Ben Jim, a Chinaman, was not entitled to ad
mission to this country, although he had pass

Judge Hawley. in his decision, finds that pass
ports do not fulfill the requirements of the re-
strietiou act, as the official who issued them is
customs Official. This suit was brought TO test
the validity of the so-called Shanghai passports,
which was due to the charges of fraud made by
Collector Phelps some time ago.

TO SUPPORT THE ROOF.
A Way to surely Prevent the Gazing In
Of Tunnels.

The frequent and serious difficulty
experienced i'll the operations of tun-
neling, namely. the subsistence of the
surface after the completion of the
work. has lately been found to be pre-
ventable by simple system resorted
TO by London contractor. by the use
OF which no ground outside the actual
section OF the subway in hand need
be disturbed The system in question
comprises a series of steel bars placed
side by side with the excavation so as
to form complete temporary lining
and support to the root, and within
this series Of bars the permanent brick
arch of the tunnel is built The bars
used in this work are ten feet long. six
inches wide, and two inches thick
being provided at their edges with
longitudinal grooves by means of
which each is linked to the next one
in such a way as to admit Of separate
longitudinal motion and yet to pre-
vent lateral separation. The bars are
inserted in the same manner, as well
as supported, as ordinary tunnel bars,
the ground being excavated only the
exact section OF the tunnel plus the
tritiing thickness of the bars. After
the brickwOrk has been built within
them the bars are separately pushed
forward by jack screws as the earth is
excavated for the succeeding length.
The bars are provided with longitude
nal tubular cavities. through which
grouting or other filling material may
be introduced from time to time to fiji
the space left vacant by the advancing
bars between the top of the lining arch
and the earth above and around, this
preventing any subsistence.

EXPRESSION AND Sentiment

Archdeacon Farrar was enormously re-
ported as having sought admission to the
crowded court room in which Sir William
Gordon Cummings libel suit was tried,
and emphatically denied the statement in
the papers next day, adding that he never
had once entered the law courts in his
life.
There is NAN up in Grafton county, N
H., who wants a divorce because his wife
talks Christian Science morn, noon and
night He must be taken to that Western
poet who sought a separation because his
spouse interrupted him when in the throes
of versifying and often caused him to
make false quantities.
Prof. Foster, OF Denver, thinks that Me-
thuselah did live to be 1000 years old.
Long ago, before the planet Mercury was
born, the earth was much nearer the sun
than at present. Its speed was therefore
much greater, and the orbit being smaller
the year must have been quite short-per-
haps only few weeks in length That ex-
plains it.
Referring to Thackeray's lectures when
in this country George William Curtis
says: ''The conclusion of the lecture Oh
George III. was by far the most impressive
passage Thackery ever spoke in this coun-
try. You recall it! Imagine the sonor-
business of this passage as intoned by him
Hush! Strife and quarrel. over the SOL
emn grave! Sound, trumpets and mourn
full march. Fall. dark curtain, upon his
pageant, his pride, his grief, his awful
rag edy.'"
