affidavit that his twelve-year-old son,
who had had st. Vitus Dance for twelve
years, lost his speech, was completely
cured after using three bottles of DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine, and also re.

LONGEST TUNNEL ON EARTH.
Now Under Construction Through the
Simplon Mountain.

Now Under Construction Through the
simplon Mountain.
The longest tunnel in the world will
be that now to be constructed through
the Simplon. According to the final
plans adopted it will have length Of
1915 miles, or 81 miles more than the
mouth will be situated about 1890
yards south of Brieg, at the little vii
lage of I'm Rafi, and the southern 600
yards beyond Ivelle, just below the
present wall gallery. About one-half
of the tunnel facing north will have an
incline of 1.5 per 1000 yards, just sufH-
cient to cause the water to run off,
while the southern portion will have an
incline of 8.5 per 1000 yards. The proc
ess of boring will be the same as that
followed with the Arlberg tunnel, says
the New York Advertiser. Workshops
and depots are to be established on the
right bank of the Rhone, close to the
northern entrance, at a cost of 4,000,-
900 francs. The power of working re-
quired is estimated at /, $50 horse power,
VIZ: $40 for boring purposes, 7S0 for
ventilation and 266 for electric light
ng, etc.-i. e., at the end of the tunnel
alone, for which purpose the River
Massa is to be damned up. At the
southern side similar station is to be
established, which is calculated to cost
5000, 900 francs and to furnish 2,760
horse power, derived from damming up
the River Cairasca. The total cost of
the remaining works is estimated at
s0,0O0,0O0 francs, of which 10000, 900
francs are contributed by the various
states interested in the scheme. In
order to facilitate the Undertaking a
track is to be laid on the road between
Dornodossola and Iselle, while in the
borings are to be used Brandt's rotary
boring machines. 1t is calculated that
the work will occupy eight years and a
half,

The Hon Gave Up the Job.

A "Cape Colder tells how he cured a
setting hen. 81 made" he says, 'half
a dozen snowballs and soaked them in
water. In the morning they were solid
ice. I shaped them as near like an egg
as possible and then placed them under
the setting hen. She smiled. / stood
by and watched her. She cuddled the
ice eggs under her and chuclsled softly
to them. In about ten minutes she ap-
peared to get uneasy. She arose and
scratched the darlings together and
shook herself; then, evidently sat
isfed, settled down again. Soon she
got up once more, this time with evil
dent concern; something was wrong,
surely; perhaps the weather was get
ting cold She felt wet and chilly, but,
with great perseverance, she sat down
again, and again got up, this time for
good. She walked out of the box and
then turned and looked in, but she had
had enough"

FIREPRooFINa is POSSIBLE.
But Combustible Material In Often Heed
Iessly Used in Buildings.

Scarcely week goes by, says
writer in the Engineering Magazine,
that one or another of the journals de-
voted to architecture does not contain
some article by experienced and able
writers bearing upon the fireproofng of
buildings, and. without doubt, there
could be formulated from these articles
a system of principles that would be
thoroughly efficient to meet the re-
quirments. In the attempt to discover
right principles, the advice and assist
ance of the now noted fireproofng COM
,anies should not be neglected. The
,emand was no sooner created for
science of fireproofing than it was i'm
mediately met by the formation of
companies for the very purpose of sup
plying it. The new industry, with ex-
perience as its teacher, has developed
year by year until at the present
moment there is not first-class archi-
tect or engineer in the country who
will deny that an absolutely fireproof
able cost. Yet fires of the most dis
astrous character are constantly occur
ing in buildings advertised by their
owners as fireproof' 1t is not surpris-
ing, therefore, that a large element,
probably vast majority, of the entire
community doubt the possibility of
constructing an absolutely fireproof
building. 1t is an incontrovertible
fact that every fire which has taken
place in ''fireproof" building has been
due to the indiscriminate use of com
bustible material in its construction;
moreover, it may be demonstrated that
fireproof material could have been sub
stituted for the material burned at
cost not exceeding twenty per cent.

ODD FACTS ABOUT DIAMONDS.
People Have Been Known to Swallow Dfa-
monds In Order to Save Thorn.

People Have Been Known to Swallow Dfa-
monds In Order to Save Them.
Diamonds are rather plentiful nova
days, said Richard Burlsett, the veteran
jeweler, to st. Louis Globe-Democrat
man, but, like really great1men, there
are very few large ones. We all know
of the Koh-i-noor, the whilom treasure
of the kahn of Persia, and again the
great orange diamond, now in posses
sion of the German emperor; but the
largest diamonds are not always finest.
Sometimes a large diamond fails to
sparkle properly, lacks radiance and
color. Such stone upon being divided
will often make several very brilliant
and valuable small diamonds, whose
aggregate value would be more than
the great colorless original. In the
early dawn of civilization diamonds
were the cause of more crime than
even gold or silver. They have been
swallowed for safe-keeping, frequently
causing death. Murder after murder
can be traced to one or the other of
these great diamonds as the primal
caue Some dire state intrigucs and
plots have diamond for the center ..
nucleus.
One of the finest diamonds in the
world was found not long since in the
Brazilian sands. 1t came in novel
form. A small quartz rock was found,
about the size and shape of an egg, ly-
ing in the sands along the bank of the
Amazon, in Brazil. This was carried
home by Brazilian peasant, who was
attracted by it's odd shape and light
weight. For some time it lay in his
home, with number of other geolog-
ical specimens, a mere curiosity. Hap
pening one day in handling it to drop it
on stone block it burst open and lay
in halves on the block. The hollow in
terror that gave the light weight to the
stone was filled with blood-red sand.
In this sand lay the diamond, a spark
ling stone of the rarest quality. The
stone was later sold to diamond mer-
chant and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy. It is safe to say that the next
egg-shaped stone found in that section
will not long remain unbrolken, and
now that the quality and value of a
diamond SO formed is well known the
next finder will realize fortune out Of
it most certainly.

the Grauary OF the World.
'If the horse could stand it." said
well-known resident of Winnipeg, Man
itoba, to a reporter for the Washington
Star, "a man could leave Winnipeg and
ride one thousand miles west and north
west over q level prairie before he would
be obstructed by the mountains. This
gives an idea of the great territory ly-
ing west of Winnipeg, which, to the
eastern man, seems way out of the
world. The soil of this preirie produces
the finest spring wheat grown any
where, and the enormous plain I've just
mentioned will in few years be the
great granary of the world. Eastern
people have a misty idea of our expan-
sive territory. We are just commence
ing to grow wheat compared to a de-
cade hence, though our crop two years
ago was thirty million bushels. We
have but little snow, and in the many
years / resided in Manitoba l never
saw the tops of the bright prairie grass
covered. Cattle fairly roll in fat, and
we are becoming great cattle country.
While most of our settlers are from
across the water, yet the number from
the western states is yearly increasing
We have no wild west frontier scenes.
There are no settlers killed over dis
puted claims, as has been an everyday
story in the west for years. Our home
stead laws require three years resi-
dence of six months each. Land may
be preempted, too. Gold has been. dis
covered in wonderfully rich quartz de.
and paying mills have just been erected
by Minneapolis capitalists. I predict a
rush to the Lake of the Woods district
next year. Winnipeg has thirty-ive
thousand inhabitants and is a thriving
city. Our winters are cold, but we do
not mind them. The atmosphere is dry
and the days are clear, murlky weather
being almost unknown"

Aband Of prisoners is believed TO be
st work on the railways IN the North
West Provinces, says a Bombay paper.
There have been during the past few
months q large number of deaths in
carriages among the native third-class
passengers travelling on the East Indian
railway. The bodies are handed over
by the railway authorities to the police,
who dispose 81 them as expeditiously as
possible. In most cases there is little or
no property found on the bodies, not
even railway tickets, and generally
they are found in an empty carriage.
These facts do not appear to have
awakened the suspicious of the police,
or perhaps they have recognized their
incompetence to prevent or detect such
crimes. AS, however, the native passen:
gers contribute over ninety per cent. Of
coaching receipts, it is high time some
efforts were made to afford them pro-
lection for their life and property. y

Telophoning on Telegraph Wires.

An apparatus has ben constructed
for telephoning simultaneously over
telegraph wires. The system has been
in operation for some time on the tele-
phone line from Budapest to Szegedin,
a distance of 1874 miles. The results
were satisfactory. The apparatus can
easily be inserted in telegraph cir
cult and used at once. 1t is said that
simultaneous telegraphy along the
wire does not in the least interfere
with telephoning, and that the effects
Of induction and all disturbing noises
are completely removed.
