Everything in this world is. after all,
a question of time. Men and nations,
folly and wisdom, peace and war, all
come and go like waves, but the sea re-
mains. There is nothing on earth but
hypocrisy and jugglery, and, whether 1T
be fever ,or grapeshot that tears away
this mask of flesh, fall it must sooner or
later. The bones of the wise man and
abe fool look just alike. "-BtSmarck

ANNOUNCEMENT was made yesterday
by the War Department that 10000
more soldiers are to be sent olthwith
to reinforce General Miles in Porto
Rico. This is the most absurdly ridio-
ulous movement of the campaign.
There are in Porto Rico about 10000
badly frightened and demoralized
Spanish soldiers. General Miles al
ready has force of 10000 soldiers on
the island, with 1000 more on their
way-enough to eat them up. Now
comes the decision of Secretary Alger
to send 10000 more men, and this, too,
in the face of almost completed peace
negotiations. The real reason for send
ing the troops is that the politicians Of
the various States want to give the
soldiers an outing, and though it will
involve needless expense of SIS, 000,-
900, the administration hasn't nerve
enough to refuse the demands of these
fellows. The First West Virginia Reg
iment is among those named for this
expedition

Here. While the boat was blowing off

The bridegroom and the bride ad-

They were received ON the front

curls and smiles.
! You are welcome to Fuljoy's Isle,

An exclamation of pleasure broke
from Astrea's lips as she threw herself
into her easy chair before her dressing
table, and gazed around the pretty
room With it's hangings Of rose-colored
silk and fine lace.
"Oh, how good is my dear guardian,
and how perfect is his taste" she said

TUNNELS UNDER STREETS.
How Sewers Are Laid without Block
Ing TrahC.

How sewers Are LAlu WAsno"s
Ing Trafac.
In the course of the improvements IN
the sewerage OF Paris it was decided
in 1894 to construct new main col
lecting sewer from the Place de IA
Trinite to the siphon which passes
under the Seine at Clichy. The large
size of the proposed sewer. known as
the Collector de Clichy." and the
fact that the route passed under I'M
portant and much-traveled streets,
filled with shade trees and carrying
tramways, caused the authorities 10
hesitate about cutting trench for the
conduct of the work. 1t was therefore
decided to adopt a system OF tunnei-
ing, with such arrangement of shields
and supports as would maintain the
surface of the roadway intact and per-
NIT the entire work to be carried en-
below ground, although the top OF the
sewer arch at places would come
within three feet of the surface. IN
order to support the soil and the load
upon the superintendent roadway 1t
was necessary to adopt metallic
shield similar to that devised ny
Brunei for the construction OF the
Thames tunnel, and this shield was
followed by system of movable CEN
tiers or frames upon which the masonry
was constructed and supported. AS
there was no liquid mass to be en-
countered the end of the shield was
left open, the structure really forming
an elliptical ring of plate iron with
sharp edges, REINFORCED with angles
and braces and carrying six hydraulic
cylinders, by means Of which it could
be forced forward. The rams of these
cylinders thrust back against the
masonry ring previously constructed
through the medium of the metallic
centrings already mentioned, while a
horizontal bucket conveyor kept the
space just back of the shield free from
earth as rapidly as the excavation
progressed. The interior Of the tunnel
was kept we'll lighted by electricity,
and all motive power for ventilating,
hauling, pumping, etc., was supplied
by electricity. The details were slight
ly different in the two portions Of the
work, owing to the different depths
at which the tunneling was conducted,
but the general construction was prac-
tically the same.
BY the use Of this apparatus sewer
of 20x16 feet was thus successfully
built for distance Of more than two
miles under one of the busiest portions
of Paris, the work progressing con-
tinuously at the rate of about six
lineal yards in twenty-four hours,
without causing the slightest obstruc-
tion to travel and without deranging
the surface paving. The contract price
was about 5000 per lineal yard, includ-
ing the construction of all the Up
paratus.

A Convent in the Catacombs.

The most remarkable convent in the
world is to be found in the catacombs
of the Russian cathedral at Kiev. Deep
down beneath the magnificent cathe-
dral are miles of subterranean corri-
doris lined with cells, in which 1900
ascetics perform their daily deyotions
and duties; live, eat and sleep, in the
grim company of their dead predeces-
sors. For a short time each day they
ramble in the beautiful gardens sur
rounding the cathedral, only to return
from the fugitive glimpse of paradise
to the dark, damp cellars where they
live death in life" The cathedral
which rises above them, is Of SPLEEN
dor which the untraveled wcsterner
has no conception. It's walls are COW
cred with plaques Of gold and silver.
Images are enshrined in richly jewel
ed frames Of gold, and before them
hang hundreds Of tiny lamps, gleam-
ing like multi-colored Jewels
