An Underground Church.

Welsh miners have constructed
what is probably the most remarkable
existing church in the world. Their
house of worship is located $50 feet
underground, constructed entirely by
the miners themselves in the heart of a
coal mine at Mynydd Newydd. near
Swansea, in West Glamorgan. The
walls of the chapel are formed of rough
pine logs and loose scantlings and the
roof Of hard, smooth cliff, whitened
with lime. The "house." as it is called.
is timbered with pit props on either
side and there are two rows of benches
along either wall with seats for 100
men. Circular seats on either side of
the high desk which serves as a pulpit
seat about twenty more. The chapel
is an unattractive place in appearance,
but it has served its purpose ever since
1S45 shortly after the mine was op-
ened.
AS it is safe to work the colliery with
naked lights, the little chapel is illu-
minated with candles. stuck on pillars
and pitted vaults all around. There
being no regular minister, a volunteer
is called upon for each occasion, and
there is no lack Of willing voices. Ser
vice is held every Monday morning at
s o'clock, before the men begin their
days work The service opens with
a hymn given out by the conductor and
the religious chorus rings out through
the modern catacOmbs. All the seats
are occupied and row of men sit out
side with their lamps at their sides.
The service is entirely in the Welsh
language and consists of a chapter
from the Bible, two hymns and two
extempore prayers. The Bible is taken
from its tin case on such occasions and
one of the miners reads the chapter
with emphatic measured intonation.
Another miner offers prayer, and the
sense of the common danger of their
perilous occupation tends to intensity
the veneration and devotion of all the
auditors. One more hymn and another
prayer, and the little gathering dispers-
es after half an hour of service.
The service is most impressive. sole
ly by its simplicity and spontaneity.
Scoffers are unknown there, and it is
admitted that the Mynydd Newydd Pit
has an unusual proportion of sober.
upright workmen. No sect or creed is
specified, and Baptists, Calvinistic
Methodists, Congregationalists and
others take turns with equal heartness
at the prayers, and the hymns used are
SUCH as will do for any and all denomi-
nation. Three men are still attending
the services who were present at the
first service held in the little chapel.
They were boys then having been al
lowed by the lax regulations of those
days to start work in the mines at
ages of 10 and ~ years.

BRIDGE THE PACIFIC
Nature, in Time, viii Construct a
Bridge From AIaska to Rnssin.

There will be a bridge connecting
this country with Asia at no very dis
tant day." said Prof. W. J. McGee, the
Government scientist
II you look at any map OF the world
you Will find the bridge | speak of in
dlcated by the lire OF the Aleutian
chain, which extends from southwest
ern Alaska westward in a curve bear
ing somewhat toward the Russian is
lands, which, pkysiographically speak
ing, form part of the same system. is
the southern boundary OF Bering sea.
The line of islands extends clear across
from Alaska to the Asiatic side. with
many gaps between, which. as | have
stated, remain yet to be filed in before
the bridge Is finished"
But how do you know that they will
be filled in?"
The best possible reasons exist for
knowing that they must be filled in,
and that the land bridge between our
territory and Asia will be made COM
plete. 1t is a certainty entirely be-
yond dispute, that the islands Of the
Aleutian chain are steadily rising. In
fact, gradual folding up of that part
of the earth's crust is taking place, and
the line Of the fold is represented by
the Aleutian islands and the Russian
islands, which continue the system
across the Kamchatka. The territorial
expansion of the United States is pro-
crossing by natural, as well al
through political. means. 1t is pro-
crossing in a northwesterly direction,
owing to geologic causes, the dry land
of western Alaska gaining steadily on
the sea. In other words, the west coast
of Uncle Sans arctic province is adj
vancing toward the Asiatic shore.
The Yukon river is continually
bringing down to the coast enormous
quantities of detritus and depositing it
off shore. The detritus does exactly
what is accomplished in cities where
the refuse dumps eventually form great
areas of new ground for the extension
of streets and the foundations Of
houses. In a word it is a landmaker,
and in the way / describe it has added
thousands of square miles to the Alas
kan Territory. 1t has built the whole
OF the immense Yukon delta, and has
made the waters off shore so shallow
that even small vessels can hardly get
within sight Of the coast. Necessarily
before very many years have elapsed
these shadows will be converted in
their turn into dry land by the con-
tinuous outpour of material from the
river"

Most people suppose" and an ex-
Californian. that the vertical row Of
heroglyphics on a Chinese laundry
check are merely so many numerals.
AS a matter of fact. they are nothing
of the kind, but constitute a brief and
spicy description Of the individual
who left the bundle. If you will take
the trouble to notice it, you will see
that the laundryman always goes
through exactly the same programme
He takes the package, gives you a
swift, comprehensive glance, and then
proceeds to decorate a slip of rice pa
per with from two to five India ink
chicken tracks. What he has really
written is probably something like
this
Fat foreign devil who resembles a

you carry around this fattering pen
portrait, innocently imagining that it
reads, No. 4-11-44, and when you call
for your wash you will find the China
man who receives the ticket will inya-
riably look you over, making mental
comparison, before he reaches for the
bundle. A Monaghan friend of mine
out in Frisco put me on to the scheme,
and | took the trouble to ascertain
whether he was telling me the truth.
l got laundry slip, copied it with mi
croscopic fidelity and submitted II to
several native expert translators. They
all agreed that it ran something like
this:

pous, bald head, like a speckled egg

rather high on my forehead, and 1 have
few freckles, although nothing 10
justify such an insulting description.
However, it proved the point. The next
ticket l got declared l was an elderly
gentleman. resembling Iun-Tai. the
wind god, which pleased me immense
ly until l persuaded a native curio deal
er to show me a statuette of the dietv.
Then l wanted to murder the laundry
man. The Chinese are a deep people

quickly sizing us up and having a big
laugh in their sleeves"

There has lately died in Paris a NJ.
Lucien Delormel, who was generally
known as the song merchant. He was
an able purveyor of music-hall ditties.
and is said to have left a fortune OF
about 100000, principally made by
furnishing cafe-concert vocahsts with
topical songs. NJ. Delormel. who was
only fifty years of age, tried his hand
at dramatic authorship, taking Sardou
as his model, but money did not come
in quickly enough. He started on the
patriotic song business after the war,
and in conjunction with music-hall
comedian named Wiener founded la
ter on firm which guaranteed to pro-
vide cafe-cUncert managers and vocal
lists with ditties. both comic and senti-
mental. The firm prospered, but, like
ETckmann and Chatrian, the partners
disagreed. so Delormel conducted the
business alone. He rarely wrote a
song, but signed those composed for
him by budding Berangers living in
garrets waiting for better days.
Some of the most successful songs
or ballads like those of Yvette Gull
bert, for instance, who was supplied by
the Inflated Jules Jouy, were COM
posed and sung independently of Delor-
mel's assistance or interference, but he
generally directed MS young men to
produce good imitations of whatever
had taken the towI by storm. He is
credited with the Beulangist song, EN-
Revenant de la Revue" and also with
"Pere la Victoire." 1t is affirmed that
he made $4,000 by EN- Revenant de

uTattooed Lady" On the CAM

One sometimes hears rumors Of wo-
men reserting to tattooing as a fad.
but the designs are usually made on
some part Of the body where they will
not be visible in ordinary con-
ditions. A woman on one of the
New York cable cars, the
other day, however, carried con-
spicuous tattoo mark on the back of
her hand little to one side. Her
hands were bare and brown, having
the look of strength and much exer-
else. One faneied that she belonged to
sailor or fisher folk somewhere, and
that she could lend hand when nee
