Double Decking Streets.

Chief Engineer Goodrich of the bu-
reau of membranes of the depart
ment of highways, New York, has pro-
posed a plan for the double decking
of Forty-second street, New York, be-
tween Fifth and Lexington avenue.
The street is one of the most con-
gested in the city, there being proba-
bly, no place in the world where so
many systems of transportation cen
ter as here. The double decking OF
the street will give an opportunity for
separating the traffic, to say nothing
of at once doubling the capacity OF
the street. Here ia problem Wnlch
will have to be met and successfully
solved. as the modern office building,
20 to 80 stories in height, gradually
replaces the older buildings. Some OF
the downtown streets of New YORK
are already congested almost to a
standstiIl, SO that traffic at times is
nearly impossible.

ORDER MINERS BACK TO WORK

ton Practically Terminates Disas-
trous Strike Of Coal Miners.

London.-The decision of the min
ers' federation Saturday afternoon to
order the men to resume work has
brought intense relief to the whole
country. The termination of the coal
strike virtually amounts to raising a
ruinous siege of the nations indus,
tries which has inflicted financial
loss far larger than would have been
caused by war with great power OF
similar duration.
In Scotland the miners returned to
the collieries on Monday, but as that
day is a holiday in England and
Wales the strikers there were not
expected to return to work until
Tuesday. In many mines three or
four days more will elapse before re,
pairs can be completed. By the end
of the week, however, it is expected
that every colliery will be in full
swing.

WORLDS OLDEST WOOD DOOR
Said to Have Been Built for Church
at Rome 1900 Years Ago-Made
by Peter the lIIyrian.

Rome.-The Dominican Order pos
sesses in Rome two churches of
great interest, Santa Maria Sopra
Minerva in the heart of the city, and
Santa Sabina on the Aventine.
The latter during the closing years
of st. Dominick's life was his home
and headquarters. But the church
was already very ancient when he.
took up his abode there. According
to the Rosary it was built A. D. AIS,
during the pontificate of st. Celestine.
It's founder is commemorated still
in the original mosaic inscription dat
ing from 431, on the western wall OF
the church inside the entrance. Tho
mosaic even now is a splendid relif
of a very far distant age.
Remains of the second church are
to be seen in the western corridor, OF
cloister, where are number of early
inscriptions; on one side the original
twisted columns of pavonazzetto stili
support the roof, on the other they
have been replaced by granite. 1t was
from a window in this cloister that
women were allowed to look out upon
ST. Dominick's orange tree.
The entrance door of the church is
so ancient that it is said to be the
Oldest wooden door in the world; as
it dates partly from the fifth century,
1t may be supposed to have been the
original door of the church built by
Peter the Illyrian.
