L., have taken the initiative in protesting
against Sunday work and repairing, by
corporations and all other business firms

at the request Of the delegates from the
Carpenters Assembly, committee was
appointed to call on the Commissioners and
enter formal protest against all repairs,
unless absolutely necessary, being done oil
Sunday. 1t is claimed by the workmcn
that all such work, even when neces-
sary, under the emergency clause, should
be paid for ut double the usual rate of
wages But farther than this, the doing
of all such repairs on Sunday, it is al
legged, prevents the employment of an in
creased number OF workmen on other
days Of week.

Absolutely the greatest mechanical
giant in the world is now lifting stone
on new sea wall on the north coast
cranes used for lifting the government
al great guns can compare with this
Titan, as it is called. 1t is capable OF
lifting 100 tons, and it could pick up a
modern locomotive with as much ease
as the same locomotive draws train
of cars. 1t could lift the cubic con.
tents of 100 carloads and strew them
over wide section of the landscape.
It's daily work is the placing in posi-
ton of fifty-ton blocks of granite, Of
which the new sea wall at Peterhead
is being built.
The length of its arms, reaching out
from the central point of support, is
exactly 100 feet, and it can set sixty
ton block in the sea 100 feet deep and
72 feet from the outer edge of the ma
sonry wall. This long arm is bal
anced by shorter weight arm that
carries the engine house, with the
machinery for moving the Titan for
ward or backward on railroad set
into the finished masonry, and to run
out or in on the long arm a travelling
car from which are suspended the
four-sheaved blocks through which is
received the cable that lifts the great
pieces of stone. The Titan itself
weighs 700 tons, and is built of steel.
The long arm swings about on turn
table, just as a bridge swings over a
river. The wall which it builds and
then travels over as it slowly advances
into the sea is nearly 80 feet wide. -

YnnISce Skipppr's Trick.

A good anecdote is told illustrating
the superior enterprise of the Yankee
shippers years ago. The Bedford
whalers left port for many long voy-
age, sometimes to the far North, at
other times to the far South. These
intrepid followers of the sea sought
and pursued the whale in the ice-cad
latitudes about the poles with natural
fearlessness. A squadron sent out by
Russia to explore the South seas, and
reach the pole if possible, had at
tanned degree of latitude which the
commodore proudly told himself had
never been reached before by white
man or other human beings. While
he reflected upon the fame that would
surely embellish his name, his sailors
cried "Land ho!' Off to the south he
deserted a long low-lying bit of land, and
hastened to shape his course to reach
it, there to plant the Russian standard
on its highest point, claiming it in the
name of his Majesty.
What was his disgust and astonish-
ment when, as his vessel approached
the shore, he observed, over bit of
headland, a flag futtering from a
masthead In few minutes a little
schooner poked her nose around the
point, and came sailing smartly over
the waves towards his vessel. The
lean Yankee captain, who was stand
ing in the rigging as the schooner
came up in the wind, yelled;
"Ahoy there! What ship is that?"
''His Maiesty's ship, the -"
"Well, this is the Nantucket, from
Rhode Island. We're doing little
plotting in these latitudes, and if you
want to run in the cove yonder, why,
we'll pilot you in for small charge -
The admiral's disgust caused him
to square his sails around and shape
his course for Russia. - Harper's

EfYscts of Rare and of Dense Air.

DR.. Won Liebig of the University
of Munich calls attention, in Science,
to some of the curious effects of rare
fed and condensed air on human res
piration. On high mountains some
persons experience distressing ''short-
ness of BREATH" one result of which is
that they are unable to whistle. Pre-
cisely the same effect is sometimes
produced by the condensed air in
caissons aud diving bells. Laborers
working in compressed air frequently
find, however, that their powers of
exertion are increased as long as the
atmospheric pressure is not more than
double that of ordinary air; but be-
yond that point unpleasant effects are
experienced after the menhave left the
working shafts aud returned into the
open air. On the other hand high at
mospheric pressure in the case Of per-
sons not doing manual labor has been
found to act AZ q mental stimulus, in
creasing the impulse TO talk.

ENDURANCE,

How much the heart may bear, and yet not
break!
How much the flesh may suffer, and not
die
question much II any pain or ache
or soul or body brings our end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is
sworn
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons
knife.
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel steel,
Whose edge seems searching for the quiver-
ing life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be
torn,
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way.
And try to flee from the approaching Ill;
We seek some small escape; we weep and
pray;
But when the blow falls, then our hearts
are still;
Not that the pain is OF its sharpness shorn,
But that 1t can be borne.
We wind our life about another life;
We hold II closer, dearer, than our own.
Anon 1t faints and fails in deathly strife.
Leaving us stunned and stricken and
alone;
But, ah! we do not die with those we
mourn;
This also can be borne.
Behold we live through all things famine.
thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inflcts its worst
On soul and body-but we cannot die.
Though we be sick, and tired and faint,
and worm
Lo. all things can be borne
e. A. Allen In Chicago Standard.
