FIRST ROCK TUNNEL.
Made Centuries Before Drills a-1
Blasting Powder Were Known.

Blasting Powder Were Known.
The first rock tunnel Of which
there is any authentic record was
achieved over 1900 years ago on
the outskirts of Jerusalem, when
the way was opened for the admis-
sion of water of the spring of Gihon
to the pool of Sloan.
Gihon, now known as Mary's
spring, is in the valley of Kedron
and was the only natural spring in
the vicinity of the city of David.
1t was separated from the city by
the Ophel ridge, a mass Of rock, so
that when enemies appeared before
the wall they could cut of this sup
ply and compel the people within
to depend upon stored water. King
Hezekiah about 100 B. c. devoted
himself to remedying this by con
structing a tunnel, which is referred
to in IL Kings, Xxx, 20, to bring the
waters within the walls.
At that time not only was tunnel
ing through rocks an untried work
and one that must be done without
such aids in the way of drills and
blasting power as even the most
amateur workman would use now
adavs. but there was no mariners
compass or other means for follow
ing given direction underground.
The distance from the spring to the
pool of Sloan is about 900 feet in
straight line, and the hill over
head is about $50 feet higher than
the spring.
To perpetuate this Hezekiah's
vorkmen had tools of bronze, of a
description now unknown. They
began digging from both ends at
the same time and tried to keep
their bearings in straight line by
sighting from outside They did
not maintain a uniform bore, but
kept the slope of the bottom with
great accuracy. The shaft is from
two to three feet wide and from ten
feet high at one end diminishes to
foot and a half in the middle.
Sighting from the outside did not
prove a very satisfactory method
Many places are to be seen in the
tunnel today where headings were
abandoned and start made in a
new direction. Even then the tun-
mel rambles about and was more
than 100 feet long before the two
ends came together. The opposing
diggers were able to find each other
at last by listening for sounds of the
others picks and working toward
the place whence they seemed to
come. THIS was learned from an
inscription on the wall of the tun-
mel which was discovered in 1880
by some boys at play.
For city situated as Jerusalem
was no gift could have been more
welcome than that of an assured
water supply. One can imagine
therefore that the ceremonies at
tendant upon the completion of the
work were on as magnificent scale
as could then be devised.-Chica-

The Marquis Ito was always
eager TO acquire information about
! western civilization During his
four terms as prime minister of
japan ms country residence at Oiso,
near Tokyo, was at all times open
to the foreigner, and his ready com
mand Of six languages gave him
many opportunities of pumping his
"barbarian' visitors.
Two American marines on shore
leave several years ago were doing
Tokyo, and the course of a walking
trip took them into the suburbs.
Stopping to rest under a tree. they
lighted their pipes and were survey
ing the passing coolies and rick
shaws with lazy interest when an
open carriage, with outriders and
other evidences Of japanese opu-
lence. came along the road. Seeing
jolly looking, bewhiskered Japa-
nese sitting alone in the vehicle,
they saluted in military fashion and
smiled back at him. Suddenly the
carriage stopped, and the occupant
beckoned the marines to approach.
"If you're travelling my way there
is room in my carriage for three"
said the bewhiskered japanese in
English.
The Americans shook the ashes
from their pipes, stiffened into dig
nifty and marched into the seat of
fered them with all the aplomb of
experienced globe trotters. Then
followed a catechizing such as they
never underwent before. In the
language of one of them:
"The old guy asked us all we
knew about civilization down to who
killed Billy Patterson, and he pump
ed us as dry as a battleship three
months in drydock. He was a wise
nut all right and a good judge of
cigar. He was especially interested
in the service, and his questions
upon the treatment of men and
chances for promotion in the Unit
ed States marine corps showed
knowledge of foreign military and
naval affairs"
"Now," he remarked as the car
riage turned into a private drive
way, "this is where / live, and as /
have an engagement on hand | will
have to part company. You can
have my carriage for the ride to
Tokyo. I've had an instructive half
hour with you, and | appreciate your
forbearance in submitting to so long
cross examination. Goodby, and
good luck to you both"
With these words the japanese
handed two cards to the marines,
shook hands, got out of the vehicle
and disappeared behind a party of
bowling servitors, while the carriage
started for Tokyo.
"But he was a big gun, all right,
all right" observed one of the ma
rines refectively, leaning back
among the cushions and taking the
card out.
And he was. In English script
upon the card were two lines of
print, which read: marquis Hiro-
bumi Ito, G. c. B., Prime Minister
of Japan"

CONTINUED FROM IfSL rage
Attorney General Hudson has handed
down an opinion, giving his interpre-
tatlon of the law recently enacted by
the Mississippi legislature, giving Ar.
kansas concurrent jurisdiction over the
Mississippi river to the east bank. Ar
kansas has already enacted law Civ
ing Mississippi concurrent jurisdiction
over the river to the west bank. and
under General Hudson s opinion, Mis-
sIsslppl can arrest and punish for vio-
Iations Of her laws committed in the
river whether on the Mississippi or
Arkansas side of the needle of the
stream.
The opinion was handed down at the
request Of County Attorney Toombs of
Washington county, and means the sup
preston Of crime on the river. This is
aimed especially at the boats selling
liquor on the river in violation of the
Mississippi law. Authority was given
the two states to enact such legislation
by an act Of congress introduced by
Representative B. G. Humphreys.
When Louisiana enacts a similar law
if that state does, then Mississippi can
force her prohibition on the river at all
points. The saloons on DeSoto island
near Vicksburg will have to 90, as
they will come within the provisions of
the law. The opinion which was pre-
pared by Assistant Attorney General
Fox follows:
Jackson, Miss, May IA, 1910.
Hon. VIM. Ray Toombs, County Prose
cutting Attorney, GreenvilIe, Miss.
Dear Sir: [ have your request for
an opinion as to the construction and
application of the law known as SEN
ate bill No 263, approved April 10Th,
1910, extending the criminal jurisdic-
tion of the state of Mississippi to the
west bank of the Mississippi river,
and giving the state of Arkansas con-
current jurisdiction to the east bank Of
the river; upon the following statement
of facts:
Certain persons are engaged in oper
ating steamboats, on the Mississippi riv-
er at Greenville, in Washington county.
They take on board the boat a boatload
of passengers, run the boat across the
thread of the stream of the Mississippi
river to the Arkansas side, and, when
we'll within Arkansas territory, sell
whiskey, beer and other Intoxicating
drinks to the passengers; ana when the
passengers drink a suffciency, the boat
returns and discharges them, taking
aboard a new and thirsty crowd. The
question is whether or not these persons
who sell whisRey, beer and other intox-
icating drinks on a boat on the Mis-
sissippi river between the thread of
the stream and the west bank of the
river. and therefore in Arkansas terri
tory, can be arrested and punished for
a violation of the laws of the state Of
Mississippi forbidding the sale of such
drinks
