through a great arched tunnel cut in
the solid rock. A considerable por.
ton OF this tunnel has been completed.
and along 1t have been excavated
great rock stations, some OF consid.
cradle size.
The survey for the Jungfrau line
was a task wonderful and daring In
itself 1t was In the construction OF
the great tunnel that the chief prob
lens came In. Some places which had
to be surveyed for this tunnel were alb.
solutely inaccessible and the engineers
resorted successfully to process
known as photogrammetry, or laying
out the section accurately from photo
graphs taken from a distance.
As the line OF the road beyond Els
meer glacier Is through region OF
perpetual ice and snow. glaciers and
avalanches. the railway could not of
course be built In the open. As 1t was
itlpracticable to go over the mountain
side the engineers determined to go
through 1t and so laid out and have
partially completed a covered route
above which the avalanches can
thunder. the SHOWS accumulate and the
glaciers move all they want without
damage to the railway. From the sta
tion at Scheidegg to the Elger glacier
the railway runs in the open with the
exception of one short tunnel, and as
the train skins along the top of the
pass a magnificent view is presented
OF the mountains and valleys. the
snowy peaks, the deep gorges, the
cleaning ice fields of the Alps. The
number Of huge and wellknown noun
tains which can be seen from this sec
ton OF the railway is remarkable. At
Eigerwand, the next station on the
line. one is fairly out upon the great
slopes of the Eiger and seems to have
entered a region of arctic snow and
ice. All around is the Alpine solitude.
broken only by the rumble and crash
OF some distant falling avalanche may
be, or the sound OF some stream issu-
ing from the glaciers. This station
at Eigerwand, like all those which
follow 1t on the route, is a large room
hewn out of the living rock.
At Eismeer is the largest Of these
rock-hewn stations. 1t not only is a
station, but a hotel. for there are bed
rooms for tourists who care to under
go the strange experience Of passing
night there. The hotel windows, cut 4
through the mountain side, overlook
the valley. These windows open onto
temporary affairs that can
be taken in and slowed away when
the storms Of winter stop operations
on the railroad.
The construction of the line from
Eismeer to the top of the Jungfrau
entails a tremendous amount of work.
but SO far as engineering problems are
these have been solved. Be.
tween Eismeer and Jungfrau the prin-
cipal station will be The Saddle A few
'eet beyond the Saddle station the
will be on the SHOWS of the
Jungfrau itself. From The Saddle to
Jungfrau the ascent Is steep and from |
he Jungfrau station to the summit OF |
he great mountain there will be an
elevator that will carry the mountain
climber to the very top OF the peak. !

kNOTTY PROBLEM
Confronts His Honor As to
What to Do With Fe-
male Convicts.

As the edIct has gone forth from
the office of the mayor that city con-
victs, sentenced to Jail must work on
the streets. complexity has arisen,
which may be overcome by the pur-
chase of some carpet sweepers by the
city. There was forcible iliustra-
ton this morning Of the embarrass-
ment the city has placed itself in by
the edict, when two female convicts
were sent to jail. They were not
directed to be taken to the streets to
work and just how to reconcile the
edict TO their cases was the puzzle. A
city official has suggested the pur-
chase OF some carpet sweepers but the
next perplexing question would be
where to get the carpets to sweep. but
then few strips can be bought for
the purpose. 1t is a knotty problem
as yet unsolved. The two women got
five days for being drunk and disor-
derly on the streets Both are. col
ored. One man was sent to the
roads in default of fine of IS and
costs for drunkenness.
