RALEIGH MAN FOUND DEAD.
Norfolk LEDGER

A white stranger was found sitting
on the steps in an alleyway on Talbot
street, next to Seelinger's bar, this
morning, and it was at first thought that
he was drunk, but subsequently 1t was
found that he was dead. He was
man about 40 years of age,with whiskcrs,
and plainly but neatly dressed. He had
been seen in the neighborhood for sew
eral days. The name of the deceased
was +. J. Lindley, and papers found on
his person would seem to indicate that
he was from either Atlanta, Ga, Au-
gusta, Ca, or Langley, S. G. He was
employed in Raleigh, n. c., prior 10
1895, and was recently in Newport
News. The Coroner viewed the body
and will hold an inquest.

A RALEIGH BOYS SUCCESS.
Mr.. George w. Blacknall Supervises
a Big Government Job.


The Waterbury Conn Evening
Globe tells of the success of Mr.
George w. Blacknall, a native of Raj
eigh, now residing in Waterbury, Conn.
His Raleigh friends will be glad to
read it. We quote from the Globe:
The firm of Randolph Il Cloves on
Saturday successfully completed Il
large government order for condenser
heads. The castings weigh 5000 pounds
each, the largest ever run in this city,
or it is said, in the world. They are
30 inches wide, IS inches long and 4
inches thick when east, but each piece
is rolled down to 11a inches in thick
ness before it is turned over to Uncle
Sam The composition of which the
castings are made is 60 per cent. cop
per and 40 of spelter with a secret alloy.
The work was done under the exclusive
supervision Of George w. Blacknall,
master caster, at Randolph x Cloves.
Mr. Blacknall has already won an en-
viable place in the mechanical world,
but in the minds of local mechanics the
successful completion of the latest Gov
eminent order is his greatest work up
to date.

Work was commenced yesterday on

road at the Petersburg end of the line
has been completed.

Columbia and Laurens, which connects
with the Seaboard Air Line at Clinton.
President Childs of the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens, said that he Knew
nothing about the rnmors and talk ana
did not know how they started. it IS
stated that the Seaboard Air Line OWNS
one-third of the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens stock. that another third OF
the ownership of the line is owned by the
Atlantic Coast Line, and that the other
third interest is held by Columbia stock
holders. 1t is this Columbia interest
which it is said the Seaboard Air Line
has acquired, or at least a majority of it
which would give the Seaboard the CON
trolling interest in the property. Some
intimation is also made thai It IS the
Atlantic Coast Line and not the Sea-
board Air Line which has been watching
the Columbia, Newberry} aud Laurens.

capital would be largely interested.
"But one thing is certain, the effort
to interest the government is entirely
non-political. At the house of COM
mons meeting, over which I had the
honor to preside, one of the strongest
supporters of the plan was my oppo-
nent at the polls, and Lord Rosebery
wrote me that he had long believed
there were few more pressing objects
of policy, not only from the Irish point
of view, but also from the British and
imperial viewpoints. He said he be-
lieved that f10,OOO,0OO was cheap, con-
sidering the advantages to be gained.'
This tunnel is not new. Fifteen
years ago it was seriously discussed,
and later the Belfast chamber of COM
merce took it up, and asked for gov
ernment assistance in getting prelimi-
nary soundings, and also for a guaran-
tee of interest on the capital invested.
But the enterprise looked bigger than
it does now, and e10,000,000 sounded

"And Queenstown is going to be
heard from on the subject isn't she?"
''No doubt, but it is the voice of Bel
fast that will carry weight, for that is
the city most directly interested in the
tunnel. It is the chief city of Ireland,
and does much the larger part of her
business. Belfast would probably be
the railroad terminal of the tunnel,
and doubtless the trains would run to
Belfast from the English side without
stopping. To go from Belfast to CAL
way without changing cars would re-
quire an entire new line of railroad,
owing to the present difference in the
gauge between the English and Irish
roads, but that would come in time.

would go long way toward making

A Rainy DAY.

It is not until we take the rainfall
In the bulk that we can realize what a
stupendous quantity of water showers
down in Great Britain and Ireland in
one year, and even when we have the
figures before us it is difficult to realize
their magnitude. To say, for instance.
that 9,262,37O, 100000 cubic feet of rain
on an average fell annually in the
united kingdom conveys little or moth
ing, though it implies something moist.
and when we further learn that the
weight of the same amounts to 258,-
26,oOO,0OO tons, except for a feeling of
thankfulness that it did not fall on
our toes all at once, we are onlv con-
sclous that it makes a very pretty row
of figures. With the laudable inten-
ton OF making these latter figures look
small we will merely say that the total
weight of the rain that falls in one
year on the British isles is onlv eoual
to 1-ll9th part of the weight of one
paltry square mile of the earth's sur-
face, from the surface to the center of
the earth. When we consider that
there are 121,0OO square miles of such
surface in the united kingdom alone
one can understand what an infinitesi-
NAL traction of the total weight of the
British isles the annual rainfall would
amount to. Why, 100000 Forth
bridges would almost equal it.-Lud-

ON BUBBLE MAKING,
HOW TO PRODUCE THE ENDUR-
ING ONES.
Those Made by Q Now Process Will
Keep for Several Days-Glycorino as
an Ingredient Adds Much to tho
Beauty of tho Spheres.

Nearly all the boys and girls like to
blow soap bubbles, but the trouble Win
these pretty many colored globes is
that they burst so easily. These need
not be the case if they are blown with
the mixture the recipe for which is CIV
en- here: Cut into very thin shavings
one-fourth of an ounce of CASTLE soap;
dissolve this in ten ounces of wafer,
which is kept warm (not hot), and
when this soap mixture is cool filter it;
put this into a sixteen ounce bottle "a
full pint bottle holds sixteen ounces),
and add glycerine to it until the bottle
is full; put the glycerine in a little at
time, corking the bottle and shak-
ing it as hard as you can after every
few drops of glycerine. When the bot
tie has been filled and thoroughly mix
ed by shaking as above directed cork
1t up and set away, where it will not
be disturbed for few days.
In short time the mixture will be-
come muddy looking, but after a few
days a white layer will be found float
ing on the top, while the rest of it will
DE clear. This clear part must be
drawn out without stirring up the top
layer, and this can be done by the use
OF slphon. A siphon may be made
from any piece of small rubber tubing.
Inc tube must first be filed with wa
ter and if it is small tube it may be
plnched near the middle and the water
Will not run out even when the ends
hang down. Lower one end of the
tube to the bottom of the bottle and
let the other one hang down outside.
be very sure that the outside end
hangs lower than the bottom of the
bottle. 1t you have managed this right
hrst the water that was in the tube
and then the mixture will begin to run
out of the tube and will not stop un-
til the bottle is emptied. Let the water
run out of the tube first, then as soon
as the mixture begins to come out of
the tube catch it in another bottle AS
soon as the white layer on the top of
the mixture comes down to the bottom
of the bottle take the tube out, as you
only want the clear part.
Large and beautiful bubbles may be
blown with this glycerine mixture and
if they are allowed to rest on bone
teethlng ring or soft wooden cloth they
will keep their shape for three or four
hours. If glass shade is placed over
the bubble it will keep for three or
four days.

in from two to three hours. With the
improvements that are to be expected
in ten years 1t should be possible to
get from Belfast, to Galway in three

hours from London to Galway"
But why do you mention Galway -?
That isn't especially noted as sea-
port, is it?"
J, "It is likely to be if the tunnel is
built. It is the most convenient port
to New York, and it is in the most CEN
trail part of Ireland. 1t is the natural
stopping place of the transatlantic
steamers, and may become a port of
great Importance. It would cut sew

likely that the government will refuse.
This case isn't parallel to that OF Mr.
Rhodes railroad. Africa is unknown,
and the receipts from the road were
problematical, but with this tunnel the
receipts can be estimated almost scien-
tif1cally, and besides the tunnel would
have an important effect upon the de-
velopment of Ireland. It Is an affair

understand, can be had as soon as the
government guarantees the interest but
the stockholders will not ask the gov
ernment to step In until the work is
entirely done and the plant is ready
for operation. I know little about the
plans or the financial part OF the
work, but I have no .doubt american

joined might spoil the whole plan, and
make 1t necessary to find some other
place Of crossing than that now select
ed, connecting Stranraer on the
Scotch side with Magee island, twen-
ty miles northeast of Belfast on the
Irish side. This is not the narrowest
point In the channel, but it is the
most feasible. Even here the tunnel
would nave to make detour of two or
three miles under water, to avoid an
especially deep depression running
stong parallel with the Scotch coast.
Win the route as at present laid out,
II is estimated that the tunnel at it's
deepest point would be 500 feet under
the surface of the sea, and that the
steepest gradient will be one in seven
ty-fVe, which is nothing extraordi-
nary.
ANY American engineer would con-
slider the estimate of ten years time
required for this job to be rather lib
eral; for great progress has been made
In the speed of tunnel digging in the
last twenty-five years. When St. Goth
ard tunnel was begun in 1872 the high
est rate of progress was two and a half
yards day. Eleven years later the
average rate of progress in the Arlberg
tunnel was twelve yards a day. Since
then the increase has been rapid. and
II a chance is given to American con-
tractors to bid on the tunnel, the Brit
lsh public will be rather likely to dis
cover that it wouldn't take ten wears to
tie England and Ireland together with
steel.
Not little doubt has been express
ed about the financial feasibility of this
extraordinary undertaking. Would the
government have to go down into it's
pocket to find the per cent? It is
said in reply that a large part of Ire
lands growing commerce would reach
England through the tunnel which
would expect to compete with the,
channel steamers in price, and, of
course, far outrun4 them inzspeed. It is
said, furthermore, that the Green Isle
has vast possibilities as yet undevelop-
ed, and only waiting for something to
come along and stir them up. Owing
to the efforts of Irish capitalists, tour
lists are beginning to take greater in
terest in the island than they ever
took before, and if it were not such a
difficult place to reach, they could be
expected to go there in shoals. AS the
route to Scotland would be so short
and quick, it is expected that Irish pro-
duce would find new and profitable
market in the manufacturing towns of
Scotland and the north of England.
And, perhaps, most important of all,
it is rather expected that a tunnel
would induce some Of the Atlantic
transport lines to make Ireland their
terminus Galway being the place in
mind.

Star line what he had to say about

come pretty soon.
