Tube Under Chicago River f. Toe
Badly Damaged TO Permit
Repairs.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12-It was decided today
by engineers employed by the city that
the tunnel under the Chicago river at La
Sale street must be abandoned. For years
the tunnel has been an obstruction to
navigation as its roofs are so high that
deep draft vessels heavily loaded almost
invariably strike its roof.
The War department ordered the tunnel
lowered and the work has been IN progress
for some time. The engineers, however,
have found the roof so badly damaged
by the pounding it has received from
vessels as to be incapable OF repair and
they have therefore recommended It be
abandoned

The jungles of Central America and
Brazil are masses of vegetation so
dense that it is practically impossible
to penetrate them. Swain and his par
ty when crossing the isthmus Of Da-
rien labored hard with their hatchets
and machetes the whole of one day and
achieved but half mile. In many
parts Of Central America the under
growth renews itself 80 rapidly that It
is almost impossible to keep road
open through It In one instance In
Honduras a road sixteen feet wide was
made by engineers and laborers
through n jungle. the underbrush and
vines being cut away even with the
ground. Two weeks later. returning to
complete the work by laying stones on
the rOadbed they could not find the

A bridge I1<pt In Repair By Mussel

A bridge I1<pt In Repair By Musse1s,
The byssus, or silky beard, by which
the mussel moors itself to the stone, r.
familiar object of our sea rocks. II
Is in its nature like the silk Of the silk
worm and exudes In n glutinous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot
The following IS an instance In which
the mooring Of the mussel was useful
to effect purpose which human skill
could not accomplish: A large bridge,
with twenty arches, in the town of
Biddeford. In Devonshire, crosses the
Torridge river near the spot Of its
junction with the Taw. The tide flows
so very rapidly here that it was found
impossible to keep the bridge in repair
by means Of mortar. The corporation
therefore keeps boats employed in
bringing mussels to 1t, and the inter,
st.ces Of the bridges are filed by hand
with these mussels. 1t Is supported
from being driven away by the tide
entirely by the strong threads which
these mussels fix to the stonework. and
by an act or grant 1t Is a crime liable
to transportation for any person to re.
move the mussels unless In the pres.
ence and by the consent Of the cor
porative trustees.-Scottish Nights.

INGENIOUS COOKERY FRAUDS.
How Cod Becomes Salmon and Beef Veal
Substitute for Breast of Chicken.

1t has almost passed into a proverb
that many of the dishes served up i'll
cheap restaurants where nothing is vast
ed are, to put it mildly, mysteries. But
on the other hand, most people WHO
patronize fashionable and more ambitious
restaurants are generally content TO ac-
Cept the menu for what it is said to be.
The blind trust is, however, in many
such restaurants somewhat abused, aud
the amount of taking which goes on
today in some of the Well-to-do esta blish-
ments would probably surprise those who
are uninitiated in the higher branches
OF the culinary art
For instance, says the London Tit
Bits, by the addition of vegetable juice
just before being dished mp, cod outlets
are, at seasons when salmon is very
dear, set before customers as salmon cut
let's, and are. needless to say, charged
accordingly. This deception according
to an ex-chef, is widely practlsed not
only in better class restaurants, but also
on some of the great liners.
Another popular trick as practised by
the restaurateur is TO serve as veal beef
done up over night in salted bandages,
while a skillful chef has very little diff
ticulty in palming off whiting for sole
on epleures who pride themselves on the
soundneSS of their judgment Of cooking.
few weeks ago q dinner for seventy
i've people was ordered at a well-known
fashionable restaurant a large con
sgnment of salmon had been previously
ordered, but TO the CONSERVATION OF the
chef the dinner hour slowly approach ed
and still no salmon arrived
In despair the chef-a frencnman--de-
cided to take the bull by the horns and
procure another fish to do duty for the
coveted salmon. Accordingly he Sot ta
work to turn cod outlets into salmon cut
lets, and this rapid Transformation was
soon effected by an addition Of vegetable
juice. The walters. who naturally were
aware of this wholesale deception, were
gwen express orders to report any com
plants to the chef at once However. 10
the intense delight Of the chef all passed
Oh well, and on hearing that his SHbter-
fuge had not been detected he gleefuliy
exclaimed All. cod and French cook

Green peas at certain seasons Of the
year are naturally a luxury quite beyond
the reach of the man Of average means,
while even caterers for fashionable no
tets themselves frequently have the great
est difficulty in getting a sufficiently large
quantity to meet the demand. However
