BLAME I G HEELS.

Paris, France-An cutlery against
the present fashion of women's foot
wear was raised recently by the
French medical faculty.
"That tired feeling" of which SO
many women are complaining, it 10
asserted, is largely due to the wear
ing of high heels. According to the
French doctors, the unnatural posi-
ton which the foot is forced to take
when shod in a fashionable shoe
constitutes a complete displacement
of the center of gravity, and, by
throwing the whole weight Of the
body on the forefoot, occasions a
contraction of the muscles of the toes
and legs.
Strong criticism is also made of
women who, as soon as they return
home from the theater or from some
social function, give way to the i'm
pulse and change their high-heeled
shoes for a pair Of soothing flatsoled
slippers.
This remedy, it is affirmed, is
rather worse than the i'll itself, for it
causes the foot to pass from n ex-
IRENE to the other, which in the end
is bound to produce persistent suf-
fering.
Varicose veins are also given as
one Of the probable consequences of
the high heels of fashion.
In the opinion of leading French
doctors, women who value their
health, should never wear heels
higher than one inch.

TINE is MONEY.

In order to save twenty minutes on
the running time of its fast trains be-
tween New York and Buffalo, the
Lackwanna Railroad company has
built a cutoff which has cost a round
sum of eleven million dollars. Time
saving does not, of course, represent
all of the return on this investment.
The total distance is shortened by
eleven miles, and the maximum grade
is reduced from CO., feet per mile to
20.O4 feet, and 1860 degrees, or over
four complete circles of curvature,
eliminated. This work is the latest
and most striking example of a poll
cy of reconstruction, which has been
carried through on a most extensive
scale by the leading railroads of this
country, in which hundreds of mil
lions of dollars have been expended.
The shortening of distance, the saw
ing of time, and, above all, the reduc-
ton of grades, have made possible
an annual saving of operating expens-
es, which represents a fair working
interest ON the outlay for construc-
ton.
The new line, which extends from
Lake Hopatcong on the east to the
Delaware Water Gap through the
Blue mountains, is unquestionably
the most expensive stretch of trunk
line railroad in the world. 1t Is car
ried boldly, at a practically level
grade, through mountain and valley,
and the construction is of an abso-
lutely permanent character. Where
the engineer encountered projecting
bluffs, he carried his line at grade by
blasting out deep through cuts, and
when wide stretches of valley were
to be crossed he did not, as In the
days of pioneer railroad building, dip
into the valley by steep descents and
climb out of it by equally heavy
grades when the hills were again ap.
preached. Instead, he held his line
at the predetermined level and car
ried it on solid fills that were miles
in length and over a hundred feet
above the floor of the valley.
But this part of the story is best
told in figures of length and quanti-
ty. Across the Pequest valley has
been built the largest railroad fill in
existence-105 feet in height and
over three miles in length. In the
twenty-five miles of new line there
are 70 bridges and c~ulverts of REIN
forced concrete, among which are in
cluded a concrete bridge 100 feet in
length, and the handsome structure
that carries the line across the Della
ware, which has an overall length
of 1850 feet and includes five arch
each of $50 feet span.
Not merely in the magnitude and
permanence of the work, but also in
the methods adopted, the construc-
ton of this line illustrates the high
level of efficiency to which modern
railroad building has been carried.
The most notable feature was the
method of constructing the fills by
means of a suspended aerial cable
way, from which was hung a movable
bridge floor capable of supporting a
train of dump cars above the center
of the fill. The excavated material
from the cuts was run out above the
fill and dumped accurately in place by
the train load. Had this great work
been attempted by the methods Of
construction which prevailed in ear
lier years of railroad building-by
shovel, scraper and cart-the total
cost would probably have been more
than Notwithstanding American.

decidedly interesting session, accord
ing to all reports.
