has the work been performed that

tree Is considered chiefly for It's age,
form and tint, and not for use, this is
venerated as a beautiful and sacred
object.
In the center OF the garden is q

covered islets. Each tree in a Jap

and purpose in the combination.

continental railway. the
Pail Mall Gazette.
The survey Of the vast stretch Of
country between east and west has
been the Of not a little anxiety.
Camels had to be used to traverse
the great wastes and at every point
the problem Of scarcity Of water had
to be faced and overcome.
The chief surveyor examined the
country In advance and employed a.
novel method to mark his trail for
those who followed. He fastened a
heavy chain to his camel, and this
dragging on the road left a plain trail.
When it was possible observations of
the stars were taken at night, and
provisions and water were sent on
about seven miles ahead for the next
days camp.

the old Roman style OF road building,
which consists in eliminating the tun-
nels and loading it OF the surface by
all means.
The distance between the two men
toned stations is only 81 miles, but
as Darjeeling is 1000 feet above the
starting point one may easily realize
the difficulties which the engineers
had to overcome. the more as a
toothed wheel railway was out OF any
question because OF the high cost.
These difficulties have been overcome.
In order to have the machine take all
the inclines and only on the surface,
the gage of the road was established
to be but two feet wide. The rails,
however. were of a heavy construc-
ton and attached to ties which were
laid at very short distances from each
other. In order to augment the ad-
hesion of the train to the rails the
locomotive has been constructed as to
develop so horsepower and is kept as
low as possible to have the center
of gravity close to the ground. SO
that the danger of tumbling owe
when taking the sharp curves was
eliminated. The BUTTERFLIES cars are
altogether six feet high and they are
SO coupled hat they touch each other
in a semi-circled plane. The car is
nothing else but a bottom of boards
fastened to the car frame, the top OF
it being formed by canvas supported
by bamboo sticks. Four small benches
are the seating accommodations of
this miniature railway.
In riding on this road, one has the
round. The train winds it's way up
the mountain and 1t is wonderful to
see what curves are taken by the
small engine.
The road ends In a very narrow
pass, and at once the engine turns
around and pulls the train up an in
cline which has not been observed by
the travellers. If a hill is in the way,
the road winds itself up by way of
s%erpentines, but always without 60
ing through any tunnels. This Is done
in a very curious way; the lOcomo-
tive hauls the train over one winding
of a serpentine, switches 1t, and in
stead of hauling the train, the loco
motive pushes it from the back. On
zoe second winding the train Is again
switched over and the engine comes
aaead to haul the train. This is done
umtil the top OF the mountain is
reached.
in such a manner the difficulties
a.p overcome ingeniously and the ex-
psnsive tunnels are eliminated. This
ter railway, as 1t is called, is certain
/! the most interesting of its kind.

GEORGETOWN SQUAD
DOWN TO HARD WORK
Blue and Gray Will Be Put
Through Grue|ing Practice
for Few Days.

With the full coaching staff on the
field for the first time since the Virginia
game, the Georgetown foot ball squad
engaged in a lively workout yesterday.
Coach Gargan, who has been at his
home in New York since the Virginia
game took charge of the team yester-
day and instilled the players with more
life and dash than has been seen on
the field this year. With Gargan was
Dave White, who has been away also.
Gargan believes that it is necessary to
start preliminary work. such as teaching
the fundamentals, and for that reason
devoted most of the time to teaching the
men how to pick off, and also falling on
the ball and tackling. Since the men
were allowed to break training Satur
day evening, he believes that it will take
several days to get them in good shape.
and il is his belief also that by going
| over the fundamentals of the game for
a short time each afternoon a great
| deal of good will be derived.
1t would not be one bit surprising 10

| ing him a great deal of pain. Martin

| fensive, and for this reason he is being

The Gallaudet squad INDUCED in stiff

has not Won a single game this year,
the Buff and Blue team is not expecting
an easy time and Coach Crafts has spared
no time in putting his charges in con-
dition for the coming battle. 1t is doubt
full IL the men have been in better shape
any time this fall than they are right
now. 1t has been natural with former
elevens to be in poor form when the sea-
son was about two-thirds over, and con-
sequently play ragged ball in the re-
manning games. 1t is all different with
the present team. As the season ad-
vanced the players rounded up, and at
the present time the team as a whole
is more fit to go into a game than 1t
was at any time this fail. There is not
one man on the hospital list. This might
be due TO the fact that Gallaudet has not

Every man has taken good care of HIM

count largely for the fact that almost
