Henry M. FlagIer Has Line to
Key West Already Partly
Completed.
CONCRETE ARCHES ARE USED.
Novel Engineering Feat Is Described
as 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 1t. Through sleeping cara
will be provided from New York and
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
in operation and have it earning the
expense of maintenance, at least, while
the remainder Of the track is finished to
Key West. Practically 80 per cent Of
all the construction work is done and
everything will be ready for through
trains to Havana by the opening Of the
lOuTiSI SCuSOn 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 a few hun
dred feet to two miles or more, and
in depth from a few inches to thirty
feet. The entertainments are rip-rapped
with rock to prevent washing, and are
defended by piles and every other de-
vice that tbp pnpinaprS 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
enc 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 a gale.

ICHARD HARDING DAVIS, one OF

sheriffs. came into White Plains with his
kennel master the other day. While

biscuit shop, Mr.. Harding Davis discussed

Chance of Heart.

nRESIDET ELIOT of Harvard said
I the other day that it was not true
that the colleges were the hotbeds of So
cialism in America. He said that social
ism could not come until man chang d
utterly-until he changed from selfish to
an unselfish being.
President Eliot illustrated the present
disposition of man with a brief story.
IAN ardent socialist" he said, lived in
a country village. He did no work; he
had no money. All his time seemed to be
passed in the general store. preaching
rabid socialism and borrowing tobacco.
suddenly this man disappeared. Moth
ing was seen Of him for ten years. Then,
one day, he turned up again in his old
haunts.
".WelI, Jabe,' said the storekeeper,
you're still a socialist, ! suppose"
MOT on your life,' Jabez answered
warmly. I got a cow now.'"

slung carelessly over the shoulders. Then.
too the better feeding grounds which are
located farther out near the edge OF the
channel can be reached without difficulty
and there the hunter may lie in wait for
the larger fiockS which after the first few
days of shooting gather not only to get
the richer and more luscious oats, but also
81 in the hope of escaping the watchful eye
of the hunters who devote the opening
days to cunning close in to shore.
The two days on which there were more
men out on the marshes than at any other
one time were the LIST of September and
Labor day, and 1T truly was a mob that
assembled on these two days Long before
dawn they were deploying among the
rushes, reeds and sedges. The flats were
fairly alive with hunters. To the peophyte
1t would seem a hazardous pastime. when
it is remembered that so many are quietly,
and without the knowledge of other hunt
ers, stealthily polling their boats about
and firing round after round of lead into
a flock. which may be stalked on the OPP
posite side, and less than hundred feet
away. by another gunner. However. it
is not so dangerous as it might seem.
All rifles that shoot ball cartridges are
barred from the marshes by strict regula-
tiOns. which are religiously upheld by po-
lice officials and deputies who are always
wandering about: The only kind of am
muntion used is the smallest of seed bird
shot. The larger or coarser kind of lead
pellets would tear the dainty morsels out
of all shape and recognition, and the kind
used will hardly penetrate a mans skin
at even the short distance OF fifty feet after
it's force has been spent tearing through
the rushes. OF course. there have been
instances of painful accidents occurring,
but these are very infrequent The only
casualty which has resulted fatally during
the past six or eight years was when
young hunter was hit with a ball she'll
from a small bore rifle in the hands Of
an amateur who afterward claimed he
didn't know it was loaded"
The Kind of a Gun.
The ideas of sportsmen regarding the
best kind of shotgun for rail and reed
bird shooting differ widely. William
Wagner, or Uncle Billy Wagner, as he
is Familiarity known to practically every
one in Washington who does any regular
shooting, is the dean of the fraternity
here. and uses nothing but .2S-gauge gun
of the best make He says that he gets
just as big bags and kills as many birds
at one shot as those who use the bigger
bore guns. The general preference is for
larger bores, but No. 10 or II shot is
quite, large enough for small birds.
experts say and even ducks will not
often get away from the sportsmen
using the lighter shot. On the first
day of the season Mr.. Wagner bagged
and two summer ducks. The Biggest
bag reported in Washington September
was ninety reedbirds and forty rail-
There is no limit fixed by law to the size
of the bags. Every sportsman can shoot
as many as his skill and opportunities
after the season opened. killed sixty-nine
rail and eight ducks. which was reported
to be the record bag up to that time.
but it was exceeded very soon by another
