BOXING GAME is SAFE FROM IN
TERFERENCE At TERRE HAUTE.

Terre Haute, Ind, July 28.--This city
may be immune from interference with
boxing bouts if the recent investiga-
ton by the governor counts for any,
thing. This has led Mike Schrock to
announce that he intended to wipe out
the old decision held against him by
Tony Ross. The referee says the YER
dict in the recent bout between Schreck
and Hart was not based on the alleged
foul which occurred, but on the fact
that Harris seconds threw the sponge
into the ring.

An article in English Homes saws

George Shillibeer, after being success
fully midshipman in the British navy
and coachbuilder in Paris, placed on
the London streets the first two omni-

A large crowd assembled to witness
the start and general admiration was
expressed at the smart appearance Of
the vehicles, which were built to carry

drawn by three beautiful bays. har-

was painted in large letters on both

They appear to have had an enjoyable

spent a considerable amount of time

TUNNEL UNDER ANDES
TO COMPLETE RAILWAY
Boring Near Completion 10000
Feet Above Sea

One of the most interesting engineer
ing feats, and which is now rapidly
approaching completion, is the boring
of a tunnel through the summit of
the Andes mountains, in South Amer
ica, to complete the continuous rail-
way journey from Buenos Aires to
Valparaiso.
The present railroad from Valparaiso
rises TO Caracoles. near the Chilean
entrance to the tunnel From Buenos
Aires one can ride by train to Las
Cuevas, which is about 10000 feet
above the sea level. almost the same
altitude of Caracoles. The tunnel will
connect these two towns. At present
passengers are transferred from one
town to the other by wagon and horse
back over the mountain trail.
The tunnel will be 1O,35S feet in
length and it was begun on both sides
of the mountain, and each gang has
worked about half of the length.
The tunnel, which will be travel
link between the southern Pacific and
southern Atlantic, will also serve as a
means of travel and commerce between
a city of 100000 inhabitants and the
thickly populated Chilean coast
The work is being done by English
contractors, who recruited their work
ingmen from the Cornish mines Owing
to the high altitude, elaborate prep
arations are being made to keep the
entrances clear Of snow in the winter.

RUSTIC METEOROLOGY
FOUNDED UPON FACT
Quaint Deductions From the
Weather Often Found Correct

Men of science say that in some cases

stories are practically correct-for in

lightning flash to the sound Of thunder
locates I'm miles the seat of the disturb
ance. The approach of rain is signaled,
so say the observant country folk, in
many ways, and these are enumerated
in a French journal. The swifts and
the swallows skim close TO the ground.
The cat washes his face, and the chat
finch has a sad and plaintive note. The
farmyard goose runs about and shows
general restlessness. The peacock ut
ters frequent cries. The woodpecker
means or sighs. The parrot chatters
the guinea fowl perches. the frog re-
mains silent. The toad walks about.
Flowers have strong odor and many
among them close up. There are also
other signs none the less sure, SO say
the same people. for prognosticating
fine weather. The birds twltter the
redthroat sings on the top of the high
est trees. the swallow flies into the
clouds, the lark rises from the ground
and mounts into the air singing, the
cricket makes his cry heard. the tree
frog climbs the trees and the flowers
open. Finally there are a few varied
observations which will complete these
signs which are as useful as many 9TH
ers, adds the contemporary cited. An
everlasting flower hung on a wall opens
