DARING RAILROAD PROPOSITION.
PAY '
ROITE OF TIIK RAILROAD TO KKT WEST.
The sort of railroading which appeals to the public mind, by reason of
its daring and by the new problems which It often presents to the engineer.
Is that through mountain regions, but It baa remained for Henry XI. Flagler,
who has been termed "The Wlurd of Ftortda." to take In hand soma rail
way construction which Is not only unique, but daring to the last degree.
This task Is the extension of his Florida East Coast Railway, which has for
some years been In operation between St. Augnattn and Miami, 154 miles
southwestward and northwestward from tbt latter point to the Important Isl
and of Key West. The construction of the extension la proceeding rapidly.
The road will traverse for a considerable distance a ridge or slight eleva
tion of aalltlc limestone, and passing beyond thla will reach aand, the man
grove, that strange tree which reaches Its roots downward Into the water
from the limbs above being for a long distance the principal vegetation.
Then the road will strike considerable stretches of water, more or less shal
low, but always the foundation will be one of the finest and most sub
stantial Imaginable, namely, coral rock.
The construction will be of the most expensive and durable character,
and everything will make for absolute safety. The first survey was (or a line
to Cape Sable, but when this was made Mr. Flagler found that he waa sixty
miles from Key West and twelve miles from what la known as the three
fathom Une of the gulf. He therefore decided to undertake the greater prop
osition, and so changed the Una from Homestead and la building more nearly
along what may be called the general line of the coast
In a scenic way this road will be notable. The views It will give of those
beautiful southern waters, with all their tenderness of tint, with the scores
of "keys" or Islands and Inlets, great and small, will make It like a voyage In
wonderland. The Une will pass from key to key. and the first deep water it
will strike will be at what la known as Knight's Key, where there will be a
channel thirteen feet In depth.
Several drawbridges will be constructed, some for the use of the small
veasels which are engaged In the sponge fisheries, the seat of the sponge
trade being Key West

The manufacturers of Lancashire,

which la to be both lighted and ope
rated entirely by electricity. The cur
rent is taken from the mains of a
power company. This Is the first es
tablishment of the kind In England,
but there are many mills so operated
In this country.
Attention is called In the Technical
World to the fact that the Introduction
of the vacuum-tube light baa brought
Into existence a new trade that of
"glass plumbing." The glass tubes. In
which the light is produced by an elec
tric current Sowing through a gaseous
conductor, are an inch and three-qua
ters In diameter, and are put up in
lengths of about eight and a half feet
and hermetically aealed III situ. For
the purpose of this work a new set of
glass-blower's Instruments has been
devised, including cutting tools, blow
ers and hand torches, and experta per
form the necessary operations with
surprising rapidity.
Recent experiments In the Depart
ment of Agriculture bars shown that
the former idea that bacteria in gen
eral are not harmed by freezing la un
tenable. On the other hand, the ef
fect of rery low temperatures has been
greatly overestimated. Messrs. Smith
and Swingle have observed as destruc
tive effects upon bacterial life from
the temperature of salt and pounded
Ice aa from that of liquid air. The
critical point aprjears to be somewhere
sbout the freezing-point of water. An
organism which can pass this point In
safety may be proof even against abso
lute zero. A few Individual bacteria
in every culture tried were able to en
dure unharmed the temperature of
; liquid air. This Is believed to be due
1 to the absence of water In the cells.

denta caused vexatious delays while
I gangs of men slowly shoveled off the

whole world, ha recently been con
structed near San r'rauclsco, im
gigantic mill 1 located directly on Ihe
.can beach, near the fsmou. l
rooks. It Is ucd for pumplug water
up Into tiulden list Park.
The huge, strong wooden tower sup
porting the wind srtns rises 1W feet
It Is 40 feet etiusre at the base, se
curely Mchored and gradually tapcra
upward, assuming a round (hape.
Tber are four Immense wootieu
sruis, or vsnes. Ksch arm measures
no feet from the center or bub thus
him king a diameter of 1 feel lu de
scribing the circle. The wind vsnes
sre 0 feet wide and ettend nearly the
entire length of tbe huge arms.
This windmill Is Iocs ted upon a
prominent elevation, o that It lf
catch every available wind arising In
thst section.
This colosssl windmill I rspsble of
developing SO-horse power. Its pump
ing rapacity Is Su'.'M) gallons of wa
ter every twenty four hours.
The wster Is tsken from the wells
and forced through a large Iron main
sixteen Inches In dlsmeier, for nearly
four miles up Into su Immense reser
voir several htrulrvd feet higher thsu
the ocean beach. Prom this renervolr
the water Is distributed in all direc
tions through the park.
Inirlng th dry, hot season th arms
of this giant windmill ar kept whirl
ing dsy and nlgut to supply Ihe thirsty
demsnd. As the mill stands on the
wide, open bceh, there Is rarely, If
ever, any lack of wind: In fact, the
winds ocnalonally blow with sucb vio
lence that the mill Is compelled to le
shut down, as !t would be risky to at
tempt to run It during a fierce gale
