ENGLISH RICH AT PLAY.
Twenty Special Trains From London
for Scotland in Day.
Harper's WeekIy.)

The great playing ground of the Brit
ish aristocracy and of the sporting rich
is Scotland. There is no country in the
world which depends so much for its liv-
ing on sport
Millions of acres that fifty years ago
were let at a pepDercorn rent now bring
in vast sums as grouse mOors and deer
forests. and the time is not far off when
all Scotchmen will be gillies caddies or
heaters. or will serve in some other ca
pacity in the vast and expanding organ
izations that ministers to sport.
To be invited as a guest to some great
Scottish mansion with its private golf
links, its brawling trout and salmon
stream, its unequaled apparatus for
grouse shooting and deer stalking, and its
intoxicating scenery is. of course. another
matter. although even under such circum-
stances the expense of the journey and
the prodigality of the tips expected from
one make the acceptance of hospitality
anything but a cheap undertaking.
But to go to Scotland as a non-million-
aire is to herd with peripatetic tourists in
the trains. coaches and steamers that
make the tour of the Highlands. To be
out of things in Great Britain is to be
enormously out of them, TO belong in
fact, to a totally different world with diff
ferent standards, possibilities and pursuits.
The number of those who are in them.

mitted that the musical tastes of 1.-The
CorSlean ogre were not elevated, but,
for all that, he loved singing so much
that many a time after a concert he
ordered the vocalists TO come to the pal
ace and sing before him and the En-
press Josephine.
A curious anecdote is told of his brusque
manner of dealing with artists. One
night at a concert at the Tuileries while
Duport, the famous violonceliist, was per-
forming solo, the emperor suddenly en-
tered His majesty nodded his head ap-
provingly and when the piece was fin

How the deuce do you manage to keep
the instrument so motionless?' and TAX

tween his spurred boots.

saw his treasure treated like a war horse
For several minutes he looked on tremb-
ling from head to foot. At last. however.
he darted forward and called out Sir
in such pathetic tones that the emperor
handed him back the instrument
DupOrt thereupon showed him how the
instrument was held. but every time his
imperial master extended his hand to at
tempt to do IL himself Duport threw HIM
self back in alarm, till finally Josephine

against any flood, the like of which had
occurred in the memory of the old
est inhabitant, but not to form any pro-
lection against the terrible devastating
flood of March, 1907.
With a suddenness that was appal-
ling, the lazy stream that bears the
dirty, sluggish water through the can
yon in the summer time, Swelled to a
torrent a mile wide and forty to sixty
feet deep. and rushed through the can
yon, carrying before it everything from
sand heap to a mountain, plunging its
way southwark, overcoming all obsta-
cles, to the Colorado river. The roadbed
of the Salt Lake Route, with it's sup
posedly protected rip-rapping, was car
ried away like straw. For nearly 100
miles there was in place of the railroad
recently laid only swirling torrent of
water fed by the ever melting SHOWS
from the mountains increasing in in
tensity the torrent that swept through
the valley.
For weeks all possibility of traffic
over the Salt Lake Route was elm
mated. The problem of constructing a
temporary roadbed through this flooded
country was one of the greatest that
ever presented itself to railroad engi-
neers. Work night and day on the part
of the construction engineers and the
construction crews of the railway was
necessary to lay a temporary track
above and around the flooded district.
But the problem of constructing a
temporary roadbed was as nothing in
comparison to the problem of building
a permanent track safe from all dam
ger of future floods. Mountains were to
be hewed away. The channel of the
stream was to be changed to take it
away from the tracks. High above the
highest high water mark of the floods
of the Meadow valley wash a shelf in
the mountain was fashioned, and on this
shelf was reconstructed the roadbed of
the railroad TO lessen the chances of
a flood, the channel of the wash was
deepened- Steam shovels dug out the
sand in the bed of the stream and used
this sand as ballast for the new road
bed Great boulders were hewed out
of the mountains and used TO form mo-
sale rip-rapping for the roadbed. The
winding channel was Strengthened.
Wooden bridges were eliminated and
concrete bridges substituted The en-
tire improvement cost over 81 SOC. 900.
which meant an average of more than
$50, 1888 a mile.
Ever since the big flood of 1907 the
Salt Lake Route engineers have worked
increasingly to put Their roadbed beyond
the possibility of a repetition of such a
food. And they have succeeded. To

He has taken a correspondence school course in electricity and has been given the benefit of all the practical eXperi- ence possible about the institution.
