smart, some quick, some dull and many
slow. They vary in height and age from
four feet and ten years to six feet or more
and sixty years more. Their size does
not vary proportionately with their age,
however, for there are little fellows of not
much more than four feet in stature, but
with the faces of men seasoned by thirty
years or more of hard work and rough ex-
perience; others are gawky overgrown
lads of smooth and open countenance, APP
parently not more than thirteen or fourteen
years old, towering between five and six
feet in height. There is one endowment.
though. that is peculiar to nearly all of
them, and that is a lusty pair of lungs fitted
with stentorian vocal chords. These they
use to good effect in the management of
the mule, whose natural stubbornness
seems to be modified somewhat by violent
drivers. Very few men with small voices,
ers.
The work now being done is of prelimi-
nary character, and consists in removing
the surface soil and heaping 1t in large
mounds out of the way. This top soil Is all
saved and as the filters are finished will
be used to cover them, the surface then
being sown with grass Later on number
of steam shovels will be used In the work
and the earth transported to the fills on
small side dump cars running a narrow
gauge track. This track is built alongside
the shovel as it moves forward and the
cars will be moved by means Of a cable.
Three of the steam Shovels which are to
be used in the work have been ordered
shipped and are expected to arrive within
a week or two.

THE FILTRATION PLANT.
Rapid Work on Excavation - Large
Group of Building Erected.

Work on the filtration bed, which is to oc-
cupy the squares between North Capitol
and LIST streets west is well under way. Al
though the full equipment for the work OF
excavating has not arrived, there is already
large force on the ground. A stable has
been erected to accommodate the hundred
or more mules used in the preliminary
work, and together with the offices, TOOL
houses and store rooms, there Is large
group Of buildings which give some evil
dence of the magnitude Of the work under
way.
A busy scene Is presented to the observer
who ventures near the dense dust cloud
that hangs over the place continually. Big
ploughs, each drawn by team OF 1oui
mules, are furroughing the virgin SOL
rapidly and scoop shovels on wheels, eacn
drawn by two mules, quickly remove the
earth thus loosened.
Everything moves rapidly and with pre-
cision. A continuous line of the scoops Is
constantly moving to and from the fresh
ploughed area. There is much shouting by
the drivers and rafting of traces by pranc-
ing teams. The dust being all the time SO
dense that from short distance the move
ment OF the animals cannot De dlstin-

Capt. Clough Overton, who was killed

Bank of England were startled TO re.

known man In the strongroom or the
bank at midnight. you think you Is
all safe hand you bank his safe. but

SO hif yer will NETT NEE in the great
squar room, with all the moneys, at

only thor cum down, and say muffin
to nobody" The strongroom was
guarded the next night in spite of a
disposition to regard the letter as n
hoax by police and-nothlng happened.
The next phase of the mystery was
more astonishing than ever A heavy
chest of papers and securities taken
from the strongroom arrived at the
bank. with a letter complaining that
the directors had set the police upon
the writer. and that he had therefore
not appeared as he promised. but to
prove that he was neither a thief nor
a fool he sent chest of papers he had
taken from the bank. Let few gen
tlemen be alone In the room. and he
would join them at midnight. said the
writer, and to cut short long and
strange chapter of bank history. a man
with a dark lantern burst into the
strongroom of the bank at midnight
after calling from behind the stone
walls for the directors to put out the
lights. He was one of n strange class
of men who gained living by search
ing the sewers at night. and through
an opening from sewer he had found
his way into the richest room in the
world.-St James Gazette.
