A Strange Discovery.


A sink.hole was recently discovered on
the st. Paul e. Duluth road ut Mission
Creek, by workmen who were raising the
grade. Soon after the filling began the
track sunk nearly out of sight. The track
must have been sustained on mass of
roots and vegetable matter floating on the
water below, and the additional weight
put on the mass broke down the support.
The surface of the swamp is scanned and
cracked in all directions, and in some
places upheaved and turned completely
over. In one place pile Of ties has been
carried forty feet away. In holes that
have been opened sounding lines have been
dropped down thirty-dve feet without
finding bottom, and number of curious
specimens of fish have been caught 1t is
believed there is subterranean river, as
the fisa caught do not live in the swamp

1t is remarkable that in the confined
and bad atmosphere in which the coal
miner lives at least half of his life he
contracts but few naladies. He never
suffers from fever. Still, in the course
of time, the bad air works destruction
to his blood, impoverishing it, and
makes him an easy victim for Hnemia.
The dust arising from the coal does it's
work on chest and lungs If the miner
is seen with the CRIME of his labor
washed from his face, his pallor will be
startling to the stranger. His eyes are
protruding, his form stopped, his gait
uncertain and stumbling. The miner
frequently works in water up to his
knees, and he thinks nothing of it; but
he is in constant fear of taking cold
when in the free, open air. While the
outdoor laborer in the coal regions
congratulates himself that he is not
subject to the hardships nor exposed to
the peri's that the miner is, the miner
rej0ices that he is sheltered from the
inclemency of the weather, from cold
and wind and rain, unlike his less
favored brother, the outdoor laborer!
The miner, as every body knows, is
superstitious and credulous. He be-
