try box is regarded as one of the
Sights" Of the Porto Rican capital.
The story of this crumbling bit Of ma
sonry runs to the effect that within
the last 100 years six men have en-
tered the tower and were apparently
swallowed up. None Of the sextet, it
is declared, were ever seen again. The
first three disappearances, Of which a
record has been kept, occurred within
the first half of the nineteenth century
and were separated by considerable
intervals-the last one being in 1910.
Ten years elapsed and the memory of
the mysterious happenings was wear
ing thin when three more men van
ished in as many days. Since then
the tower has been Stunned as a pes

has remained undiscovered. All the
cases were identical in that the miss

Of San Cristobal detailed for night

legends by the score cling round this
ancient tower, but the mystery sur
rounding the fate of the six luckless
"soldados" remains as deep as ever.

It's far cry from the great under

in sight for New York to the begin
ming Of the street railway traffic in
this city. And yet one needs go back
but comparatively short time, with
in the memory Of some persons now
living, to the day when the first
horse car was seen here. The first
street car line was opened here in
1882, and, according to accepted au-
thorities. it was the first in the
world. The first car was a combina-
ton Of the typical English coach Of
the day and the American omnibus.
This line was failure, and it was
not until 20 years later that the horse
car idea was revived ana short line
was constructed in part Of Sixth ave
nue.. The next important step in the
evolution of transportation methods
in New York was the building OF the
elevated railroad The pioneer road
Of this kind was built in Greenwich
street and was opened in 1857. It
was operated by cables, which ran
underground and over the structure
upon spider wheels IN 1869 small
dummy engines were substituted FOR
