cording to the biologists of the United
States Geological survey and other
authorities. Oregon had at one time,
probably before the dawn of life upon
the earth, a great volcano which tow
cred as far above Mount Hood as does
Mount Rainier. possibly even several
thousand feet higher. This was the
great Mount Mazama But thousands
of years ago this mountain disap-
peared into the bowels of the earth
and all that is left today is the huge
rim around Crater Lake.
Crater Lake is the caldera of this
extinct and collapsed volcano and is
nearly six miles in diameter. The in
side walls of the. rim of the ancient
mountain are in places nearly four
thousand feet high and almost per-
pendicular. The lake itself is in places
two thousand feet deep and parts OF
the wall rise above it's waters another
two thousand feet. A restoration OF
the mountain in fancy, using as a
basis the angles of the lower slopes
which still remain, shows that the

hfteen thousand feet in height, so that
Mount Mazama was one of the most
lofty ahd majestic peaks in the
United States.

FIRE WITHOUT FLAMES

An engineer has invented a way to
have fire without flame. His apparatus
consists of a porous plate or mass OF
fire resisting fragments within which
he mixes infiammable gas and air in
the right proportions. When the gas
is first turned on and lighted 1t burns
with a flame at the surface of the
plate.
When the flame is turned on the
flame disappears, but the heat in
creases. A temperature of 1920 de-
grees is claimed Just what use of
this invention can be made is yet a
question.

elson. 1t is said that Vicksburg was
finally captured because the Union
army followed her proposed line OF
attack.
The fact that she had such a promi-
nent part in the counsels of the cabi-
net was, however, kept a secret until
after the war because 1t was quite
naturally feared that had the officers
of the army known that each impor-
tant plans were formulated in the
mind of a woman they might have
been unwilling to follow them.
Miss Carroll, unfortunately, lived
ahead of her time, for In spite of her
brilliant service to the cause in which

she originated one of the most i'm
portant strategic movements in the
history of the world, and In spite of
Fhe fact that she sacrificed her own
wealth and time to the government,
her reward was practically NIL. In
1881 her friends presented a bill to
Congress asking that she be given the
salary of Il major-general, but this
was defeated by a Congress which
was apparently incapable of realizing
that a woman could have merited
such distinction. Until her death, In
1894, all efforts to gain official recog-
milton from Congress of the service
she had performed proved in the end
unsuccessful.

With the approach of the Civil
War, in spite of her Southern rear
ing and relationship, she felt deep
rooted sympathy for the Northern
cause, and showed her sincerity by
freeing her slaves at a great personal
loss. Then, in 1861, when General
John G. Breckenridge made his de-
Tense of secession on the floor of Con-
gress, she answered 1t in a pamphlet
which showed such a comprehensive
understanding of the issues at stake
In the war that also overnight
she became famous. At the request
of the union government she wrote
another pamphlet, called War Pow
ers of the Government" and Lincoln
secured her services in writing a
pamphlet called Relations of Re-
VOTED Citizens to the National Gov
eminent" an attempt to prove that
secession could be accomplished only
as an act of war.
Already Lincoln was recognizing
the master intellect which had been
able to grasp the complex questions
Of the impending war so completely
and as further token of his conf
dence in her ability he asked her to
visit st. Louis for the purpose of
sizing up the proposed gunboat ex-
petition down the mississippi Miss
Carroll visited the scene of this pro-
posed maneuver, and, after considera-
ton, pronounced Ii unfeasible. She
advised, however, that the gunboats
be sent up the Tennessee river in
stead. The war department followed
this suggestion, with the resulting
capture of Fort Henry and Fort Don

saying that the ideal railroad route

II worked out my plans, made my
computations and l was glad to be
able to report that the cost of exca-
walton would be very greatly reduced
and the time required would be much
lessened because modern invention
had given to the world the compressed
air rock drill.
"a great central shaft from the
top of the mountain nearly half q

question for me was so to calculate
that the two headings, one represent

General Serrell was In his time as
eminent civil engineer as was to
be found in the United States. He
assisted Professor Morse in the build
ing of the first telegraph line. He
was one of those who surveyed the
route of the Panama railroad In the
early ffties. He was the engineer In
charge of the construction of the first
suspension bridge across the Niagara
river and he designed and carried
out the plans for the famous tunnel
through Hoosac mountain. Some of
his achievements of Civil War days
have become historic, notably the
placing of the famous Swamp angel"
gun upon Morris island In the har-
Dor of Charleston.
General Serrell had said to me in
the course of q conversation relating
to canal construction across the 18TH
mus Of Panama that his experience
in cutting one of the worlds great
tunnels under and through the Hoosac
mountain had persuaded him that II
would be commercially feasible, and
from the point of view of science even
more practicable, to cut great tun-
mel through q mountain situated some
hundred miles south of the isthmus

done there could be a sea level canal

"The Hoosac tunnel proposition.
when l took hold of It," said General
Serrell, was already venerable.

about this plan for a good while.
There had been some attempts made
to survey practicable tunnel

very great. 1t had to be done by hand

On the floor above is the operating
room, one of the most complete in the
entire world. 1t is immense in proper
tons, occupying the entire floor. The
room is built in the form of an amphi-
theater. tablet-arm opera chairs being
arranged on an incline in a semi-circle
around the operating pit. which is situ-
ated at one end of the hall. The pit is
of concrete and white i'm
pervious brick, rendering it perfectly
asceptic. and is supplied with hot and cold
water, so that it can be cleaned thoroughly
after each operation. A bountiful supply
of light falls into the pit from immense
windows directly above it. and. in addi-
ton, there are suspended over the cperat-
ing table two big adjustable arc lamps,
which can be lowered as near the opera
tive field as desired. Scores of incandes-
cent lamps aid in lighting the room at
night.
In the pit is installed a Bradford re-
