The Walking Gait.

The london Ltcs Stool Journal says:
"A fast walking horse, getting over the
ground 30 much quicker, would represent
90 much more ground plowed than that
accomplished by Q slow-walking horse,
thereby reducing very much farmers
expenditure in that somewhat large item
wages. This being of such vital i'm.
portance to farmers, It 10 matter OF great
wonder that they should not hitherto
have recognized that fact and taken steps
to provide themselves with fast. walking
horses, whose education in this branch
had not been entirely neglecte. and 70
have bred from the best Performer OF
both sexes, % - in time to form . breed
of East. walkers in the same gay that
Americans have formed . breed Of trot-
ters, % renovued for their speed - to
defy the world. They began BY hrst
educating their horss TO trot, and then,
By . judicious selection Of sires and
dana, to found Q rscs Of trottsss. Why
do NOT the farmers In this coantsy do the

SUMMARY,

To this remarkable aggregate of works
that burrow underground, must be add
ed the greatest mining tunnel yet built,
or projected. This is the Sutro Tunnel,
built to facilitate mining in the famous
Comstock lode, where mines are sunk to
the depth of 1890 feet. The Sutro Tun-
mel was began Oct. 10, 1869, and went
very slowly until machine drilling was
used. The length of the work is 30,
feet, or nearly four miles. 1t will cost
nearly 100000 by the time tracks are
down and transportation begins.
Aud still the old countries beat even
this, at least in length; for there is
tunnel called the Rothschonberg Adit,
made to bring water from Freiberg
mines to the Elbe, near Meissan, that is
thirty-one and a-hslf English miles in
length. 1t is, however, of small bore
for SO great gun, its height being lit
tie less than ten feet, and the width less
still. 1t is something like our Croton
Aqaeduct.-Nrs York Mall.

tonishment not conceiving what was to come
of this, when 10 ! a leg came tumbling down
out OF the air One of the conjuring COM
pany instantly snatched it up and threw it
into basket. A moment after hand came
down, and Immediately on that another leg.
And in short time all the members of the
body came thus successfully tumbling from
the air, and were cast together into the bas-
ket. The last fragment of all we saw come
down was the head and no sooner had that
touched the ground than he who had snatch
ed up all the limbs and put them into the
basket turned them all out again topsy turvy.
And straightway | saw with these eyes all
those limbs creep together again and in
short time form whole man, who stood up
and walked about without showing the least
damage. Never in my life Vas SO astonish-
ed as when beheld this wonderful perform
ance, and doubted now no longer that these
misguided men did it by the help of the de-

when he showed me something of that kind.
They gdre me q cordial, hOtrtrer, trhich cured

me, and quoth he "li'dlah It's my opinion
there has been neither going up nor coming
down, neither marring nor mending It's all
hocus pocus = which was n wise conclusion
to come to.
When the evidence of eye-witnesses is too

with northwesterly trend. The ore
body averages seven-eights of mile wide
by one mile and half in length, is OF
irregular shape and unknown depth. The
mining done by the Spaniards and Peru
yians has all been in the surface deposit,
and really amounts to nothing more than
prospecting in these days. Their deepest
Shaft is only $50 feet below the surface,
and has been sunk through the decom-
posed rock forming the surface ore. The
shafts vary in actual depth from the sur
face, which is irregular, but they are all
sunk to the same water level. The un
stable character of the formation in which
these shafts were worked caused many
accidents, and working in the old Spanish
mines of Cerro de Pasco was decidedly
dangerous occupation. The surface to-
day is honeycombed with deep and ex-
tensive sinks or tdjOS, where the mines
have fallen in, and many 4 miners bones
are intombed in these great sepulchres.
The most terrible of these accidents oc-
CURED in 17l0 when 800 persons were
buried alive beneath the root of mine
through the giving away OF the support
ing timbers. All of the top deposit in
this district of a square mile is what
miners call pay dirt-that is. it is decom-
posed rock containing free milling ore
that averages $40 to s45 per ton. The
ore remaining in this surface deposit of
decomposed rock is sufficient in quantity
to run all the mills in Nevada at their full
capacity for $50 years.
Below the depths to which the Spanish
miners worked their shafts, the diamond
drill has been used to prospect the mines.
The rock is hard and uniform in character,
averaging about SlG5 to the ton in the
assaving. Pockets are frequently struck
yielding ore that contains from so to so
per cent. OF silver.
Prot Raimondi, who has conducted
scientific explorations in Peru for many
years, is of the opinion that the coal fields
OF the Huaraz valley will prove TO be the
most extensive in the world. The coal is
principally semi-anthracite, although can
mel and bituminous coal have been found
in considerable quantities in the interior.
