oneninr the simpIor Tunnel.

On April 2 the first trains ran
through the Slmplon tunnel. Engineer
Brandau. who had directed the work
on the tunnel, took the train in from
the Italian side and reached the iron
door which had been erected to stop
n flow of hot water and which still
kept the two sections asunder. Pres
emily the train from the Swiss end was
heard beyond the door. By means OF
hammering the two parties communi-
Gated with each other, and In few
minutes the door was knocked down
and the tunnel was open. Mr.. Rose
mund, the engineer In charge Of the
work on the Swiss side, shook hands
with Mr.. Brandau. Bands played the
Swiss anthem and the italian royal
march. The Italian bishop embraced
the Swiss bishop, who then preached a
short sermon and asked Gods blessing
on the tunnel and all the human good
will and good labor which 1t repre-
sents. This was q dramatic and devout
Inauguration Of great work in which
the whole world is interested. The
formal opening of the tunnel will not
occur for some months.-YOuth's Com

Number Of Shoe Lace Eyes Used.

Some of the apparently most trivial
things in this world are the most neces-
sary things, and fortunes are made In
manufacturing them" said Ralph l..
Jenkins.
Take the lace eyes of shoes, for In
stance. The average person never gives
them a thought, but they are indispen-
sable to our footwear, and there are
factories that devote themselves exclu-
sively to making them. Did you ever
stop to think how many Of those LITTLE
things are used every year?
"On the basis Of the population Of the
United States being sOOOO'OOO, this
country uses more than 3,0OO,0O0,0O0 of
lace eyes and hooks a year. Every
man, woman and child will wear out
on an average two pairs of shoes in
twelve months. The majority Of people
have two feet, and there are twenty
eyes and hooks in each shoe. Use your
arithmetic and see what the total is. 1t
foots up to 100000 more than 3,0O0,-

s..u TRIMS on English Railways.

A gentleman was standing on the
towering deck of the Cedric last sum-
mer when she came alongside the dock
at Liverpool. By his side was huge
Californian who was making his first
European trip and was full Of curiosi-
". He looked far down from the up
per deck to the little train of coaches
that was waiting to carry the passen-
gers up to London and asked what
they might be. He was told that 1t was
the special train to London.
"Do people travel in those things
here?" the big Californian said. why
when l was a boy 1 used to play with
trains like that"
The comparison was not inapt. AS
late as the year 1900 the average
freight train load in England was but
fifty tons-that is to say, the average
train load was only equal to the capaci'
" Of one of our modern freight cars.
There has been some Improvement
since then, and there is now marked

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Why It's officials Are Worried by the
UNDERGROUND Railway.

Officials of the Bank of England are
said TO be worried for the safety or the
boards of wealth stored in their strong
hoxes The bank station of the new
underground railway in London Is
close to the vaults of the worlds great
est institution of finance. At recent
meeting of the bank directors it was
suggested that some brave but wicked
nerson might set off quantity of OK
plosives in the bank station, wrecklng
the foundations Of the stately build
ings above and sending the bars OF
bullion and the streams of gold com
leaking out on to the station PLATFORM
The feasibility of this scheme has been
conceded by the bank governor. IL Is
figured, however. that the tube, as
the underground railway is called, IS
n little too deep at this point. 10
roach the bullion vaults of the bank
the conspirators would have to drive a
shaft nearly q hundred feet, and then
they would face mass OF concrete
thick masonry and steel. At one time
the Bank Of England was the OBJECT
Of q conspiracy. From a church tower
close by the bank was bombarded. All
onward the authorities had the church
and its threatening tower destroyed.
Officials of the bank do not like the
tunneling going on in the clay beneath
their foundations. The constant pump
ing Of water has affected even the
solidity of the clay, and from this cause
one of the wells which Is within the
three acres comprised within the
banks precincts has dried up.
Those three acres are valued at about
100000 each, and the treasures
within them are guarded in fitting
fashion. On either side Of the man
entrance to the bank are two small
glass houses. In one reposes stately

The Elephants Eye.

ITO my mind two things strike the
observer wildly when standing close
to wild elephants in their native
haunts," writes a traveller. "The one
Is the gigantic size and his own CON-
parative smallness. The other is the
expression Of the eye. This organ,
which is surprisingly small in proper
ton to the size Of the animal and set
far back In the head, is Of a pale blue
color much resembling that Of a wall
eye In horse. Even when an ele-
plant Is at rest his eye has an uncom-
fortably cold and sinister look"
