MINING UNDER THE SEA.-There is a
vast copper mine in England, where shafts
extend many hundred yards under the sea.
The moaning of the waves as they dash
against the rocks is forever sounding in
those gloomy aisles. When the storms come,
the sound of the waters become SO terrific
that even the boldest miners cannot stay,
below, but leave their work and come out
upon the earth. Overhead are masses of
bright copper streaming through the gallery
in all directions, traversed by network Of
thin ned veins ofiron, and over all the salt
waters drips down from tiny crevices in
the rock. Immense wealth of metal is con-
tained in these roofs, but no miner dare give
j tanother stroke with the pickaxe. Already
there has been one days work too much
upon it, as huge wedge of wood driven
into the rock hears testimoney. The wedge
is all that keeps back the sea from bursting
in upon them. Yet there are three tiers oI
galleries where men work day by day, not
knowing but at some fatal hour the flood
may be upon them, rendering all escape. as
hopeless as it was in the days of Noah. The
awe-stricken visitor hufries away from the
scene with q heart appalled, in view Of the
hourly dangen. 81
