m. On our second, morning out we saw ris ing in the distance what seemed to be clouds, but before noon we saw they were mountains; the rest of the trip we were either among mountains or in sight of them: as we traveled around them and as I sat and gazed upon them, I. wondered how anyone could see them, then think for a few moments and doubt the existence of a supreme being. Our train was composed of 9 cars, and as we came over the mountains some places we only made 4 miles per hour and had two large rnoun tain engines one with 6 drivers and onewith eight-then we would creep through a tunnel where every tulu6 Time Table of Frisco SOUTH- 103 Passenger, 1 1 101 139 Freight, 149 NORTH. 118 Passenger, Onions per bushel building, with all modern improve p()Und ments.

Tieasnry, Washington, D. C. natting mnuel Ends Meet. It is quite apparent that to dig a tunnel from two sides and make both ends meet is a delicate problem, says Eugene P. Lyle in Everybodys Magaz.ne.

Should they happen not to meet, it would be an expensive wandering iu the mountain to find them anti get them together. But fortunately there is a guide as true and unbendable as mathematics. This is an imaginary straight line between two points. One point is a little observatory shed on the bank of the Khone, with s. spyglass pointing horizontally towards Italy.

The other point is a similar little observatory on the bank of the Doveria in Italy, with a glass towards Switzerland. Between the two points rises the Simplon mountain-mass. But the straight line goes through just the same, for it is only an imaginary straight line. It is, however, steadily turning Into a reality this is the tunnel. And if it were not for the grade of the tunnel, then some day the observatory in Switzerland could look through the mountain at the observatory in Italy.

It will be objected, however, that we went around a curve in the tunnel. In fact, there are two curves, but they do not effect the straight line proposit on. There is a smail tunnel which joins the main tunnel some hundred metres or 109 yards inside. It is called the locating tunnel, and faithfully follows the imaginary straight line. The ma tunnel finishes its curve at this 100 metre point, and thence continues along the straight line to the corresponding curve at the other end, where again the straight line is completed by a second locating tunnel.
