They Tunneled Into an Old Volcano.

For two months workmen have been
tunneling Red mountain, near Birming-
ham, Ala the object being to allow the
passage of water from the Chawaba river
to Birmingham. A few days ago the
workmen struck a cave. This was soon
passed, leaving small openings on each
side of the tunnel. One day last week
an immense amount of dirt and rock
from above fell in, completely filling the
tunnel for distance of fifty feet When
this had been cleared -nway the work
men found themselves in the center of n
large rockwaliel room. The cave on
the left of the tunnel remained unchanS-
ed, but the opening on the right had ex-
tended until it was about fifty feet in
length and fifteen feet high. Some of
the men started to explore the cave. At
ter few winding passages they came to
an immense opening, the descent of
which was almost perpe dicular. At one
place q spring of clear water was found.
When first discovered, stream was
flowing, but presently it ceased. After
on hour OF two it began again. At the
beginning of these periodical spurts the
water is very col J, but it gets warmer
and warmer, until toward the close it
has attaiuel the boiling point. 1t smells
like sulphur Huge stones were rolled
to the entrance of the pit and pushed IN,
but nobody heard them strike. An en-
gineering expert, who has visited several
extinct craters, says the character OF the
rock and everything about the place IN
dicates that the tunnel has encountered
a section Of the crater of long extinct
volcano. .-B0st9!l Transcript.

Preventing Plague by InnOculatiOn.

The prediction is made by the Nebras-

very far distant when vaccine matter
that will not kill or stunt the young pig
nor communicate to him an infectious
disease, that is, a disease that he can
communicate to other animals, and that
will render the animal immune from
swine plague as certainly as vaccination
with the harmless kline pox will render
human being immune from smallpox,
seems tolarably Ger tain" The news
paper which gives utterance to these
words has been closely watching the ex-
periments of DR.. Billings with virus, and
its confident words strengthen the con-
viction that an important discovery has
been made In Nebraska. DIR. Billings
has carried on his experiments in the
face of hostile criticism, and his theory
of the prevention of swine plague by
innoculation has thus far stood the test
much better than some people were led
to expect. The earnest hope OF DIR.
Billings is to prepare a vaccine matter
that will keep for cheap transportation
from one section of the country to
another. This discovery. says tho jour-
ma, will "belong to the State, and be no

the farmers with vaccine, or make pub
lie the method of preparing it" AS the

covery, the general government is very

Grinding Meal by Steam.

Mr.. G. A. Bell, of the steam mill, has
invented o new process for grinding
meal by steam, that makes it equal to,
if not better than underground meal.
He was grinding away on large order
Yesterday for firm in the city. who
said that they could sell this meal and
have the water-g ground in the house at
the same time. Mr.. Bells invention is
very simple. He first has his corn
dropped into hopper and broken into
grist, or hominy; it is then run up an
elevator and the chaff or husk famed
out, dropped into a conveyor, thence
into the mill, then upstairs IN an eleva-
tor and cleansed, it then comes out into
the bin rs fine as -four, and perfectly
cool. He claims that the cracking pro-
cess takes off all friction and heat, and
saves much OF the nutriment OF the
corn, which is burnt up by the heat
crear,.l by the force necessary to crack
and -rind the corn at once. He says
meal made by this process is sweeter,
finer and goes further than the old pro
cess, and all who have used it prefer it
above all Others He makes the very
best of meal, and it is fast gaining
popular favor. Mr.. Bell has applied

Ii HUNG-CHANG.
The Viceroy of China and Greatest
Man in the Empire.

The emperor of China, writes Frank
Carpenter in one of his entertaining let
ters, is invisible to any barbarian eye,
and if he were not, he is still but boy
and probably knows less about his coun-
try than the least of his officials. The
real Emperor is the Empress--his aunt
and her proud and determined person
alty is known to the outside worll
chiefly through Lii Hung chang. Be-
tween the Empress and the great Nlceroy
there is close political partnership and
an offensive and defensive alliance.
Therefore the presence OF the Vlceroy is
the nearest possible approach for the
foreigner to the throne of China. And
all the world knows that he is one of the
most interesting and powerful men III 1t.
Viceroy of the province OF Chlhll, hence
ex-oflicio the guardian of the gate OF
China, senior of the four grand secreta-
ries of state, formerly grand guardian
of the heir apparent, president of the

first rank, special plenipotentlary times
without number, practical owner OF an
army of 75,0C0 men and fleet which,
so far as wood and iron go, is second to

The Cat rs a Sanitary Inspector.


. According to the Hospital, it was
stroke of genius to find an occupa-
tion in life for the LATEST exquisites
among the domestic animals. The hap
py inspiration came to gentleman, who
had reason to suspect that his house
drains were defective.
He threw the entire establishment
open to the inspection of his cat, and
then poured strong infusion of valer-
ian into tho pipes. Puss, who is fond
of perfume, soon discovered three leaks,
at each of which she established herself
in turn, to enjoy the pungent odor at
her leisure.
Thus not only were the householder's
suspicious confirmed, but the actual

UNREQUITED LOVE.

OF all the bitter feelings that are sent us from

The bitterest of these is that of unrequited

At first, the anguish that you feel is difficult

And desperation fills your soul with thoughts
of suicide.
But calmer councils will prevail, and with

You suffer on III silence, or perhaps you vain
ly try
To drown the throbbings of your heart in
dissipation's whirl;
but those throbbngs never cease until you
get another girl.
