SHORE LINE ELECTRIC ROAD.
Power House to Be Built at saybrook
East lyme SaYbrook Petition.

A contract has been awarded to the
New Haven Rigging company for the
driving of the spiles in connection with
laying the foundation for the large
power house to be erected for the
Shore Line Electric Railway company
at Saybrook. Work will probably be
started next spring. This announce
ment indicates that the Shore Line will
push to completion its contemplated
line from Stony Creek east to the Con-
necticut river and north to Essex, and
is interesting news in view OF other
recent developments in trolley affairs
as relating to the establishment of a
through line between this city and
New London by way of the sound
shore.
The Shore Line company has a char
ter to build to the west side Of the
Connecticut river and the New Lon
don and East Lyme Railroad company
has now petitioned the general assem-
bly, for an extension Of time in which
to build a trolley road from the pres
ent westerly terminus OF this company
at Mantle to the shore OF the easterly
Connecticut river. The opening of the
Shore Line road and the extension to
the New London and East Lyme will
complete the through trolley route
right up to the river and then comes
the proposition Of spanning that wide
stream.
In this regard a bill has been intro
duced in the general assembly provid-
ing for the establishment Of free pub
lie ferries across the Connecticut at
various points, one of which would be
on the lines of these trolley roads.

Building.

On Wednesday the work Of drilling q
hole through solid rock a foot in diam
eter and sixty feet deep was started
and will be rushed along and to ad-
vance it as fast as possible it may be
done night and day. A good start was
made Wednesday. when a hole from
two to three feet deep was drilled. It
is expected from the hardness of the
rock that about two feet a day will be
averaged.
The driving machine is operated by
compressed air. The hole Is being
drilled for the plunger of the elevator
which is to be installed in the Plaut-
Cadden building, being located near the
north side of the property on Main
street, where the new building is to
be erected. The depth Of the hole
equals the height Of the building.

amounted to only 1873 billions OF
miles for one passenger; now 1t
amounts to 1915 billions of miles.
In other words, if n passenger were

lance daily travelled by passengers on
American railroads. %
Our freight traffic, too, is bigger.
In one. year we carried a billion tons
of freight an average of two hundred
and forty miles each. If each man.
woman and child this country
hauled each day five hundred pounds
of freight a distance Of thirty-two,
miles, they would not accomplish I'M

that the railroads perform.
The next ten years will show still
greater progress. Many railroads
will be rebuilt; others will be electro

stations, stronger locomotives, bigger;
and better cars-all of these r in

c. TEMPLES OF ICE.
A Crystal Palace Found Amid the Frozen
Wilderness Of Greenland.

Changeless Arctic temples of ice
amid the icy deserts Of Greenland
were found by the survivors of the
Inflated Erickson expedition to the
North Pole. A crystal palace of su-
perhuman architecture vaster than &
dozen cathedrals and Egyptian tenn
pies. resplendent with jewels and
endless decorations of ice, is de-
Scribed.
Created by nature in a forbiiding
wilderness, it frightened and awed
the explorers. The dreams of poets
and the fancies Of epic bards we're
surpassed by this vision of colossal
loneliness, which the painter Achton
Fries, a member of the expedition,
endeavored to carry away for the
benefit of the jewellers in civilization.
More than a mile in length, the
lofty nave of this temple was pierced
at intervals with windows through
which the cleaning sun rays snark!ed

on columns and cubes and immense
clusters of stalactites like pendant

ice palace flowed a stream of water
whose occasional ripple and splash

AMI 1SS3-Lleutenant Greedy started
from Lady Franklin Bay with his
men on August 9, expecting to find
a vessel in Smith Sound. On October
FL they were obliged to encamp at
Cape Sabine on the western shore OF
Smith Sound. A few depots we're
found which had been left by Sir
George Mares and Lieutenant Beebe,
but all were exhausted before the
spring. Then came a time of indie
scribable misery, acute suffering and
death from slow starvation. When
the relieving steamers Thetis and
Bear finally reached Cape Sabine
Lieutenant Greedy and his comrades
were found just alive.
During recent years there have
been numerous efforts to solve the
riddle of the north. Andre attempt
ed it in a balloon and added another
riddle-the riddle Of what became
of him. Then the Duke of the
Abruzzi, hansen, Fiala, and most per-
sistent of all, Commander K. E.
Peary, all essayed the discovery or
the pole. Nansen entered the polar
ice with the Fran in 1908, and
throughout two winters drifted
toward the pole, but never near
enough to locate it. Captain Cagni.
one of the Abruzzi party, reached to
sc degrees "a minutes north, the
most northern record up to 1906, but
which was subsequently eclipsed by
Peary. Following these came Walter
Wellman, E. B. Baldwin and Fiala.
F. A. Cook, and once more that indie
fatigable searcher for the pole, R. E.
Peary, both found it.
