4 Tunnel Resents Being q Tunnel.

In Cattle District, point about five
miles north of this city, is tunnel thai
may be called an ex-tunnel. 1t is 4
tunnel that demonstrates against a
tunnel. 1t was run about foUf year:
ago into the side of steep hill, and was
originally about forty feet in length.
When in about fifteen feet the tunnel
cut into soft, swelling clay, very diff
cult TO manage. After timbering and
striving against the queer, spongy ma
terial until it had been penetrated some
twenty-five feet, the miners gave up the
fight, as they found it losing game.
Being left to its own devices. the tunnel
proceeded to repair damages. 1t very
plainly showed that itresen ed the whole
business, as its first move was to push
out all the tim5ers and dump them
down the hill. 1t did not stop at that.
but projected from the mouth of the tun-
mel pitch or stopper of clay the full
size OF the excavation. This came out
horizQntallv some eight feet as though
to look about and see what had become
of the miners. when it broke of and
rolled down the slope. In this way il
has been going on until there are some
hundreds of tons of CLAW at the foot of
the hill At first it required only about
a week for plug TO come out and break
off. then a month, and so on. till now
the masses are elected but three or four
times per year, yet the motion continues.
and to-day the tunnel has the better OF
the fight by about four feet.-TIrginid

Kerosene and Diphtheria.

1t is known that blood is purified by
the oxygen inhaled in breathing. The
blood is brought into contact with the
air of the lungs at every pulsation of the
heart The oxygen burns up the dele
ferrous matter in the blood and leaves
it in 4 healthful condition. But if the
air Is deficient in oxygen, this Office is
not performed, and blood poisoning may
result. The conditions in which modern
life differs from that of forty Years ago
consist mainly in much closer houses.
and the substitution of coal for wood.
Beside these. there is in the country dis
tricts the general substitution of kero-
sene for candles. There can be but lit
tie doubt that burning kerosene in close
rooms is very unhealthful. especially if
the light is left to burn through
the night. The offensive smell
which kerosene gives off when burned
low is the least of its evils. 1t may be
that this gas from charred kerosene is
especially injurious to the throat; but
whether the lamp is burned high or low,
whether the offensive smell is or is not
present, the oxygen of the air are ex-
hausted, and the room is filed with car
bolic acid. 1t is noteworthy fact that
malignant diphtheria has mostly pre-
vailed since kerosene was introduced,
snd generally in families where it is
left burning through the night. If
light is needed frequently, il is better to
light it half dozen times through the
night than to leave the lamp burning
The odor of sulphur matches, though
offensive is less injurious than the fumes
