Straight Aiming Underground.

In driving the long simplon tun-
mel under the Alps a fine test was
offered of the accuracy with which
engineering science can guide the
direction of two parties of workers
starting twelve miles apart so that
they viii meet in the heart of a
mountain. Three principal ele-
ments had to be calculated-the to-
tai length, the level and the direc-
ton as to right or left. When the
two bores met in tie middle it was
found that the length, the least i'm
portant of the clements, differed
only about thirty-one inches from
the calculated value, the difference
in level was less than four inches
and the error in dmec on from one
end was Tess than five inches, from
the other less than foGG inches. The
success of the engineers was remark
able, considering that the tunnel is
twelve and a third miles long

There is a proposition on foot to
fight Britt and Nelson in Spokane
during the month of April, and, it is
said, over $4,000 of the purse money
has been subscribed, says the Spokane
Press. The promoters of the fight re-
fuse to have their names mentioned
at this time, but admit they are dick
ering for some big fight. The half
which the men are figuring on is the
new skating hall, out On the corner of
Elm street and the Seattle Lake
Shore & Eastern tracks
The hall, it is said, could be fitted
up So that it would hold enough of
people to make money. The build
ing is about 100x100 feet, and the
seats, which are not already in the

THEY WILL IMPORT ITALIANS
FOREIGNERS AS LABORERS
IN COTTON FIELDS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 10.-The ex-
pertinent of Col Maxwell, the largest
individual cotton planter in Louisiana
with importing Italian families on his
plantations for the purpose of obtain
ing laborers in his cotton fields, proved
So successful, that it is probable that
an effort will be made not only in
Louisiana, but also in Tennessee and
other southern states, to impart Ital-
ian laborers to supplant the negroes
working in the cotton fields. Col
Maxwell imported twenty-one Italian
families last summer and they proved
of the greatest value. He was SO well
pleased with his experiment that he
has decided to fill every cabin on mis-
plantations with Italians as rapidly as
possible. He firmly believes that the
Importation of Italian laborers and
their families would definitely and
satisfactorily settle the cotton labor
problem. The movement is rapidly
spreading in other cotton states and
an effort will be made to bring a large
number Of Italians to the cotton belt

"STEEPLE JACK" SMITH FALLS
FROM A HIGH CHIMNEY AT
LYNN, MASS.
Falls Into Cart-Load of SCOT at the
Bottom and Life Was
Saved.

LYNN, Mass, Jan. 1O.-The high
chimney of the Sycamore block, on
Union street, became blocked with
SCOT recently, and Mr. Whyte of the
firm of Durkee & Whyte, hired H. A.
Smith, an Everett "Steeple Jack" to
clean it out Mr.. Smith got his kit,
and began at the top Of the chimney,
which is eighty-five feet from the top
to the extreme bottom.
1t was about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing when he went to work. AS there
were a number of fires going in the
building, the gas coming from them
was in such volume that it overcame
Mr.. Smith and ne lost his hold at the
top of the chimney and fell the full
eighty-five feet, striking on his feet
| in about a cart-load of SCOT at the
bottom of the f1ue.
There is square door at the bottom
of the chimney for cleaning purposes.
This door is in the alley between the
| Sycamore block and the Folsom block.
Charles Ogildie, the engineer of the
Sycamore block, heard the crash as
the iron door flew open, and rushed 10
the alley to see what was the trouble.
There he found a black cloud of SCOT,
| and after the wind had scattered it so
as to be able to see the ground, Ogil-
die saw a SCOT covered and apparently
inert mass
Not knowing that the chimney was
being cleaned, the engineer did not
know what was the trouble, but pres
emily the soot-covered bundle of CLOTH
ing moved, and it dawned upan the
engineer that perhaps it might contain
a human being.
After shaking himself and sputtering
about the SCOT getting into his mouth,
"Steeple jack stood upon his feet and
then moved his head, his arms and
limbs. After satisfying himself he was
all there he looked up from where he
had so recently descended
When told by Smith that he had fall
len from the top of the chimney,
Ogildie could not believe it until he
went to the roof of the block and saw
the rest of "Steeple Jacks kit fast
ened to the roof. After partaking of
some stimulants Smith felt a trifle
to get his kit, but instead went to the
home of a friend and remained until
morning when he felt considerably bet
ter, but VISA somewhat bruised and
stiff.

AN ENORMOUS IMMIGRATION
INTERESTING STATISTICS GIVEN
OUT BY THE GOVERNMENT
BUREAU AT ELLIS ISLAND.

NEW YORK, January 10.-The Of
fetal figures given out today by the
bureau of statistics on Ellis Island,
show that the immigration during the
year 1905 was enormous. 1t was far
greater than in 1903, which had been
the banner year and also much
greater than in 1904. The grand to-
tai is nearly up TO the million mark.
There was substantial increase in all
classes and, despite the fact that the
immigration figures were larger than
ever before, in the history of the port,
the number of persons travelling in the
cabins of the liners reached enormous
proportions
Of the total of 1856 persons who
arrived by the various lines from for

RAIN STICKS AND UMBRELLAS.
It's 113 Years Since the First POrta. .ble Shelter was Carried in America.

ble Shelter was Carried in America. From the heavy, cumbrous rain sticks of 1700 to the dainty umbrel' la of 1906 is a long jump. Each succeeding year finds changes in um, i brella styles, usually confined to the handles and supper adornments oi the rod. This years styles have many beautiful fancies, worked out in gold, silver, pearl and ivory. The | finest silk spreads over the ribs Of these rain shields, and they are stout | enough for the use they receives .bu, I Mtild probably give very Short Ser. i vice to the New Yorker who rides in the subway twice day in crowd time..
 It is curious to observe what a difference exists between these wire steel and pearl creations of to-day and the first umbrella ever made, that erected. in the liberal signifi- canoe of the word, by Jonas Han way of London in the year 1756. Mir Hanway detested the cold dripping of London rain so he set about the making of rain stick, which, when completed. weighed a good twelve pounds. and on it's first appearance over the head of. the re- doubtable Hanway caused commo- tion among beholders. Over Han- ways head his tentlike arrangement, the cloth of heavy cotton, extended like a great roof, sufficiently spacious to shelter seven people. It's ribs were of heavy whalebone half an inch thick and braced with bars of wood. It required man of muscle to accomplish five mile stroll with that first umbrella.
 In a month after its appearance a few others had bravely come forth to defy public opinion and the rain. but 1t was not until thirty-seven years later that the umbrella was seen on the streets of old New York.
 Tn a modest shop in Philadelphia the first umbrella of an American make was turned out in 179S, and New York fashionables of the period might have been seen the same year walking in the rain. delighted with the unwieldy arrangement. which they called a rain stick. Its real recognition as a human necessity was synchronous with the invention of the steel rib in 1910.
 From that time forward the um- brella improved in shape and useful ness, though no radical changes have been made. Its principle Is inst the same now as it was a hundred years ago, and occasionally. when hurry ing New Yorker struggles with his rain stick in a pouring rain he feels a doubt about the superiority of the modern article.
