The late Professor Jowett, during his
connection with Ballfol College. had oc-
casion TO visit some of the farms be-
longing to the college near the Scottish
borders. One of the leading tenants
was deputed to take the professor
around. A long tramp they had, in
the course of which Jowett uttered not
a word, while the farmer was too much
stricken with awe to venture a remark
But when the walk was almost done
the professor was reused TO speech.
Looking over stone wall, over a good
ly field of vivid green. he abruptly said:

''Yon's turmets." Not a word more

has loosened the rock scattered around.
AS soon as the trimmers cart away the
stone and debris. the brickldyers ex-
tend the wall. In this way progress,
SLOW but steady, is made every day.
! At O'clock every morning the miners
descend the long shaft and start to
work. Half a dozen holes are drilled
! IN the rock and one-quarter-pound
sticks of dynamite inserted. When ev-
| erything Is clear and the workmen have
| retreated to a safe distance the charge
is fired by electricity and the masses of
| rock come tumbling down from the

bore, while a great cloud of smoke
drifts lazily through the tunnel toward
the shaft where it can escape to the up

over the miners and other workmen
climb over the rough rock and begin
! filing the little cars which are hauled
by solemn burros on the tiny track to
the elevator. Another set of holes is
drilled and another shot is fired.
The drills work by compressed air
power, the same plan as that in effect
on the drainage canal being employed.
Up above in the shafthouse where all
the machinery of the plant is located
an engine pumps the air into big COM
pressor from which it is sent in stout
pipes to the drills.
The men who work these drills are
experts, and do their work quickly and
Systematically. Others, with little or
no clothing on, toll desperately with
sharp AIDES, swinging them against the
clay, loOsening it bit by bit, and as each
man strikes at the tough, unyielding
mass before him he grunts deeply as
men do who are chOpping down trees.
Just as steadily as the AIDES fall
against the wall of clay comes the deep,
rhythmical grunts from the toilers. Just
behind them three more men work fill
ing the cars with the chunks of clay
which fall away before the AIDES. The
work is so hard and the clay SO tena-
ciOus that the men can work at chop
ping it but fifteen minutes at a stretch,
when they fall back and give way to
the other gang.
And this is after the clay has been
blasted, for dynamite is used on both
clay and rock in this tunnel. -Four
sticks of dynamite at a shot are used
on the clay and three or four shots a
day or made. After the explosion the
men attack the loosened wall with the

DIR. DaTrin is certainly the most re-
markable and successful physician at

The perceptiVe faculties Of this physi-
clan seem so well trained that he tells
at once every disease of the human
body, and precisely what condition Of
health or disease exists; detects and
describes every symptom, ache and
pain; gives a full history of the case
from beginning to end; he tells SO plain
ly that you know he is correct: YOU
learn the prospects of life or danger of
death whether cure is possible or inn
possible; he astonishes everybody bv
his wonderful and correct knowledge of
disease; is so plain and his power to
heal so great that a speedy cure is an
absolute certainty.
This is your opportunity to be cured.
No matter what your condition. how
long you have been sick, nor how manv
doctors you have tried; no matter what
your doubts may be, there is hope. DIR.
Darrin has cured others, and he can
cure you A perfect knowledge of dis
ease is power and one-half the cure. If
is your life that is at stake: you must
either get well or suffer. No matter if
the best physicians have given you up.
or hospitals have turned you away as
incurable; no matter what anybody
says, go straight to DR.. Darrin, in the
Auditorium building, Spokane, Wash,
where every courtesy will be extended.
and If cure is possible, you may be
as sure of it as you are of the sun
rising.
