Here again the electric burners gave
full illumination and the men were seen
working as briskly as though totally un-
conscious that every square inch of their
bodies bore a pressure twenty-three
pounds above the normal fifteen, and

The caisson is thirty-six feet long by
twenty wide and ten feet in height, so
that there is ample room to move about.
Excavation is done with hose, through
which is forced strong stream of water.
Two men steer this thing about,
and another follows with the suction end
of the pump pipe, which draws up the
mlre made by the stream in the soft
earth-hence the spout of dirty water
above. This certainly looks like slow
process of digging. but it is the best
scheme yet devised. and works down
about two feet every day. A force of
nine men are in the caisson at one time,
relieving each other with the hose and
pipe every few minutes. At the expira-
ton of every two hours a new shift is
sent down and the old one goes out
for rest of four hours, after which
they return for two hours more
work, and their days toll is
done. Thus man is required to work
but four hours out of twenty-four, and
gets two dollars and fifty cents. There
are fifty-nine men employed in the cais-
son, and work is never for minute,
day or night, Sunday or any other day,
suspended. From time to time the Gals
son with its great load of masonry is
sunk. and the attack on the bowels of
the earth resumed until rock bottom is
reached, where the works end. and the
caisson is left to rest forever.
The visitors return to the surface is
naturally a reverse of the descent-one
climbs up and out. The sensation of re-
lief after a stay of twenty minutes or
half an hour in the caisson is not mark
ed, and the adventurer can store away
the memory of the trip with perfect free
dom from bad feelings, either physical
or mental.-Onadhd Bee.

lCarp, in Cleveland LeaderI
Speaking Of newspapers at Washington,
/ find that people who come here from the
outside are greatly surprised at the ex-
pense which the bureaus here cost. There
is nothing cheap about first-class Wash
ington news bureau, and papers which are
quite shabby at their homes keep up better
establishments here. There are bureaus
here which have several rooms furnished
like parlors, with their Brussels carpets
and their easy chairs, and the ordinary
office with its plain carpet, its numerous
newspaper files, its telephone and call
bells, forms quite contrast to the dark,
uncarpeted rooms of the home editorial
rooms. Many of the offices have special
wires connected with the leading papers of
the country, and their news is sent from
here directly into the news rooms of it's
home Office. Such offices must have special
telegraph dispatcher in addition to their
news force. In some cases a number
of papers combine together to pay for their
Washington work, in which case the cor
respondent who heads the bureau is paid a
very large salary. Millions of words of
telegraph are sent out from here every ses-
sion and all the telegraph companies
have large force of operators here. In
the capitol building there are perhaps q
dozen places from which kilograms can be
sent to any part of the world, and there
are about as many boys carrying messages
about the corridors as there are pages in
the House. Back of both the House and
Senate galleries there are large rooms with
tables for writing where the telegraph in
struments click night and day during a
session with tia long dispatches sent out
by correspondents. The correspondents
do much of their writing at these tables,
and there have been cases in
also a telegrapher, has sat and
listened to the news of his competitor as it
went clicking over the wires. One corre-
spondent of the Post, it is said, had such
an accurate ear that he depended upon
this mode of stealing his news instead of
working for it. But the striking similar
ity of his dispatches to those of the other
correspondents became apparent, and in
order to prevent this the offices were re-
moved for time to another part of the
building. This lazy, but smart corre
spondent, however, got the news, and his
opponents were at loss for q long time
to find out how he did so. They finally
Set a watch upon him and found that he
was daily in the habit of going up over the
House, where the telegraph wires ran. He
had fine sense of touch, and was SO good
a telegrapher that he could read what was
going over the wires by wetting his fingers
and placing them upon them.

SNOW-SHOEING.
Origin of a HeaIthful Custom Among the
Indians.


Indians.
Snow-shoeing is an Indian custom of
long standing. The aborigines found
themselves. long before the advent of
the white man .to the American CONT
nent, unable to traverse the snow-cover-
ed earth, which snow. then as now,
drifted into the smaller valleys and
gullies, rendering travelling over its sur
face dangerous and at times impossible.
This condition of affairs was most char
acteristic of the extreme northern por-
ton of the Northern continent. The
snow fell early in the fall and remained
till late in the spring. The moccasined
feet of the braves sank deep into the
drifts, and even the practiced eyes of the
denizens of the forests were unable to
pick out the scantily-coverede earth from
the equally inviting surface of snow that
covered up small gulley. As result
they formed at first rude bark coverings
for their feet, which, by extending the
surface of their weight over a larger
area, enabled them to scurry over the
surface of the snow-clad earth. By de-
grees they perfected the snow-shoe,
similar in construction, if not in shape,
to the racquet used in lawn-tennis and
the lacrosse club used in the game of
that name. The snow-shoe conformed
to the shape of the foot, and in addition
was extremely light. 1t was easily car
ried, and when on the feet did not mate
rally interfere with locomotion. They
became very popular with the Indian
tribes located in the territory now
known as the Hudson Bay country and
the Northwest Territory, as well as
Canada
Many of the Indians became most
proficient in using the snow-shoes, and
instead of proving an impeachment to
locomotion they increased the natural
gait, so that those accustomed to using
the winter shoes could cover from sixty
to seventy-five miles from the dawning
to the going down of sun. They wore
them during the entire winter season,
and found them not only an assistance
in travelling, but also a source of warm
ness, as the feet were in a measure sep
arated from the snow, and the natural
hest of the lower extremities was thus
not neutralized by close contact with
the cold snow. 1t was soon found that
the wearer was not obliged to assume
any unnatural step or motion in NOV
ing over the snow, but that the natural
step was all that was essential in max
ing the best time with the snow-shoes
A few Indians in each tribe became
most expert in the use of snow-shoes,
and as result the winter sports or
games came to include snow-shoeing as
an essential feature. The aspiring
braves and the young men of each vii
lage began to consider it an accom-
plishment worth the while and dignity
of every Indian, and many contests and
games were arranged to show their skill
and proficiency in this particular. The
snow-shoes were made of the best ma
terial that could be found. The finest
workmanship was expended in their
and the greatest amount
of decoration was not only permitted,
but invited, in their general makeup

ABOUT CHILDREN.
Live Words Uttered by q Careful Observer
of Human Nature.

Live Words Uttered by Careful Observer
of Human Nature.
There is a growing tendency to hasten
the development of children. AS soon
as babe shows intelligence. and notices
persons and things, the parents and 9TH
er members of the family begin to at
tract its attention in various ways, and
talk to it, and lift it about, and shake it,
and call every ones notice to it, and try
to make it talk. and in every way bring
it forward. And after it can walk and
begins to talk, some one is constantly
talking to and teaching it something or
other; and as soon as any one comes in
they begin to show it off. Baby can say
and do so and so, and it is set upon ex-
hibition and made the whole subject of
conversation, and will distract the
attention of roomful of people, max
ing it more or less unpleasant for nearly
all who have to see and hear it.
Now, bright, healthy child is always
a pleasant sight, and should be reasona-
bly, noticed, treated kindly, kept warm
and comfortable, and all it's real needs
supplied, and sufficient means of amuse-
ment provided; but then, let it alone
and not keep constantly frSsing over it,
and giving it an impression that it is
of more consequence and its wants para
mount to all others. Mothers and
grandmothers, and aunts, too, lay the
foundation of great deal of trouble,
vexation and modification often by
injudicious fussing and talking and
meddling. If a child is pretty, every
one can see it plainly enough, and
ought to know better than to comment on
it before or in its hearing, and if it has
pretty and cunning little ways, and
makes now and then cute or wise re-
mark, let the family enjoy them quietly
and unostentatiously, and not tell it
over and over again to every body who
comes in.
Don't you see that is just the way to
make a child pert and forward and self
ish, and eventually to be disliked and
stunned and ridiculcd? While we all
admire and love a nice, modest, we'll
behaved boy or girl, who has been
taught civil and quiet manners at home,
can we repress our disgust when young
people are loud. boisterous, obtrusive
and uncivil? There is altogether too
much crowding and bringing forward
of our little ones, and it is begun even
in the cradle. Too much petting and
comment at home or abroad, will near
~ always ruin the manners and dispo-
sition of little people, whose habits are
being formed and who have not yet the
judgment to discern good from i'll.
Many parents who appear sensible and
well-bred have such defective manage
ment with their children as to make it
impossible for guest to have a mo-
ment's real pleasure in their household.
The most of all such trouble comes by
too much petting and pushing forward
and making of children conspicuous,
foolishly and unwisely. At-least this is
my observation, and / am not on the
sunny side of life. nor am l called an
ascetic.-Queechy.

ELECTRIC STEERING,
A Device Which Will Prove of Great Be
eft to NayiSators.

A Device Which Will Prove of Great Ben
eft to Navigators.
The old war vessel Tallapoosa, which
has been undergoing thorough over.
hauling at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, has
among other improvements been sup
piled with an electrical steering appa-
ratus, by which the ship guides her own
course automatically. The tiller is oper-
ated by compressed air, governed by
electricity from the pilot house, and can
be turned from its extreme starboard to
its extreme port position. or the reverse,
in a fraction less than three seconds.
The automatic action is obtained by
means of an electrical mechanism, which
is attached to the compass at the point
to which it is desired to steer the ves-
sells course. This mechanism holds the
ship to that point, the electric circuit
being opened and shut by the motion of
the vessel. The rudder is thus acted
upon, and corrects any deviation from
the marked course.
The inventor states that the introduc-
ton of electricity into the compass box
has no influence upon the needle; but
great many mariners, we fear, will be
apt to think that this is playing with fire.
The pilot-houSe is further equipped with
an independent hand wheel, by which
the course of the vessel, by the action of
the current upon the compressed air
cylinder, may, when desired. be changed
from the set direction without dis
turbing the automatic device. By means
IF a small electric lever on the bridge,
he officer in charge may, however, take
Instant command of the rudder and
,hange the direction of the vessel at will.
This does away with the man at the
Wheel of our former navigation. AT the
anne time, the control of the ship is
much more perfect.-Scieaatsfc A''ae''t-

and black setter, who is as quick at inter-
preting signals as any of the men about
the depot. Whenever he hears the engine
bell he hastens to his post, no matter where
he is, and will take his place by his master
in the cab with his paws on the window,
watching the track as attentively as the
engineer himself. In his zeal to be up and
doing he will sometimes catch the whistle
rope in his teeth and make the signal for
the crossings. In fact, his admirers say if
he only had hands he could run the engine.
