AN ENGINEERING FEAT.

Building a Railroad Across the Ice and
Against Time.
Along the Copper river valley lies
q standard gauge railroad, 191 miles In
length, the building Of which was filed
with romance. Its construction Is re-
garded as a distinct feat in worlds
engineering. The road crosses the riv-
er between two glaciers (Childs and
Miles,.
The false work Of the bridge was
laid on the ice in winter Men were
hired to work night and day. NJ. j.
Heney. the contractor. the man who
built another impossible" road across
the mountains from Skagway, and his
chief engineer. e. c. Hawkins, con-
ceived the idea Of using the river ice
for the bridge scaffolding.
AS the spring approached hundreds
Of men were kept busy every minute
Of the day and night, for If not COM
pleted by the time the ice burst all the
work and material would have been
lost.
The ice went out, carrying the false
work with it. less than an hour after
the spike was driven in the connecting
span and the work was completed.

butt Of practical joke, had attempted
without success to change a counter

At Sea In a Coffin.

1t was the French assassin Lupi who
escaped to sea from Cayenne in q cof-
I'm. He managed to get some nails, tar
and cotton, and one dark night he got
into the coffin shed. He selected a fine,
stanch and seaworthy coffin and fas-
tened the lid in order to turn it into a
deck, leaving a cockpit sufficient to en-
able him to crawl in. He calked all
the joints as well as he could, and
when this work was finished he made
a pair of paddles out of two planks.
Then he brought out his craft with
great precaution. Without much diff

Licorice Root.

Very few people, says a writer in the
Wide World Magazine, have any idea
where the familiar hcorice root comes
from. AS matter Of fact, the bulk Of
1t halls from Syria. Here it is gathered
and piled into great stacks, where 1t re-
mains until it is thoroughly dry 1t is
then taken to the factory to undergo
certain processes. The finished prod
uct is used for flavoring confectionery
and beer. as well as entering into the
makeup Of many brands of tobacco.
Some idea Of the extent Of the indus
try may be gathered when it is stated
that on the average 5000 tons of dry
hcorice root is shipped from Aleppo
annually. while Bagdad yields another
5000 tons, Antioch 1000 and Damas-
Gus 500 tons.

In the early days Of the territorial

most every man in the district Joined
the local battalion of ''kilties," and the
men were signed on without medical
examination. it being quite usual in
some country districts to wait until the
annual camp before medically examin-
ing recruits. On arrival in camp 1t was
noticed that one man was wearing the
trews at drill instead Of the regulation

explained that he had left his kilt at

BASEBALL STRATEGY.
A Game That Was Won by Two Play
ers and a Live Snake.


Tommy Tucker lost a game for
Washington to Chicago once and start
ed battle all because of a trick Bill
Dahlen and Bill Everett put up on him.
Tom never did like snakes. Indeed.
he held them In adherence. and in
some way Dahlen discovered this.
Washington was to play Chicago that
afternoon, and during the morning
practice on the west side grounds Dab
len and Everett discovered a small
gartersnake and treasured it up.
Along in the fourth inning Everett
cracked out hit. and as soon as he
landed on first base Dahlen. ignoring
: MS usual custom, ran out to coach. and
moment later he slipped the harmless
little reptile to Everett. who dropped it
Into fuckers hip pocket.
Tommy discovered the snake just as
the pitcher was delivering the ball
and, with yelp, he deserted first base.
The batter had hit to the shortstop.
who gathered up the ball on the run
and started to throw to second, but
was too late and threw toward first.
Tommy was twenty feet off the base,
Jumping up and down and hunting for
something with which to kill that
snake, and the ball went to the stands
and Chicago scored four runs before
the inning ended.
Tucker protested wildly, but the un.
pire couldn't find anything about
snakes in the rule book and let 1t &C

by the geologist at the public library.
