been learned what the name of the new

The operations OF Yankee ENGINEERS
are source of constant wonder ami
bewilderment to all foreigners. The
daring way in which the Americans
blow up mountains that come IN their
way or string bridges over seemingly
impassable caayons almost takes the.r
breath away.
On one job in South America con-
tractor used about $4,000 worth OF
powder in blasting. He employed 5000
men and completed piece Of work IN
less than thee months that local au-
thorities said could not be done inside
Of ten years.
He put 1900 kegs Of powder IN one
blast, and when the shot went of i
sent over 700 train loads Of rock down
a cliff into the river. There was such
a mass Of debris that it raised the wa
ter Of the stream tifty-five feet in less
than twenty minutes. The channel
had to be blasted out to let the water
through. The force Of this immense
charge was so great that 1t sent huge
powders the size Of box cars sailing
over the hill like flock Of buzzards
flying over barn Toledo Blade.

k British Brig Whose Chest Still saiIa

So famous has become the Flying

many others equally good There is,
for instance. the tale still told in the
atolls Of the south seas concerning the
brig Bounty. Of mutiny fame, which,
for dramatic intenseness. far ont
weighs it
As a tale Of adventure few, If any,
stories OF real life can exceed in tragic
detail the story of the mutiny Of the
British brig Of war Bounty. Her men,
disheartened and oppressed BY tyran-
nical captain. set upon their. officers
and, numbering some, set the rect
afioat in open boats, Then the mutt
neers sailed to a deserted island, tlrst
taking unto themselves wives Of the
daughters Of the islanders. and their
descendants still live on rocky island
In the south Pacific. For yearg after
the mutiny the whereabouts Of the
ship and her crew was unknown, and
she was supposed to have foundered
at sea. Naturally stories, weaving
themselves from the phantasmagoria
Of the sea, were told concerning her
at the wharves where seamen congre-
gated and finally crystallized into one
grewsome yarn which might have
served Coleridge as the framework for
his "Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Doc Seeks Aid For Horse.

Frisk. beautiful coach dog and
Jack. a fine bay two year-old of trot-
ting stock, were raised together on our
farm and became fast friends, sleeping
in the same stall and, In fact, were al
most inseparable. Jack had been over
fed on new oats, resulting In severe
attack Of collie, which often proves fa-
tai to horses in short time. About
midnight Frisk awakened us by
scratching at the door and barking as

door to ascertain the cause Of the up

thoroughly aroused, i followed and

A gentleman was attending a lee
ture one evening when he saw, two
seats ahead OF him, a man whom he
took to be an acquaintance. Having
no other way TO attract his attention.
he asked a stranger sitting next to
him to poke the supposed acquaintance
with his umbrella. As the disturbed
man turned his head the gentleman
discovered that he was not the person
he had supposed. SO he fastened his
gaze httentlrely on the lecturer, leav-
ing the man with the umbrella to set
tie with the man he had disturbed, an
embarrassing and difficult task At
last the man with the umbrella turned
rather Indignantly to the gentleman.

gentleman with npy umbrellal"

Switzerland has always prided itself
on its Independence. and In fiscal mat
ters this proud spirit, which will brook
no interference with the rights Of the
individual, even by the state In quest
OF revenue, has sometimes been ex-
hibited in curious Gays, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. As the inquIsItorial
methods of income tax collectors are
abhorrent to the freedom loving Swiss,
boxes were once or twice set up in
several cant0ns to receive the volun-
tary contributions Of loyal citizens. It
was hoped that this method of relying
on the public spirit of the people
would prove successful in raising
money for public ends; but, alas for
human nature, in the course of few
years the collectors on opening the
boxes found nothing but-trouser but
tons. SO the voluntary system. after
fair trial, had to be reluctantly aban-
doned In favor OF a declaration Of
capital and income which Is liable to
official investigation.

Almost every one knows that if a
hens egg is kept under suitable condi
tons for about three weeks a fully
formed and developed chick will
emerge from the shell, but when a
fresh egg is opened no sign of an or
ganism is present However at one
side OF the yolk is a minute cell which
contains the vital principle Of the FIJI
ture fowl, and, strange as 1t may seem.
this cell begins to eat the contents OF
the eggshell and transforms them into
tissues Of the chick This process may
be watched by holding the egg to the
light. when the developing of the
chick may be followed from hour to
hour. When the chick comes out OF
the shell It is not dependent on Its
parents body for food, but is capable
Of picking up worms and seeds and
digesting them. It will be noticed thai
the hen supplies enough material ii
an egg to produce a fully formed
progeny, and the chick Is not started
out in life with imperfectly formed or
gans.-Dr. Henry DwigEt Chaplin il

They even had a description Of the

their reasons for this demand. with a

Once there lived In one of the foreign
quarters Of New York a learned ornl-
thologist. He knew more about birds
than most men know about anything.
He stuffed and mounted them too. Not
lnfrequently his researches took him
abroad. In fact. he was a regular
voyager to Europe, spending the great
er part OF his sojourn invariably in
France, whence he returned with many
quaint and curious birds. stuffed,
mounted, ready for exhibition. This
savant and his birds became so fa-
miliar to the customs inspectors that
they finally examined his baggage and
his stock in the most perfunctory way,
Once when in Paris the ornithologist
picked up wonderful talking parrot
which he purchased at the owners

Of talking. and the bird was speedily

parrot. "Poll. pretty Poll, when you are
dead shall stuff you full of nice

In good season the ornithologIst. witt

parrot, set sail for New York on one

as an old acquaintance, and one O
them fumbed careIessly among thu
various trunks and boxes, until even

was brought to light
"Ah, parrotr' said the inspector

LIVING MODELS
HELPED DISPLAY

An innovation was introduced into
the trade of the modiste in Baltimore
yesterday when at the opening OF
Haughton & Haughton some of the
newest and smartest frocks were ex-
hibited on living models while sweet
voiced saleswomen helped everyone
in their ecstascy by explaining each
gown, says the Baltimore Sun.
The living models, brought for the
occasion from New York, were quite
as pretty as the gowns, and the com
bination of the two made stunning
effects. When the young lady models
gloved their figures in the evening
frocks the light of day was shut out
of the room and electric lights direct
ed upon them so that the proper
evening effect might be seen.
With others of the costumes the
models adorned themselves in hats
and gloves to match the dresses. This
had a magical effect upon the ladies
present and many signs and plans
for the depletion of pocketbooks were
heard.
In the rooms where the opening
was held large portion of the
smart set" now in town was crowd
ed Entrance was by card, and only
the elite had been invited. After
an hour of continuous performance
of living, moving and begowned pic
lures the affair took on the appear
ance of a real social gathering. The
living pictures" seemed to have
fairly pnnd time Themselves.
