as they have done ever since their NUN
Der was first recorded.
The underground retreat Is described
rs follows:
The tornado cave offers absolute secu. ity to
life and limb, and no means of protection can w
place 1t for that purpose. This retreat may be
constructed as a cellar cave or as n dug out. In
the former al excavation IL made In the
west wall OF the cellar, level with the floor,
and is carried underground q distance sufficient
to provide comfortable quarters for those who
propose to occupy the cave. The overhanging
earth must be supported by heavy timbers, and
then arched over with masonry Of brick or
stone This extra precaution concerning the
roof Is necessary to provide against any serious
damage to it by failing timbcrs or heavy masses
Of debris. The excavation Is made into the west
wall, because the storm, always approaching
from the west will garry the debris away from
that side. The ddly out Is a tornado cave not
necessarily connected with any building. All
houses not furSished with cellars, ana, more
over, a tornado cavs Is sometimes required where
there are buildings, at least where they are
not SO situated as TO make connection with the

A baggage Lifting Machine.

Why not? The Saratoga trunk has
now reached its maximum. 1t is 30 big
that nothing short of an elephant is equal
to the task of handling it easily. Great
heaps Of these trunks are piled mount
ain high upon u wagon, and then the
railroad baggage handler is expected to
transfer all to train carefully, tenderly,
as if he were handling eggs. He does
not do 1t, Of course; he could not if he
were an angel instead Of man. and he
gets abused ON all sides.
The baggage smasher wears out al
most as soon as the trunks he Is thought
to take fendish delight in breaking.
No mortal man can endure the strain of
lifting hundreds of huge. unwieldy
trunks day after day, year after year,
and no mortal man ought to be expected
to standit Some sort of lifting machine
ought to be rugged to raise trunks from
the ground into the express wagons, and
then to lift them again from the wagon
at the railway station TO the truck that
carries them aboard the train. The
machine should DO attached to the wagon
itself, and need not weigh much. 1t
would save all the back aching, all the
back breaking, and what is more tho
profane language indulged in by the
truck men. Likewise ii would save our
pretty girls big trunks, and they could
still appear at summer resorts in all
their fowerlike glory. A machine of
this sort ought to DO easy for some
shrewd American to invent

Should Women Proposc?

This new question promises to become
quite as interesting as the old one wheth-
er marriage is failure. In Bulwers

the courtship and pop the question.
Among lions and sparrows alike it is the
female who chooses the mate that 10 most
agreeable to her. The ioness remains a
true and faithful spouse to her chosen
one for three years or thereabouts, nat
uralists say, then she shakes him and
gets another one. She has the matter
all in her own hands, or paws, and the
lord of beasts has nothing to say about it.
Certain nnterrifed ladieS in England
mindful Of the ever increasing army Of
unwedded maids in the kingdom. now
contend with much earnestness that
women, not men, should do the pro-
posing. Thus there would be more mar
riages and fewer old maids and bache-
lors. though consideziag the divorce
courts it does not neccszKs1ly follow that
that would be an improvement. Women
would stand a better chance Of getting
the men they want, while men could
only sit bashfully by In row and wait

A Bridge and Two Tunnels.

The eproject for building bridge across
the Hudson river between New York
and Jersey City is rapidly taking shape.
There is no reason, except the ferry in
terests, why bridge and tunnel both
should not be constructed between New
York and Jersey. Even then the facili-
ties for travel and traffic would be
taxed. The tunnel Is progressing quiet
ly, not much being said about 1t. En-
glish capital is employed in it largely.
Meantime the amount necessary to be-
gin the construction Of tho great bridge
has nearly all been subscribed and 10
per cent. paid IN. Railroad and bank
officials have taken tho major part of the
stock.
Another project still more imposing
has taken shape In the fertile brain of
Mr.. Erastus Wiman. II il no less than
o tunnel from Staten Island 10 Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is now cut off directly from
manufacturing interests, because Of the
expense and difficulty of communication
with the rest Of the world. A railroad
from the southern extremity Of the island
at Arthur Kin will connect with the
tunnel. The tunnel will cross New York
bay at point some distance above the
Narrows, where ths forts stand opposite
each other, one on Long Island, the other
ON Staten Island. II will strike South
Brooklyn at Bay Ridge.
This tunnel will afford direct comma
nication with Long Island for eight trunk
railway lines, and the freight on coal
alone for Brooklyn and the island will
pay the interest on the whole cost Of tho
tunnel, $6,0O0,00. German capital Ia
said to be backing the scheme. The
tunnel will have two tracks.
