Cassatt's Dream Fulfilled.
Thus was born Cassatts dream, now
nearly realized, eight years after actual
work was begun. Mr.. Cassatt Is dead,
but his work has been taken up by his
successor, James McCrea, and carried
TO success. "a way to cross" was the
core of the difficulty. Engineers have
turned 1t into n tunnel core--and the
way is found. Very modern conditions
have made this possible. 1t would be
utterly impracticablo TO run trains
drawn by steam locomotives through
six miles OF tunnels. The electric en-
gine has solved this part Of the prob

people by 1913 and 100000 by 1920.
Roughly estimated, this area now has
about 100000, considerably more than
four-fifths of whom reside in the city
of Greater New York
If these computations are correct,
and conditions seem to justify them,
New York within ten years will be the
most populous city on the globe. The
Pennsylvania has been building not
merely for the present. but for the flu
ture. with It's inevitably vaster volume
of traffic, When one is confronted by
the statement that these new terminals
have cost the railroad company from
$90.000.000 TO S125.000,000 (the APP
Proclamation varying to that extent),
one is astounded at the figure. What?
Does II cost hundred million dollars to

money? Yes, II costs that much, when
the acquisition of the necessary land
is counted i'm, and it would be reckless
extravaganza IL the improvements were

among scientists, including the un-
dersigned that this blanket has been
stolen from the sun. A 1910 passed
perihelion, the nearest point of old
Sol. on Jan. II. the day after Inness
sprlnkled it's tail with salt. Al that
point II was less than 100000 miles
from the sun, and Il would have been
easy for one of the outriggers of its
widespread tail to snatch off the Nava-
10 blanket as the comet swept past.
At present the comet Is about 120,-
100000 miles from the sun, so there Is
little chance for a recovery of the stolen
property. The comet, we are told, Is
now about 165,O0O,OOO miles from the
earth; hence we are safe from that
almond odored cyanogcn peril.
A 1910 is travelling at the rate of for
ty-one miles a second, 2,460 miles a
minute, 147,G0O miles an hour, 3,542, 400
miles a day. This Is considerably faster
than the terrestrial hobo travels. even
though he catches the blind baggage
of the Twentieth Century Limited or
the twenty -four hour 81. Louisan. The
reader will observe that ii Is pretty
difficult to keep track Of this comet.
for not only does it sliyhoot at most
no fixed orbit Astronomers at the
Lick observatory in California, who are
making strenuous efforts to classify
and salt down this comet for future
reference say that It seems to be trav-
cling in a parabola, which is an open
curve that does not return into itself.
From this we deduce that Comet A
1910, whatever else II may be, Is not

Candor compels me to admit that
Professor Harold JaCohy of Columbia
university, who spled upon A 1910
with the naked eye from Riverside
drive and West Seventy sixth street,
New York, several evenings when the
comet was close enough to the earth
to be thus visible, claims that its orbit
has been "rouGhy found whatever
that means but, alas he hints that
there is no assurance that II win ever
come this way again. SO, comet catch
ers, save your salt for iialley's comet,
highly respectable aviator with a
known orbit, which win pass nearest
the earth about the middle of May.
But lot us not weep because Comet A
1910 is disappearing, perhaps forever,
into the vastly void II sat for its pho
tograph before it left us. Messrs
Parkhurst and slocum Of the Yerkes
observatory made two negatlves, which
are positively good lkenesses, and
when color photography is perfected
