New York Is putting 23,000,000 Under
(round. All that money Is going Into a hole
In the earth. Yet when this puncture of Man
hattan soil, relates Leslie s Weekly, comes
out of tho crudo and takes on definite shape
iu an engineering problem successfully
olved and completed, It wilt ho spoken of
as tho underground rapid-transit system,
and wilt bo tho most startling achievement
ot Us kind that tho world has ever under
taken. London has an underground railway a
tufty, poky affair, with constant elements
of danger and panic attending possible
breakdowns In the raoUvo power. Uoston
has an underground railway neat, cheerful
and handy, and representing a big outlay.
Yet Boston's cherished achievement In this
lino Is puny when compared with tho great
artery ot transportation that will, for tho
tost part, run Just under tho surface of the
busy, throbbing, enormous metropolis of
tho now world. Tho problems to bo worked
ut In Now York they arc already fully
planned nro numerous, vast In extent ot
flfllculty, and requiring every variety of
Specialized knowledge In civil engineering.
In tho first place, there Is a great deal
f popular misconception as tn tho exact
aturo ot this hugo subterranean affair.
Dy many peoplo It Is termed a subway;
till moro call It a tunnol. It Is neither,
wholly. At tho start, and for a considerable
tlutancc, this great artery of travel will bo
what Is proporly called a subway that Is,
an excavation cut down from tho surfaco
and covered over. Over a portion ot the
routo this method of construction would
not do at ull; hero gcnulno tunneling
plosives that will bo required to ao mo
truly herculean work that this situation
calls for. The dlstanco under gTound of
this tunnel will average obout a hundred
feet, going deeper In sonio places.
Prom One Hundred and Fifty-Sixth to
Ono Hundred and Fifty-Eighth thero will
not be a rocky vault overhead. Thero will
bo a cut along these two blocks, whllo the
portal of tho tunnel stands at One Hundred
and Fifty-Eighth street. Tho subway hero
will bo twenty-five feet wide and sixteen
feet high. At One Hundred and Forty-
Eighth street tho passage under the solid
rock begins In earnest. The heading Is nt
present at about One Hundred and Fitly-
Ninth street. Hera tho tunnel runs about
sixty foot below tho surface Temporary
tracks havo been laid for removing tho
broken-off rock, and blasting proceeds as
rapidly as It can be done.
Through Solid Ilopk.
At Ono Hundrod and Eighty-First slreot
a shart has been sunk that In to be a part
of tho tunnel, standing at right angles with
IL This shaft, after thn first rew feet,
has been cut through solid rock, and its
dimensions are thirty-two by fifteen foot,
with a passago leading to tho tunnel. Thero
will bo two clcvntors running In this shaft.
Peoplo loavlng tho trains will tnko the
lift at tho bottom level of the tunnel, and
will bo carried up to tho outer world.
Those taking trains will land at a higher
level, and use stairs to get down to tho
platform. At this point tho tunnel will
be 120 feet underground.
Ono of the most welcome features nbout
tho rapid-transit system will bo tho run
ning of fast express trains. Whllo the
local stations will bo on an avcrngo from
n quarter to a third of a mllo apart, tho
express stations wilt bo nt least a mile
and a half apart. Trains enco under way
can attain to a speed of forty miles an
hour. Local tralnB will do well to roach
a speed between stations of from thirty
to thlrty-flvo miles an hour, and oven the
advantago ot this speed will bo greatly

while farther on, 'up In Harlem, tho tracks
will go over a viaduct ncross Manhattan
valley. A portion of tho road will also
be of tho regulation construction ot an
elovatcd railroad. From beginning to end
t tho road thero Is not a problem known
to railway building that will not havo to bo

lions that havo never como up with tho
builders of ordinary surface railways will
havo to bo (net and settled. In tho sub
ways tho construction will ho of steel and
masonry. In the tunnels thero will bo only
tnaBonry, whllo tho viaducts and "L ' struc
tures will bo wholly ot steel.
The southern terminal station will bo at
city hall. Thence tho underground railway
proceed up Elm strcot to Fourth ave

trcets. That Is a point not yet fully
decided, and will ho a good deal governed
by tho comparative naturo ot difficulties
when (ho engineers reach this point.
Through whatever street tho railway turns,
It will cross over to Uroadway, thenco up
that thoroughfaro and tho Klngsbrldgo
road, stopping at tho brldgo near Van
Cortlandt park. From Ono Hundred and
Ninety-second street the road on tho west
Ido will pass ovor elevated trestles.' At
Ono Hundred and Third street a branch
tunnel will run under Central park, thenco
along Lenox avenue, crossing tho Harlem
river, and passing tho rest of tho way over
quent stops. From tho city hall to Har
lem tho trip by an express train will ro

mottvo power the lights would still glow
out and passengers could tnko to tho track
until tho r.carcst station was reached.
Ventilation ot tho best kind Is assured In
tho subways and tunnels. Tho rapid mo
tlon of trains will tn Itself bo a powerful
factor tn keeping currents of air In ceaso

smoko that makes London's underground

FISH AS A VAI.UAIILIS FOOD.

Another strong point of recommendation
Is tho fact that It Is Icsb stimulating than
other meat. This, coupled with tho knowl
edge that most 11 all Is more easily digested
than other meat, makes It a diet better
suited for brain workers, children, thoso of
noivous temperament and persons ot woak
digestion
All fish, whether fresh water or salt, may
bo broadly divided Into two classes, the
rcd-llcshcd fish of which tbo salmon Is a
type, and which aro rich In fat and thcro-
foro not so digestible, and tho Whlto-tlcshcd
fish. All fish In which tho fatty matter or

but should bo avoided by thoso who do not
possess strong digestion. Mackorel, her

nourishing.

On nccount of tho highly nitrogenous
character of this class of food It Bhould bo
accompanied by an abundance ot starchy
substances In order thnt a proper propor
tion of tho heat-glvlng elements nrc con
sumed with tho flesh formers. Hero again
naturo seems to olnt to n sultablo
combination, nnd elect the whlto po
tato as our moat agreeable nnd valuable
type of starch food; and fish without po
tatoes would Bcern like a man without n
shadow.
Tho popular belief that fish ts an Intel
lectual or brain food has much more than
a modicum of truth In It, although, to
qtioto Louis Agasslz, "llsh Is a food re
freshing to tho organism, especially after
Intellectual labor; but Its mo cannot turn
an Idiot Into n wlso or witty man: never
theless a fish diet cannot ho othcrwtso
than favorable to brnln development.
Phosphorus, which abounds In fish, nnd
Is the element predominant In ncrvo tis

greater degree. Consequently It is not ro

butchers' meat to prevent that dullness
and loss of mental 'activity so distressing

It Is Impossible, to nnmo tho many va

largo cities at nny season. Ench locality
has Its favorites. In tho south wo find
tho sheep's head, shud, Spanish mack

Tho best of fresh-water llsh caught In tho

they keep well, and tho latter Is tho moot
delicate, has fewer bones, but closely ro-
embles shad. Thcso fresh fish trom tho
waters of tho lakes, nro sent to tho coast
markots and xalmon, fresh cod nnd other
cholco vnHctles from tho cost and west
nro transported to tho Interior. Tho long
dlstanco makes theso high In price, however.

Tho first point In selecting Is, of courso,
to choose tho kinds giving tho largest
amount of nourishment, compared bulk
for bulk with other meats, particularly
when llsh Is to substltuto thcso meats In
your dietary. Tho amount of phosphates
In llsh varies nccordlng to tho habits of
tho animal. Thoso hiivlng more muscular

element, tho nitrates; whllo tho most ac

Tho flesh of fresh fish should bo firm
and hard nnd clastic wlion pressed with
tho finger, tho eyes bright and full, tho
scales or skin fresh-looking and gills pale.
Fish In tho grcnt lnkca nro caught In
large nets laid down miles apart, several
days being occupied In laying them and
In hauling In. Often fish In tho first net
aro smothered and have been dead for
como tlmo when they reach the market.
Theso nro unfit for food, and tho meat la

frozen, never allow It to soak In water,
as It will become soft. Clean and wash

Thero Is not a slnglo perplexing feature

where tho subway-top Is but a few feet

case. It a shell were to explode on Impact

The Twentieth
Century Farmer
is an ideal agricultural and family weekly published by The
lino Publishing Company of Omaha, Neb., in magazine form, containing twenty
four pages or more.
It contains departments particularly interesting to the farmer,
devoted to livestock, farm crops, the dairy, poultry yard, orchard and garden, farm
machinery, veterinary topics and irrigation. The market page is one which is both
complete and can be relied upon. Besides this there are a number of special arti
cles each week by the most competent specialists in every branch of agriculture.
The farmer's wife too has her share of space with receipts
and suggestions on cookery, dressmaking, fancy work, care of llowers, and matters
particularly pleasing to her; while the children have a department edited for their
exclusive benefit. Four or live pages ore devoted to a complete review of the news
of the week, covering both the happenings at home nnd abroad, and news in partic
ular interesting to the great farming west.
Everybody in the household will be eager for the stories and
Frank Carpenter's letters, and all the good things that one likes to read after the
lamps are lighted and the day's work is done.
How the Prizes
will be Awarded.
These prizes will be awarded in a contest which any one may
enter in securing subscriptions for The Twentieth Century Fanner. The contest will
begin January 1st, 1901, and will end as soon ns 10,000 orders have been turned in
to the publisher by the contestants.
The person sending in the largest number of orders before
the close of the contest will receive tho first cash prize of 1,000.00. The person
sending in the next highest number will receive the second cash prize of 500.00. The
next five persons having the highest number will each receive a prize of $100.00 each.
In regulnr order the next five will each receive $.r0.00 each and the following ten
will each receive a cash prize of 25.00.
At least 1,000 persons ought to enter this contest. But say
only 400 should enter. It would take only an average of 25 orders for each agent
to make up the number and the one sending in the highest number will get the first
prize, and so on. For this reason send in your orders early.
