greatly excited, and held consultation
with Inspector Dilks. He stated that the

ssc ond Avenue. Ths vault, he said, had
been broken open, the caskct was found in
the vault, but the body was missing. In.
spector Dilks at once sent out the following
general order:

Solid Rock as a Conductor of Sound.

The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise
says: 1t now appears from an official
statement made by Mr.. Sutro, that the
header of the Sutro tunnel was l, 1893
feet distant from the point where it will
strike the Savage incline. The state
ment is undoubtedly correct, yet the
workmen in the Savage, at the 1000
level, are able to hear the steam drills
used in the tunnel header SO distinctly
that all have heretofore believed the face
of the tunnel to be no further away than
three hundred feet. 1t was thought i'm
possible that the drills could be heard
to greater distance through solid rock.
At the combination shaft they now say
that they were able to hear blasts fired
in the header of the Sutro tunnel when
it was 1900 feet distant. Afterward,
when the tunnel was opposite to the
shaft, they heard nothing of the blasts,
nor could the men at work in the tunnel
hear those fred in the shaft, and Sutro
finally sent to inquire if they had dis
continued work. It is supposed that the
stratifcation and hardness of the rock
have much to do with the facility with
which it is traversed by sound. Hard
rock no doubt conveys sound to greater
distance than that which is decomposed
and mixed with clay. Sound would also
be likely to follow the qualification. Of
late the header of the Sutro tunnel has
been in much harder rock than that
through which it passed when in the
neighborhood of the combination shaft.
At that point, indeed, the ground found,
both in the shaft and tunnel, was of the
kind called "heavy," being wet, spongy
and much inclined to swell.

Words of Wisdom.

Those who never retract, love them
selves better than the truth.
Half the truth may be lie, in the alb
sence of the other half.
1t is doubtful if any man could by
possibility do his noblest, or think his
deepest, without preparation of suffer
ing.
Advice which, like the snow, softly
falls, dwells the longer upon, and sinks
the deeper into the mind.
Satin's promises are like the meat that
fowlers set before birds, which is not
meant to feed them, but to take them.
If you begin by apologizing for what
cannot be defended, you will end by de-
Tending what cannot be apologized for.
The mere lapse of years is not life,
knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness
and faith alone can give vitality to the
mechanism of existence.
Few men know the force of habit. A
cobweb-a thread-a twine-a rope-a
cable. Venture not upon the first; the
last is nearly past human effort to sun
der.
If you are wise man you will treat
the world as the moon treats it. Show
it only one side of yourself, seldom show
yourself too much at time, and let
what you show be calm, cool and pol
ished. But look at every side of the
world,
