RAILROAD OVER OCEAN
NOW RUNNING TRAINS
Henry M. FlagIer Has Line t.
Key West Already Partly
Completed.
CONCRETE AH0EEs ARE USED.
Novel Engineering Feat Is Described
a. the Most Remarkable In
the World.

the most remarkable railroad In the
world, which Henry NJ. Flaeler 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 distance Of eighty-one miles to
knights Key, and regular trains are
running over 1t. Through sleeping cars
VIII be provided from New York and
Chicago, and they ultimately win be
carried across on 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.. FIagler
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 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
tourist season next winter.
Knights Key, the present terminus
Of the Flagler system, lie 100 miles
south of Miami, forty-seven miles north
Of Key West and LIZ 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-haIf 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
drawbrldges 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 hum
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 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

seeing how the Atlantic Ocean looks

Responsibility Raises Devil-May-
Care Prince from Mire of FrivOIity.
Sacrament is not in it's origin Chris
dan' but of heather Rome, says the
Los Angeles Times The Roman sol
der on the eve of battle took an oath
of loyalty to his general. He owed this
loyalty before the oath, but the formal
ity was supposed to renew his devotion,
to impress on him anew a sense of his
responsibility and inspire him to great
er deeds of valor.
All sense of responsibility seems to
exert an influence like this sacrament
on the minds of most men. The more
Of manhood there is in a man the
greater the influence on him arising
from sense of responsibility.
King EdWard VII. of England is a
conspicuous example of what deep
sense of responsibility will do for a
man who has mental capacity and q
human heart,
AS Prince of Wales Albert Edward
earned for himself the reputation of
devil-may-care devotion to pleasure not
matched by many of his chums among
the royalties of the continent who
maintained any respect for common de-
cency. For be 1t said that Edward in
the days when he trod "the primrose
path" with the jauntiest air seldom
forgot to be a gentleman. On a men,
orable occasion, to save woman's rep
utation, the gay prince is thought by
some to have strained the fiber of truth
to an extreme. But all agreed that If
this were so, he "perjured himself like
a gentleman"
But this seeking prince, as
soon as the responsibility of kingshlp
fell to his lot, at single effort threw
off all his former carelessness and be-
came in all respects a model ruler. He

Eminent Philanthropist viii Build
City Of Edison Homes.
Working together, Thomas A. Edison,
wizard Of East Orange, N. j., and
Henry Phipps, New York millionaire,
believe they can solve the tenement
house problem.
They plan to do this by erecting an
entire city Of concrete houses, Mr.. Edi-
son having perfected plans recently
whereby, he says, he can build within
u hours and at cost of from $1,000 to
81 200 a beautiful nine-room house,
suitable for two families. Each apart
ment Of these double houses can be
rented probably at $3.50 a month, &c.
cordlng to Mr.. Edison, thus saving to
the working man now paying $40
month for a two-rooul Home III the tene-
ments, enough money each month to
cover his carfare expenses to and from
his work.
Mr.. Phipps, who in 1905 gave $1,000.
900 for the erection Of model tenements
in New York City, recently spent an
afternoon in Mr.. Edison's laboratory at
East Orange, discussing with him the
possibilities Of the cement or concrete
house. The steel manufactures was ac-
companied by corps Of architects,
builders and concrete experts who
made q careful investigation of the
Edison plans When they left they
were enthusiastic over Its possibilities.

"The legislature is doing good.
conscientious work. and when that
body adjourns the people will be as
well pleased with its work as they
we:e with the work of the delegates
of the constitutional convention"
said w. \ Ledbetter this morning
upon his return from Guthrie. where
he has been on business connected
with making settlement of the diff
ferences between the old and new
counties in that section of the state
known as old Oklahoma. Continuing
Mr.. Ledbetter said:
The public generally has no con
ception of TIE amount OF work that
Is being done by the committees of
/ the two houses of the legislature.
The committees are working night
and day and the public will not
know the amount OF work that is
being done until the committees re-
ports are made.
This legislature is being misrep-
resented just as the constitutional
convention was misrepresented, in
that it is being held responsible for
measures that have been proposed.
But when it is all over the people
will be well pleased with its work. "
In speaking about the settlement
between the old and new counties,
the matter in which Mr.. Ledbetter
is engaged in at this present time,
he said: "a bill will be introduced
In the legislature and passed by
both houses comforting jurisdiction
on the supreme court in the matter
of the division of the assets and liza
bilities of the old and new counties
so that a decree from the court will
be final"
When asked about other political
matters. Mr.. Ledbetter had nothing
further to say.
