T is an aphorism that New. York is
"a city Of big things. But these
big things must be seen or heard
- before they make an impression.

Of the greatest engineering work the
world has ever known is going on right
under their feet there are few in the
crowds who know II. .
Throughout the whole length Of Nam
haitian Island and for miles in Brooklyn
a tunnel ranging in diameter from
eleven to fifteen feet is being bored
through the solid rock from ESQ to 700
feet below the surface. It is necessary
that the tunnel be run at great depth to
prevent n possible injury to the sky
scrapers and underground roads. The
work is being carried on through twen-
ty-four shafts. about a mile apart, con-
venientiy located In parks and at street
Intersections.
This tunnel Is the longest that has
ever been built. but It is only the fin
fishing touch to New York's new water
supply system, which is the greatest
work ever undertaken by a municipal
ity. Regardless of its mere size there
are many unusual features connected
with this enterprise. The most original,

tic work. The city is required to main-
tain order throughout the length Of the
l%aqueduct and in territory adjacent to
ut wherever work connected with the
water supply system is being carried
lon. This is accomplished through a
military force of nearly 400 men. who
are known as the aqueduct police.
Since Mayor Gaynor took Office this
tremendous undertaking has made rap
lid progress and has been %singularly
free from scandal Of any kind, though
prior to that time it had become to a
considerable extent the prey of poll
|ticians. In connection with the con-
demnation proceedings incident to the
purchase OF the vast amount OF proper

were no less than forty-three commits

each OF whom was allowed $50 q day
and expenses. These commissions
were paid by the city. out were APP

in which they sat Naturally they were
in no hurry to get through with the
work. so they sat for only a very short
time every day. But this was changed
by the new administration. The per

direction of h mayor. and the courts
were asked to allow the commissioners

YdEN w. Cameron Forbes,
M governor Of the Philip
pines, now on his way
homo on leave Of absence,
reaches this country on May I 1t will
be interesting to ask him his opinion
about the proposed scheme for Philip
pine independence. Being a man of big
mentality as well as good personal APP
pearance. Governor Forbes very prob
ably has formed an opinion. But
whether he will tell 1t before reporting
to the Washington authorities-that's
another question. He has the reputa-
ton Of not. telling or doing anything
unless he wants to do sc.
However. some idea Of his views on
the ultimate independence Of the Phil
ippines may be gained from a reading
OF the following extract from q letter
written by him seven ears 90:
THE mass Of ignorant Filipinos do
not understand the American idea Of
freedom, their Idea Of independence be-
ing freedom Of a few to Cypress the
many. The peace IL wholly kept by
constabulary and scouts who are ma
tives and who. under American officers,
make extremely good soldiers. Under
native officers they are much more
likely to %tyrannize over every one and
become unbearable. The ignorant Fill
pino is very easily led. His idea Of in
dependence is sometimes very humor-
Gus. There IL not one in a hundred Of
the common people that knows what it
means. and when the insurrection
started they were just told by their
eaders that 1t was a good thing to get,
and that satisfied them"
That. however. was written even
years ago. It may be that Governor
Forbes in the light Of seven years
progress Of the Islands in prosperity,
peace. education and the spread Of lib
eral ideas has changed his views.
1t is reported that Governor Forbes Is
not in good health and that his Journey
home Is intended as q means Of recu-
peration. He 10 forty-two years old,

RABBIT TOBACCO.

Morristown, Tenn, January l.
{ Great Scottl you don't mean to
tell me that you're buying rabbit
tobacco?" said farmer to Guy
Mathes recently.
Eyes, sir, rabbit tobacco is
bringing 2 cents pound today"
replied Mr.. Mathes.
Gnaphalium, polycephalum-
meaning "msny headed softdown, :"
is probably one of the commonest
of all the "weeds" that grow in
Tennessee. No wonder the farmer
was surprised to 6nd that it was
worth. money.
It is, known in various sections
of the country as "Indian Posy,"
"Life Everlasting" "White Bal
sam" and sometimes as "Rabbit
Tobacco"
Until recent years the weed has
never been used except by the boy
who craved a near-cigarette smoke.
,LtSgrows in great abundance on
dry, barren lands and flowers in
July and August. The leaves has
q pleasant aromatic smell. The
plant grows perfectly erect, with
many short branches, and flowers
at the top of the main stem.
During the past few months i've
carloads of the weed have been
bought on the local market and
shipped to medicine manufacturers
sin various parts Of the country
Sfhe entire plant is used in the
manufacture Of various remedies.
The average carload carries about
5000 pounds of the weed. Mr..
Mathes has about 6,Oc0 pounds
now, which will be shipped during
the next few days.
