appears to be, and the New York Sun
explained the reason, that the soil of

The industry is largely on the increase
by reason OF the cheapness compared
with wood.
SPEcrAcLEs for horses, to promote
high stepping, have been constructed
by firm Of London opticians. The
effect is to make the ground in front of
the horse seem raised; the animal
therefore steps high, and thinks he is
going up hill.

Scul'y was employed at the 2-mile
crib to go below the surface of
the lake and remove the ice from the
: gates through which water is pumped
into the tunnel. The suction from
the pumps was so great as to draw him
into the portfolio. A portion of his
suit caught, and prevented him from be-
ing drawn bodily into the tunnel. His
comrades above could not release
him and word of his situation
was telephoned ashore. Immediately
every engine at the various pumping
works was stopped thus causing the
suction to cease, when Scully was
pulled to the surface after having
remained in his perilons position for
an hour and half. He was un-
conscious. but was soon restored He
felt no bad effect of his struggle with
death save some bruises caused by the
ice crushing him against the top of the
