suitable length, or it may be length of
metal or other sui table material, the edges
of which are planed or made perfectly
level and true one with the other. In the
center dial is let in or mounted, arranged
with divisions to indicate the level or

the levelling instrument is placed. A
pointer is mounted upon an axis in the
center of the dial, the opposite end of the
pointer being weighted SO as to cause it to
assume perpendicular position at all
times by its own gravity, and thus indicate

A MUSHROOM OF THE MINES.
THE WONDERFUL RISE OF CITY Twt
MILES UP IN THE AIR.

THE WONDERFUL RISE OF CITY TWO
MILES UP IN THE AIR.
Leadville, Lake county, Colors 10, is the
highest, newest, and for it's size the noisiest
city on the continent. 1t is what miners
call rattling camp. 1t is close up to the
snowy range overlooking California gulch,
the scene of the gold hunting furore in '59.
At an altitude of about nine thousa I'D feet,
or, to put it more forcibly, nearly two
miles higher than New York, it may be
considered rs well up in the world. There
is no place like it in the whole Rocky Noun
tans. 1t is a larger city than Deadwood
on the north, or Sail Lake on the south.
The twenty year old towns of Black Hawk,
Central or Georgetown are nothing to it in
population, trade. fast money making or
fast anything. Where Leadville now
stands was a year ago almost howllng
wilderness. There were few prospect
ors busying themselves with turning the
rocks up here there, but there was hardly
what could be called a camp. No town
had been staked out. 1t was not until last
spring that the town was organized and
named. From that TINA until now people
have poured in from the surrounding coun-
try, from the far east and from the Pacific
States, until there is bustling city of
5,C0) inhabitants. 1t has a mayor, city
council, fire and police departments,
churches, schools, telegraph line, daily
mails, a telegraph line, money order post
Office, two new spapers, thre3 banks, and
hundreds of stores. shops, saloons and 9TH
er features of fast new city. The STREETS
have sort of struggling regularity. The
principal thorcughfares are named Chest
nut, Pine, State and Harrison avenues.
Almost everything is cheaply built, the
stores which carrysthe largest stocks being
mere nahins4 IA. ra a faSp stnrvs and d
half and two story buildings. Lumber is
in great demand, and the three or four saw
mills in the vicinity are not adequate to
supply the need. Lately business men
have begun to plan larger and better struct-
ures. brick yards have been started, and
some fine blocks are under way. The pre-
vailing spirits that Of rampant specula-
tion People stake out claims, tear up the
rocks little, sometimes salt little, get
some plausible do-nothing to talk up the
discovery, and shut few days before an
tander-foot cat ;bes the bait at
a high figure. Lot brokers, who have the
refusal of most all the desiderable property
in town, lot jumpers and city add

partakes of the nature of

away by the excitement, end, no longer
satisfied with the ploddlng and sure-footed
business ways, seem lost in mad, furious
chase for fortunes. Of course, saloons,
dance houses thsatles and keno dens
flourish in such place as this.

THE GIBRALTAR TUNNEL.-The pro-
posed tunnel between Spain and Africa is
still before the public. This tunnel, ac-
cording to the plan at present contemplated,
is to extend from within a short distance of
Algeciras, on the Spanish side, to between
Tangier and Ceuta ON the African side.
The length of the submarine tunnel will be
nine miles, with an inclination of one foot
per hundred, and the approaches will have
an extent of six or seven miles. The
greatest depth of the sea is 5000 feet and,
as it is intended to have a thickness of some
800 feet of rock left between the roof of the
tunnel and the sea bottom, the greatest
depth of the tunnel viii thus be $500 feet
below the level Of the sea.-AmerscaB

TIMES CHANGES

Ever and ever SO long ago.
How things will change as time goes by!-
We wandered down to the foot of the hill,
My black-eyed love and 1.
Roses climed DER the gray stone wall
Ever and ever and ever so long ago;
He plucked the sweetest one of all,
And vowed that he loved me So
And loved him, or thought did
How things will change as time goes by!-
BE said he should die if we must part;
And SO, indeed, thought 1,
Till, far away meath Eastern skies,
Ever and ever so long ago,
met another, with sky. blue eyes,
And loved him, know
The years went on, and stood again.
How things will change as time goes by!-
Gathering herbs at the foot of the hill
And my Old love came by,
Catnip grew where the roses twined
Ever and ever 30 long ago,
{" His baby had collie the awfullest Kind
He guessed, for 1t worried so.'
Together we picked the catnip-stalks =
How things will change as time goes by!
He said was looking thin and old;
And so of him thought l.
We spoke no word of all that passed
Ever and ever so long ago,
But gathered the herbs, and hurried fast
To the babes that worried so.

the money was raked in.
The strangers departed, each vigorously
asserting that he wasn't afraid to trust the
saloonist, and they were not seen again
until yesterday, forenoon. They then ap-
peared to remark:
"We were talking the thing over, and
have concluded to withdraw the bet, 1t

will hand over nine dollars we'n call it

he threw them out the two flves they had
left, sly twinkle in his eye, and as they
slid out he called after them:

But they won't. The two bills were base
counterfeits, and they didn't get mixed up
with his honest cash.
