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.

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

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-

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.

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.”
