TUNNEL ADVENTURES.
A Fox Nvat In Which Q lseemetivs
Yook Part.

Tssk Part.
A very strange incident happened
in the Severn tunnel recently. just
Is an express train entered the tun-
mel soldier in q third class carriage
flung open the door and attempted
to jump out. Fortunately one Of
the passengers succeeded in seizing
the mans coat tails and with the aid
Of other passengers held him there
head downward. They could not
pull him back, for the suction was
too great. The communication
cord was pulled, the train stopped
and the rescued maH. who it ap-
pears had suddenly become insane,
was placed under arrest
This Is not the first exciting Incl
dent which has happened in the
great boring which carries the Great
Western railway beneath the bed of
the Severn. Some five years ago a
Cardiff commercial traveller went to
sleep in train bound from Cardiff
to Bristol and, waking with shock,
found himself lying in pitch dark
ness beside the permanent way in
the tunnel.
How he got there he had not the
faintest idea. Probably he had walk
ed in his sleep. At any rate, he was
not much hurt, though he had evi-
IDENTITY been unconscious for some
time. He had not the faintest idea
how far it was to the entrance nor
which way to go. Soon he became
violently thirsty. He heard water
trickling down the wall close by, but
when he collected some in his hands
he found it was salt.
He made a brave effort to find
his way out, but dizziness came on
and he fell unconscious. As he lay
there another train passed, and the
poor man must have had a desper-
ately narrow escape, for it was
found that his left boot heel had
been cut of and his ankle sprained.
Plate layers found him eventually
and carried him to safety. He had
been six hours in the tunnel.
Some winters ago Welsh tunnel
was the scene of a most exciting
episode. One day in January, 1902,
the Carmarthenshire hounds found
4 fox, which made at first straight
for. the coast, but, being turned by
some villagers, took to the railway
line and ran into long tunnel, fol-
lowed by the whole pack. The mas
ter, Mr.. Harries, realized the dan
ger to the hounds and at once fol-
lowed them.
He was fully quarter Of mile
down the tunnel when roaring
sound behind warned him that q
train had entered the tunnel. Al
most instantly the glare of the
headlight lit the dripping walls, and
the horseman, clapping spurs to his
horse, began to gallop at full speed
through the darkness. Then fol-
lowed most exciting race for life,
the man riding at the pitch Of his
horses pace, the train laundering
in pursuit.
BY q sort Of miracle the horse
kept his feet, but the train gained
rapidly. At last the white circle Of
the tunnels mouth appeared, and
the driver Of the engine noticed the
black silhouette Of the rider against
the light and slackened speed.
Rider, hounds and all came safely
out Of the perilous predicament in
which they had plunged themselves.

An Interesting Experiment.

Water is composed of two ele-
ments, oxygen and hydrogen, and
those two elements unite when the
fame of the candle gives off its hy-
drogen into the oxygen Of the air.
You may prove this by simple ex-
pertinent. Hold cool and perfect
ly dry turnbler over a burning can
die, and the inner surface Of the
tumbler will soon become dimmed
with moisture. Presently little
drops of water will collect on it,
and if it were possible to keep the
tumbler cool all the time you might
got enough water to fill another
tumbler. This seems like a magi-
clans trick, but it is a simple law
Of nature. The vapor given of in
the burning is condensed into water
by contact with the cool glass.

D. to . Goose.

It is sometimes said of 4 timid
person, "He looks Is if he couldn't
say Bo to q goose" Did you ever
hear how the expression originated 2.
It may be found perhaps in the
story Of Bo, a great captain and
fierce one, who was son to Odin in
the mythology of the north. His
name was used by his soldiers to
frighten the enemy. They tell
good story of Ben jonson, the poet,
In connection with the "Bo" saying.
He was introduced to a Lord Some
body or other, and the nobleman
was so much surprised at the home
y appearance Of the poet that he
said: "What, are you Ben Jonson?
You look as if you could not say
Bo to goose!" "Bow said Jonson,
making . bow to his lordship.
