Mechanical Accuracy.

1t is well known, of course, that great
accuracy has become an important factor
in certain kinds of workmanship an Illus
tration of this fact being thus given by a
mechanical Journals Not long ago, in a
Philadelphia machine shop, the head man
remarked concerning device consisting
of short steel rod fitting into hollow
cylinder, the rod being three-quarters Of
an inch in diameter Now, the fit was so
perfect that it would slide freely In and
out, but it was found that, If the rod were
taken out and held in the hand but few
seconds, the slight expansion caused by
the warmth of the hand was enough to
render it impossible to insert the rod until
1t had been allowed by gradual cooling to
regain its normal size.

ney was one of the noble 600, while the
poet was not. Barney says he is by no
means proud of having taken part in the
charge into the VALLEY of death, " because
the charge was blunder, "and," he says,
Il don't like blunders, especially In war. !"
Barney says he is the only survivor of the
famous charge In the United States, and
as but $50 out Of $40 brave troopers escaped
the Russian guns on that memorable o.
tober day nearly Al years ago Barney must
be one of the very few men living who
'came through the jaws Of death, back
from the mouth of hell"
Barney was born at Sathram, west Ire
land, 20 years ago. One day he saw some
soldiers whose gay uniforms fascinated
him, and at the age of II he ran away from
home to join the army. His youth was
against him at first, but in 1S46 he enlist
ed In the Seventeenth Lancers and was
sent to India to help put down the rebel
lion. He took part In II engagements and
was twice wounded When the Crimean
war began, his regiment was sent TO Se-
yastopol and took up winter quarters near
Balaklava. On Oct. 25 the town was at
tackled by the Russians, who stormed four
redoubts feebly defended by Turkish troops
and captured II cannon. Lord Raglan,
the commander of the English troops, in
censed at the flight of the Turks, ordered
the Light brigade under Lord Cardigan
and Captain Nolan to charge the Russian
batteries and prevent the withdrawal of
the captured guns. "We put spurs to our
horses, says Barney, land dashed up the
valley toward the batteries. All at once
there was q deafening roar of artillery.
Horses plunged and men fell from their
saddles. Again and again the Russians
poured forth shot and shell. Rider after
rider went down, but still we kept on.
Finally the gallant Nolan fell, and Car
digan urged US on, but he soon saw the
hopelessness Of the charge and gave the
order to retreat. We turned from the
deadly fire, and by twos and threes all that
was left Of the Light brigade rode back.
Every survivor was wounded except Lord
Cardigan, and over 500 OF the brigade were
left dead on the field"
Barney has been a resident Of Phenix-
Vile about % years and is watchman
and hagman for the Phenixville Iron
company He draws no pension, but has
medal given him by Queen Victoria for
his gallant charge with the Ill fated Light
brigade.

AN UNDERGROUND CITY.
Built Long Before the Christian Era by n
Highly Civilized People.


Highly Civilized People.
The Russians have made = singular dis
covery In central Asia. In Turkestan, on
the right bank of the Amu-Daria, is a
chain of rocky hills near the Bokharan
town of Karki and number Of large
caves, which, upon examination, were
found to lead to an underground city,
built apparently long before the Christian
era According 20 efflgies, inscriptions
and designs upon the gold and silver mon
ey unearthed from among the ruins, the
existence of the town dates back to some
two centuries before the birth of Christ.
The underground Bokharan city is about
two versts long and Is composed of an
enormous labyrinth of corridors, streets
and squares, surrounded by houses and
other buildings two or three stories high.
The edifices contain all kinds Of domestic
utensils, pots, urns, vases, etc. In some
Of the streets falls of earth and rock have
obstructed the passages, but generally
the visitor can walk about freely without
so much as lowering his head. The high
degree of civilization attained by the in
habitants of the city is shown by the fact
that they built in several stories, by the
symmetry of the streets and squares and
by the beauty of the baked clay and metal
utensils and of the ornaments and coins
which have been found. II is supposed
that long centuries ago. this city, so care
fully concealed in the bowels of the earth,
provided an entire population with ref
uge from the incursions of nomadic saw

Found on the Old Romans Bill of Fare.
Though time and climatic influence have
changed the tastes Of man almost past REQ
ognition, we have still few dishes
among us which owe their origin purely
to the Romans. Brawn, for instance, is
made now in exactly the same way as was
set forth in "De Re Coquinaria" 1900 and
some odd years ago.
Asparagus with egg sauce graced the
tables of Pliny, Petronius and Mecenas,
though the asparagus was much larger
than ours. Pliny the Younger says In one
of his epistles that Of the large ones three,
or even less, went to the pound.
Apple dumplings seem to have been first
introduced during the reign of Augustus
by one Galladus, Of whom nothing further
is known, but Apicius devotes five pages
to their preparation, and SO they must have
been fashionable In his time
Apicius also invented sausages stuffed
into skins, and one Of the particular kinds
of sausage which he tells us how to make
may still be met with In England under
the name of black pudding.
Twenty years ago cow heel and calfs
foot jelly were quite common dishes, as 1s
centuries ago they were common dishes In
Rome. They were prepared in exactly the
same way, and In all probability tasted the

of the true seal can only be used for swim

Neither the sea lions nor true seals, how
ever, yield the fur which is SO highly priz-

from the sea bears and is their beautiful

hairs have been removed by the knife. In

these unfortunate creatures have been slain
annually for the sake of their skins and in
other parts of the world this wholesale
slaughter is continually going on to supply
the European market, about 200, 900 skins
being required each year.

About the Sea Lion.

An unusually fine sea lion from the
north Pacific, an inhabitant of the Lon
don Geological gardens, Is easily distin-
guished from all the other members Of it's
class by the convex crown of the head
which, as has been well remarked is more
like that of dog faced baboon than of a
sea lion. Sea lions differ from the true
seals externally in at least two important
points-their hind limbs, as is shown in
