UNDERGROUND LIFE IN
ENGLAND.

The discussions about the Channel
tunnel, and as to the probability of its be-
ing generally used by passengers when
made, have prompted inquiry into the
extent of underground roadways already
existing in Great Britain, and the num-
Der of persons in the country who are
habitually employed at much greater
depth beneath the surface than that to
which travellers under the Straits of Dover
would have to descend. The number of
persons employed underground in all
the mines in Great Britain is 378, Isl.
The length of underground tunneling in
which they work is not less than 5S, 744
miles. This is the estimate of Messrs.
Higson, the mining engineers. As re-
CARDS depth, the channel is nowhere
deeper than 1S0, and the lowest part of
the tunnel would not be below 200 feet
from the surface, or 66A yards. The
greatest depth of the underground tun
nels connected with our coal and other
mines is about $500 feet, and probabi,
the smallest dept 500 feet. From an
engineering point of view, then, the
question of the channel seems to be one
of adding, roughly speaking, only one
thirtieth of l per cent. TO the existing
underground passages. Scientific Am

A WYOMING LYNCHING,

SEATTLE, Wyoming Territory, Jan. 19.
james Sullivan and William Howard
we're arrested here to day on the charge
of numbering Geo. r. Reynold, young
man whom they waylaid and shot. The
prisoners were taken before magistrate
for preliminary examination to day. The
evidence of their guilt was most conclu-
sive, the feeling intense, and at the close
of the examination a committee of safety
forced their way into the court room and
overpowering the officers, took the pris-
oners, Sullivan and Howard. short dis
tanee and hanged them. The bodies
were left suspended, and the crowd,
numbering four hundred, then proceeded
to the county Jail and overcoming the
guards and breaking down the door of
the cell took out Benjamin Payne, who
was confined for the murder of Police
Officer Sears. He was taken to the place
where the bodied of Sullivan and How
ard were suspended and hung. The
bodies were left hanging some time and
then given over to the coroner. The
committee of safety continue their or
ganization and have issued notice that
persons guilty of highway robbery in the
city will, if arrested. receive the penalty
of death IN summary manner.

A GREAT BELL.

A great bell for st. Paul's Cathedral,
In London, was recently cast in Leices-
tershire. 1t will take its place as one of
the heaviest bells in Europe, being
about III tons in weight. The mass of
metal, consisting of pure tin and copper
was about 81 hours in course of melting,
and it was four minutes in running into
the mold. To guard against accidents
the cast iron case for the latter was made
strong enough to bear pressure of 200
tons. There was great anxiety when the
case was being taken to pieces, the clay
mould broken up, and the mighty bell
bit by bit exposed to view. The casting
however, appeared to be smooth and
delicate in surface and outline. It's skin,
as the outward covering is technically
called. showed no flaw of any kind what
ever. The bell is feet 10 inches high
and 9 feet 81 inches in diameter, while
tie thickness of the middle OF the sound
bow is 81 inches. The cost, when rig
ged in the tower, will be about f3, 900.
1t will be used for the first time next
Easter Sunday.

A ROMANCE OF A PRETTY FOOT.

I don't know that there is anything in
the world that is SO we'll calculated to
excite envy as pretty foot, and when a
person can boast of such possession,
he or she is very apt, if poverty dosen't
stand in the way to make the most of it..
A pretty foot is fortune to woman
Last year I made pair of shoes for a
lady who had as pretty feet as ever were
fashioned. 1t was pleasure for me to
make the shoes, and when they were
finished put them in the show window
where [ could view them at my leisure
Pretty soon nicely-dressad gentleman
stopped aud began looking at them very
attentively. Presently he entered the
store and inquired if they were for sale.
l told him no-that they were made for
one of my customers. He looked sur
prised, and asked the lady's name. L
would not give him this much satisfac-
tion, but told him where she lived, how
ever. 1 was considerably surprised to
learn afterwards that he was calling at
the house, and more surprised still when
the lady, accompanied by the gentleman,
called at the store three months later.
She called him "dear" then, so 1 guess

OLIVER CROMWELL'S SALARY.

1649, to accept the post of commander
In n-chief and lieutenant general of ireland
he replied that he would go if he were
sufficiently provided" The following
facts from the calendar of state papers
will show the pecuniary value of the de-
mand, which Was granted: "He requir-
ed in addition to the ordinary salary of a
acknowledgement of Ireland, $15, 900 for
an outfit, $50 day SO long as he remain
ed in England. and $4,000 year upon
his landing in Ireland" Unfortunately
the patent does not state what salary he
actually received as lord lieutenant of
Ireland, but only mentions that he should
have the usual fees. stpends and allow
ances, but judging from other details it
must have been at least S25, 900, and if
SO, his total Income was S65, 900 year,
which, in consideration of the relative
value of money then, would have given
him command of an income worth $780,
600.

REMARKABLE AFRICAN FASHION
N. Y. Mail and Express Darvi

N. Y. Mail and Express Darwin, in
his Descent of Man, sums up some of
the most remarkable fashions in regard
to the persons SIN one part of Africa
the eyelids are colored black in another
the nails are dyed yellow or purple. In
many places the hair is dyed of varied
tints. In different countries the teeth
are stained black, red, blue, ETC., and in
the Malay Archipelago it is considered
shameful to have white teeth like a dog.
Not one great country can be named,
from the polar regions in the north to
New Zealand In the south, in which the
aborigines do not tattoo themselves. In
Kordofan and Cafur it is considered q
great attraction to have bumps on the
body, and to achieve them incisions are
made and salt rubbed in. In the Arab
countries no beauty can be perfect till the
cheeks or temples have been gashed. In
South America mother would be con-
sidered guilty of culpable indifference to
her children if she did not employ artifice
to shape the calf of the leg after the fash
ion of the country. In the Old and New
Worlds the shape of the skull was for
mally modified, during infancy, in the
most extraordinary manner, as is still the
case in many places, and deformities are
considered ornamental" just as pinched
waists and dwarfed feet are with us.

PETROLEUM In SOUTH AMERIoA.-In
parts of Venezuela there are, according
to official reports made to the state de-
partment, many fountains of coal oil.
One has been mentioned out of which
5000 galIans flow every day. Our com
mercial ageut at Maracaibo examined a
sample of this oil and pronounced it to be
of good quality and of the density re.
quired by the British markets. In other
parts of Venezuela petroleum wells are
abundant, and the oil is gathered by la
borers with cloths, from which, when
saturated, the oil is pressed out into
receptacles. The oil is burned in the
houses of the poor of that region. In
the year 1924 the people took great in
terest in these petroleum deposits, and
sent SAMPLES of the oil, which they called
the oil of Colombia, to England, France
and North America. The results were
disappointing, because the method of ex-
tracing kerosene or refining had not
been discovered.

IRELAND.

BELFAST, January 9.-Commissioners
O'Hagan, Little and Vernon, sitting as a
Court of Appeal yesterday delivered
Judgment in the first appeal from the de-
cision of the assistant commissioners un-
der the Land act, who reduced tenants
improved fixed rent lease from f36 10
shillings to ESQ. The question decided
was whether the rent should be varied.
The court affirmed the decision of the
assistant commissioners. Commissioner
Vernon dissented. Great importance is
attached to the judgment, as it settles the
point in the Land act known as "Healy's
clause" The case will be carried to the
court of appeals.
At the Cork assizes to-day, the outlaw
leader, Cornell, pleaded guilty to the
various charges against him. He will be
witness in the other cases in which
members of his bands are defendants at
the time of his arrest, in the latter part
of December, for having arms in the
proclaimed district. Cornell was already
suspected of being the leader of the band
which had committed outrages, rendering
the district of Mill street one of the most
notorious in Ireland, when he was arrest
ed there was also found in possession a
list of persons who had committed of
fenses against the unwritten law of the
Riband society, and who were conse-
quently marked for vengeance. The list
was signed and countersigned with fcti-
tious names and concludes thus:

THE FUEGIANS.

The inhabitants of Terra del Fuego
are described as a remarkable race-re-
markable in so far as they move in the
lowest grades of civilization. The men
are ugly, the women uglier than the men;
and both are copper-colored, have matted
black hair, aud hugh shark like mouths.
Indeed, their mouths must be larger than
those of any other race. Considering
the struggles they have for existance and
the humidity of the atmosphere they live
in, they are more fully feshed than was
anticipated but, like the trees of the
forests, they do not appear long lived,
no old individuals being seen among
them. For some time the manner of
disposing of their dead remained mys-
terry, but woman was found buried I'D a
split in a rock, from which it is inferred
that the dead are placed in splits or cav
erns in rocks and covered with stones.
they made their canoes, but they were
unsuccessful. Portages made of trees
were found, however, over which it was
evident canoes had been carried, and it
was supposed that the canoes were made
in the interior and carried to the shore.
Those who followed the ship did so in
bark canoes, and as each successive port
was reached went ashore, where they
erected for themselves huts of boughs
with skins laid roughly over them. The
huts were too low for person to stand
upright in, and, like those occupied by
Esquimau1, were semi globular.
In spite of the GOODNESS of the climate,
the natives remained almost nude, even
during the winter months, though occa-
sionally some threw sealskins over their
shoulders. They relied upon coatings of
dirt for warmth apart from that they OBJ
tanned by crouching over fires, but were
always shivering with cold outside of
their wigwams. So long as they were
supplied from the ship with provisions
and these frequently disagreed with
them they would not fish, neither
would they work, being in this respect
closely akin to their congeuers, the Aus
tralian aboriginals. Though they have
fires, they seem too indolent to cook
much, and frequently eat their seal flesh
an natural, even when it is decomposed.
Those on board the vessels were mild
hammered, but given to annexing articles
belonging to the sailors, and on this ac-
count close watch was kept upon them.
Generally the race are suspicious of
strangers, and until their confidence in
them is thoroughly established the wo-
men are always sent inland. When their
suspicious are dispelled they mingle with
Europeans freely enough.

ATTACKED BY BRIGANDS.

A band of Mexican brigands under
took to rob stage coach, but instead oi
finding coach full of frightened pas
sengers who submitted to robbery, as is
usual in Mexico, they caught two Tartars.
The story is told by the Texas Sentry,
as follows:
Among the half dozen passengers who
occupied the stage coach that left the
Mexican town of Guanajuato, bound
south, at 8 o'clock on the morning of the
10th ult., We're two young Americans
Frank Senter and George Green.
The air was cold, but the men from
the states sat on the top of the coach
having beside them two Wincheste,
rifles and a quantity of ammunition.
The precautionary measure proved 6
wise one, for just at daybreak harum
scarum trample of horses was heard
along the roadside, the musket balls
whizzed one after another over thei,
heads. and the demand to surrender
came in hoarse, emphatic tones.
The driver, as though paralyzed, stop
ped the mule instantly. Some twenty
banditti were seen in the dim light
much more clearly than were Sir Jacks
mensin buckram-and every highwaymar
had his gun unslung.
But no sooner had Senter and Green
lifted their rifles than two of the robbers
fell, at which unexpected resistance the
whole troop retreated in a hurry. The
plucky lads pulled off their coats and
got ready for second attack, which
came in moment, the Mexicans charg-
ing with yell like that of the Conan
ches, and just as blood-curdling.
A wilder sight has rarely been seen.
No less than six of these charges were
made, the quiet intervals being of a few
seconds duration only.
Green was shot In the shoulder, but
kept his post, and flesh wound made
Senter that much the more positive in
his resistance. Both bent over on the
top of the coach, their heads close to-
gethcr, and their breath thick and fast.
When the robbers at last withdrew
they left five of their number lying on
the ground, and the bodies of four horses
blocked the way. After the fight Senter
took survey of the inside of the coach
One Of the passengers, Spaniard,
had thrown his revolver out of the win
dow; another, Mexican, had wrapped
his head in blanket, and lady passen
ger had spent the trying time on her
knees.

A MOSAIC OF PRES. GARFIELD

When Abraham Lincoln was assassin
ated, the illustrious italian artist, Com
mendatore Salviati, of Venice, in order
to express the sympathy of the Italian
people, and of the .Venetians especially,
presented to the capitol at Washington a
superb mosaic portrait of the regretted
President, so that his likeness should
endure for ages to come; for nothing can
exceed the durability of the Venetian
glass mosaics, which last for centuries as
fresh and beautiful as when first execut-
ed. Touched by the sad fate of Pres
ident Garfield, Dr. Salviati has once
more determined to offer as an homage
to America one of his masterpieces, a
companion to Lincoln's portrait, whick
will eventually be placed in the capitol.
fine oil painting is being prepared in
New York of the ever-to-be-regretted
President. When it is finished it will be
sent to Venice, where the famous mo-
saicists of the world famous Murano es-
tablishment will be set at once to work
to copy it in mosaic. This graceful act
on the part of the eminent Venetian ar
tist cannot fail to awaken a curious feel
ing of gratitude among Americ aus, es-
pecially am ong those who have chanced
to visit the renowned fabrica on the Isle
of Murano, and who have seen manufas-
tured those marvellous vases and cups
which rival the work of fairies, and those
splen iid-nay, gorgeous-mosaics which
now ambellish SO many of Europe's no.

VAST SODA DEPOSITS.

A few days ago the writer took ride
of fifteen miles along the line of the
railway now building behind thorough
belonging to one of the cattle kings of
the plains. The destination was the
soda lakes, which the Union Pacific
Railway propose to develop, and next
spring will establish large works. The
/ track will be laid this winter to trans
port material for building and machin-
cry. At the first sight of the lakes,
which are about 100 acres in extent,
white in places and in others dark blue,
person would suppose it was nothing
but ice. In reality it is solid bed of
crystalized soda, nine feet thick-5O, ,O0O-
900 cubic feet of chemically pure sui
phate of soda. And all this material is
ready to be utilized and what the world
wants. The writer is indebted to Hon.
s. W. Downey, ex-member of congress
for Wyoming, for information in regard
to the great wealth of these soda de
; postis.
To show their value I may state at the
outset that the soda consumption of the
United States amounts to 250, 900, 600
pounds a year, imported at a cost of $50
/ per ton in gold. At the highest figures
/! for working, the same can be laid down
on the railway platform in Laramie for
| Sl9. And again, looking at this outlay
of 81, 900, 900 yearly, we must consider
that We have a better article, of purer
quality, and in inexhaustible supply.
Whenever a block is taken from the
lakes the place is filled in a few hours
from the springs below, which are con
| tinually sending up new deposit from
| the bottom, the water as it reaches the
surface evaporating and leaving the salts
and crystals. Carbonate of soda is most
valuable, although the sulphate, as
found here in its natural state, is of great
importance on account of its use in the
arts. 1t is not improbable that large
glass works will be established here, as
an abundant amount of sand can be had
from the Laramie River, and this soda,
not having trace of iron, can supply
the material for the finest plate glass.
Mr.. With, chemist of Pittsburg, who
is a scientist recognized by the great
glass manufacturers, gives the following
analysis, and says: 81 have carefully
examined the crys.alized specimens of
glauber salts from the soda lakes of Wy
oming and found them to contain A per
cent of sulphate of soda, and for the
manufacture of window glass chemically
pure and absolutely free from iron. The
glaubsr salts now used here contain Is
per cent. of iron, which needs refining
before it can be used. All manufactur-
ers of plate glass would prefer the pure
article of Wyoming"
