cause of its weight, and also of the

The latest thing in this line is a

BIOLOGISTS WIDE or MARK.
Their Errors Greatly Retard Building
Of the Simplon Tunnel.

Engineer Sulzer told the Society OF
Swiss Engineers at Winterthur,
Switzerland, the other day OF the
difficulties that are delaying the com.
pletion Of the Smplon tunnel year
beyond the contract time. He said
that the predictions of the biologists
We're incorrect, and as the estimates
of the cost of the tunnel and the time
1t would take to dig it were partly
based upon the geological profile sup
piled TO the engineers, the estimates
were also wrong.
The views Of the BIOLOGISTS" said
Mr.. Sulzer, proved to be extremely
incorrect. They told us, for example,
that from their examination OF the
dip and strike Of the rock exposures
they we're confident that we should
find the strata tilted to more or less
perpendicular position, which would
be favorable for excavation
But instead Of crossing that strata
in the practically vertical position we
found them almost or quite hori.

perforation and required enormous
sums OF money TO make the roof OF
the tunnel secure. The rock was not
so solid or cohesive as II would have

should encounter little water on the

Confederate Credit Not Very High

That confederate money was never

One day during temporary cessa-

rode into the confederate camp on n
sorry-looking old horse to effect a
trade for some tobacco.
"Hullo, yank!" hailed one of NUM-
Der of confederate soldiers lolling
about on the grass in front OF tent,
that's right smart youall got

Think so?" returned the yank,
Yes; what'll You take for him?"
