KE PLACE OF BRIDGES IN CON NECTING NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK. bmpletion of Borings Under Hudson River—One of Greatest of Engineer ing Feats. I After half a century of speculation n the practicability of tunneling the Judson river from New Jersey to the (land of Manhattan, it is now possi- le to walk dry-shod from Jersey to lew York. The twin bores have been bmpleted; that is, they have been cut ■trough and cased in, though of course bme finishing touches are yet to be lit upon' them. It was a few days go that in the presence of the engi neers, the directors aad a dozen re- Orters, W. G. Oakman, president of be Hudson Companies, split an old rick bulkhead with a hydraulic Jack nd completed the first Manhattan- ersey tunnel system. There was a Ix-inch gap in the wall. A gang of ground hogs” rammed the breach a Ittle wider, and the party crawled brough into New York city. The old wall that was cut through 'as seven feet thick. It is the relic f a former -failure to tunnel the ludson. Twenty-three years ago the hgineers of the old Hudson Company, [ter cutting a considerable distance tider the river, abandoned the enter- rise and walled in the unfinished fork with this brick bulkhead. [Two tube-tunnels run parailel be- teath the Hudson river, the work of bring them being done under direc- pn of the New York and New Jer- ly Railroad Company, but this com- iny entrusted the actual performance [ the work tq the Hudson Companies. [The present tube has been two bars in the course of construction, no tubes will cost when completed lout $13,000,000, and the entire work 111 cost about $30,000,000. It having been proved practicable to tunnel beneath the Hudson river, the Pennsylvania Railroad undertak ing will be pushed rapidly, and it may be expected that in course of time ev ery trunk line coming into Jersey City will have its own tunnel. The East river piercings do not present much of a problem. In less than five years trains ought to be running from Phil adelphia to Boston with no water to be crossed. It is believed that within ten years electric trains will make the trip from Philadelphia to New York in one hour. a WONDERFUL NEW VARIETY WHICH BRINGS THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Mr. Kramer is a Washington florist with large experience iu tlie flower line, many new aud interesting nov elties having originated in his green houses. Among the popular garden roses which he produced are the "Climbing Meteor,” a climbing varie ty with large red blooms; "Champion of the World,” "Robert E. J^e," “F. H.

He has just originated the "Climbing Ameri can Beauty” which will probably be listed by flower-sellers next spring. He recently exhibited in Washington the "F. H. Kramer” carnation—a deep pink sort—which many well-known florists have declared to be the equal of either the "Lawson” or “Fiancee.” He states that no plants of the "Queen Beatrice” rose will be ready for_dlstrlbutfon before the spring of 1907 during which time «• large sum of money will be expended in the erection of hothouses and the cultiva tion and growing of hundreds of thousands of young plants.

Thus he thrusts himself into the pub lic arena, a most unwelcome "butter in,” striving to accomplish the down fall of an historic institution. He is not a true American. He has never tasted “stuffing as mother made it" —the real Simon-pure article, spooned out of the deep recesses of the royal bird in great crumbly masses that fill the room with rich aroma and the heart of man, woman and child with joy unconflned.
