UNDERGROUND WONDERS.
subterranean Lakes Connected by n Strong
Continuous Current.

COnthuous OuTTouts
At Zirknitz, in the Austrian Alps,
there is an intermittent lake, that is a
basin which at one season of the year
is filled with water, at another is dried
up and cultivated by the farmers of
the neighborhood. The imperial for
ester has Just examined the construc-
ton of that basin and found in one
part of it an immense cave called Kar-
lovca, which, when tho surface of the
water in the basin has reached GER
tain height begins sucking up the
water until the basin is empty. This
cave leads to a long series of under
ground lakes, all connected with one
another by continuous current. The
forester nayigated the first five of them.
Immense fields Of sand and gravel ac-
cumulate and alternately stop the cur
rent or are carried off by it. The roof
Of the caves in which this system of
waters is located at many places comes
down very low, almost touching the
water, and in such places the moving
gravel beds frequently close the pass
age and cause tho waters to rise in the
higher cave. The forester. with three
companions, was in one OF the lakes
when the entrance was suddenly closed
by mass of rubbish tumbling down
from the roof. For more than eight
hours they worked as hard as they
could until they succeeded in opening
a passage by the side of the main en-
trance, which was happily still found
dry, and they were enabled to reach
the surface unharmed. But their boat
and tools were left behind, and will be
recovered again after the water shall
have subsidized. = Christian at Work.

GROSS ExAG GERATIoN.
MIschicvous Results OF n Dangerous Tend
ency OF the Times.

ency OF the Times.
Exaggoration is literally the hcaping
together of Individual fragments OF
effect till you get something out of all
proportion to the truth; and tho three
influences which arc most frequently
at work in melting to true exaggera-
ton arc humor, passion and morbid
sensationalism. The exaggcrations of
true humor are, of course, not only
usually harmless but often even some
thing better. They point out the dan
gers of a growing tendency to distor-
ton, as when Charles Lamb answered
Coleridge's question: Lamb, did you
ever hear me preachP" by stammer-
ing out: MY dear fellow never
heard you do any thing elser' or
when Dickens made the Yankee apol-
ogist for tho Western postman. who
had absconded with the money in the
Office. boast thai the dcfaulters "an-
swer to the despot and the tyrant is
that his bright 'ome is in tho settln'
SUM-" Exaggorations of that sort in
stead OF misleading. tend by the gro
tesqueness and their point to bring
home truth which, without exaggera-
ton, might be missed. But the exag-
geration of passion is q totally differ
cnt thing, and any thing but harmless.
As it proceeds from state of mind
that has no relation to Justice of
thought, SO it tends to produce
state Of mindF that is absolutely
unjust and to intlame all
tho dangers of critical
situation. Such exaggcrations pro-
ceed from the disposition 10 make the
worst of those who are opposing US

The Carnegies Will Build a Line
From Braddock to the Lakes,
Special to the Globe.
PITTsBURG, Aug. at was author
itlvely stated this morning that Andrew
carnegie and his partners are complet-
Ing arrangements to construct theirown
railroad from the great Edgar Thomp-
son steel plant at Braddock, to the
lakes: This will necessitate the
building Of about sixty miles
OF new road from Braddock
to Minerva, O. There the line will con-
meet with the Cleveland. YOUNGSTOWN d
Alliance railroad, which is already con-
trolled by Carnegie Bros. 81 Co. This
latter line runs to PhalanX, O., on the
New York, Pennsylvania d Ohio rail-
road, within few miles of Lake Erie.
The gap between Phalanx and the
waters edge, will of course, be con-
structed to receive the thousands of tons
OF ore from the lake bargeS, that are
consumed by Carnegle's mammoth fur
naces. Engineers who are acquainted
with the route decided upon state
that there will be no serious natural diff
hcultleS to overcome, and that except
ing the cost of two large bridges, one
spanning the Ohio river at Smiths
Ferry, the construction of the road will
not cost over $4,000 per mile. The
shipments for the Carnegies' furnaces
Will alone keep the road moderately
busy and make it paying institution

DESCRIPTION OF Novel Steam Gen.
orator Recently Invented.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. "A very sue
cessful exhibition was given here yes
terday in the presence of a number of
government officials and others versed
i'll mechanics. of the practical working
of a new and novel steam generator
unique in design, altogether new de-
parture in steam boiler construction.
IhlS new generator is of the sectional
type, and, what appears to be an anom-
ally is tubular boiler without tubes. A
plate OF metal is SO corrugated that when
folded and riveted together it forms
vessel consisting of connecting chan
nels resembling manifolds and tubes.
but without the joints inevitable when
pipes are united in the usual way; so
that in abolishing the joints the places
for leakage and annoyance are avoided.
Inc generator comprises five sect
Ions, has three square feet of crate
surface and Seventy-fve Quare feet of
heating surface, occupies a space of
four and one-fourth feet long, one and
one-half feet wide, by four feet high,
and weighs about 1,S00 pounds. 1t was
Invented and designed by |. McKim
Chase, Well-known master mechanic
of this city to meet the demands of the
progressive use of steam of high pres
sures, especially in the marine practice,
where progress is somewhat retarded by
the want of suitable safe boiler. Mr..
Chase claims this generator meets this
want better than any other, because it
can be made self-contained and avoiding
necessity of brick settings. The sec
tions have been subjected to hydros-
tatic pressure of 600 pounds per square
inch without showing sign of weak
ness, and it is said that 1000 pounds
will not rupture them. Steam was
raised from cold water in twenty min
utes and to 200 pounds in thirty min

Senator Riddleberger Speaks
in Opposition to the Fish
cries Treaty.
Special to the Globe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. - Secretary
Villas to-day rendered a decision in the
celebrated case of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company VS.. Guilford Miller,
which has been pending in the depart
ment of the interior for more than two
years. The decision places Miller's
claim upon a solid legal ground, and not
upon any equitable consideration in his
favor. The order is that the homestead
entry shall remain intact Miller will,
of course, be obliged to prove up as be-
tween him and the United states, and
show his continued homestead residence
and cultivation, and If the railroad COM
pany makes any further contest it must
be in the courts. The opinion is de-
ciSive as to its claims
IN THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
1t is understood that there are about
1000 cases in the general land office
waiting the determination of this case.
The case in which the decision was rem
dered was contest between home
steader and the railroad company.
Miller claimed that he settled upon the
land, which is 100 acres in the eastern
part of Washington territory, in 1878,
and afterwards, in 1884, he made
homestead entry of it. The land lies
within the indemnity limits of ten miles,
between forty and fifty miles distant on
the southeast side from the definitely
located and constructed road of the
Northern Pacific company, and in 1888
the company claimed to
SELECT THIS LAND
for deficiencies in its grant by list of
selections which they filed in the land
ptflce. The company then asked to have
Millers homestead entry cancelled be-
cause it was in conflict with their grant,
The general land office refused to do
this, and the company, more than two
years ago, took an appeal to the secre-
Sary. The case being in doubt, the sec
rotary asked the opinion of the attorney
general, which was given in March,
1887. 1t was not long after this that the
president wrote his famous letter to
Secretary Lamar, in which, although he
took no issue with the attorney general
upon the matter of law, he suggested to
the secretary to consider if it were not
admissible and proper for the secretary
10 disapprove the selection.

RiddIeberger Makes a Lengthy
Speech Against Its Ratifica-
ton.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Aug. AIT the close
of the morning business Senator Riddle
berger took the floor in opposition to the
fishery treaty. He said he was willing
to risk the whole case On the opinion of
Judge Levi Woodbury., Democratic
Jurist of acknowledged ability, who
said that, under the twelfth article,
Canadian fishermen would have right
to participate in all the coast, bay,
sound and river fisheries of the
United States, and that congress
would be precluded from passing any
laws on the subject without the consent
OF the British government. He asserted
that we would never be national gov
eminent until we
HAD WHIPPED ENGLAND
for the third time. Our boosted Monroe
from the face of the earth. In conclud-
ing Mr.. Riddleberger declared that he
would as soon make a treaty of COM
merce with the FIJI Islanders as with
the British government, and that while
the so-called
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
might with propriety make such a
treaty, the Republican party could not
do so.
Mr.. Morgan took the floor, and said
that he could not conceive of more I'M
fortunate situation than for the govern
ment of the United States to make the
declaration Gas opposed to the majority
report, first, that the fisheries relations
OF the two countries were not fit
SUBJECT FOR NEGOTIATION,
and secondly. that the time for negotia-
ton had passed. Commenting upon the
statement in the majority report that
the time for negotiation had passed, Mr..
Morgan characterized it as a piece of
outrageous presumption, and said that
the committee on foreign relations had
no more right to instruct the president
to cease negotiations than it had to re-
quire him
TO RESIGN HIS OFFICE.
He also spoke of the committees ap-
peal to the British government as a
piece of unaccountable presumption
and of affectation of authority and dig
nifty on the part of this committee in
setting itself to advise the British cabi-
net. TO say nothing of the presump-
ton of it, look at the humiliation of
that committee, begging the British
queen for favors, after rejecting a
treaty, on the grounds that she was no
longer entitled to have negotiations in
respect to it.
When Mr.. Morgan concluded, Mr..
Teller obtained the floor, and the treaty
then went over.
The senate bill was passed for an adj
ditional associate justice of the supreme
court of Wyoming, and after brief
secret session the senate at $40 adj
journed.

CHICAGo's CABLE CARS.

An Angry Mob Tired of Having the
Machinery Break Threatens Vio-
lence.
CHICAGO, Aug. "A mob invaded
the general Offices of the North Side
cable road last night, demanding the re-
turn of fares, and threatening to assault
the president of the road, Charles T..
Yerkes, late of Philadelphia, and ia
miliarly known here as Baron Yerkes.
The demonstration occurred when for
the second time within twenty-four
hours the new cable collapsed through
lll-working machinery, and the cars on
the entire system stopped. They were
crowded with thousands homeward
bound. The nickelS had been paid.
and, as the people were tired, many pal
tiently waited for an hour. AS the cal
BILE continued motionless they then dis
embarked and poured down the
Sidewalks. The cabmen, who have
recently been reaping harvest
on the north side, galloped their horses
along the tracks merrily, calling out:
quickly filed. Tab is kept on the cable
by many hackmen, and as soon as a
break is announced they rush along the
line looking for patronage.
The passengers on the long train that
happened to be halted at the corner of
Division and Clark streets, at the head
quarters of the company, gave vent to
their feelings in wholesale profanity. A
fine looking, well-dreSsed old gentle
man declared he would stand 1.-The slow
robbery no longer, and proposed to
get what he paid for or his money. He
started for the cashiers office and was
followed instantly by fifty equally angry
and determined passengers. Cashier
Swartz nervOusly replied to the loud de-
mands that he had only authority to take
in money" The awkward reply infu-
rated the crowd, and yells for "Yerkes"
went up from dozens of threats. By
this time the Office and street was filled
with hundreds of excited citizens.
Fortunately for the officials of the road
they had left. but the secretary and
superintendent of the construction COM
pany were in their Office. They heard
the commotion down stairs, though, and
knew what was coming, for they barred
the door and lost no time in making
their escape by the rear stairway with
as much dignity as circumstances would
allow. While the attention of the
crowd was diverted, the cashier grabbed
up the money box and escaped The
mob fingered for an hour, but finally
dispersed without carrying out their
threats to wreck the company'S Office.
