Digging the site for the station was alone

Three million cubic yards OF rock was
blasted out to a depth Of sixty-one feet in
tine center of New York to make way for
the gigantic terminal
Hundreds Of new inventions necessary to
cope with emergencies in constructing the
terminal and the tunnels were perfected
right on the ground and secrecy was an alb
solute essential So the son OF Erin had
been instructed 20 refuse admission to any
one not carrying a passport signed by the
officials or the superintendent Of construc-
ton. No cameras were allowed in the edi-
flee under any circumstances
Once within the depot on the strength OF
a passport the visitor must present further
credentials before being allowed to view
the tunnels
1t was largely due TO the tremendous
pressure Of demands from interested trav-
elers and tourists that the Pennsylvania
was compelled to publish a book to satiate
the public's hunger for information-the
small volume being distributed by agents
throughout the country.

He Won.

Ex-Governor Bob Taylor, of Tennessee,
was once entertaining a northern guest,
who was rather skeptical about the prevail
ing dialect in stories of southern negroes.
He thought IL overdrawn. To disprove the
contention, Mr.. Taylor laughingly made a
wager with his guest that the northerner
would be unable to interpret the language
OF the first negro they met. Accordingly,
they set out and presently came upon a
black man basNng indolently in the sun.
Telling his friend to pay close heed. Mr..
Taylor stepped up to the negro and de-
manded suddenly:
"Weh he?"
The negro blinked his eyes stoldly, and
then answered in a cultural voice:

I'VE believe that these exhibitions can
be conducted along broad educational lines
on a scale of lberallty hitherto unat-

This will be made possible by the combina-
ton of all Of these famous fliers under a
single organization, enabling exhibitions,
comprising all types of flying machines. TO
engage in every variety Of aerial contest,
to be given at minimum expense in even
comparatively small towns. The OUTLAWS.
Of course, will always be- heavy but we
shall save time by having our special train,
carrying nearly score of flying machines,
with a large force OF mechanicians. repair
cars, and fun complement Of men TO
pitch the large tents used for housing the
aeroplanes.
The International Aviators will enter ali
open and honestly conducted meets where
sufficient inducements are offered to de-
fray the enormous outlays required for tho
educational campaign which is now being
begun, and which It is intended to extend
throughout the United States so as to give
within the shortest possible period of time
an opportunity to all the people Of the
United States, those in the small hamlets
as well as in the more important commun-
tiles, to witness a practical demonstration
Of this, one of the greatest II not the most
