TUD0Rs' WORK GOOD
Tunnels Built Centuries Ago Are
 Still in Existence.
Newly Discovered Underground Work ings Built by Order of Cardinal Wolsey Are Found to Be in
 Perfect Condition.

That the Tudors were the best plumbers in the world is attested by the fact that tunnel built four cen turies ago by Cardinal Wolsey and through which water was conveyed from a spring by means of lead pipes Is still in existence. It is not only in existence, but is Tn practically as good condition as when it was first con- structed. What good building this means may be understood when 1t is noted that directly over the tunnel huge trees are growing-one of them with at least five tons of timber in it but neither their roots nor their weight have made any impression at all upon it's walls.
 Not so eternal have been the means whereby Wolsey had the water con veyed from Kingston hill to Hampton court After it had made it's way through a succession of wells and res ervoirs, which still retain the old lead and stone, the water was taken down the hill in broad lead pipes and SO on to Hampton. But, alas! it could not be protected from rapacious hands after 1t had served the great cardin- al's purpose for lead has a value fo. other and more harmful things than the conveyance of spring water. So as soon as Hampton court ceased to depend for it's drinking water upon the cardinals spring people began to lay sacrilegious hands on the pipes. A considerable amount of the lead was, it is believed, melted down for am munition during the civil war. The rest has been pilfered from time 10 time for various purposes. and some of it is said even now to be lying at the bottom of the Thames
 Both the old buildings and the spring itself are still almost as they

 At about ten o'clock on the evening of April 10. ITS, the continental con- gress took into consideration the draft Of letter in answer to General Wash ingtons letter of the 4th. and some progress being made thereon, mo tion was made to adjourn. 1t being ten o'clock"

 Congress sent a messager to find the absent members and to request them to return 10 attend congress. When the messenger came back he reported that Mr Langworthy had said that he would return presently. but that MT Burke had replied that the devil might take him if he would come. 1t was too late and tco unreasonable.
 The upshot Of the whole business was the adoption of the following reso- lution:
 Resolved. That the manner in which MT. Burke withdrew on the evening of the said 10th Instant was disorderly and contemptuous; and that the answer then returned by him was indecent. That the principle upon which he has attempted to justify his withdrawing from the house Is dan geroas, because 1t strikes at the very existence of the house. and. as in the present case actually happened. would enable a single member to put an in- stant stop to the most important pro ceedings of congress-"

this hall that Churcbill's s father, Lord
