HE completion o f a new water
tunnel under a portion o f Chi­
cago discloses some enlightening In­
humation concerning the tremendous
vise and amazing cost o f such under­
takings In large cities.
Constructed In order that some 000,-
000 persons residing In the southwest­
ern part o f the city might “ drink co-
piosly and have more water for Sat­
urday night.’' this tunnel Is horse­
shoe In shape, lined with concrete to
cover all Jagged projections and re­
move nil resistance to water flow, haa
a finished diameter o f 12 feet. Is 6 1-3
miles long— all in solid rock, and, in
the main. 140 feet below the surface
o f the streets.
According to the city engineer, ap­
proximately 1.400.000 pounds o f dyna­
mite were used in blasting. 400.000
cars o f rock excavated and elevated
to the surface and 500.000 bags o f
cement used in lining the tunnel.
The work In the tunnel was carried
on from two shafts— each p lan t elec­
trically operated, consisting o f head-
house. power house, dry room, store­
room. office, blacksmith shop, cement
shed, carpenter shop, rock crasher and

E l C a p ita n
S O E X P IX G the rugged canyon o f
the Merced river to the lorely
ralley o f the Yosemlte In California,
nne comes upon a colossal hunk o f
granite— plain, stern, challenging, and
of such staggering proportions as to
cause suspicion concerning the cor­
rectness o f his vision.
This Is El Capitan— the word a
probable derivation or corruption o f
the India’ name “ Tu-tock-ah-nu lah” —
said to be the largest, loftiest, might­
iest. most glorious rock In creation.
The significance o f this statement ia
apparent when one understands that
the alinost-perpendlcular face o f this
stupendous pile rises 3.600 feet, or
nearly three-quarters o f a mile, toward
the blue sky above from the water In
the tiny river at Its base, while Its
two side walls have an area o f be­
tween three and four hundred acre*.
Opinion differs concerning Its or­
igin. Great floods rushing down the
valley for long |>eriods when the Sierra
Nevada mountains were in the mak­
ing may have scoured away the dirt
and debris nnd left this immovable
rock. Again, a glacier o f untold sise
and age may have ground Its way
down this valley, destroying every­
thing In Its’ patW save this Indestruc­
tible giant. Or the bottom of the val­
ley may have been sunk by an earth­
quake.
The Impression which this monster
rock makes upon one varies with tho
moods o f the weather. A pale moon­
light gives to It an almost ghostly out­
line o f overwhelming Immensity with
a somewhat spooky personality.

Some one recently observed that
Daniel t>efoe, best known as the au­
thor o f “ Robinson Crusoe.” was the
H. G. W ells o f his day, from the
standpoint of prolific writing.
He Is
said to have no leas than 230 hooks

The “Bluet” a Habit
It yon hare fits o f depression, some­
times called “ blues,'’ you are to blame.
Feeling blue la a habit, a psychological
sharp tells us. Blues are caused by
thinking the wrong way. Nearly al­
ways they are due to brooding over re­
mote poasihflltles. Few persons are
blue In the face o f an Immediate diffi­
culty. One way o f thinking Is, “ It will

" I t ’s hound to get worse.”
