Psyche, it's not a bit of good think
ing about working in this cave" said /.
when l had brought myself into a prac-
tical state of mind again. THE first
blow might bring another avalanche down
on us, and ones enough in day. It's
still less bit of good making any at
tempt in French Peters cave, for, to
begin with, | don't care to risk my neck
in scaling the slope without light, and
candles are too precious to burn: and
secondly, those blocks would be found
more treacherous to work on than these
before us. Very well, then, if we cannot
attempt anything in these two caves. there
remains only your bedchamber to 90 at.
That is certainly the safest of the three.
and l think We can chop away at the cliff
there till we can't chop any longer, with
no fear of dying by anything worse than
starvation. Now, how can l tell YOU
that | want to be led into the little cave.
Psyche! Do you know what this means !?

out candle, and it surprised me now to
find how much lighter it was than ex-
pected. l could make out the form of
Psyche, and when we came immediately
below the strip of blue | could here dis
tinguish her features, although the open
ing through which the light came was
a mere crack. The tide had cbbed, and
there was no longer a pool in the cavity.
but Psyche running down the bottom and
scooping away few handfuls of sand
showed me that there was still water not
far below the surface. l was sorry to see
this, for it had occurred to me on seeing
the water gone that we might be able to
tunnel under the rock instead of through
it. and so make our escape by the shore.
Still there was hope that the tide was
not yet at its lowest.

Journeymen tailors at Palo Alto, Cal,
have organized.
In several States the machinists' unions
have increased nearly 800 per cent in
membership during the last year.
Fourteen new unions have affiliated
with the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor since the beginning of the year,
and five applications are pending.
San Francisco (Cal.) union men affil-
lated with the iron trades council have
voted to strike May /. Over 5000 men
are involved. They demand an eight-hour
day.
Chicago (Ill.) elevator men have been
negotiating with the building managers
for an increase of SO month in wages
and the matter has been submitted to ar
bitratiop.
During the twenty-one years of the
existence of the United Hatters of North
America they have used 2700O0,OOO la
bells. Last year the union hatters made
nearly 30,OO0,OOO hats.
A new wage scale increasing the wages
of the union BARRIERS of Oakland, CAL, is
under discussion between the bosses and
the employees. The wages will be arrang-
ed upon sliding scale.
The International Union of Bill POST
ers and Billers have articles of agree
ment with all circuses and outdoor shows,
through which all bill posting and billing
will be done by union men.
The Musicians Union of Cincinnati.
Oh'o, Is in tangle with the Cincinnati
Orchestra Association. The main cause
Of the trouble is over the desire of the
association to draw on European talent
to the detriment of musicians in this
country.

LEGISLATION FOR EFFECT.
Many Bills introduced in Congress
to Impress Commitments.


Less than 5 per cent Of the bills in
PRODUCED in Congress relate to public
business. Instead, they have to do
with matters bearing directly or indi-
rectly on the Congressman's hope of re-
nomination and reelection. The total
number of house bills introduced dur
ing the first session Of the Fifty eighth
Congress Gncluding the special SEES
sion), was 1876. OF these, only 1915
were public measures. The other
1881 were private. Two hundred
and siXtyfOur public laws were enact
ed and 1896 private laws. Much of
the proposed private legislation was
put in without any thought of it's ulti-
mate passage; but, whether it was ex.
pected to pass or not, and whether it
was pushed or not the purpose of its
introduction was generally the same
to give an appearance of activity and
influence 1.-The boys" at home.
About 35 per cent of the Congress-
men rely on river and harbor legisla
ton to carry them through. Many
bills relating to proposed improve
ments are introduced which are not in
Guided in the big general measures,
but sometimes they do almost as much
good as if they were passed, so far as
their effect on the voters is concerned,
especially if the introducer is of the
minority party. Then he can assert
that the demons Of the other side pre-
vented favorable action on his prof.
ects, and thus kept justice from her
throne.
Not many years ago man who had
persistently brought the claims Of a
pet project before the river and har-
Dor committee broke down when he
sawt that his reiterated arguments were
having no effect.

bled committeeman, as he wiped the
tears from his eyes, "I'll be quite

$611,0OO,OOO

These figures do not include the work
on the Ambrose channel in the harbor,
which is a $4OO00OO job nor do they
take into account the engineering work
done on great buildings. There was
about $40,000,000 worth of building done
in New York last year for office and fac
tory buildings alone. 1t is safe to say
that from $10000,O00 to S15,0OO,00O of
that work required the services of expert
engineers. There is probably more work
of that kind going on this year than last.
So it may be said that besides the SELL
100000 already mentioned there is fully
S14,O0O,0CO more of engineering work
going on, making a grand total of 1925
100000 worth of construction in connec-
ton with transportation and building al
ready under way or provided for in and
around New York which may be describ-
ed properly as great engineering projects.
This sum of $625, 100000 may be term
ed a fact established, but there are other
vast projects still in the stage of con-
templatiOn-more tunnels and bridges
and buildings, some of which undoubted-
ly will be constructed in the not distant
future, which will amount to from $500,
100000 to $300OO0,000 more.
The above outline of large operations
in progress does not refer to the new
buildings which will be erected, except
the tunnel and railway terminals. Nam
moth hotels, apartment houses, stores,
theaters, etc, must be added to the list
if anything like a complete idea of the
construction work in New York is to be
obtained.
New York City's great project for Sc
curing a water supply from the Catskills
will cost about $162,OO0OO0. That pro-
ject means the construction of enormous
dams in half a dozen different valleys,
the wiping out of many settlements, the
construction Of a long system of tunnels
and pumping stations, including the tun-
mel under the Hudson river, the erection
of gates and the distribution of the water
in the city. 1t is the largest undertake
ing of the kind the world has ever known.
This water supply for New York is a
far greater enterprise than the Panama
canal in the engineering problems and
even in the money outlay. There are
also private engineering problems going
on in New York which reach into the
millions. Many of these have to do with
the construction of great buildings.

reason given for not having a split
log drag ready for use on the streets
after the recent heavy rains was that
the man in charge had not been able
to get log. Doubtless If he had got

time to split IT, AS a matter of fact
a drag can be made from timbers,
from railroad ties, from pieces of rails.
