CLIMBING FOR A CUB

Several times the boys patience was al
most exhausted. and he felt inclined to let
the obstinate little beast go. But his love
for pets conquered, and at dusk he reached
home, his patience, legs and arms sorely
tried, but with living black bear to exhibit
to the wondering children.
A stout chain and collar was substituted
for the belt. and Bruin was secured to sap
ling growing near the door.
Amid all the interests of the day. Jules had
not forgotten the package Of "store-tea," and
in the eyes of one person that little parcel
was of more interest than many dead or liv-
ing BEARS
The next morning Jules and his father took

ged home the old bear that Jules had shot.
At this time of year the~bears are thin, but
her fur was yet heavy, and the pelt was
worth preserving.
The cub developed many amusing traits,
and became the household pet and constant
summer he never became quite reconeiled to
the chain and his lack of liberty
Early one beautiful September morning,
jules youngest. sister, child six years old,
awakened her brother.
"Jules," she explained, "our little bear
looked as if he wanted to run about and play;
so took off his collar, and he went right
into the woods"

had almost blinded it, and made.it unmind-
full of any other danger.
Jules wore stout leathern belt wound
twice around his waist. He made moose at
one end Of this, and had little difficulty in
fastening it over the cubs head.
The frightened animal at first was not in
cIined to leave the water; but when it felt
the moose choking it, it crawled out.

out too many stops caused by its rolling and
tumbling about in vain endeavors to free it

There is a wonderful tunnel at Chicago,
begun in 1864 and finished in 1866, extend
ing two miles out under the bottom of Lake
Michigan, SO that the city may obtain :,
water supply free from the refuse OF the
city. This tunnel, which has now been
doubled, has two. shafts, one on land ana
one in the bed of the lake, rising through a
crib, which crib is defended by breakwater,
and serves as the foundation of a lighthouse.
This was difficult work to manage, owing
to its being through clay and quicksand, but
it is mere nothing as to length.
There is, for instance, the Croton aqueduct,
from Croton down to New York, which is
driven through solid rock for 33H miles. 1he
Hoosac tunnel, of which we have heard SO
much. is Az miles in length. and is 26 feet
wide and 211a feet high.
One Of the greatest group of tunnels, prior
to those now being constructed under New
York Harbor and City, is in Peru, where,
on the Lima and Oroya Railroad, there are
sixty tunnels in hundred miles, the longest
being on the summit of the pass through the
Andes.
This tunnel is two miles higher above sea
level than either the st. Gothard or Mont
Gents, and all the tools and stores and food
had to be carried UP the mountains on mules
At such height the rarefaction of the air
makes labor painful and altogether this Andes
tunnel Is most daring achievement.
When canals were introduced into Europe,
tunnels became necessary to avoid excessive
lockage. and with the railway tunnels be-
came quite common.
OF the older railway tunnels IN England,
the longest is the Woodhead, on the Man
chester and Deeds Line, which is three miles
long, and consists of two parallel tunnels
one for each track
The Box tunnel on the Great Western is
1927 yards in length, and it is on gradient
rising one foot in every hundred from west
to east, while the dip of the rocks is about
the same in the opposite directions.
The eastern end is for short distance
lined with masonry. beyond which for about
half mile the excavation is left without
artificial support, its extreme width being 80
feet and its height from 80 to 40 feet. the
form being nearly that of Gothic arch.
But the uppermost bed of oolite. which
forms the roof of the tunnel, has been left
fat for nearly yard, so as not to weaken it
have attended the cutting of the edges of the
strata to a wedge, had the curve been con-

These are left in the form of steps, each
stratum presenting thick, blunt edge SO
that the upper beds are supported by those
below them, like corbels-an arrangement Civ

The remainder of the, tunnel passes through
clay and fuller's earth and is arched over
with brickwork

The tunnel is 2423 yards long,
and runs at an average depth of 16O- feet
below the surface.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-17

AT the bottom of one of the shafts the
works were in progress when the roof gave
way, deluge of water burst in, and the
workmen escaped with their lives by means OF
raft on which they were lowered by one OF
the engineers swimming with the rope in
his mouth to the lower end of the shaft, out
of which they were safely brought to the
surface.
The Stephensons, George and Robert. took
counsel together. George suggested pumping
the water to the surface, while Robert thought
drift along the heading to serve as drain
might be of more use.
Both measures were tried. One day, when
the workmen were gathered round the en-
trance to the heading, there was roar as of
thunder.
1t was hoped that the water had burst in,
but very little water made it's appearance, and
it was found that mass of sand had fallen
and ehoked up the passage.
There was nothing to be done but pump;
and for eight months the engines kept at
work 10 clear out the millions Of gallons Of
water at the rate Of 1000 gallons minute.
Protected by the pumps, the men worked
as it were, between two perpendicular walls
of sand and water.
The bricks were often scarcely covered with
cement ready for the setting ere they were
washed clean by the streams of water that
poured from overhead, and the men had to
hold over their work large whsks of straw to

to cost $45,0O0 its actual cost was nearly
81 100000.
With regard to this section of the London
and Northwestern Railway, a curious calcula-
tion was made at the time which is not with
out its lessons to those who talk so grandly
of the past N
The Great Pyramid of Egypt was, according
to Diodorus Siculus, constructed by 100000
to Herodotus, by 100,000-men.
It required for it's execution twenty years,
and the labor expended upon it has been esti-
mated as equivalent to lifting 10, 733, ,O00, 900
of cubic feet of stone foot high.
Whereas. if the labor, expended in con
structing the London and Birmingham Rail
way be in like manner reduced to one COM
mon denomination, the result is 25,000,O00,-
600 of cubic feet more than was lifted for the
Great Pyramid; and yet the English work
was performed by about 10000 men in less
than five years.
The Klsby tunnel was not the longest driv-
en- by the Stephensons. That distinction re-
mains with the Summit tunnel near Little
borough on the Manchesterd and Leeds Line,
which measures 1869 yards, and took four
years in building, using UP 100000 bricks
and 5000 tons of cement. and occupying
thousand men.
The long tunnels of recent years have been
driven through the Alps. The ST. Gothard

feet by over 10 feet.
The miners had to work in it knee deep in
water; in fact, the water poured in at the
rate of 5000 gallons minute, enough to
sweep men and horses away altogether.

All tunnels are thus built in short sections
and enlarged from heading though often
the heading is driven along the, floor instead
of along the crown OF the work, as III this
instance.
The excavation is made as nearly as pos,
sibe of the size and shape OF the lntenoea
masonry, and every cavity outside the arch
is carefully filed up. As rule, the tunnel
is begun at both ends at once, and often the
work is started right and left from vertical
shafts along the line very careful measure

a nerfect connection. This is not an easy mat

The greatest tunneling work in England
has been done under water. There are the
Thames tunnel now on the line OF the East
London Railway; the Mersey tunnel, mile
long uniting Liverpool and Birkenhead, and
the Severn tunnel, 1866 yards, long, the most
notable of recent railway works
The Severn tunnel is under an estuary,
being only surpassed by those on the Kenne-
becassis, at the head Of the Bay of Fundy,
in New Brunswick. The water broke into
the tunnel and stopped work for two years;
in 1880 the water was checked and the works
began to advance rapidly. All difficulties
were overcome at length, what with pumping

The making of a tunnel like this is as strik-
ing an example of engineering skill as the
world can show, and many very skllifui tnings
have been done by our railway makers Inc
art of tunneling is an old one, but it never
attained srch perfection as distinguishes IL
today. :,
"A tunnel was driven under the Euphrates
in the days of Semiramis, but before that
period, even in prehistoric times, two tunnels
were driven for the drainage of Lake Copias'
which was cleared of obstructlons IN b. "
About B. c. $40. Eupalinus of Megara drove
his tunnel at Samos through mountain nine
hundred feet high. which was nearly a mile
in length. But the most remarkable Oh
these ancient. works was the tunnel driven river
in the days of the Emperor Claudius connect
ing the Lake of Celano with the River Sris.
This tunnel, which was cleared out about
fifty years ago, is three miles long, twenty
eight feet wide, and nowhere less than twen-
ty feet high; it passes in places through solid
rock, and in other places is lined with
masonry and seems to have been made In
much the same way as our modern railway
tunnels, the excavation having been carried
on simultaneously at different places along
its length by means of vertical shafts and in
clined galleries from the sides of the noun
tain.
In more recent times tunnel for a some
what similar purpose was excavated to drain
the valley of Mexico, which has no natural
outlet. 4t. ;,
In 1908 tunnel more than six miles long
and ten feet wide was begun. 1t was driven
through the formation called tepetate,. or pc
culiar earth with strata of sand and &nari.
It was finished in eleven months At first
excavated without lining. it was afterward
faced with masonry.
1t was not entirely protected when food
came, the dikes above gave way, and the
tunnel became obstructed. The City of Mexi
co was flooded, and it was decided that m
stead of repairing the tunnel an open cut
should be made.
The engineer who had constructed the tun-
mel, Enrico Martinez, was put in charge of
this enormous undertaking, and others took
his place after his death. The cut is believ-
ed to be the longest ever made in the world,
For more than century the work was con-
tnued Its greatest depth is now two hun
dred feet. It was cut deeper, but has par
tally filled with the washings from the
slopes. The cost was enormous more than
