How the Brakes Work.

Said railroad man one day: "I'll
bet not one in hundred Of the people
who travel on railroad trains understand
how the pressure of air is used to apply
the brakes to the train. When the air
brake was first invented the air was
turned into the cylinder under each car
when the car was to be stopped, and the
pressure was exerted to force the brakes
up against the wheels. But at the pre-
sent day the brakes arc held against the
wheels by springs, and the air is turned
into the cylinders to push the brakes
away from the wheels as the train is in
motion. When it IS desired to stop the
train the air is let out and the springs
apply the brake and stop the train.
The last method of using air pressure
has great advantages over the old way
on the score of safety. When an acct
dent happens to train one OF the FIRST
effects it is APT 70 have is to rupture the
air pipes leading from the engine to the
itself stops the train instantly. 1t is
very important for every one TO under
stand this matter, because ? child five
years old can step train n thirty
seconds from any car in the train ii he
simply understands how. ) gu will see,
II you look for it. that there is sort OF
rope projecting from the toilet-roam Of
every car. That connects with the air
pipes under the train. lfyoI catch hold
OF it and give little jerk it will stop the
train before it has gone 200 yards"

The Worlds Largest Tunnel.

An engineering work that has taken
over century to construct can hardly
fail to offer some points of interest in its
history and illustrate the march of events
during the years of its progress. An
instance of this kind is to be found in a
tunnel not along ago completed, but
which was commenced over 100 years
ago. This tunnel, or adit, as it should
be more strictly termed, is at Schemnitz,
in Hungary. Its construction was agreed
upon in 1873, the object being to carry
Off the water from the Schemnitz mines
TO the lowest part of the Gran Valley.
The work is now complete, and it forms
the largest tunnel in the world, being
1927 miles long, or about one mile
longer than st. Gothard, and two and a
half miles longer than Mont Gents.
The hight is 8 feet 10 inches and the
breadth 3 feet inches. This tunnel,
which has taken so long IN making, has
cost very nearly million sterling but it
appears to have been well spcnt-a
least the present generation has no
reason TO grumble, for the saving from
being able to do away with WATERWAYS.
ing appliances amounts to $50, 900 q
Jcar.
There is no further point, however,
worth notice, for if we have the adyan-
tage Of our great graudfathers in the
matter Of mechanical appliances. they
were certainly better off in the price Of
labor. The original contract for the
tunnel made in 1852 was that it should
be completed in 20 years and should
cost $a5 per yard run. For IL years
the work was done at this price. but the
French Revolution enhanced the cost
of labor and materials to such an extent
that for 30 years little progress was
made.
For 10 years following much prog
ress was made, and then the work
dropped for 20 years more, until the
water threatened to drown the mines al
together. Finally the tunnel was COM
pleted in 1888, the remaining part cost
ing Si05 per yard, or more than three
times as much as the original contract
rate.-Omat0 Bee.

Mummies Made to Ordor.

A gentleman wEp has just returned
from an extended foreign tour, was
asked yesterday why he had not brought
home from Egypt, Among other curios,
a mummy. lie said there was great
deal Of fraud in the mummy business.
Persons purchasing mummies, Of course,
like to get them as well preserved and
natural looking as possible, and as those
found are generally in a more or less di-
lapidated condition, vendors have en-
gagged in the business Of manufacturing
bogus mummies. They bargain with
tramps. beggars and such people for
their defunct carcasses, paying therefore
sum sufficient to make their remaining
days short and sweet These fellows are
preserved and picked and then smoked
till they are good limitations of the gem
uine mummy. Whole rows of these ar
ticles can be seen in smokehousesa at once.
When sufficiently dry they are wrapped
in mummy cloth and sold, to Americans,
chiefly, bringing a high price. -POrttord

Robert Emmett King Pardoned by
Governor Morehouse Yes
terday Afternoon.

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, March 7.
Governor Morehouse granted a
pardon yesterday afternoon to EN-
NETT King, who in April, 1886, was
sentenced to the penitentiary for
six years for embezzling $4S, 500
from the Sedalia Savings bank.
The pardon was recommended by
over 5000 citizens of the State, in
Guiding the officers Of the bank
which was b~ankrupted.
From the time of his imprison-
ment King was a model prisoner,
and his release was hailed with de-
light by all familiar with the case.
DIR. w. P. King, father of the un-
fortunate young man, is a very
prominent man in the State, and
the manly course he pursued in
bringing his son back from Canada
and giving him up to the officers OF
the law created a genuine sympa-
thy in favor of the prisoner.
The efforts made in behalfo1
young King we're numerous, and
not confnea~to relatives and
frlendsJ6f the family by any means,
and the general verdict is that
Governor Morehouse was justified
in granting the pardon.

Correspondence OF the Ledger,
CENrRatIA, Mo, March r.
That Centralia Is a good tawn no
one who il acquainted with her
wide-awake, energetic, pushing
business men, or who visits her
busy, bustling streets, can for q
moment doubt. And the best
thing about the, booming little city
is her excellent public school, nm
der the efficient SUPPLEMENTARY
Of Prof. l.. J.. Hall. This truism
was demonstrated conclusively on
the evening of March 2, the oc-
casion being a literary entertain
ment given by the pupils of the
upper grade for the benefit of. the
school library. School entertain
ments, as a rule, are prosy affairs,
with a never-ending programme;
they are only tolerated because the
participants are the children of the
patrons of the school. This one
proved to be a brilliant exception
to the rule. The programme, con-
sisting of vocal and instrumental
music, Rotations and plays, was
short and spicy, and the acting
throughout was highly satisfactory,
when we consider the high grade of
the subject matter that constitute
ed the programme. And then re-
member that scarcely a lesson went
uneenned, or task unperformed
