit
over rails laid on piles or "hlls" dwindles

most of the players coming from Phila-
delpha. where the game seems TO have
found deep root, have Invariably been un-
successful. a most potcut reason for not
going again. Despite these facts Phila-
delpha is to send another team of crick-
cters to England this summer Fifteen
matches viii be played IL In England
and two in Ireland, the first match being
set down for July O. the last for August
-. Five years have elapsed since an
American cricket team has been in King
Edwards realm, aud the reason for going
this year Is due to the fact that In 1909
the Australians will be there and In 1910
wielders Of the bat from South Africa
1t marks one more international match or
series of matches In which, as good
Americans, we are bound to manifest
some interest.

IN the annals of sport the year 1908

IN the annals OF sport the year 1908
will be a memorable one In this coun.
- try. for never before have so many In
ternational contests in various branches OF
outdoor activity been scheduled in which
American contestants are to take part
as in the season which is about to begin.
An international flavor to such things al
ways means much. for great as the glory
is IN winning from ones own country
men. no matter how skilfu or expert the
latter may be, and 1t has been proved he
yond question that we do excel in many
things, there Is not the glory OF the sat
isfaction In such achievements that there
is in besting the representatives OF other
nations. The satisfaction is doubly sweet
when success comes In a field OF en-
deavor in which they have long boasted
superiority. For this reason, even though
our tea-selllng friend Sir Thomas Is not
to be with us in another probably futile
endeavor to wrest the cup and incl
dentaly secure some MOTTO be-desplsed
or overlooked advertising for his wares

sesses the business acumen of the canny
Scot. there are innnmerable other inter.

Winds. tides. storms at sea and other
unusual influences had all to be reek-
oned with. Since the road crosses 70
miles Of open water, and much Of the
route Is far out at sea, II goes without
taken OF the possible effects of storms.
The tracks are at all points elevated
more than 80 feet above high water. rec
ords covering a long period having dem
onstrated that the highest waves known
to this coast do not raise their crests
above height Of rs feet. Moreover, the
coral reefs which parallel the track
throughout the major part of the dis
tance will act as a protecting barrier.
The seagolng railroad traverses AZ OF
the 10000 keys or small Islands which
fringe Florida's eastern coast. Even this
part Of the route, however, presented In
