The Elephant Jumbo.

The famous beast, Jumbo, lately killed
in Canada, was twenty-five years old
aud, so far as history has recorded, he
was captured in Africa at a tender age
by a party of Arabs. He was trans.
ported to France, and remained until
three years of age in the Jardin des
Plantes in Paris. From there he came
by devious paths into the Geological
Gardens in London. During his infancy
Jumbo showed no remarkable traits of
character nor was he much bigger than
other elephants of the same age. But
when he attained the age of seven years
his keepers were surprised. to notice that
his appetite began to develop abnor-
mally. A couple of hundred pounds of
hay and n barrel of potatoes were not
much for Jumbo ut his dinner and his
spare hours, like the prudent elephant
that he was, he occupied in ~devouring
all the peanuts and apples that the
children and maids of London could
pay for. Then he began to grow and
added inch after inch to his %stnture,
with the calm Indifference with which
he swallowed bonbons.
Jumbo grew bigger and bigger, and
before he left London was ia feet in
height. Mr.. Barnum had assiduously
studied up the records, and finding that
Jumbo was the biggest elephant on the
face of the earth decided four years ago
to add him to his long line of Circassian
Processes and skeleton men as an at
traction. He made an agreement with
the Geological Garden by which he was
to have the animal for $4,000. But
when the news spread in London that
the pet Of oil the future lords and
ladies of tho land was to join a travelling
American show, a howl of Indignation
was heard in the metropolis, but he was
broughtiaway, nevertheless, and safely
arrived in this country, where for several
years he has been the chief feature OF
Barnum's show.

Ii G Was n /

The mate of the steamer was showing
me over the boat as VIC rushed along
down the great Father of Waters. The
one particular thing that he wanted me
to take notice of was the fact that the
boat was as near fire-proof as a steamboat
could be made. Fire hose was coiled up
all along the various decks, nozzles all
ready to play, and buckets of water
were kept standing in various localities
to drown out incipient fires.

Well, l went off to bed by and by,
but hadn't turned in vet, when some
body shouted ''fre |" as loud as he could
yell. I rushed out. We were bowling
along within fifty feet of the shore, and
away aft there was a bright blaze of
flame n Il rush of smoke. I started
that way, but somebody ran over me,
and [ heard n splash in the water. A
negro ran past me and rangthe bell, and
a second got down a coil of hose, opened
fight ON the fire, and directed matters
so sensibly that the flames were soon
subdued. Then the Captain came aft
and roarcd O t.:

but he was not found. He was the old

Tunneling the E,.....,.

Persons passing the entrances to the
projected Hudson River tunnel on botl
sides of the river cannot but be i'm.
pressed with their appearance, says s
New York paper. The engine house:
and workshops are deserted, the paint
has become blistered by exposure to the
sun and has fallen off in patches, giving
tho buildings the appearance of deserted
barns. The only persons who can be
seen around the enclosures are the
watchmen. They look after the old
tools and answer the questions put to
them by inquisitive visitors. Their reply
to all questions is: 'Don't know, sir
The workmen formerly employed OH
the tunnel call around occasionally and
make inquiries us to when business will
be resumed, but they get little satisfac-
ton, and after being told to-: call in
a week or two they rctrace their steps
homeward. Work was suspended on
November d, 1882, on account Of the
death of President T. w. Park. AT
that time there were over 800 men en-
ploycd. Some few were kept until July
26, 1883, but since that time not a stroke
of work has been done toward the com
pletion of the project. At that time
1,547 feet of the north tunnel on the
Jersey side had been completed. On
the New York side $50 feet of the
north tunnel and twenty-thrcc feet of
the south had been cxcavated. In the
north tunnel there remain 1913 feet to
BE- finished and in the south 5,O12. At
the rate of z feet a day, the average
work accomplished, it would require
$50 days to finish the north tunnel and
TIC to complete the south. Both arc
full of water now, but it would require
only a few days to pump them out.
About 81, 500, 900 has already been OK
pended on the work, and it is estimated
that So, 200, 600 would be required to
complete it. There is a prospect of tho
work being resumed this fall, but unless
sufficient funds are. secured nothing can
be done.

SIT is q great event in the life of an
engineer when he gets a chance to make
come special run that will give him u
accord. and he becomes o special object
of envy. When tho Nickel Plate was
the rival of tho Lake Shore a Nickel
Plate engineer made the run with thirty
cars of stock, leaving Chicago ut the
came hour that the Lake Shore train did
and beating it into Buffalo more than
ten hours. That engineer got pro-
NOTED.
San accident often makes an engi-
neer famous and ssprosperous, and then
ne becomes ansobject2 of envy. Dan
MoGuire, one of the lucklest of men,
was running the front engine of the
double header that pulled the Lake
Shore train the night of the Ashtabula
accident. His engine managed to get
across the bridge just as the train went
down. Tho engine was saved, but
stopped SO near the awful brink that
the tender hung poised over the edge.
This crowning piece of good fortune
called Mcclure into prominence, and
now whenever Vanderbilt's train takes a
Grip over the road Mcclure is generally
chosen tc run IL over his division.
Mcclure, by the way, is quite q promi.
nent slatne among engineers. Sandy
McQuifc, an engineer running ont Of
/. Elmira, N. T., has become famous, no,
only as q good runner, but as the writer
at poetry.
