CHOICE MISCELLANY
TuCsOn the Oldest Town.

DR.. Alexander Craig of Tucson.
Ariz., alleges that that city is older
than st. Augustine, Fla, by thirteen
years. He says:
"There can be no doubt that Tucson
enjoys the distinction of being the old
est city in the United States. When
that intrepid Spanard. Melendez, dis
covered the coast of Florida, planted
the standard of his country and found
ed the city of st. Augustine in the year
Of our Lord 1865 Tucson was strug-
Cling and growing pueblo and had
been for thirteen years. This Is not
according to our text books on geog
raphy. but 1t is just as much fact for
all that, and the proof of 1t may be
found in a stained and time worn doc
ument of vellum, signed by their Cath
Ole majesties Ferdinand and Isabella
and countersigned by the viceroy Of
Mexico and General Coronado, who in
the early part Of 1862 raised the flag
Of Spain over the little Indian village
Of Tucson and laid the cornerstone Of
the first mission with his own hands.
This important paper was lost to the
public until about twelve years ago,
when it was discovered by a mere acct
dent among the archives Of the an
cient Church Of ST. Xavier, nine miles
south of Tucson. AS a matter Of pre-
caution 1t was forwarded to the libra
ry of Washington, where 1t now lies.
This discovery gives the residents Of
Tucson the right to claim that their
city Is the oldest in the United States"

Shooting Il Rabbit.

bit In snare and still kicking. He
released it and was about to dispatch
it with the back of his hand when it
occurred to him that he could not say
he shot it, as no shot marks would be
found to corroborate his story. So he
tied string to one of the hind legs of
the rabbit, tied the other end to the
fence, backed away twenty yards and

bunny ran away. Such a good joke
on himself was too good to keep, and

Coal Mining Under the Sea.

Up in Cape Breton island, where
there are great number Of collieries
digging out coal from under the sea,
the submarine area thus undermined
now amounts to about sixteen ordinary
farms of 100 acres each. The outer
end Of the hole is something over q
mile from shore. Strange as It may
seem, the workings have never been
invaded by sea water streams, al
though fresh water streams have been
encountered flowing out in the strata
under the ocean bed. The thickness
Of the strata over the mines varies
from 500 to 1,140 feet. About $780,
900 tons Of coal have thus far been
taken from these submarine workings,
and there is as yet no indication of
failure of the beds.-New York Times.
