BREATHING COMPRESSED AIR
Entering the Lock of the East BOs-
ton Submarine Tunnel.
Boston Transcript.


We were in the tunnel, about fifty feet
below ground, but still on dry land and
in the ordinary atmosphere. It arched
above us exactly like the subway. All
over the bottom Of it were rickety little
car tracks, to carry out the earth which
is still being excavated, and just beyond
us the tunnel was partitioned off-Drlcked
ND with solid wall-through which, how
ever ran a hollow cylinder about as big
and as long as the boiler of locomotive,
and through that tube we were to go.
Ever been under compressed air be-
fore?" asked my guide
NO
"Heart every been seriously affected?''
I called to mind an ethereal lyric. dedi-
Gated when I was even younger than l
am now, but answered NO With this
assurance we entered the cylinder with
few cars for company, the little steel
door closed behind us with a hollow bang
which made me feel like rat in a trap
and then came "a deafening roaring and
kissing as the valve from the under water
part of the tunnel rushed Through the
pipes into our small compartment to make
our atmosphere pressure equal to it's own.
Keep swallowing!" shouted my guide,
with his mouth close to my ear. So 1 kept
swallowing. Hold your nose and bowl
held my nose and blew out my cheeks,
so as to force the air into those tiny ca
nails That lead from the throat TO tne
inner side of ones eardrums, and thus
equalize the pressure on them. And
along with the roaring of the air came
many strange new roarings and singings
in my head as the pressure went UP and
up and the air grew warmer and heavier,
like the atmosphere in dollhouse, and
more difficult to breathe. Finally the
roaring ceased, the door at the opposite
end of our tube, which but moment ago
could not have been forced open by TWEEN
ty men. now swung easily back, and we
stepped out into an atmosphere which,
could itshave burst through the door upon
us, instead of coming to- us gradually
through suitable small valves, would have
blown us bodily out Of the tube and into
the next world, like so many. crimson and
yellow autumn leaves. a ISL

Joe Kiichi Buys Half Interest in

Joe L. Kiichli has always had an idea
that if he had newspaper he could show
the world how paper should be run.
That he has been, much dissatisfied with

W. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, is receiving letters
daily from all parts of the state asking
