Flagler Has Line to Key West Already Partly Completed. CONCRETE ARCHES ABE USED. Novel Engineering Peat Is Described as the Most Eemarkable in the World. . The most remarkable railroad In the world, which Henry M. Tlatrler Is build ing on concrete arches through the shal low waters of the ocean alone the a-ar- land of palm groves that cover the keys soutn or Florida, is now In operation for a distance of eighty-one miles to Knight's Key, and regular trains are running over it Through sleeping cars will be provided from New York and Chicago, and they ultimately will be carried across on a- ferry from Key West to Havana, making the distance In six hours. The railway Is more than half done, and, as the present terminus at Knight's Key has all the facilities for handling the traffic Mr. Flakier decided to place the completed portion in operation and have it earninz the expense of maintenance, at least, while the remainder of the track Is finished to Key West Practically 80 Der cent of all the construction work is done and everything will be ready for throueh trains to Havana by the opening of the tourist season next winter. Knight's Key. the wesent terminus of the Flagler system, Is 109 miles south of Miami, forty-seven miles north of Key West and 115 miles north of Havana. The road between Miami and Knight's Key is built tenty-elght miles upon the main land of Florida and eighty-one miles across and between forty-two keys. For nearly one-half of tne distance the railway track passes over the water on concrete arches. whose foundations rest upon the bottom 'Of the sea. At the town of nomestead. twenty- eight miles south of Miami, the track leaves the continent of North America and starts upon Its way over the ocean. Seventeen miles south of that point it reaches Key Largo, the largest of the keys, which is fifteen miles long, and from there Jumps from key to key by means of massive masonry and em bankments of cement and coral rock. In crossing the deeper channels Beveral drawbridges have been provided to per mit of the passage of vessels. The In tervening water between the forty-two keys varies In width from a few hun dred feet to two miles or more, and In depth from a few Inches to thirty feet. The embankments are rip-rapped with rock to prevent washing, and are defended by piles and every other de vice that the engineers could Invent to protect the roadway from the at tacks of the water, which Is sometimes stirrea up into great violence by the force of the wind. . The track Is thirty one feet above high water, so that the passengers in the railway trains may sit In the windows of Pullman..cars in serenity and have an opportunity of seeing how the Atlantic Ocean look In a gale. - THOSE CONCRETE HOUSES. Eminent Philanthropist Will Build City of Edison Eomes. Working together, Thomas A. Edison, wizard of East Orange, N. J., and Henry Phlpps, a New York millionaire, believe they can solve the tenement house problem. They plan to do this by erecting ai entire city of concrete houses, Mr. Edi son having perfected plans recently whereby, he says, he can build within 12 hours and at a cost of from (1,000 to $1,200 a beautiful nine-room house, suitable for two families. Each apart ment of these double houses can be rented profitably at 17.60 a month, ac cording to Mr. Edison, thus saving to the working man now paying (10 a month for a two-room home In the tene ments, enough money each tnonth to cover his carfare expenses to and from his work. Mr. Phlpps, who in 1005 gave (1,000, 000 for the erection of model tenements In New York Oity, recently spent an afternoon In Mr. Edison's laboratory at East Orange, discussing with him the possibilities of the cement or concrete house. The steel manufacturer was ac companied by a corps , . of architects, builders and concrete experts, who made a careful Investigation of the Edison plana When they left they were enthusiastic over Its possibilities. Mr. Edison purposes to build these houses by forcing a concrete mixture Into cast iron molds, which are to be set up after the excavation for tha basement Is cotnolst OLD FAS MS OF NEW ENGLAND. Italians from Factories , Gradually Repopnlatlnsr Them Prosperous. "The New .York, New Haven and Hartford is at present engaged in a very interesting experiment," writes Broughton Brandenburg in the Techni cal World Magazine, "which, strictly speaking, Is hardly such any longer, as Its efforts have been crowned with suc cess from the beginning. The road cov ers the lower half of New England with an astounding network of lines, and as a result of the opening of the richer lands of the west and south the men who had been tolling on the im poverished New Englanl farms, small and stony, forsook them, took their families and left New England. "The price of land declined until there came to be many farms that could be bought for a dollar an acre and a last a great number that were entirely abandoned. By reason of the road carrying to and fro Italians who bad landed lu New York and wished to go to the cotton mills of Lowell or the shoe shops of Lynn, etc., and Ital ians who had landed In Boston anc" wished to go to New York, the news of these abandoned farms come to be noised about among, the Italians and they began to take them up. "The men would work in the nearest factory and the women and children cultivate the ground. The Italian Is a born irrigator, and now all along the New Haven road can be seen garden like estates that were once abandoned by their previous owners. The road was quick to see the trend of the Ital ians and is bent on encouraging it It Is probuble that a combined agricultur al and Industrial population of Ital ians, Poles and Portuguese, aggregat ing millions in number, will be gained to the territory traversed by the road."

Popular Mechanics. Dream of Science Realised f A dream of science, which has beei. cherished for ages, has recently come 10 close to realization that the world has bad a start, as it were. The arti ficial production of life, at which ex perimenters have aimed, almost since men first entered into any extended knowledge of the elements and of chem Ica action, appears to have been all but accomplished, and, while the man who has conducted the experiments which have shown such remarkable results, makes no loud acclaim over his discov ery, he points to the work he has done tna we can but wonder at It. Artificial plants have been nroduced In test tupes by Prof. Leduc, of Nantes, France," as well as artificial seaweed produced from an artificial cell; also the culture of a single artificial grain. Artificial organs showing mushroom shape are of tremendous Interest as well as the liquid cell tissues. This French scientist, professor in "l'Ecole de Medicine de Nantes," has obtained these curious artificial plants, jells, and tissues from cane sugar, cop per suphate and potassium Ferrocyan Ide, and although they are composed of Inert matter, these Interesting objects ! sprout branch and nourish themselves 'Iks actual living organisms.
