A very interesting bit of tunneling
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York The heading was being run in
rock and at one point test holes
showed thickness of only eight
inches of sound dry rock above the
line along which the top of the tunnel
was to ran. AS the tunnel was being
driven without the use of compressed
air it was decided to drop the upper
heading four feet until this thin cover
of rock was passed. The cast iron
lining was set in place at each side
of this section and then the rock was
removed very carefully by using a
great many holes each loaded with
about one-eighth of a stick Of dyna-
mite. AS each bit of rock was removed
the arch of the tunnel lining was set
in place. By this means the dangerous
section was tunneled without breaking
through the thin shell.-Scientitic

WINGS FOR MRS. VANDERBILT
Soldier Admired Spirit Of His Enter
tainer, but Couldn't Quite
Credit the Rest

Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt tells this story
on herself:
Size was doing canteen work In
France during the recent misunder-
standing in that vicinity, and devoted
considerable time to entertaining
American soldiers in one of the hostess
houses. Being an excellent dancer
and attractive, she was in much de-
mand among the boys. One evening
she danced several times with a tall
tow-haired doughboy who showed
symptoms Of great loneliness and
talked volubly about things in Michi-
gan.
When the evening was ended, the
tow-haired one came over to Mrs.
Vanderbilt.
"Ive had bully time" he said,
"and I want to keep track of you.
We're moving out of here tomorrow,
for the front. But if we get back, I'd
like to look you up over in the States.
My name is Albert Bridgeman, from
Grand Rapids. What's yoUrs?'
I'm Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt" she re-
piled.
The doughboy scanned her from
head to foot

NEWSPAPERS DON'T TELL ALL
Az a Matter Of Fact, World Must Not
Be Judged by What One May
See In Print.

Through all civilized countries folks
spend lot of their time just read
ing the papers. And it is all right,
too. Everybody reads the papers.
But one must be careful to keep
ones equilibrium at the same time. We
must not make the mistake Of sup
posing that there is nothing else going
on In the world except that which the
papers print.
The papers publish only the news
that is startling or sensational. Nat
urally, that's all they publish. What
ever Is unusual, out of the ordinary,
something that astonishes one-these
things are what the papers print.
If you were to go into a newspa-
per Office with an item, say, about a
man who had reared his family care
fully, sent them to school and had
paid the mortgage off his home, the
editor wouldn't put that piece in the
paper because there Is nothing unusual
about it.
But If the item were about man
who refused to work to support his
family, and who beat his wife over the
head with club, and who chased them
all out in the middle of the
night in the rain, then the editor would
say it was news"
So, you see, it is mostly the trou-
bles of the world, It's seamy side, its
crime and suffering and squalor that
get into the papers.
Yet, there is the worlds other side,
thank God-its bright side, its love
and gladness and charity and the help
that one man gives another.
Read the papers, of course. But,
when you read them do not get the
idea into your head that the world Is
plunging headlong to perdition, be-
cause such is not the case.-Utica

GAINESVILLE is
READY TO DEFRAY
PART ROAD COST
URGING PALATKA AND PUTNAM
COUNTY TO HELP IN TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF STATE AID
FOR ROAD BETWEEN TWO
COUNTY CAPyTALS-COUNCIL
is ASKED TO DO ITS SHARE.

Gainesville and Alachua county
have offered to pay half of the en-
tire cost of a hard surfaced road be-
tween Palatka and Gainesville if Pa
latka and Putnam county will pay
half. If Palatka and Putnam coun-
ty accept this offer, and enter into
an agreement with the Alachu cour.-
ty good road enthusiasts the state
road commission will appropriate
100000 toward the project.
This liberal proposition was brought
to Palatka this morning by County
Commissioner Worley, who has just
returned from Gainesville, where he
went on invitation of the commits
sioners in that county and members
of the city council.
The proposition follows the effort
which DR.. A. NJ. Steen made to inter-
est the council in the matter at its
last meeting, when twas not known
that Alachua county and Gainesville
would do more than their share to-
warsd having the road built.
All that the city of Palatka is ask
ed to is to extend its paved streets
out to the city limis connecting up
with the road to Hawthorne. There
the county will take up the work,
provided the voters approve the bond
issue and carry it on to meet Gaines
vile and Alachua county half way.
The distance of the road will be
about forty-four miles, seventeen in
Alachua county and twenty-seven
miles in Putnam. Under the propo-
sition made by Alachua that county
will pay for the construction of TWEEN
ty-two miles of this road and Putnam
county twenty-five miles. This
road would open up the way for a
hard paved road all the way from the

EASTERN POETRY RANKS HIGH
Fine Order of Literature Frequently
Evolved by Writers of the Orient,
Says WelI-known Author.

Many persons seem to think that the
poetic literature of the East is fitted
to yield only a barren crop Of VERDI
age, or a tawdry mass. of sentimental
extravaganza. Ii often has these char
acteristics. 1t also possesses all kinds
of wealth, in their most exalted de-
grees, and in their most wonderful
profusiOn. The poetry of the unimag-
NATIVE Chinese is noticeable for eth
zeal good senSe-a wholesome vein Of
hOmely truth. Its beat is Circum-
scribed In the ranges Of practical ex-
perience. The muse Of China is a
ground sparrow. With the Arabs . :.
their ideas seem to be transmitted in
to sensations. SanScrit and Hindosta-
nee poetry is characterized, in its
most peculiar phases, by an unrivaled
idealizatiOn. Imagination often takes
the reins from Judgment and runs riot
and language breaks into blossom
ing wilderness of metaphor. But the
richness and originality of the result
are frequently grand and exhilarating.
The most distinctive Persian poetry
exhibits an exquisite delicacy of sense
elsewhere unparalleled, a vast and
ethereal play Of fancy and sentiment,
fetterleSs jubilancy Of reason and
faith, the very transcendentalism of
wit.-William r. Alger, in '"The Poetry
of the Orient"

The EIXind Era.

Mail-carrying airplaneS are already
an old story, writes A. Russell Bond,
in Inventions of the Great War" In
Europe the big bombing machines are
being used for passenger service be-
tween cities. There is an air line
between Paris and London. The air.
planes carry from dozen to as many
as 80 passengers on a single trip. In
some cities here, as well as abroad,
the police are being trained to fly, so
that they can police the heavens when
the public takes to wings. Evidently,
the flying era is here.

His Desire.

Last autumn Roland was much in
