TUNNELiN0 THE HUDSON,

cent Birth.
The idea Of tunneling the Hudson Is
by no means Of recent birth. Several
attempts In this direction have been
made since 1874, when the first COM
pany to undertake the construction Of
q sub.HudsOn tunnel came into being.
Little progress had been made, how
ever. when, through IN accident to
the door of an air-lOck at a critical
moment, the tunnel was flooded and q
number OF labOrers were drowned.
The water was pumped out and work
resumed. but bad leak once more
caused long delay. BY this time
something had been accomplished In
both tunnels, but the company had
now come to the end Of its financial
resources and was obliged to order q
permanent cessation of work. The
years passed. and eventually an EN-.
glish syndicate undertook to complete
the tunnel. In their turn they found
the task beyond their powers. Final
ly Mr.. Jacobs declared his willingness
to begin where the others. defeated,
had withdrawn. He and his associates
are now satisfied that they have solved
the most difficult problem likely to
arise In this or future subaqueous tun.
mel work. They have assuredly proved
that air. II properly reinforced, will
serve to stem the most powerful OF
torrents, and the demonstration Of this
must be said to mark a milestone In

GRAY ANTS OF SIAM,
small Insects That Travel in Troops
and Seem to Have II Larger
Leader.

Charles Meissen, French explorer,
in travelling through Siam, observed
species of small gray ants which
were new to him, says the Kobe
lJapan) Herald. These ants were
much engaged in travelling. They
lived in damp places and went in
troops, To his surprise he noticed
among them from time to time an oc-
Sasional ant which was much larger
than the others and moved at much
swifter pace, d each of these larger
ants, NJ. Meissen saw, always carried
one of the gray ants on its back.
While the main body of gray ants
were always on foot they were ac
companied by at least one of their
own sort mounted on one of these
larger ants. 1t mounted and de-
tached itself now and then from the
line, rode rapidly to the head, came
swiftly back to the rear, and seemed
TO be the commander of the eXpedi-
tion.
The explorer was satisfied that thi
species of ant employs a larger ant
possibly a drone of the same spe
cies-just as we employ horses to
ride upon, though scarcely more than
one ant in each colony seems to be
provided with a mount

THE LOST SIXTEENTH.
Scientists Cannot Tell where
IL Has Gone.

If one grain of sand on the shore
were to spend years in trying to find
il, they would be attempting q task
resembling that TO which leading as
tronomers of England and France are
now dcvoting themselves, says the
Toronto (Ont) Mail and Empire.
One-siXteenth of second is missing,
and no one can tell where it has
gone. Between the suns time, as
recorded at Greenwich, and as under
stood at Paris, there is that brief
and seemingly unimportaut dis
crepancy. No expense is being spared
to trace the missing fraction. \ spe-
Cial building has been erected Mt
Paris, costly instruments installed, a
corps of mathematicians engaged,
and a process that may take years to
complete has been commenced. The
iuaccuracy is more important than
will appear to the lay mind. Longi-
tude is calculated on the basis of
Greenwich time. 1t determines the
boundaries of many countries. A
slight variation of time may change
the nationality of thousands of peo-
pie. The pursuit of the missing frac-
tion of second is therefore of
worldwide importance. We shall all
be much relieved when it has been
found, for then not a grain of the
sands of time will be missing.

THIEVES in A WHIP DUEL.
Agree to Lash Each other Rather
Than Go to Jail for Their
Theft.

In Anderson county, S. c., two ne
groes were recently caught in the act
of robbing a farmer, and, rather than
60 to Jail, they offered TO accept any
punishment the farmer might intiict.
The farmer decided that they should
whip each other. The negroes were
taken into a field and stripped to the
waist. There is no whipping-post
law in South Carolina, but this did
not interfere with the plans for the
iashing. Each was given buggy
trace, and they fought each other un-
til the blood began to flow.
A big crowd gathered to watch the
duel of whipping. A neighbor of the
man who had been robbed acted as
referee, and made the negroes break
clean when they clinched.
Under the rules the contest had to
continue until one negro had given
the other 100 lashes. Foul tips were
not counted. Finally, after a desper-
ate fight, the referee lifted his hand
as signal to stop. The man who
suggested the whipping had given
his enemy 100 lashes. He got rs.
They were in bad shape when the
sight ceased, and went to bed.

BOND IN A PICTURE.
Valuable Paper Found by German
woman In an Old Dagucrreo-

The treasury departVent lately re-
reived from United States Consul
General Guenther, at Franltfort-on-
the-Main, Germany, a United States
bond for $500, which he forwarded for
redemption for the benefit of Mrs.
Martha Schnell, an old woman living
at Bornheim, reports the Washington
Star.
lie writes that Mrs. Schnell has a
fad for collecting daguerreotypes,
and recently in cleaning one she had
had about ten years, she accident
ally broke the glass covering the por-
trait, disclosing the bond, which had
been neatly folded and placed in its
hiding place many years before.
Mrs. Schnell was about to throw IL
away, but was persuaded to take It
TO the United States consul to ascer-
tain If 1t had any value.
The portrait is faded beyond pos
siblc recognition, but the old case
shows that it was made in Worces-
ter, Mass.
The bond is of the issue of July 1,
1867, series c, and has 2s coupons
attached, showing that the last one
was removed for interest due Janu-
airy 1. 1873 Interest on the bond,
however, ceased on April G. 1870.

QUEER USE FOR HUMAN SKIN.
Mummies Ground by Machinery and
Converted Into Paint for
Artists COIors.

Not many persons are aware OF the
fact that the best brown paint used
by artists is made from human
bodies. The bones and skin, which
are ground up by artists colormen
and sold in tiny tubes, are those of
mummies taken out of the Egyptian
mausolemms.
When a person died in Egypt a cen
tury or two b. c.. he was preserved
in the finest bitumen. The remains
of body treated thus in those times
on being unwrapped to-day present
an appearance similar to light
eolored leather. The bitumen and
the leather-like remains are ground
down by machinery, and turned into
beautiful brown liquid paint which
is the delight of all artists.
In the manufacture of artists
corors, animal vegetable and mineral
substances are largely used, states
the Detroit News-Tribune. Crimson
and purple lakes and carmine are all
obtained from the cochineal insect.
Sepia is the dark fluid discharged by
the cuttlefish TO render the water
cpaque for its own concealment
when attacked by larger fish. Prus-
sian blue is made by fusing the hoofs
of horses with impure potassium car
Donate, and ultramarine is obtained
from the precious mineral known as
lapis laZuli.

REVEALS INCONSISTENCIES.
ia Noticeable why by the
Camera.

EFF women would but remember"
remarked the Photographic artist,
THAT the gown when composed of
more than one material should look
like one garment worn over the 9TH
er, they would save themselves from
some grievous artistic errors in
dress. Take the case of the double
sleeve now so popular, The idea is
that Of a comparatively heavy outer
sleeve, cut away to show the lighter
and generally prettier arm covering,
and woman with any artistic feeling
always preserves that effect, even
though she may not act on any definite
principle.
"But artistic feeling is a rare thing:
therefore, the double sleeve is the oc-
casion of many artistic atrocities. One
actually sees such sleeves cut in two
at the elbow in order that the pun of
silk may be inserted, thus leaving the
lower half without any apparent con-
nection with the shoulder, and nothing
to prevent it, so far as the eye can see,
from sliding off the arm. The sleeve
may with perfect propriety be slashed
at the elbow to show silk lining, but
to cut it in two for the purpose of in
terting another material is merely max
ing patchwork Of it. Another custom
is to put the material with which the
sleeve terminates over, instead of UNI
der, the predOminating material, thus
destroying the idea of an undersleeye
entirely, and leaving the construction
without any show of reason for its
existence.
