ALL RAIL ROUTE TO NEW YORK
The New Tunnel Under the Hudson
Nearly Completed.

The New Tunnel Under the Hudson
Nearly Completed.
Forty cars haye-been lowered into
the Hudson and Manhattan tunnel
under the Hudson river from Hoboken
TO New York and very shortly the
trains will be running regularly. At
present. the motormen are running
the five trains lights, back and forth,
to learn all about them before pas
sengers are taken across. At first the
trains will be run to Christopher
street, this line eventually going on
across the city and to Sixth avenue.
From the exterior the cars appear
like squatty little forts set on wheels.
Or, better yet, just plain steel boxes,
with here and there window, and no
attempt at ornamentation. No car
could be palmer from the outside
than are those of the McAdoo system.
Blunt and low-roofed, designed to
take up the smallest amount Of space,
the vehicles, with their rivet-studded
sides, resemble more than anything
else the English railway coach of ten
years ago. Entrance is by side doors
at front, centre and rear of each car.
The doors are moved back and forth
by compressed air
Steel forms the window sashes of
the cars; the peculiar posts. The seat
bases are steel, and everything that
pertains to the cars, but the floors and
seats. The floors are of concrete, a
new idea in underground roads in this
country and the seats are of the Gus
| touary wicker work.
Having entered the car, and in SO
doing passed the motorman's cab
without noticing it, one finds himself
in one of the most peculiar looking
vehicles imaginable. But, first de-
scription of the cab. Two spring
doors, one at each side Of the entrance
passage, at the front of each car, con-
ceal the working parts of the cab,
when not in use. BY movement Of
the hand the two doors are pulled open
locked together, and, behold, a cab
springs into existence. 1t is less than
three feet in diameter, but contains
sufficient room for the motorman to
sit down and operate the handles.
There are two controlling devices, in
addition to compressed air whistle
and overhead contact. One is the
usual controller lever and the other
compressed air brake. Both are sim
pie and compact in form.
Within, the car strikes ole as odd in
that its seats are ranged longitudin-
ally, divided off by slender posts at in
teryals of five feet. These posts will
provide holding on places for those
who have to ride standing-up, though
careful management with thoughts
toward long-suffering public has also
provided straps so that the people
will still have their accustomed recre-
alton. The cars are wide and will ac-
commodate seventy persons, probably
ninety on squeeze, as those in the
Brooklyn tunnel are doing now.
Near the middle of each car is post
ed card of instructions bearing the
usual subway rules.

Much Mixed MaIady.

The story is told of child in one OF
the public schools, who few days ago
in reply to the question of the teacher
as to whether any of the families OF
the children we're sick, replied that
his father was sick. The teacher asked
what was the matter and the child re-
piled "He is sick down here" indicat-
ing the region Of the stomach, He
has tonsilitis.' The teacher argued
that it was impossible to have tonsil-
tits in the stomach and the child sub
sided only to take up the matter the
following morning by declaring that
he knew what was the mather with
his father. He has gaslitis."

IN THE PREHISTORIC AGE.
Light Thrown on It's Civilization by
Recent Discoveries.

From the Fortnightly.
Recent discovery has tended to en-
nance greatly our ideas of the civilization
of the prehistoric age In inner ASA
Minor. Not only have the Hittite monu-
ments lately found by Sir w. NJ. RAM
say and Miss Gertrude Bell in southern
Phrygia and by the Cornell expedition
and Mr. Attmore Robinson in southern
and central Cappadocia shown us that
Syro-Cappadocian influence was para
mount over the whole Anatolian plateau
at some period, but the excavations con-
Quoted by Boghaz keui, in north Cappa-
docia by Drs H. Winckler and o. Puch-
stein. for the Berlin Oriental society
have raised the center of that ciVlllZa-
ton to some sort of equality with con-
temporary Babylon. DR.. Wlnckler was
so fortunate as to light at the outset OF
his work in 1905 on repository OF clay
archives in cuneiform script, partly IN
the Babylonian language. partly In an
unknown and presumably local tongue.
These testify to line of at least four
great kings contemporary Win fhd-
raohs from Amenhotep III to Rameses
II, of whom the last. khattusil uhe
whereof a sort of precis in cuneiform
was actually found among the Boenaz

Syro-Cappadocian power, which has lett
us cities. mounds and monuments extend
ing from Melitene to near Smyrna. which
had a script and art of Its own, is a
fact Of frst-rate Importance In the MS
tory of prehistoric Asia. Its wide 40
main lies right across all roads from the
inner continent, and its monuments show
that 1t distributed Mesopotamian infiu-
ences over all Asia Minor to within sight
of the Aegean sea. 1t has become GER
tain that 1t was the original overload and
largely the parent Of two secondary
mowers which successfully predomi-
mated in the peninsula after the Cappa-
docian monarchy had been shattered by
the hostility of Assyria, those-nameiy,
OF Phrygia and Lydia-which served to
hide the older power from the eyes of the
Greeks OF the first We can gather
something not only from the Ionian
tradition of the dynasty of Gordius and
Midas, with their fabulous wealth and
strong fenced cities. but also from the
magnificent group of monuments which
have been left to our own day at the
point where roads diverged to the west
ern sea by way of the Sangarius and the
Hermus valleys.

in clearing a portion of his land, cutting
stove wood and excavating for cellar.
Planning originally to put up merely a
tent for a summers outing, he decided to
put a floor under it. By the following
spring he had saved $50, and then various
plans were considered. He finally decided
to build q framework of very light con-
struction, twelve feet high in the center.
pitching to five feet at the sides and
thirty feet square. This was not to be
boarded in, but covered outside and inside
with sheathing paper and painted. The
$50 was expended for material and tools.
Estimating how much Of his salary he
could spare weekly to carry on work on
his house." MIR. Abel, with the help OF
friend who volunteered his services,
working spare moments. completed the
structure in about twelve days working
time. This, however, covered about four
months elapsed time.
When $50 had been spent Mr.. Abel
moved his family into the house, which
then consisted principally of four walls,
a Ieaky roof and floor. BY this time he

material when needed. paying when con-
venient.
At the end Of the following summer the
house had been partitioned off, a chicken
yard built. fruit trees and bushes planted
and considerable land cleared. Mr.. Abel
then started in business for himself in
Wellesley, two miles distant, and the real
struggle began. His income became I'M
certain but his credit was good. The
house had now cost $780, including the
land, and Mr.. Abel had performed most
of the work himself.
