HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL.
Work in Tubes for Trolley Road From
Jersey to Manhattan.

From the New York Tribune.
W. G. McAdoo, president of the CORPORA
ton which is tunneling under the Hudson
river for direct trolley car line from
New Jersey into New York, declared a few
days ago in very clean-cut language that,
barring an accident over which his COM
possible to walk under the river from New
York to Jersey City early in 1904. At the
present rate of progress the north tube of
the double tunnel should be finished about
the end of February. The south tube, it
is believed, will be constructed with con-
siderably greater rapidity than any part
of the north tube, and, if the hopes of the
company are realized, electric cars, either
singly in trains, will be running be-
tween New York aid Jersey city in about
two years.
Incidentally Mr.. McAdoo gave a clear
and emphatic answer to the question as to
how and by whom the tunnel transporta-
ton. is to be conducted-an answer which
seemingly sets at rest the rumors about
control by either the Delaware, LackaWan-
and Western Railroad or the Erie, or
by both together In reply to a question
as to the security of the foundations of the
tunnel. he said plainly that it was designed
for light electric traction, and that no screw
piling support was required. as it will be
for the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel,
through which heavy trains of Pullman
cars will be drawn by electric motors
weighing hundred tons or more EACH
The traffic in the trolley car tubes would, he
said, not exceed in weight that of the
Manhattan Elevated Railroad, and the
margin of safety was q great many times
larger. The cars used. he declared, would
be constructed of materials impossible to
burn, and there would be no possibility Of

PAINTING ON CoBWEBs.
Norwegian Art Little Known
Among Us.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Through the New York post office, the
other day, came a package of some size,
! which, on being opened by the customs Off
GERS in the presence of the person address,
ed was found to contain a picture set in a
frame and painted on spiders web. 1t
came from Norway, where, as was ascer-
tanned, this peculiar art Of making pictures
on cobwebs Is understood by a few individ-
uals who enjoy a monopoly of it. The webs
employed. which are of remarkably dense
weave, occur only in a few localities diff
cult of access, and the supply of them is
very limited.
is a species Of ground spider. There are
plenty of ground spiders in this country.
of course, and on any dewy morning early
one may observe their webs spread here
and there like tiny blankets on the grass.
These webs are of different construction
from ordinary aerial cobwebs, and dense
ly woven. but one would not like to try to
paint pictures on them.
Spider silk is the finest and most beaui-
full in the world, and exquisite fabrics have
been spun from it. There was handker-
chief made of it while ago in the museum
of the Department of Agriculture at Wash
irgton but it has disappeared. Unfortu-
nately the material cannot be obtained in
large quantities, because spiders, when kept
together in numbers (as has been found by
triaD eat each other up. So. pretty soon
instead of a colony of spiders, there is only
one large. fat arachnid left.

WOLVES IN QUEBEC.
The Larger Number Of Red Deer Gives
Them Food

Quebec Correspondence of the New York Sun.
With the approach Of winter comes a
big Increase In the number and the boldness
of the wolves that are visiting the northern
fringe of settlements in the Pontiac and
Gatineau districts of this province. Last
wear the scourge was so great that Premier
Parent, who presides over the department
of woods and forests, was asked to offer a
substantial bounty for killing them. Upon
his initiative the legislature authorized the
payment of S. head. The amount has
proved too Insignificant however, to tempt
hunters to devote themselves to killing the
animals, and scarcely any bount'es have
been claimed
This is not because wolves are not plenti-
full enough They seem to have multiplied
with the increase of the red deer, and the
large numbers of them seen last winter
and in the present autumn are to be &C
counted for by the fact that the deer dread
man less than they do the wolves and rush
toward civilization to escape from them,
followed by their relentless enemies. Then
again the government of Ontario offers a
reward of SIS for each wolf killed, and the
constant chase of the animals in that prov
ince tends to drive them toward Quebec,
where they are seldom attacked.
The wolves are now becoming such a nui-
sance that the farmers are crying out
against their depredations In one parish
they have destroyed more than hundred
sheep and lambs. Scattered settlers in the
northern parts of the province say that the
bowls of the beasts at night are terrifying,
and many parents fear to send their young
children alone to school in the thinIy popu-
lated country.
In Pontiac farmer recently came upon
a bear and two wolves busily occupied with
the carcasses of several deer. He had his
rifle with him and managed to kill one of
the wolves. the other brute taking to it's
heels. The bear turned on him, though 1t
had received two bullets before coming up
to the man, and he managed to overcome it
with repeated blows of the rifle. Where he
had first seen the beasts enjoying their
meal the man found the remains of no less
than six red deer. 1t is estire ted that the
wolves in Canada kill many more deer than
hunters do. If allowed to carry on their
work of destruction lit is feared that they
