One of the greatest triumphs in the
history of engineering is the compile
tion Of the tunnel, or series of tunnels,
through the Andes, which allows direct
travel across South America from
Buenos Aires to Valparaiso. Hitherto,
winter travellers went by way of the
Strait of Magellan, a rough sea voy-
age. The tunnel has been in process
Of construction for. many years, and
twice the work ha2 been abandoned
In despair. A New York syndicate
solved the problem at last, and 1t is
announced that trains will be running
early in the coming summer. There
are three tunnels, with an aggregate
length of eleven miles. The highest
station on the line is about 10000 feet
above sea level. The third of the tun.
nels is described as screw-shaped, and
drops 2,700 feet in a distance of
$4,000 feet. The total cost of the work
Is about twelve million dollars.

GREATEST WOMAN SCIENTIST.

Mme. Curie Shares with Most sa-

Has Pins Worth $4,000.

last hfteen years have any of his Gus

scarf pin. He also has a collection Of
300 scarfs.
Gathering scarf pins is a hobby with
Mr. Brinckle. Although unusual and
costly, 1t has proved to be intensely
interesting. A large number of the

From the earliest days a large part
OF mans food supply has been drawn
from the depths of the ocean. The
Scriptures abound in references to the
use of fish as food, from the opening
chapter of Genesis, where man is
granted dominion over the fish of the
sea, to the books of the New Testa
ment, where the Saviour feeds the mul.
titude on the fishes, and breaches to
the fishermen, who drop their nets to
follow Him. Fishing has always been
a leading industry. The latest fig
ures give the annual value of the
worlds fisheries at about four hundred
million dollars almost as much as the
annual output of all the goi5 mines.
The United States leads, with sixty
three millions, Great Britain comes
next. with about fifty-five millions, and
Japan third, with about forty millions.
In this country seven thousand vessels
and two hundred and twenty thousand
men are employed in fishing, and their
contribution to the value of our food
supply Is nearly as much as that of
all the orchards in the land. Not
many years ago the consumption Of
ocean fish was limited to those living
on narrow strip along the coast
Now, as result of fast transportation
and the perfection of refrigeration
every section of the interior is prompt
ly supplied with fish from each of the
great oceans. This has meant stead.
ily widening market for fish, greater
demand and higher price. The sys-
tenn of cold storage-the retention of
temporary oversupplies-ha had a
tendency in the same direction. Never.
theless, fish remains a relatively
cheap article of food, as well as one
OF the most nutritious. There is little
danger that the people as a whole will
eat too much fish. Although the SUD-
ply seems inexhaustible, the govern
ment is wisely doing what can be done
In the way Of propagation and con.
servation.

In these days of educational fads
and reforms the teaching of spelling
has less prominent place in the
schools than it deserves to occupy.
Now the State of North Dakota,
through its department of education,
Is arranging for series of spelling
matches in the district schools all over
the state. Prizes are offered, and
there are to be matches between diff
ferent schools to stimulate the inter-
est. The series will close with a final
state championship contest.

Will Erect Concrete Warehouse
And Wharf At Port Deposit.

The Colchester Steamboat Company is
building warehouse and wharf at Port
Deposit to take the place of the one car
ried away by the ice last winter. 1t will
be of reinforced concrete "a feet high, and
will cost $4,000.
More than 200 carloads of cement and
crushed stone will be in the construction
of the improvements. Running through
the concrete will be more than 4,2oo feet
of iron rods. When completed the struc-
ture will be semi-circular in shape.
The design was decided on by the own
ers as the only one practical for that loca-
ton, as it is claimed that in the event of
another food the water and ice wilk glide
over the roof of the building and on their
way down the stream, leaving the, struc-
ture intact. The work is, being done by
Thomas Strouse, of Baltimore, and plans
were prepared by Alfred Goodman
Leach, architect.

Installing Turbines At Power
Plant.

The work of installing five immense
turbines at the Mccall Ferry power plant
has begun. There is space for ten tur-
bines at the plant, but only fveare to be
installed at the present time.
The temporary frame work for closing
the openings between the concrete sections
of the dam is being constructed. This
framework is for the purpose of cutting
off the flow of water through the openings
until they are permanently closed with
concrete. Only a few feet of concrete
mixture will be put in each of the open
ings until each one is raised or filed to
that height, then adding to each in turn
again and again until the proper height is
reached.
BY completing each of these openings
before partly filling the others in manner
mentioned would make it very difficult to
accomplish, because of the force of the
water, hence the plan of gradually closing
each.

In the chancel of sthe church potted
plants and profusion of flowers were
artistically arranged, which with the
bright faces of the little ones as they
arranged themselves on the platform for
their various parts lent added charm to
the exercises. Despite the very threaten

with an appreciative audience.
The collection taken, which is devoted
to educational purposes, amounted to
