SAVED FROM Ruin
Undermining Of Winchester Cath.
edraI Stopped by Cement.
For Many Years the Historic Building
Has Been Cracking, Bulsing and
Settling, Threatening to Col
lapse Completely.

London.-After period Of eight
centuries, Winchester cathedral now
rests on solid and immovable foun-
dation, saved from threatened ruin.
Almost every day in the last few years
the movements of a diver in regula-
ton dress have been watched with Gu
rious interest as he entered or emerg-
ed from the water beneath the founda-
tions Of the cathedral. He was at
work helping to save from ruin one Of
Eng1and's noblest historic buildings,
and the successful issue Of the under
taking has been celebrated by a
thanksgiving service in the cathedral
For several years the dean and chap
ter Of Winchester had been watching
ominous signs, such as cracks, bulg-
ings and settlements, sure harbingers
of collapse Of the cathedral. From
the interior daylight could be seen
through the cracks; the latter grew
ever wider and wider. The walls on
the south side and the Norman tran
septs, unequaled for their majestic
simplicity, were riven in all directions.
The massive masonry of the Norman
builders had from the beginning
proved too ponderous for the watery,
compressible soil which forms the
foundation.
The first hole dug into the founda-
tons revealed the cause Of the whole
trouble-water-and acting on expert
advice, holes were dug in sections
through the top soil and chalk and far
through the peat Then it was the
work Of the diver in his usual diving
dress to enter the hole, remove further
layers Of peat SO as to allow the water
to rise into the cavity, and then to lay
q flooring Of cement to prevent the wa
ter from sinking back into the gravel.
After the imprisoned water had been
removed by pumping the cavity was
filed up with brickwork in cement.
This extended from the floor laid by

HAS MARRIED 1900 COUPLES
Tennessee Minister Builds Hotel Es-
pecially for Elopins
Couples.

Bristol, Tenn.-Rev. Alfred Harrison
Burroughs of Bristol, now in his
eightieth year, has married 1900
couples in the last twenty-three years.
81 had no thought OF making this a
business" said the aged minister. -
was licensed to marry people many
years ago, and when the first runaway
couple sought me in 1889, l consented
to marry them more as a matter of
accommodation than anything else.
Some of my friends were present
and witnessed the marriage. They
complimented me and told me that l
ought to make marrying a business.
After that I did not decline to offer
my services whenever a couple came
my way. Month by month the bust
ness grew until sometimes married
from three to six couples a day"
So rapidly did the minister's mar
rying business increase that he built
hotel designed especially to accom-
modate eloping couples.

Hunter of White Rhlnoceros Has
Dangerous Foe to Contend With

Singapore.-Of the three great is
lands of the Malay peninsula, as big
game resort, Sumatra Is said to be
the best, Borneo the worst. In Sunla-
ira all the great mammalian varieties
are to be found, the tiger, the ele-
phant, rhinoceros, tapir, orang-outang
and slamang. In Java, the elephant,
tapir and orang-outang are missing, but
the rhinoceros and tiger are repre-

In Borneo all these large animals
are unknown now, though DOUBTLESS
they existed there in former days,
Sumatra offers less inducements to
the general order Of visitors than the
other two mentioned above for sever

self, like the Irishman in the story,
"up to the ankles in mud" but, as
he forgot to mention, head down
wards" Added to this, he must be
prepared to view everything through
a perfect haze of m m2squitoes. Such is
the home Of the white rhinoceros, and
thither the hunter must venture who
wishes to get shot at him. This. 1t
may be remarked, IS by no means
synonymous with bagging his pachy-
dermatous majesty. Indeed, he oftener
than not turns the tables on his pur-
suer.
This monster is said to be the only
animal that will attack man unprovok..
ed, and considering that, unwieldy
though he looks, he can go as fast as
horse, the encounter is no joke. The
retreating hunters best course. is to
seek safety up a tree; though. unless
it is pretty stout one, this will not
better his position much. Even il 1t
is, he may be .'treed" there for a con:
siderable time. Unless European is
quite fever-proof and provided with
special firearms, this branch of sport
is better left untried.

THE JTORYof KING a GRATEFUL CROW

His career Of mischief began one day
when he saw the kitchen window open,
and tapped through it, right into the pan
in which Mrs. Martin was washing the
dishes, sending the soapy water splash
ing over her, the table and the floor, and
frightening himself badly. Such a fuss
as he made, screaming with terror as he
Topped from the pan TO the floor, and then
Tapping from one end of the room to the
other, shaking his dripping plumage.
In little more than a month King had
changed into splendid bird, with a well
shaped head and glossy black coat. No
one could call him ugly then. He learned
TO go everywhere with Harold. riding on
his. shoulder, or walking by his side like
a dog.
He slept on a tree in the back yard in
stead of in the woodshed, and was up
every morning before dawn. He learned
where Harold's room was and would hy
up to the sill and tap on the wire screen
and talk in low, cultural, gurgling crow
language until Harold woke up and raised
the screen and placed some cake or pot
cheese on the sill for his breakfast.
One night HaroId stood a small mirror

with pleasure and surprise, while Harold
whooped with joy at the prospect Of seeing
his cousins.
As he continued to feel in his pockets
Mr.. Martins face grew troubled. The coin
was not there. He searched his other
pockets, though he was sure he had car
ried the coin with the bills. The hunt
proved fruitless. Mr.. Martin had evil
IDENTIFY jerked the twenty dollars from his
pocket when he drew out his handkerchief
lon the long walk home.
Never mind" said Mrs Martin, bravely
trying to hide her disappointment, I'VE
may find the coin tomorrow"
The prospect was not a promising one,
as Mr.. Martin had cut across fields in the
dark and was not sure that he could re-
trace his exact course. Nevertheless he
and Harold started of early the next
morning and walked all the way TO Per
sons farm. searching the ground as closely
as was possible.

A is passed over and under rope B, theH
under and over rope A, which is pre-
lcisely the reverse of the operation in the
reef knot. The false reef is in great dis
favor with sailors for the reason that il
slips easily.
To fasten a rope securely to a pole,
"a feat often desired when drawing timber
to camp for FIRE or building purposes,
the knot known as the half hitch is found
very useful. This is made by passing
the end Of the rope around the timber or
pole, taking a turn around the standing
part of the rope, drawing the end through
beneath the first turn, then pulling it
taut. 1t will be found 10 be quite secure.
In putting up a tent, erecting shake
down or lean-to, when one wishes TO
fasten or secure ropes to upright poles
what is known as round turn and two
half bitches is made use of. In this
the rope is wound twice about the pole,
then over and underneath the horizontal
rope, drawing the end up through the
space between the pole and the loop, then
repeating the process. This is simple
knot to make and the two knots allow
for an extra strain being put upon the
rope in the act Of making it fast.
For many purposes the figure eight knot
will be found useful to the camper or the
scout off on hike. 1t is made by first
forming loop, then by passing the end
of the rope behind and around the stand
ing part and bringing it down through the
loop. With a knowledge Of these simple
