'Jim Hills Folly" Now Does Not APP

"Jim Hills Fclly." after more than
three years work and the expenditure
of S4,OOO,0OO is at last living fact
and a profitable investment. 1t is es-
timated that the saving in expense over

per cent on the cost of the tunnel.
The Cascade tunnel of the Great
Northern extends 1922 feet under the
mountains. Eight hundred men have
been working from both ends of the
great bore. When they met there We're

THEY SLEEP HANGING UP.
Sloths and Bats Suspend Themselves
Without Muscular Exertiou,

There is one animal which lives ell
lirely in trees, but is able to maintain
| its position during slumber without
the least exercise of muscular force,
lays Pearsons. This is the sloth, COM
mon in the forests of tropical America.
Is long claws are so bent that they
hook over the branches and allow the
creature TO hang upside down like an
animated hammock. Curiously enough,
The hammock appears to be South
American invention and Is universally
employed by all the Indian tribes of
the AmaZons. Perhaps the primitive
human dwellers in this region took TO
sleeping in hammocks after observing
the habits of the sloth.
The great ant eater, which is both
a kinsman and fellow cOuntryman of
the sloth. has an enormous tail which
It uses in Il very remarkable manner.
I recently saw two of these strange
animals lying together asleep, and they
had arranged their tails so cieverly that
their Whole bodies were hidden from
view. Moreover it was evident that
shs caudal covering would afford ex-
| eellent protection from the weather,
for the central solid part Of the tails
acted as a kind of ridge pole over the
| highest part of the sleepers' bodies. so
that the long fringes Of hair sloped
| downward on each side like the thatch
upon roof.
Like the sloth, many kinds Of bats
sleep suspended by their hooked claws
without any muscular exertiOn what
ever. Some of the large fruit eating
bats of the tropics, which do not sleep
In holes like the species common in
southern ATTITUDES, but which hang
suspended to the branches of trees in
the open air, adopt a position which
1t wou.d be difficult to beat for econ
omy and comfort. GOuld's fruit-eating
bat, common in the warmer parts of
| Australia, suspends itself upside down
by one hind foot, and wraps its body
in the tentlike folds of its wing men,
branes, which extend right down to the
ankles. Its shoulders, to which the
membrane is attached, are bumped up
| so as to act as caves to shoot off the
rain, and when asleep it draws its head
under their shelter and nestles its nose
among the warm fur Of its chest.

air-brake mechanism, signals. etc, ara
inspected to guard against the posi-
bility of accident. There has never
been an accident on the switch back.
4 huge 12-wheeled mountain engine
is attached to the rear of the train and
first short length of track. called Il
leg" the train stops. switches are
thrown and the train backs on 10 the
second leg. This process is repeated
until a height of 4.02I feet is reached
at Cascade Summit. the entire train
having been raised co. feet from the
starting point as Cascade tunnel.
Scarcely less interesting than the
switch back is the wonderful new
tunnel. The roof ut one place is OF
solid granite $3.50 feet thick. The tun
mel runs straight from the head of one
canyon to that of another. with Il slope
OF about 80 feet to the mile. The east
portal is at an elevation of 800 feet
the western about 3.125 feet.
Thirty-two rock drills. driven by com
pressed air. were used To bore holes in
the rock in the workings. Dynamite
was then inserted and fred. the blocks
of granite We're broken into smaller
pieces. loaded on electric cars and tax
en- out. Outside the tunnel the rock
was delivered to Il crusher with ca
pacity of forty tons per hour. The
fragments were mixed with sand and
Portland cement. taken back into the
tunnel and used to line the inside with
wall of concrete four feet in thick
ness. Huge exhaust fans. driven by
electricity, and system of pipes keer

Dick turned deep crimson and stood
up:
''She didn't do it; did it." he con-
fessed.
'.Sary," Mr. Morris repeated, ignor-
ing his son, you burned the gravy. l
smell it,
NO, | didn't. There. Pass the dress,
ing around"
With a spoon he scooped the delectable
filing of bread crumbs and chopped sau-
sage and chestnuts out Of the breast of
the fowl, piled it on the plates, which
were then passed around Each boy star
ed in astonishment as he received his
plate. and the meal began in silence.
And now, boys" Dicks father said
with a smile. when you're finished with
that we'll fetch in the rabbit
And sure enough, it was brought in,
covered with rich brown gravy and slices
of lemon.
Wont we have n feast, thought" he
exclaimed, looking at Dick.
But this was too much of a surprise for
Dick, and he hardly knew what to say.
When the dinner was fairly started his
father arose to make speech while Mrs.
Morris tried TO repress a smile.
'.As this is day of thanksgiving" he
began, well all give thanks. First,
cause the mortgage is all paid now, and
second cause by n lucky streak the rab-
bit got cooked alone. 1t was discovered
just in time. When two strange feet are
found sticking out Of turkey where it
amt held together, 'tain't hard to guess
what's happened, especially when all the
dressin's left in bowl right beside it
and everythin', generally, looks as il il
had been done in the dark. But seein'
at you'd captured the poor little thing
and wanted it so bad, we just thought
we'd fix it up and serve it to-day, hopin'
that in the future yaou'll never trap any
more"
All laughed heartily as Mr. Morris con-
cluded For the first time that day Dicks
mind was relieved of its great burden
and he joined in the merry laughter He
never heard the end of his trick, but as
his parents had taken it SO kindly he re-
spected their wishes and never again in
dulged in the sport of trapping rabbits.

his mischievous prank might spoil the
| whole dinner. Yes, he was sure it would.
He had never heard Of such articles of
| food being cooked together and he be-
| came badly frightened. He FASTENED to
| undo his work of the night, but it was
too late. The turkey, with its strange
| consort. was already roasting to nice
brown in the oven. He felt very sorry
and when the boys came he took them
aside and told them everything.
..Say, that's the jolliest kind of fun
Archie laughed. I'm glad camev'
so am l." put in Edward. What's
fthe matter, Dick? You don't seem to en-
| JOY this"
Dick thought only of the spoiled dinner
and what his parents would say when
they discovered his trick.
Soon dinner was ready, and the guests
were seated. Then came the vital mo-
ment Mr.. Morris took his place at the
! head of the table and was about to cut
| the turkey.
81 wonder what he'll say when he pulls
the rabbit out" Fred whispered TO Ar
chic Rhodes.
Guess he'll wonder what the turkey
swallowed" was the humorous answer,
.and then both laughed.
Cut that turkey. SAM" Mrs. Morris
! said to her husband; what are you wait
| ing for?'
Mr.. Morris looked around at the smil-
Sng faces of his guests, then dug the knife
| deep into the savory fowl and suddenly
stopped ''Sairy!' addressing his wife,
t."you-"
The boys burst into a fit of laughter.

Ready for Married Life

A young man who has lived Tor thirty
wears in the vicinity of Manayunk, Pa,
is looking forward eagerly TO two I'M
por,ant events in his life-his marriage
and his first haircut. He lost all his
hair at a very early age. In fact, II is
said that he has never had any from
infancy. However that may be. lie has
always worn wig. and his sensitive
ness on this point has prevented him
from assOciating very much with the
fair sex. Some time ago he met Il
young woman. and for the first time i'll
his life lie fell in love. Still he despaired
of winning her, because of his physical
defect. \ short time after the tender
p3ssion first asserted itself he was sur
prised one morning To observe that in
washing his head little down appear
ed on the skin. This continued TO grow
until now he has quite nice head of
hair. He used no noStrums, and local
physicians attribute the growth of hair
to the increased flow of blood 10 the
head under the stimulation of the emo
tions of love. The marriage is not far
distant.
