ABOUT JONAH ANB THE WHALE.
[Salt Lake Tribnne.l |

doctor said a Tribune reporter
yesterday to city minister, "is there
not natural explanation of the
whales swallowing of Jonah y
ayes. In the first place there is
nothing in the Hebrew to show that it
was what we call whale. The word
translated into both the Septuagint
and the new testament by the Greek
'Katos' means simply a sea monster.;
and this word was the one used by
our Lord in his reference to this ac-
count of Jonah (Matthew xii, 39-4D J.
So far. therefore, as the Hebrew or
Greek words are concerned, the fish
may have been n whale, shark, sea
serpent, or any other large monster OF
the deep Hence, there Is nothing In
credible in the statement that Jonah,
upon being thrown into the sea, was
quickly ovcrtaken by sea monster
and swallowed without suffering any
mutilation, providing the monster
known that the waters through which
vessel in sailing from Joppa to any
Spanish port must pass were frequent
ed, in early times, by a specie of shark
called sea-dog, having a throat largo
enough to swallow man whole. The
French naturalist, Laccpcde, in his
'Histoire des Poissens,' states that sea-
dogs have u lower jaw of nearly 8 feet
in somi.circular extent; which enables
us,to understand how they can swal-
low entire animals as large or larger
than ourselves. Blumenbach, the
German zooogist, IN his Manual OF
Natural History is authority for the
additional facts that sca-dogs have
been taken weighing five tons, aud that
horse has been found whole in tho
stomach of sea-dog. And Pliny, bO
A. D., gives an account ofthe skeleton
of sea monster 40 feet long, whose
ribs were higher than those Of an ln'
dian elephant. This skeleton, Pliny
says. was brought from Joppa, a city
of Judea, and exhibited in Rome by
M. Scaurus,'"

Congressman Cannon was billed to
make speech in Speaker Reeds Dis
trict, but the latter called Cannon off,
or in other words fired him, after he
had disgraced himself in the House.
Reed is sharp enough to know that
the straight-laced people OF Maine
would not be apt to give Cannon a
very cordial reception, and that a
speech from him under the circum-
stances would do more harm than
good. 1t must be awfully humiliating
to Cannon to realize that he has fallen
so low that he cannot even do man
like Reed any service. While Cannon
is in very unhappy frame of mind,
Reed himself Is by no means gay and
festive. lie realizes that the next
House will be Democratic by large
majority and that he is very likely to
yet dose of bis own medicine. If be
Is elected, the election Is likely to be
invalidated by the failure OF the Board
of Aldermen of the towns of Bidde
ford and Saco to revise the lists OF
voters as they are required to do by
law, and in that event bis election will
be contested aud he will be prompt
" dumped out of the House, just as
he and his fellow oonspirators have
dumped the Democratic members
Reed fully appreciates the fact that
the country would applaud if he were
served as be has served others, consc-
queniy his aim is to secure, If posi-.
bic, his election by majority so large
as to give no ground for q contest
Reed is now stumping his district foI

walls of the tunnel completed as the
shield progresses. All this work is
done inside the back portion Of the
shield The diameter Of the latter be-
ing six inches greater than that Of the
ron rings renders this possible, but
leaves a space of three inches all
around the tunnel walls entirely open.
This space is filled with cement, which
serves to protect the iron lining and
makes it perfectly solid.
As quickly as a ring is placed in
position and finished the hydraulic
rams are set to work, and, pushing
against the newly finished ring, force
the shield ahead eighteen inches, the
width Of the ring. The rams are
then showed back in their cylinders,
leaving two feet clear for another
nng. Between eight and nine of
these rings are completed every twen-
ty-four hours, or from twelve to fifteen
feet of tunnel finished on each side of
the river every day. All first the pro-
gress was not so rapid, but as the
men became familiar with the work
they acquired speed. When the
shield reached the river bank ii was
deemed safer to put in a bulkhead
and continue the work under COM
pressed air.
The tunnel when completed will
have cost between 100000 and $S,-
100000. Ii will be 6,10O feet long
from portal to portal. From each
portal is an upgrade of more than
half mile. The outside diameter of
the tunnel is twenty-one feet and the
inside diameter twenty feet. The dis
tancc from The Michigan portal to The
river bank is l,700 feet, from the Ca
madam portal to the river bank 2,l00
feet, and under the river. 1880 feet.
The amount of clay excsyated will be
about 100000 cubic feet. About
700 hands are employed IN the various
departments.

RAUM To GO.
Mr.. Harrison Is Worried About Him ana
Says SO.


Washington, Sept 7.--an Intimate
friend of the President said this even
ing that MIR. Harrison said TO him
previous to his departure for Cresson
today, that nothing hitherto during
his incumbcncy Of office had worried
him so much us the case of General
Raum, lie intimated that If an in
vestigation were not in progress he
ould be compelled to ask Raun to
resign on the strength Of Raum's adj
mission Of having borrowed $4,000
from Pension Attorney Lemon after
he, Raum, had been appointed Com
missioner of Pensions.
The President said he had appointed
Raum of his own volition on account
of bis personal knowledge of the man,
aud almost without consultation with
any one. aud he felt personal rcspon.
sibility in the matter, which he would
not otherwise. II would seem from
this that Mr.. Raum's tenure hangs
from very slight thread.

Trouble with Black Ants.

A much larger black or brownish ant
(Camponotus herculeanus var. pennsylva-
nicus) often builds its nests IN dooryards
so close to the houses that it becomes a
great nuisance, overrunning the rooms
and even getting into the clothes, so as to
be a personal discomfort. A case was
brought to my notice two years ago in
Washington, where fine old homestead
was on the point of being sold on account
of the annoyance caused by these ants.
An investigation showed one enormous
nest several feet in diameter in the back
yard, and several colonies here and there
in other parts Of the premises.
The large colony was completely de-
stroyed by the use of bisulphide of carbon.
A teaspoonful was poured down each of a
number of openings, and damp blanket
was thrown over them for a few minutes.
Then, the blanket being removed, the BIZ
sulphide was exploded at the mouth of
each hole by means of light at the end of
a pole. The slight explosions drove the
poisonous fumes down through the under
ground tunnels, killing off the ants in enor-
nous numbers. The main source of the
trouble being thus destroyed, the nuisance
was greatly lessened, and all talk of selling
the old place has ceased.-Dr. C. V. Riley
in Philadelphia North American.

FAT MEN AND INTELLECT.
1t Is a Mistake to Think That Corpu.
lency and Genius Are Antagonistic.


lency and Genius Are Antagonistic.
To certain slender people the association
of intellect with fat will be received with
discredit, perhaps ridicule. They have Wis
tied the dime museums of the country and
have seen the obese ladies and the fat men
there displaying their superabundant col
lection OF adipose tissue, and have gone
away with the idea that fat people, merely
because they are fat, are more stupid and
more deficient in intelligence than people
of average avoirdupois And they have
extended their opinion on this subject,
formed in this way, outside of the dime
museums and applied it to fat people gen.
orally.
Probably, therefore, it will be surprising
to those entertaining this idea to learn that
some of the finest intellects the world has
ever known have been encased in fieshly
caskets plump even to obesity. Napoleon,
notwithstanding his active career, was de-
cidedly plump DR.. johnson was stout
even to tiabbiness. So was his biographi-
cal shadow, Boswell. Balzac the great
French novelist, was so large that it was
pretty bit of exercise to walk around him.
Rosslnl, the composer, was regular
jumbo, since for six years he never
saw his knees. Jules Janin, the prince
of critics, broke every sofa he ever
sat upon; his cheeks and chin protruded
beyond his beard and whiskers. Lablanche,
the Italian singer. was charged three fares
when he travelled. Dumas pere was stout,
and Saint Beuve was provided with the
stomach of Falstaff. Eugene Sue had
such aversion to his growing corpulency
that he drank vinegar to keep it down,
and yet he wrote the Wandering jew"
With these illustrious examples before
them the fat men of the land may reassure
their minds and reply to the jibes of their
friends while proceeding contentedly to
lay on successive layers of adipose.
But it is not necessary to look to history
to furnish notable examples of illustrious
fat men. Here in our own day are plenty
occupying conspicuous positions and as
sisting in the formation of new states and
the making of new laws. In the national
congress of the United States there are
some thirty or forty men whose combined
weights would amount to four or five tons,
or an average of about $50 pounds per
man. And they are all jolly and good nat
ured, too, besides being all men of intellect,
which could seldom be said of an equal
gross weight of lean men. Truly, fat has
its victories as we'll as lean.-Exchange

Something of q Trickster.

He was pretty bright boy-he is min
ister's son, by the way, which explains it
and he got away with designing shop
keeper in way that did credit to his par
entage The dealer had been practicing
some straightforward tricks, and when the
boy strolled in he selected him for a sub
ject
"You see this pebble?" said he as he
rolled it in the palm of his hand. "Now
you don't, but you'll find nickle on the
brim of your hat"
He reached over and took the nickel.
Gust watch this now," he continued. The
boy did so. The pebble was transformed
to nickel.
"Was that my pebble?" inquired the
youth cautiously.
Certainly" was the answer.
Not content with one exhibition of his
smartness he rolled the pebble in his hand
and it disappeared. The boy picked the
nickel off his hat himself and faded out OF
the shop with the remark, eff that was my
pebble, then this must be my nickel" The
proprietor was too much astonished at his
logic to object, and the minister is worldly
enough to enjoy his sons performance and
stop writing his sermon to laugh in his
sleeve at the cuteness of the "chip of the
old block. st. Paul Pioneer Press.

A Good Hone.

A good hone is one of the most valuable
essentials of workman's outfit, and one
of the best methods of making it is the fol-
lowing: Take the best gelatine, which
melts in an equal quantity of water, keep
ing it in the dark, as daylight is injurious
to it. Dissolve IL per cent. of bicarbonate
of potash and add it to the thoroughly
melted gelatine. Then take very fine en-
cry and pulverized flint stones, equal to
nine times the weight of gelatine used, and
mix in thoroughly. Mould the paste to
the desired shape and press it as hard as
possible to consolidate the mass well, after
ward drying it in the sun.-New York
