Henry M. FIagIer Has Line to
Key West Already Partly
Completed.
CONCRETE ARCHES ARE USED.
Novel Engineering Feat Is Described
az the Most Remarkable in
the World.

The most remarkable railroad in the
world, which Henry NJ Flagler is build
ing on concrete arches through the shall
low waters of the ocean along the gar
land Of palm groves that cover the keys
south of Florida, is now in operation
for a distance OF eighty-one miles to
Knights Key, and regular trains are
running over it. Through sleeping cars
will be provided from New York ana
Chicago, and they ultimately will be
carried across on a ferry from Key
West TO Havana, making the distance
in six hours. The railway is more than
half done, and, as the present terminus
at Knights Key has all the facilities
for handling the traffic, Mr.. Flagler
decided to place the completed portion
expense of maintenance, at least, while
the remainder of the track is finished to
Key West. Practically so per cent Of
all the construction work is done and
everything will be ready for through
trains to Havana by the opening OF the
tour1St season next winter.
knights Key, the present terminus
of the Flagler system, is 100 miles
south of Miami, forty-seven miles north
of Key West and 115 miles north Of
Havana. The road between Miami and
Knights Key is built twenty-eight miles
upon the main land OF Florida and
eighty-one miles across and between
forty-two keys. For nearly one-half OF
the distance the railway track passes
over the water on concrete arches,
whose foundations rest upon the bottom
of the sea.
At the town of Homestead, twenty
eight miles south of Miami, the track
leaves the continent of North America
and starts upon its way over the ocean.
Seventeen miles south of that point it
reaches Key Largo, the largest of the
keys, which is fifteen miles long, and
from there jumps from key to key by
means of massive masonry and en-
bankments of cement and coral rock.
In crossing the deeper channels several
drawbridges have been provided to per-
NIT Of the passage of vessels. The in
tervening water between the forty-two
keys varies in width from few hun
dred feet to two miles or more, and
in depth from few inches to thirty
feet. The embankments are rip-rapped
with rock to prevent washing, and are
defended by piles and every other de-
vice that the engineers could invent
to protect the roadway from the at
tacks Of the water, which is sometimes
stirred up into great violence by the
force of the wind. The track is thirty
one feet above high water, so that the
passengers in the railway trains may
sit in the windows Of Pullman cars in
serenity and have an opportunity of
seeing how the Atlantic Ocean looks
In gale.

surgeon. Knife Cure. Headache.

After suffering excruciating pains in his
head for twenty-five years, Louis. Wolf
son of Cincinnati las secured relief by
having the surgeons cut out two nerves.
The pain was above the eyes and at the
temples and recurred four or Eve times
week. He had consulted the leading
specialists, tried medicines, various forms
Of massage and electrical treatment in
vain. The two offending nerves, one on
each side, were between one and two
inches long and about as thick as pin.
They are termed sensory nerves--that is,
nerves which give the sense of feeling and
not control of the movements of mus
cles. The headaches have not returned
since the operation. Local surgeons say
