Concrete Foundations in Quiclsand.
About two years ago an ingenious
method Of making stable foundations
in quicksand was made public. This
method which is especially adapted for
putting foundations in copious water
bearing material; where excavation
In open air pit would be difficult or
impossible, consists briefly in driving
down pipes, some distance apart, to
the quicksand stratum, and connecting
the alternate pipes to pump by which
strong current Of water is forced IN
derground and rises as flowing wells
from the other pipes, bringing with it
large volume of sand. This is con-
tinued until an underground chamber
is excavated, and by transferring the
suction hose to a tank Of cement grout
the underground cavity is then filled
with cement, which soon sets, forming
concrete. An interesting test of this
system was recently made. Pipes We're
driven at the corner Of a hexagon
about feet in diameter to a depth of
IL feet beneath the surface and IL feet
below the water level. Clear water
was then forced into three of the pipes
from hose connections, and water car
rying sand was seen issuing from the
other three pipes. After the required
cavity was thus excavated hose was
connected to the six pipes and the sand
and water was forced up through the
center pipe until clear flow Of water
was secured. After the interior of the
cavity was further agitated by currents
of water to put the sand in suspension
the suction hose was transferred to q
grout tank, and the grout was forced
in until it appeared at the center pipe
Operations were then suspended until
the cement set. The result was that q
block Of concrete was formed which
practically filled the cavity and con
stituted a stable floor.

TANNING WILD ANIMALS.
The Reason Hot Irons Are Not Used
TO Subdue Lions.

The common notion that tanners of wild
beasts have some mysterious gift of
nature, especially some charm OF the
eye, by which they compel submission,
Is altogether mistaken. There is no
such gift found or required in those who
enter the cages, put their heads in the
lion = mouth and otherwise keep the
beasts under their dominance.
AS for putting the head in a lion's
mouth, writes Cleveland Moffett. indeed,
there is a question whether any particu-
lar danger attaches TO that, for in doing
this feat the tanner is careful 10 hold

ment.
under this treatment the animal rarely
harms the trainer wilfully; there Is a
danger that the muscles. under the strain
OF their unnatural position, may become

Another popular illusion is that tanners
use hot irons to inspire their animals

spoiled for exhibition. II he did not fatal
