The Greatest Tunnel in America.
The greatest tunnel in America is
really to be undertaken in California.
According to the Colfsx Sentinel, G.
R. Rankin, who will have charge OF
the preliminary survey for the rail-
road tunnel through the mountains,
is at Truckee. The surveying party
will consist of twenty-five men and a
camp will be established at the head
of Bonner Lake. Two routes are
being considered. One would leave
the main line at Towle's Station and
follow the north fork of the American
river to Soda Springs. There it would
enter the hill and emerge six miles
further on, at q point lear Sanford
siding. This route would lessen the
trouble from the deep snow in the
vicinity of the summit. The second
route, and the one which may be
adopted, contemplates q tunnel from
Soda Springs station to point near
Bonner Lake, a distance Of about four
miles.

ing of . superior culture from the
n~eighboring stock Of Indians they
readily take to educational influences.
For this reason there was estab-
lished for them one of the best
equipped and largest convent schools
in America, at Helena. The teachers
number so or more and are all sisters
belonging to the order Of st. Ursuline.
Some 500 Indian girls from the reser-
vations in Montana and other points
are now enrolled az regular pupils.
The tuition is free.
The star pupil, however, in the an
mails of this institution, as well as the
tribe, is K~ohnzutin. At Is she en-
tered the convent, coming from her
tepee home, in the Flathead valley,
crude in speech and manners, clothed
in her beaded buckskin; at 10, dressed
in the latest European fashion, she
was able to express herself in fault

sntation to the pope and to be the
center of attraction in the midst Of
q distinguished ~assemblags at the
court Of the vatican.
This ID an enviable record which any
American girl might be proud of. The
lady su~perior's idea in having Kolin-
xutin accompany her on her visit to
Rome was more in the shape of an
object lesson, to illustrate more forci-
bly, than a written report the sue
cess of Catholic educational work
among the Indians. The pope was
deeply impressed by the young In
dian girl, giving her his blessing and
presenting her with a Bible, having his
autograph. She also received presents
from Cardinals Rampolla and Satolli.
Returning she was the enter of in

by her beauty and intelligence. In her

WORST PERIL OF THE SEA.
Boiler Explosions ARE ConSadeped
the Chief FerroPs Of . saAB-
01As LaA1~.

Among the many perils that sur
round a sailors life there is nothing
he breads more than a boiler explo-
sion at sea-. Such a catastrophe il
bad enough on dry land. but when il
happens many miles from land on q
stormy sea there are additional hor-
rors to it. Every year the number
of steamers which disappear and
leave no mark behind to tell of their
fate runs well up toward 100. A
typhoon may sweep down like light
ming out of a clear sky and tear a
ship to pieces, but some floating
wreckage is SURF to tell the tale. A
boiler explosion, IN the contrary, will
blow a hole as big as a tunnel
through the bottom of the ship, and
down she will 60. leaving nothing be-
hind her 70 tell Of her fate. She
sinks like a shot. There is no time
to launch the boats or cut loose a
spar to which to cling. Sailor men
believe that 30 per cent. of the mys-
terious disappearance of steamers
on the sea can be accounted for by
boiler explosions.
The modern system Of steam boiler
inspection for ocean-going steamers
is strict. but it is impossible to guard
completely against fraud and care
lessness. There is an old story of a
drunken engineer who mistook the
thermometer for the steam gauge and
"cursed out" his stokers because he
could not get The pressure above 80
pounds. That is a galley yarn" It
will not "hold water" yet there are
cases almost a bad. which can be

At Hanover Court House.

w. ]. Adams. Mason, Mich, Whites: u
saw the article of j. P. Harley, in the is
sue of Jan. 10, and 1 hasten to prevent, ii
possible, any controversy concerning an
article in the Nov. 9 number, in regard to
the affair at Hanover Court House, May
81. 1862. If the comrade has read that
article, he must have noticed that there is
not a word in it relating to the capture of
prisoners by any regiment in the division.
II simply states the losses in some of the
regiments, as compared with losses of
regiment in the recent war, and ends by
saving that members of regiments compris-
ing MorelTs Division felt rather proud of
their first battle, wherein they claim TO
have captured the first prisoners, etc, ever
taken by the Army of the Potomac from
the Army of Northern Virginia. 1t was
not the purpose of that article to glorify
any one regiment, and l am entirely will
ing that the credit Of that engagement
should be given to those whe deserve 1T.
We frequently see letters from comrades,
asking why other comrades don't write. L
think, possibly, the reason why many com
rades. who could write interesting articles,
fail to do so, is that almost any statement,
no matter how simple, is Liable to be dis
