The World, Long Tunnels.

On the ST Gothard Railway, not far
from the famous long tunnel there is
a remarkable tunnel on the plan OF u
cJrkscrew. In the descent of the
mountain it was found impossible to
lay out a safe incline on a straight
line or ordinary curve, and the engin-
eers got over the difficulty by driving
a tunnel which enters the mountain
high on the side, describing a circle
through the solid rock, constantly de-
scending as it does SO, reappears un-
der itself on the mountain side some
distance below, tnen dives into the
rock, again circles and sinks as it Cir
cles until it again emerges into day
light under itself, vixen the line re-
sumes its course dow hill in moro
familiar way.
The making of a tunnel like this is
as striking an example of engineering
skill AS the world can show, and many
very skillful things have been done by
our railway makers. The art of tun-
neling is an old one, but it never at
tanned such perfection as distinguishes
u today

feel all the time the constant rotation
of the tiny world. Some of the walks
over rocks and gorge and gulley would
to men on earth have been trying, bnt
were less so to us, although there was
no atmosphere for flight. The phil of
extraneo1s gravitation-i. e, the pull
upwards of the parent moon and of
huge Jupiter himself-made one feel
light, and one could leap over lofty
obstacles and rocks. Every part of the
little world was soon explored, and
then we rested on our PLAIN, and watch
ed the magnificent spectacle of the
heavens and the huge orbs, ever chang
ing in form, rolling above us. How
marvellous they seemed in their gran
deurl
We dwelt many days on this little
world, and contemplated its scenes.
Its surface contained few wonders.
Life had been there. but it was gone,
and only barren rocks varied its sur
face. 1t must have been a strange life
in world so tiny and so light i'll its
Gravitating power. But it had passed
away, and now the little world was .
desert.
At length we held a consultation on
our plain. More time had been spent
here than We conld we'll spare on our
long voyage through the wonders of
the solar system, but the superb spec
tacles of that wondrous varied moon
light had fascinated us. We decided
now, after a rest of some twelve OF
earth's days, to launch forth into space
again, and to behold Gods many won
drous works In other greater worlds
beyond. So we mounted our ether
ship, and again darted forth into space
to behold Creations marvels in the
vast universe beyond. ALERIEL.

The human body is at that time most

the rapid cooling Of the skin drives

HISTORY OF BILLIARDS.
4 Kansas City Writer Takes
Back to CIeopatra

Kansas city Writer Taxes u
Back to Cleopatra.
The game of billiards is very ancient
Just how old it is nobody seems TO
know, but in Antony and Cleopatra"
Shakespeare has Cleopatra mention the
game, and so we have authority for
crediting billiards with nineteen CEN
turies of existence. Shakespeare is
Known to have improved a little on
history at times for the sake of help
ing a scene, but it is not improbable
that when Antony returned from
slaugntering a whole lot of people he
would put off his cast iron pajamas
and while away the hours with his be-
loved Egypt in quiet bake line or
three cushion game, with Chairman as
marker and kisses for stakes.
In curious and very rare book pub
lished a century ago the Chevalier
Badella tells US all about the history
of billiards which, he says, was intro
duced into France in the twelfth CEN
tury. At that time the cushions as
well as the balls were of ivory, and at
court the bed of the tables was of the
same costly material, so that the game
was confined to the mobiles. and the
richest at that 1t is a noble game
yet, but a man does not need to be
rich TO play it. Anybody with half
dollar can trife with it for a while,
aud may be longer, if he De an expert.
This same Chevalier Badella, who ap-
pears 10 have had some rem rkable
sources OF Information, says that in
the first excavations. made by the
French government in the very ancient
ruins of Ghizeh some fragments were
found which were undoubtedly the re-
mains of a billiard table, not greatly
unlike the tables of the present day in
the material of the cushions. but they
were oetagOnal in form. The remains
were found in a chamber of royal
palace, and it Is safe to say that His
Royal Jags and the princely jaglets
must have been very expert to play on
"A table that would give Slo5son or Jake
Schaefer paresis in thirty minutes. For
the sake OF novelty some billiard
manufacturer might construct a table
after this Ghizeh model ana see how
it would work. A table with eight
cushions ought to draw big crowd.

Casting Sleighbells.

A question frequently asked is in re-
gard to the method Of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening in the bells. Previous to
making a cast the maker of sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside sand core, just
the shape of the inside Of the bell. This
sand core, with the jinglet inside, is
placed in the mold of the outside and
the melted metal poured in, which fills
up the space between the cores and mold.
The hot metal burns the core so that it
can be shaken out, leaving the ball with

and many other articles are cast in the
same manner. Free Press.
