New Way of Driving Piles.

\ new and expeditions way of drlv.
ing piles Is described in the instruc-
tions for the Russian Engineer Corps.
On two sides of the pile to be driven
are made longitudinal grooves of suffl.
cient width and depth to receive Or
dinary gas pipes of one inch diameter,
terminating In nozzles turned toward
the point Of the pile. The piles are held
in place by light staples, and to their
upper end are attached rubber tubes
connected with force pump, capable
of driving water under q pressure Of
seventy-onc pounds per square inch. 1t
is said the outflow Of this water at the
point Of the pile causes the latter to
sink three or four times more rapidly
than it would under the action of q
pile driver. A few blows are given,
when the pile has reached the desired
depth, to secure the necessary consoli-

horse which, in addition to being a
record-breaker as a goer, Is something
Of rat terrier. Mr.. Locke caught
several rats in Il wire trap and they
were to be let out for the dog to catch.
While the dog was busy with one rat
the horse was an interested spectator,
and seemed to be as enthusiastic as
any one. In some way the second rat
got out of the trap, and as the dog was
busy with the first rat the other would
have escaped had not the horse taken

making a beeline for hole under the
barn. the horse gave chase and plant
ed it's hoof upon the rat and thus held
1t captive until the dog had finished
the first rat, when the horse turned
over the second one to him.

CHICAGO rs DOOMED
SCIENTIST SAYS IN 1900 YEARS IT
WILL BE ENGULFED.

Omcial Records Of Water Levels Prove
This--In ZOO Years Illinois andNi-
agara Rivers VIII Carry or Equal
Portions Of Surplus Lake Water.
Chicago will be wiped of the map
In 1900 years.
This Is what Professor G. K. Gilbert,
the geologist, says. That city is grad
ually being engulfed in Lake Michigan
by the gradual fitting of the earth's
crust. The water, according to the
professor, is rising at the rate of nine
or ten inches century, and by the
yeur 1888 will be flowing uninterrupt-
edly over the natural watershed that
separates the Mississippi and the great
lakes.
Professor Gilbert's Investigations
have been in progress several years.
OMcial rscords Of water levels at four
different lake points showed him that
relatively TO Sackett's Harbor. Char
lotte sank 061 feet in twenty years
This is trifle under three-quarters OF
al inch. The places are ninety miles

ches in twenty years, and as compared
with Escanaha. 100 miles distant. Mil
waukee sank OTIS feet. over two in
cdes ill twenty years.
Thus Professor Gilbert is led to con-
clude that along line running q de-
grees west of southwark there is a sub
sidence taking place now amounting
to .42 feet for every 100 miles, and
that the northern and eastern shores
of all the lakes are rising. while the
southern and western shores are fall
ing.
The Professor thinks that in about
1000 years the illinois and Niagara
Rivers will carry equal portions OF the
surplus water OF The Great Lakes. Ir
24O0 years the discharge of the Niagara
will be intermittent. failing at low
stages of Lake Erie. and $500 years
there will be no Niagara. The basir
of Lake Erie will be tributary to Lake
Huron. the current being reversed in
the Detroit and Ss. Clair channels.

that the improving discourses of Mr..
Barlow to his two young pupils were
in the nature Of political propaganda.
But the mere fact that the pet dog in

sufficient to prevent the sale Of the

Under existing conditions one would
think that the reform press bureau
would sing low on the question of
campaign contributions. The salary

hard-worked employees of the grain

THE TYSON MILLIONS.
Jos. Tyson Neglects 1t end a Cali.

Readers of The GAZETTE will re-
member that little more than a
year ago an article was published
in these columns regardins a 3d.
600, 900 fortune having been left by
one James Tyson, an eccentric old
bachelor of Australia. and that at
torneys are looking for heirs. At
that time it was supposed that Jos.
Tyson of this city, who hailed from
England, where James Tyson orig
inally lived, was an heir in part to
the estate. Mr.. Tyson has not
made any effort since that time to
trace his ancestry, and thus share
in a portion of the estate, but the at
torneys seem to have been success
full, after year of searching, in
finding some of the alleged heirs, as
the following New York special in
dicates:
Miss Elsie Tyson, of Humboldt,
CAL, has sailed for England with an
Australian attorney to assist in OBJ
tanning the claim of the children
and grandchildren Of John Tyson,
who died in New Providence, n.
j., thirty years ago to the $l3. 600,
900 estate of James Tyson who died
in Melbourne in 1888. Ever since
James Tyson S death, his attorneys
of Melbourne have been searching
for those lawfully entitled to share
in his estate. The search has
reached over two continents.
ION a farm in Humboldt, CAL,
Mr.. Wilson, one of the attorneys,
finally found Elsie Tyson, daugh-
ter, of James Tyson. She was
working as a servant. Through
her was learned of the existence Of
John Tyson, in Morristown, N. J..
Foundry works were searched and
the attorney came to the conclusion
that John Tyson, who died thirty
years ago, was the brother of James
Tyson. The family tree will be
searched from it's roots to- its branch
es. Both Tyson brothers came to
this country, one settling in this
country, and the other making his
way to Australia. Most of the de-
scendants of John Tyson are resi-
dents in New Jersey, though one
branch of the family lives in Cali
fornia, where a daughter of the
shoemaker moved some time ago
