BONUS OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING

The committee from the CONNER
cial Club who have been soliciting
subscriptions to the bonus for the road
10 the bottom, report that they are
meeting with fine encouragement.
They have made change in their
plans, going over theslist of property
owners and proratingi the amounts
Ethat each should give in order to Sc
|cure the required amount of $4,000.
The committee is meeting with fine
success along this line, the property
owners coming right up with the
amounts the committee fixed as being
bust and right for them to give.
The Eagle does not believe there
|are any fossils in Bryan, like other
towns are infested with, and feel:
assured that all are imbued with the
spirit OF progress to such an extent
that the bonus will be raised. The old
timers here, who have worked hard
for the building up of Bryan and for
their individual possessions, are not
going to balk now. They realize the
value of this road, not only to the
town, but in the value of their own
property, and will see the wisdom of
doing their full duty in the premises.
There are jpst few yet to come
down with their subscriptions, and the
committee believes that every one Of
them will come right up to the mark
without a single exception. AS soon
rs these few remaining subscriptions
are signed up. the committee says, the
rest is easy and the task will be COM
pleted within twenty-four hours.

In regard to the article in yester-
days Eagle relative to dangerous rail
road crossings, The Eagle has been
informed that the H. & 7. C. now has
force of men here doing the prelim-

work and getting the system installed
as soon as possible.

OF the officers of the Titanic ordered
him away from the life boats. He was
not trying to enter the boat and was
only doing what he could to assist in
the rescue of the passengers. His eff
forts doubtless were not well directed,
but were sincere, and therefore entitle
him to praise rather than censure.

Paper CHANCES Hands.

Miss Margie Neal announces that

years, to Mr.. j. M. Carnes, who, with
G. L. Carnes, his son, will continue its

states that it is not/because she was
unable to make the paper pay that she
has parted with it. On the contrary,
it has been financial as well as me-

beWildered senses, da2ed by sudden
recall to activity, took subconscious
cognizance Of regular, persistent
pounding and eventually succeeded in
stirring ME to attention. | suddenly
sat IN and looked about me. / found
myself in the deserted cottage, the
drug slave still motionless on his couch
and the logs still smoldering in the
fireplace.
That humping quickly saw where
it came from. Davis WAS standing over
the sleeping form Of Dodds, the con-
stable, engaged in the work OF awak-
ening him by the park policcmans
misunderstanding him on the soles OF
his shoes.
The process was successful. The
constable snorted, drew up his legs,
rubbed his eyes and sprang to his feet

/ heard Davis tell him. Il want you
to go and get the blackboard and drive
around to where Rouser's body lies.
Bring me any papers you find IN lis
pockets. Leave his money and his
watch and keys, so as not to arouse
any suspicion Of robbery. As soon as
you have done that l want you to

AS IL IN cOrroDOrariCn Of my words,
the three Of them, Crandall, Davis and
the constable, returned just at this
moment.
Come, Miss Parrish" said Crandall,
Il think it time ! was starting home,
with you, if you feel able to travel. Il
have run the car up just outside the
cottage. l think We can safely leave
the completion OF our mission to the
inspector and Mr. Kent"
~ wish Mr. Kent was coming back
with u.s." said Louise in sweetly
plaintive tone that made me long 10
crafty her wish.
81 need him here" said the in
spector almost roughly.
"And that comes first for all Of us"
she said bravely, as helped her to
the car.
I watched the automobile out Of
sight and then turned back into the
cottage, where I found the constable
stretched on the floor, already fast
asleep. Davis, sitting on the floor be-
fore some !smoldering logs that had
been placed in a rudely-constructed
open fireplace, seemed wrapped in
thought and did not even look Up when
! entered.
Nevertheless, seated myself on the
floor beside him and, placing my hand
on his shoulder, l said once more:
"And now I want to know all about
it.''
"Shut up" he said, savagely shaking
off my hand. Cant you see I want to
Think"
Rebuffed and amazed by his rude
ness, sprang to my feet, only to get
new surprise as, in tones as courtc-
Gus as his others had been rude, he
said: "If were you, Harding, I'd fol-
low the constable's example and try to
get some sleep. You and have a
hard day ahead of us tomorrow"
Seeing that he was in no mood to be
questioned, smothered back the many
things I wanted to ask him and
stretched myself on the floor, not to
sleep, but to ponder. AS I reviewed
the amazing events Of today, OF yester-
day, of the day before, 1t seemed as
if ages and ages-grim, mystifying,
terrifying ages-had passed since that
hour when left my office light-heart-
ed to call on Louise Parrish.
And the 1norning-the inspector had
said-was to bring hard day for both
Of us.
What new terror could tomorrow
hold?

DEEPEST SIPHON
TUNNEL IN WORLD

When we were little tads, sailing
top boats in the big washtub out in
the backyard, we learned how a siphon
may be used to make water pump It
self. After we had grown tired of
playing with our miniature Dread
noughts grandpa showed us the trick
of emptying the tub with a siphon
made of an old piece of garden hose;
he simply filled the hose with water,
stuck one end in the tub. let the other
hang over the side, and the water
lifted itself over the edge and flowed
away. Another sort of a siphon-One
big enough to run a subway train
through-it being built to drain a
tub, in the form of a reservoir, large
enough to float all the batt1eships OF
the United States navy, and forms the
master-link in the hundred-mile chain
of dams, aqueducts, tunnels and pipe
lines which Father Knickerbocker is
building to carry water from the Cat
skill mountains to his family of s.
100000 in New York city. 1t is not,
scientifically speaking, a siphon, but
the engineers call it an inverted 81
phon," 1t is really mighty tunnel
in rock, driven a quarter of a mile
below the surface of the Hudson river,
and is capable of belching forth in a
single day enough water to fill two
and one-third million miles of one-inch
garden hose.
The Hudson river siphon is shaped
like a letter U, which some Titan
might have laced, for it's legs or
shafts are almost as long as the two
tallest skyscrapers in the world placed
one on top of the other, and the cross
bar or tunnel covers a distance Of
more than ten city blocks. 1t is the
deepest water works pressure tunnel
in existence today. The Catskill wa
ter supply will be fed into the big
black NAV of this monster tube under
a pressure of $4,000 pounds per square
foot, and as the depth of the tunnel
below the surface is approximately
100 feet, the static pressure at the
bottom will be 94,260 pounds per
square foot-probably as much as ex-
listed in the very early types of cannon
which fired chunks of rock instead Of
steel projectiles. The siphon has to
be built to withstand great bursting
stress, and is in reality colossal con-
crete gun loaded with water instead of
powder - Robert K. Tomlin Jr,, in
Scribner's.
