An enormous engineering work is in
process to provide Baltimore with water,
the present supply being bad in quality
and inadequate in quantity. The new
source is to be Gunpowder River, nine
miles from the city, and the water is to
be brought through tunnel seven miles
long. cut through a mountain. This
will be the longest tunnel in America,
circular in shape, and twelve feet in d.
ameter. Five miles of the distance is
very hard rock, and the drilling is done
by manual labor, power drills being i'm
practicable in such small space. The
rest of the way will be bricked. Fifteen
shafts have been sunk. The cost is esti-
mated at $3, 900, 600, about 1900 men
are employed, and the tunnel will prob
ably be completed in three years. The
employees are mainly negroes who live
in miserable log cabins; and the con-
tractor says that his greatest difficulty
is not of an engineering kind, but comes
of drunkenness among these men.
Liquor dealers infest the temporary vii
lagos with portable bars and sell vile
whisky so cheap that the laborers buy
extensively.

A Plucky Ten-year Old.

There is little 10-year-old in the CITY
Prison, who halls from Chicago. His
name is Charley Levine, and, all alone,
friendless and moneyless, he has travel
ed to this city overland. As he sat on
the bench near the wall this afternoon,
his clothing in tatters, his feet incased
in consumptive shoes and no stockings,
and his head surmouted by tremen-
dOus hat, it was easy to believe from his
resOlute tone that he had done what was
said.
SHOW long were you in coming,
Charley?" said the reporter.

Nodding acquiescence, the reporter
left him, and wondered what the fate of the
plucky little youngster would be when,
70 weak, small, and young, he had al
ready travelled thousands of miles un-
lided in search of his mether.-San

The Military Positions.

LONDON, May 16.-There seems to be
two distinct movements progressing in
Asia Minor. One is an advance upon
Erzeroum, with the operations about
Kars as incident thereto; the other is 4
movement upon Van and Bitlis, which
will be the base of further operations
against Diarbekir. Van and Bitlis are
slightly fortified, and dominated by
heights which, in the case of Van, are
traversed by comparatively good and
easy roads. Bitlis, occupies some
what stronger position, but can offer no
serious opposition. The force of Turks
in this district is unknown; if they have
10000 or $4,000 men they might make a
successful stand at Sturt, at the entrance
of the pass, through which a good road
leads from Bitlis to Diarbekir.
On the Danube there has been no in
crease in the Russian forces occupying
the Galatz and REM positions, which are
some 10000 strong. These forces nat
urally keep equal forces of Turks in
line from Silistria- to Tuitcha. Mean
while, the Russian movements show
that they are concentrating the bulk of
their forces between GiurgevO and
NicOpoli in one position. These forces
will form the west of the Russian ad-
vance fronting the Turks from Rust
chuck to Shumla, supported by the
Galatz and REM troops. Other portions
will take center positions, and will be
covered from attack from Widdin, by n
corps, called the Tirnok Valley Corps,
but which is a misnomer so far as it sig
nifies an advance through Servian terri
tory, for the best information is that
Russia, for both political and military
reasons, will not violate Servian terri
tory.
Operations by the Turkish monitors
on the Upper Danube are a mere farce.
These monitors have only 3-4-inch ar
NOR, and are armed with 1-2-centime-
tire guns.
The Russian center is rapidly as
suming shape on the Aluta, and small
detachments have already occupied
Turnee-Maguereli and Islash, so that it
is very probable they intend crossing
the Dannbe at this point to obtain pos
session of three chief passes of the Bal
kans and thus cut off Turkish commun-
ication with the trans-Balkan districts.
The ground between the rivers Iskra,
Vid, and Osma increases in difficulties
toward the south, the mountains becom-
ing more rugged and steep, but east of
these passes of the Balkans is the Val
ley of the Yantra, with the intrenched
and partly fortified town of Tirnova,
the former capital of ancient Bulgaria.
To the westward is another series of
passes, for which Lompalanke, on the
Danube, would be the starting point,
and which converge upon Sophia and
Nisch: The Russians may choose
either of these routes, but it is not likely
they will split up their forces, and, for
many reasons, the first-named would be

Fifty Years Of Wicked Cruelty.

H. T. Sedan, better known as Squire
Sedan, died in Cincinnati recently,
leaving an estate valued at $500, 600.
He left will conveying his entire prop
erty to one son, and cutting off his 9th
er children with pittance. This will
is now subject of contest in the Dis
trict Court. The testimony thus far has
opened to the public an extraordinary
chapter of personal history. 1t shows
that for 90 years he lived in the same
house with his wife without speaking to
her; that he had flourishing families in
various parts of the city whom he main
tanned in luxury, while his own wife and
children lacked for the comforts of life
that during nearly so years of married
life he never gave his wife but so cents
in money, excepting on one occasion
when he paid her 800 to sign a deed.
The story throughout is one of cruelty
and debauchery lasting through half
century. The contestants ask that the
will be set aside on the ground that Sc
dam was of unsound mind at the time it
was made. The case presents many
points of similarity to the famous Sing
er will case, in New York.

1,.tA.r E.sin. Of Destractien.

An ingenious plan by which large
army may be destroyed by one person
without danger to himself has been de-
vised by . French chemist, who intends
proceeding to Constantinople with the
object of obtaining the Sultan's permis-
sion to try the effects of his scheme, in
the first instance, on the Russians in
Roumania. He proposes to effect his
purpose by q system Of land torpedoes
concealed beneath the ground over
which the invaders must march as they
advance towards Turkish territory.
These torpedoes will all be connected to-
gether by wires, and will be exploded
simultaneously at the propermoment by
means of an underground wire carried
to q convenient distance. If successful,
he will make no charge as regards the
destruction of the Russians in ROumania,
but he will require large sum ito be
paid in advance) for performing SIM
liar service as regards the Russian hosts
in Asia Minor.-PdN Mall Gazette.

The question, so often discussed,
whether swallows hibernate, has been
answered in the affirmative by Sir John
McNeill in a letter to his brother-in-law,
the Duke of Argyll, which is published
in recent issue of Nature. Travelling
in Persia, the writer found about twen-
ty-five miles south of Teheran, on the
bank of stream, large number of
holes made by the bank swallows. At
one place in the bank there had been a
land-slip, and between the partially de-
tached portion and the bank itself he
found q number of swallows in DOR
mant state. They were all alive and
breathing, but none of them gave any
signs of consciousness. Subsequent ex-
animation of the holes in the bank
showed that they were full of swallows
in similar condition. They were all
lying snugly with their heads inward,
each head touching the tail of the bird
before it.
AT the zenith of her grandeur Rome
had eleven distinct aqueducts, whose
aggregate discharge was equivalent to a
stream 20 feet wide by six deep, with a
fall six times as rapid as that of the
River Thames. The daily supply was
in the proportion of 1872 gallons to each
and it was distributed to the
palaces ald humble dwellings in every
part of the city, as well as to innumera-
BILE fountains, many public wells and
y.oro raSorvnirs IN tho n,,norOuS baths
and to several artificial lakes, where the
held their naumachiG, or
sham naval battles. These IL cOnsti-
tuted the most extensive and perfect
system of aqueducts that has been pos
sessed by any city even up to the pres
emit time. Their combined length was
over 800 miles, fifty of which were
above ground, either upon low substitute
lures or more imposing arcades. The
loftiest arcade was that belonging to the
Aqua Claudia and the AniO NOvus it
was in one place 100 feet high.

THE only equivalent in the Japanese
language for the English word baptism
or Immersion is soaking. A ludicrous
illustration of its application is the fol-
lowing from the Baptist translation of
the Bible into japanese, which that good
orthodox authority, the Alliance, says
greatly astOnished the Japs: "In those
days came John the soaker, preaching
and soaking of repentance. Repent and
be soaked, every one of YOU"
