GREAT CONTRACTORS.
Men Who Knew How to Control Great
Masses of Laborers.

Men Who Knew How to Control Great
Masses of Laborers.
When the great works which we call
railways-and which are greater in the
labor expended on them than all the
pyramids ever built-were first projected
It was seen that new class of builder
was required, men who could carry out
scientific orders on a grand scale, who
could manage rough workmen in armies,
who could build by the mile instead of
the yard, and who could be trusted never
to rest satisfied with understandable re-
suits. Properly speaking, according to
the theorists, the work ought to have
been done by cooperative clubs of nav
vies-workmen so called because the
only great earthworks of the immediate
past were canals, and those who cut
them were nicknamed ''navigators"-bu
the clubs did not exist, and, if they had
existed, would not have possessed either
adequate capital or sufficiently capable
dictators. Committees can not cut tun-
nels any more than they can command a
ship. 1t was found, too, that little con-
tractors wanted big man over them.
If one of them failed or proved incom-
petent, the entire great work was
stopped; they were often almost insane
| " jealous CT each other, and their ag-
gregate profits were quite as heavy a
burden as the fortune the big contractor
might be expected to make. Shareholders
are not idealists; they felt that they
wanted big men as agents; and as soon
as the demand became strong, big men
came to the front. They came forward
from every class in the country, except
the highest-engineers, bridge builders,
canal cutters, brickmakers and host Of
men even less accustomed to large work,
but who felt the capacity to do it. Some
succeeded and some failed, but among
all the former there was, we have heard
old engineers say, strong family like
ness. They were not, as rule, what is
called intellectual men, did not study
books much, and did their thinking with
a rapidity which nowadays would make
critics doubt if they thought at all.
They were not even like engineers, but
more like the early Kings or Generals of
the pre-Prussian period, who knew how
to make man obey, how to overcome OBJ
stacles and how to get out of masses Of
laborers direct and positive results.
That last, as all great engineers know,
is a separate faculty, which, curiOusly
enough, does not belong to all men who
understand great wOrks-which, for ex-
ample, has not been displayed by the
group of men, many of them quite ex-
ceptionally qualified in other respects,
who have expended so many millions
upon the Panama canal. They were
nearly all rough men, for they had to
make themselves feared by multitudes
to whom softness seemed little con-
temptible; but they all, or at least all
who succeeded, possessed two rare facul-
ties-they could decide at once and ire
vOcably, and they could choose out men.

1t Is Six Feet In Length and Nearly an
Inch in Diameter.

Inch in Diameter.
An earth worm which, in some ex-
amples, reaches the length of six feet,
is described by Prof. Baldwin Spencer in
the transactions of the Royal Society
of Victoria" as existing in Gippsland,
Australia. 1t is the MegGscotiOeS
Austrahs, one of a group peculiar to
Australia, of which five species are
known. When found at all it is some
what abundant, and lives principally on
the sloping sides of creeks. AT times it
is found beneath fallen logs, and may
be turned out of the ground by the pillow.
The worm itself does not appear to leave
casting" at the mouth of its burrow,
but often lives in ground riddled by the
holes of the land-crab, which forms
casting" Hence contradictory state
ments have been made about the worms
having a Casting" The presence of
the worm under ground may be recog-
nized by very distinct gurgling sound,
which is made by the animal retreating
in its burrow when the ground is
stamped upon by the foot. When
once heard this gurgling sound
is unmistakable. By its rapid mo-
ton and it's power of distending any
part of its body at will, so as to make it
fit very tightly in its hole, the worm
contrives to make itself very hard to
catch. 1t has a characteristic odor,
somewhat resembling that of creosote,
which is very strong and unpleasant in
the dead animal. The body, in decay
ing, passes into a fluid, which the ma
tives of the district say is good for
rheumatism. Fowls refuse to touch it,
living or dead. When held in the hand
the worm, in contracting its body,
throws out jets of milky fluid, and this
fluid seems to be the substance which it
uses for coating its burrows to make
their walls moist and slippery. The
worm moves in its burrow by swelling
up one or the other end and pulling or
pushing itself along from that. Out
side of the burrow it does not attempt
TO get along. The burrows of the large
worm measure from three-quarters of
an inch to an inch in diameter. In dis
used burrows are often found casts of
the worms, and, more rarely, cocoons
containing single embryo. The CO
coon is thin and made of a leathery,
tough material, with a very distinct,
stalk-like process at each end. 1t con-
tains milky fluid like that found in
the body cavity of the worm.

LITTLE BIRDS AT SEA.
The Vague and Casual ROamers of tn
Mighty Ocean.

The Vague and Casual ROamers of the
Mighty Ocean.
Every day we see playing around the
ship, and Swimming up aud down the
wave hollows companies of little terms
and sea swallows, the latter no larger
than thrushes. These fearless people of
the air have not by any means followed
US from the land, living, as gulls often
will, on the waste thrown from the YES
sci. They are vague and casual roamers
of the ocean, who, spying the great
steamship from afar, have sailed close
up to see if we are rock or an island,
and will then skim away again on their
own free and boundless business.
Yonder tiny bird. with purple and
green plumage, his little breast and
neck laced with silver, is distant one
thousand miles at this moment from a
drop of fresh water, and yet cares no
more for that fact than did the Irish
squire who Lived twelve miles from a
lemon" If his wings every grow weary
it is but to settle quietly on the bosom
of a great billow and suffer it
for a time to rock and roll him amid the
kissing spindrift, the milky flying foam
and the broken sealace which forms and
CLEANS and disappears again upon the
dark slopes. When he pleases, a stroke
of the small red foot and beat of the
wonderful wing launch him off from the
jagged edge of his billow, and he fits
past us at one hundred knots an hour,
laughing steam and canvas TO scorn, and
steering for some nameiess crag in Lab
rador or Fundy, or bound, it may be,
homeward for some island or marsh of
the PARKWAY Irish coast.
Marvelously expressive of power as is
our untiring engine, which all day and
all night throbs and pants and pulses in
noisy rhythm under the deck, what a
clumsy, imperfect affair it is compared
to the dainty plumes and delicate mus
cles which will carry that pretty, fear
less sea swallow back to his roost.-Sir
Edwin Arnold

LOVE THAT'S ALWAYS YOUNG.

Dear wife Of mine, we're growing old;
Our hair is stresked with gray;

You sang but yesterday.
But while you sang, it seemed to me
Your face was Just as fair
AS years ago, when could see
No silver in your hair.
know the rose has left your cheek,
Which blossomed brightly there;
Sometimes your step seems slow and weak
Your brow is scanned with care;
But ever through your face see
The heart that's true as truth
Shine out all steadfastly on me
In Loves immortal youth.
What matter If the hair grows gray,
II love stays in the hearth
Lies winter holds hint of May
That never can depart.
Our cheeks may fade, our steps grow slow,
But, dear, while love is ours,
Beneath hfe's winters frost and snow
VIII bloom its summers flowers.
So, dear, tell you with kiss,
And mean it ali and more,
How beautiful your old face is
An, fairer than before;
For from It love the years have proved
Looks out and smiles on me.

To me in giving theei

powerful movement that he nearly
lifted the bench.
''Stop that" said David, who stood
near him with his iron club uplifted.
''If you do that again I'll let you feel

The man looked at him with a fiery
flash in his eyes, and then he looked at
me, as 1 stood holding the muzzle of my
pistol within two feet Of his face. The

at his companions bound and senseless.
