Why He Couldn't Pause.

chapel in one of the pit districts of
Staffordshire. worthy ''local' after
preaching very earnestly for about
ee-quarters of an hour, had tired his
audience and yet showed no sign of
drawing his discourse to close IN

A number OF the congregation had
been sleeping for some time, but one
brawny miner was wideawake and APP
parent!y in state of great uneasness.
After repeatedly looking at his watch
and then at the preacher, the miner
groped for his stick and hat and then
proceeded to make his way out of the
chapel.
The preacher just then had got warm
and well into his subject. He had
been advising his hearers to beware of
the pitfalls by which they were sur
rounded. "Stor, sinner" he shouted.

The St. Clair Tunnel.

The actual length of the tunnel,
from portal to portal, is 5000 feet. OF
this. 231O feet is under the river,
19S2 feet under dry ground on the
Canada side. and 1,734 feet under dry
ground on the United States side. The
open excavation to reach the ground
level on the Canadian side is 3,O61
feet. and on the United States side
2461 feet. The grade is one i'll fifty,
except under the river, where it is
practically level. only sufficient in

for drainage. The depth of the low

depth between the top of the tube and
the bottom of the river is fifteen feet,
The average being twenty-onc feet. 1t
was necessary to place it as far down
as possible in he clay, consistent
with the grade. so as to overcome the
tendency of tube filled with air to
rise to the surface in water or mud.
The bottom is about nine feet above
the rock which underlieS the clay. On
the Canada SIDE the bottom is SKY
feet below the surface of the ground
ut the portal on the United States
side it is e'ght feet less. The uuttunI
of the tunnel at its lowes7 point IS
100 feet below the railway track on
the level. which indicates the total
ascent and descent which trains have
to make n passing through. Nentila-
ton is secured by the motion of the
trains. which is found to be ample
for the purpose.
The trains are drawn through the
tunnel by powerful locomotives be-
longing to the tunnel company. spe-
cially built for the purpose. They
take eighteen loaded cars at Il trip.
The track in the tube is supported
on solid brickwork. 1t was at
first proposed to build the tunnel
wide enough for two tracks. but it
waS found that two s.ngle-track tun-

them would sooner be available for
