An UNDERGROUND Canal.

Between Worsley and st. Helens, In
tie north OF England, is the most re-
markable canal in the world. 1t is I'M
derground. from end to end, and Is
sixteen miles long. In Lancashire the
coal mines are very extensive, half the
country being undermined, and many
years ago the Duke Of Bridgewater's
managers thought they could save
money by transporting the coal under
ground instead Of on the surface. The
canal was constructed and the mines
connected and drained at the same
tine. Ordinary canal boats are used,
nut the power is furnished by men.
On the roof Of the tunnel archa are cross
%lieccJ. and the men do the work Of
propulsion by lying on their backs on
TIE coal and pushing with their feet
against the crossbars on the roof.-Ar-
gonaut.

Tower of London.

A royal palace. consisting of no more
than What is now known as the "White
Tower" appears to have been the be-
ginning of the Tower of London. 1t
was commenced In 1918 by William
the Conqueror and finished by Will
liam's son. William Rufus, who. in
1903, surrounded it with walls and a
broad ditch. Several succeeding kings
made additions to it, and King Edward
III: erected the church. In 1858 the
old White Tower was rebuilt, and in
the reign of Charles IL. a great number
of additions were made to it. The
new buildings in the Tower were com
pleted in 1850.

TWO BUSY BUREAUS
At INTERSTATE FAIR.
They Are the Men Who Know
II All" at Spokane.

The Spokane Fair is going to open
Sept. 80. Several thousand employees
are working on it now, and of all that
army,of help it is safe to say the hard
est worked Of all is the information
bureau man.
He says he answers q million ques-
lions a minute. At any rate, he does
swering them all Fair week. He can
tell you where the model creamery is
located, what the prizes are for the log
chopping and the rock drilling contests,
where the Farm Boys school is in
camp, why the Spaniards conquer
Mexico every night, where the post
office and express office are, which COW
won the milk test, the exact time of
the Derby, the names of the judges at
the big baby show, why the Washing
ton State college and the Idaho State
university exhibits almost fill "a whole
building, where the fremen's .tourna-
ment is being conducted, how to re-
serve a seat for Saturday, explain the
new harness race system, locate the
latest farm machinery exhibits, show
the way $1,000 is to be divided for
county and district display prizes and
direct q few tired mothers to the free
nursery, where the babies can be left
with a competent nurse to look after
them.
And downtown In the Chamber Of
Commence building, at Washington
and Riverside, another information
bureau is busy keeping an up to date
list of rooms and taking care of stran-
gers who might have trouble finding
a place to sleep. If you don't think
these two information men are good
and busy, call on them next week and
see them at work.

The Servian SWineherd.

In any Servian village there is only
one swineherd, and he leads all the
pigs of the community. In the morn
ing he goes through the streets blow
ing his horn, and the pigs come out Of
their own accord and fall in behind
him and follow him to the pasture. 1T
night he brings them home. and they
dispense to their sites in the same or
derby way as they pass the houses to
which they belong. They require no at
tention and no singing out.

Youthful Authors.

Although 1t was not published until
a year or two later, 1t is probable that
Keats wrote his famous "Ode TO Au-
tumn' in his sixteenth year, and, In
deed, all his five great odes, among the
greatest in any language, before he at
tanned legal manhood. He died at
twenty-five, so that all the great mas
terpieces which came from his pen
may be regarded assthe production Of
a boy. Robert Burns wrote that scath-
ing satire, "Holys Willie's Prayer"
when he had barely passed his youth,
and indeed, the whole Of the poems in
the famous Kilmarnock edition, & copy
of which sold some little time since
for 1850, we're written before he was
twenty-five! But even the precocity of
Burns was put in the shade by that Of
Chatterton, who committed suicide in
a fit Of despair In a London garnet
when he was seventeen. He wrote the
whole huge volume Of the Rowley
poems when he was a %schoolboy at
Bristol.

Miner dam. lie, with several compan-
ions, went to the falls on March, ., 1905.
They were intoxicated, and Wilson de-
clared his intentions of leaping from the
brink to the pool 235 feet below. In the
presence of large number OF persons he
walked upon Il rock and began PREPARE
tons for the jump. His friends and
Others present, realizing the danger,
that he was risking his life in the leap,
tried to dissuade him from the reckless
act. He was stubborn and refused to
listen to their advice. They were afraid
to go near him because Of the danger of
falling from the rock into the deem
chasm. They tried to coax him but to
no purpose.

Wilson had lately been employed at
