Cast Hrou Tunnels.

Two tunnels of cast iron for an cleo tric railway have been built in Lon on and put in operation for rap d trans l. They are three miles in length and e between forty and sixty feet below the surface of the city's streets. The tun- nels for the up and down lines are formed of cast iron from beginning to end, save where the stations are built and their diameter is ten and ten and one-half feet, the tubes being formed of rings one foot seven inches long, made in sections and boiled to yether. The tunnels were driven by ne; ns of short cylinder, a trife larger its inner diameter than the exterio diameter of the cast-iron tunnel lin- ing. This cylinder has a cutting edge. and is forced forward by hydraulic jacks, putting circular way into which the lining plates are fitted. the narrow space between the lining and the soil being filled with lime cement forced in under high pressure. In their course the tunnels pass beneath the bed of the Thames and through the bed of an old water course, where loose. wet gravel offered some trying obstacles to be overcome.

- It Reverted to tho other.

Tho following singular will case comes from Hamburg. Some years ago there died in Schleswig, Germany, a government official named Nelson. Some little time before he died Nelson bequeathed to his man servant 10000 crowns. and to his cook like gum, on the condition that if either of them married tho fortune should revert to the other. As soon us the old gentle man died, however, the happy possess ors of this fortune went to the altar and were married. The couple then took up their residence in Hamburg, where they have resided for the past six years Recently there arrived from Copenhagen relative of Herr Nielsen, who by their marriage con- sidered the spirit of his relative's will and testament had been departed from. and demanded the restitution of 40, coo crowns. The matter is now before Q court of law.

THEIR MISTAKE.
They Tried to Put the Horse to Bed With
 lillow anI Covers.


 Oae of the best known society wo- men of Philadelphia spends the spring months at her country place, a few miles out of the city. Soon after open- ing the country house her husband arrived from the west, where he had been on business, bringing with him magnificent saddle horse. which he gave to his daughter Eleanor for birthday present. Not long afterward the gentleman was again called away from th's part of the country, and that same afternoon his wife discharged the coachman for being impudent. When evening came on Mrs. Stellcart was in a quandary. She knew that the horse had to be taken care of, and she didn't know exactly how to do it, so she said to her daughter:
 Eleanor we've got to put Toag to bed. recollect hearing your father tell John to be very careful to bed h m down nicely, so we must do as well as we can."
 They went to the stable, and took from the carriage house the cushion of wagon seat and a couple of horse blankets. Then they repaired to the stall in which the Kent cky saddle horse was rapidly growing hungry. likewise weary. Mrs. Stellcart and Eleanor placed the cushion where they supposed the horse would use it for a pillow, and managed to arrange one of the blankets to serve in lieu of mt tress. They then tried to coax TOag to lie down, in order that they might throw the other blanket over him and tuck it in nicely about his heels. But from some unaccountable reason, Toag would not lie down. They tried to coax him and throw him off his feet but the greatly astonished horse at last protested so strongly that the ladies gave up their work.
 Their house is situated half a m'le from any other. and they did not know what to do. But at last bright idea struck Eleanor. and she with her mother hurried to the front gate and stayed there until two men passed by. These were called: the situation was explained to them. They didn't un- derstand it at first, but Mrs. Stellcart finally burst into tears and begged them to come in and put the horse to bed. The men wi lingly walked to the stable and looked at the stall for a moment. Then they leaned against the wall and laughed until they were nearly exhausted. Toag went to bed as usual that night. but he didn't sleep on the cushion of a wagon seat and covered with blankets.
 Every day since this occurrence those two men have made it point to walk past Mrs. Stellcart's residence, stopping by the front gate long enough to roar with laughter so she could bear them. m.-Philadelphia Press.

HABITS OF CAMELS.
When Once They Lie Down They win
 Only Rise Whom They Please.

When Once They Lie Down They win
 Only Rise Whom They Please.
 If any other animal gives out it is still possible to make it travel few miles by judicious use of patience and club. but not so with a camel. When he lies down he will get up only when he feels like doing so; you may drag at the string which is fastened to the stick through his nostrils till you tear it out, he will only groan and spit. It was my first experience with camels, and vowed it should be my last; for, taking them altogether, they are the most tiresome and troublesome ami mals have ever seen, and are suited only to Asiatics, the most patient and long-suffering of human beings.
 Besides their infrmities of temper, resulting, I believe. from hereditary dyspepsia, as evidenced by such coated tongues, offensive breaths and gurgling stomachs as l have seen with no other ruminants, they are delicate in the ex- treme. They can work only in the winter months, for as soon as their wool begins to fall. Samson like, their strength abandons them.
 They can travel only over country where there are no stones for the pads of their feet wear out and then they have to be patched, a most troublesome operation. The camel is thrown and a piece of leather stitched on over the foot. the stitches being taken through the soft part Of it; in this condition it may travel till the skin has thickened again; or what is more likely, until it refuses to take a step.

THE Ho RRoRs OF ST. DOMINGO.
Was Just Hundred Years Ago That
 They Oocurred.

Was Just n Hundred Years Ago That
 Thoy Ooeurred,
 An hundred years ago the island of St. Domingo was the fairest and rich ct in the western hemisphere. says ,be Hartford Courant. For fifty years | had been growing in production and wealth more rapidly than any other European colony in America. It was the emporium of the western world. I, filled the coffers of Europe from the esuberant fertility of its soil and well earned its title of La Reine des An titles
 The French portion--one third only -""s the most productive, and the va.ue of its products was estimated at h.. .UJJ. O00 francs-an increase of Ito, 000, GOO francs in a quarter of a century-a sum which represented the measure of toll exacted by human slavery. The population of the oolo-
 was !S70. 900. Of this number 40- , .U were whites of all classes, 80, 900 ore mulsttoes or free people of col o.s j0J, OC0 were aegro slaves Among the white was a class of vagabonds scatterd throughout the colony, a worthless set on which the mulattoes oestowed the spithet of 'les petits b.ancs." The African slave trade was at it's height at this period. More than 800 vessels left the coast of Africa laden with their human freight in cf aims; l5. 900 annually perished on the passage; 0,000 yearly found their way into the slave marts of Saint De- mingO.
 The revolution in France created political disturbances and differences among the whites In the colony. The leople of color claimed equal rights with the whites; their claims were re- ected. their leaders were arrested. tried. and put to death. They turned to the negroes for aid. These had been quiet witnesses of this war of caste. They were now wakened by sense of their own condition. They joined with the people of color, and insurrection began on the night of Aug. 2l, l791. Incendiary fires broke out in several plantations in the plains of the north. The negroes, under the lead of one Of their number, a fearless giant named Boukman, now commenced to plunder and buru ndiscriminately. By the 26th one-third of the plantations in the great plain were in ashes. In a week the whole plain was swept by fire. The desolation and ruin was almost complete from the sea to the mountains. The soil ran with the blood of the unhappy planters and their families. Thus began that series of events and disasters known in his tory as the Horrors of Saint Domin- go," events and disasters which re- suited in the loss to France of her richest colony and the establishment in 1894 of the free black government sf HayH.

Little Curious Things.

The manufacture of false teeth for horses Is a new industry just opened in Paris with a capital of 2,000, 900 francs.
 A Liverpool, England, man was re- gently sentenced to five years penal servitude for obtaining a shilling under the pretext that it was to be used for a charitable purpose.
 There is a mountain of coal in Wild Horse Valley, Wyoming, which has been burning for more than thirty years. It sends up dense volumes of smoke. and at times the gas from it is almost suffocating, even at distance of fifty to seventy-five miles from the burning coal-bed.
 Probably the most remarkable rail- road ln the world is that running from Gloggintz to Lounering, near Vienna. 1t is only twenty-five miles in length, but cost $9. 900, 900. It begins at an elevation of l,400 feet and has its terminus at IS, 900 feet. It has fifteen double viaducts, seventeen tunnels and crosses itself nine times. Louis Republic.

THE GIANTS OF cANARIEs.

A Race sf Msn Who Were Physicarly
 snd Morally Our Supporters.
 The Guanches the inhabitants of tho Canary islands are said to be the remnants of the ancient race, says the | Cornhill Magazine, who 10. 900 years ago. psopled the drowned continent of Atlantis. They are reported to have been strong and handsome, and of ex- traordinary agility of movement of re- markable courage and of loyal dispo- sition; but they showed the creduiity of children and tho simple directuess of shepherds. So tall were they that the Spaniards speak of them as giants and their strength and endurance were so great that they were conquered by strategem. but not force. They ran as fast as horses and could leap over . pole held between two men five or six feet high; they could climb the highest mountains and jump the deepest ra- vines.
 Their endurance as swimmers was so great that they were accustomed to swim across the nine mile strait be- tween the Lancerote and Graciosa; having no boats their method of fish. ing was to strike the fish with sticks or catch them in their hands while swimming. Their skulls which are preserved iu the museums of the is. land, and of which l took photo graphs, show marked cerebra. devel- opment the frontal and parietal bones being well developed and the facial angle good. In the early days of the conquest before rapine and murder bad done their vile work the Guanches are spoken of as being musi- cal and foud of dancing and singing.
 Though so strong physically, the Guanches were nevertheless a very gentle race; they rarely made war on one anotaer. and when the Europeans fell into their hands they did not kill them. but sent them to tend sheep in the mountains. So tame were the birds in this happy land that when the Span- iards first landed they came and fed out of their hands. To kill an animal degraded man; the butcher was a rcprieved criminal and an outcast and lived apart, he and his assistants being supported by the state. No woman was allowed to approach the shambles, and in such horror was killing held by these gentle giants that no man could be ennobled until he had publicly de- clared that he had not been guilty of kil ing any animal, not ever goat
 Their standard of morality was high; they were monogamists. and adultery was punished by Imprisonment and death; robbery was almost unknown among them. and drunkenness not yet invented. The Guanches were bound by law 10 treat women with the greatest respect and man was oblig d to make way for every woman he met walking. to bear her burdens. and deferentially to escort her home should she wish 1t. If a Guanche was ennobled for any great deed the people were assembled on the occasion. and among the questions asked to which Q negative answer must be given before the patent of nobility was granted. was; Has he ever been disrespect- ful to womenG' The women are not celebrated as having been beautiful but they were almost as agile and strong as the men. Even h war the women and children were protected, and pills2e was forbiddon.
