TAUGHT BY THE SWALLOWS.
How . Railway Tunnel Was Built
THROUGH a Sand Bank.

A colony of bank swallows taught n
young but observing engineer how to
build a tunnel that his more learned
superiors had refused to undertake.
North OF Burlington. VT, lies n
broad sand plain high above the level
of Lake Champlain. through which the
Central railroad was to be carried by
a tunnel. The sand. destitute of moist
ure, would not cohere. but crumbled
away as soon as an excavation was
made. After several costly trials the
engineers decided that the tunnel was
impracticable.
A young man in the engineers office
said he could tunnel the sand bank at
a small cost. He said he could build
the tunnel for so many dollars run
ming foot. but that he couldn't expect
the railway people to act upon his
opinion when so many American and
European engineers had declared the
project impracticable.
The managers. however. gave him a
contract to build fifty feet of the tun-
mel On the face of the sand bank he
marked the lire of an arch larger than
the proposed tunnel and on this line
drove sharpened timbers into the bank.
Then he removed six feet of the sand
and drove In another arch of twelve
foot timbers. removing six feet more
of sand. This process he repeated I'M
til he had space enough to begin the
masonry AS fast as the masonry was
completed the space above 1t was
filed, leaving the timbers in place.
He pierced the bank with the cheap
est tunnel ever built. which now
stands as firm rs on the day 1t was
finished. y
He was asked whether there was
any suggestion Of the structure adopt
ed by him to be found in the books on
engineering.
mo" he said. at came to me In this
way: was driving by the place
where the attempts were made and
saw that colony Of swallows had
made their homes in the bank. 1t &C.
Cured to me that these little engineers
had disproved the assertion that the
sand had no cohesion. AS every swal-
lows home is a self sustaining tunnel
without masonry. l thought that by
extending their method I could con-
struct q larger tunnel. The bank swal-
low is the inventor: l am simply his

SWIFT FLYING STARS.
Vastness Of the Universe Indicated by
Their lona Travels.

The almost Incredible distances Of
the heavenly bodies are well illustrated
by Camille Flammarion's comments
to the Societe Astrononique de France
on the study by v. NJ. Slipher Of the
Lowell observatory on the speed of the
nebula in Andromeda. which is 800 XII
lometers second. Flammarioh re-
marks that If this speed has been
maintained since the days of Hippar-
chus. twenty centuries ago. the nebuia
has Travelled in that time 1o.OO0.OOO.-
900 kilometers. Hipparchus made a
catalogue of the visible stars. and this
nebula Is not found i'm his list. although
it can now he seen with the naked eye.
Had it been as brilliant 1000 years
ago as it is today, Hipparchus. living
under the clear sky Of Alexandria.
could not well have overlooked il.
"Must we then conclude" asks Flam-
marion. "that its twenty centuries or
approach to us have been enough to
increase its brilliancy? The parallax
of the nebua is OF second. which
corresponds to a distance OF lS1.OOO.-
600, 900. 900 kilometers. 1t takes light
nineteen years to travel that distance.
So in 1000 years its distance would
have diminished by about one-tenth."
But then. no one knows that 1t has
maintained this terrific speed through
out the centuries. 1t may have moved
more slowly or more rapidly at any
time. All is conjecture except the
actual figures for its present speed and
distance.
The fact that bodies moving at such
speeds are not seen to move brings
home to us the vastness Of the uni

Of medical treatment. Says a writer In
the Revenue scientifique-(Par!s):
Bcsi'cs the kind of laziness that
may be classified as physiologic
which is due to fatigue and which is
instructive. There is a laziness clearly
that of disease, the result Of distur-
Dances of tie physical organism or of
functional troubles of various kinds.
"Certan subjects are lazy because
they are suffering from symptomatic
asthenia, from infection or intoxlca-
ton, from tuberculosis or diabetes,
from failure Of the viscera or glands
to function properly. To this last
namtll C ass belong notably the So
called Addison's disease and indo,ence
of thyroid or myxodematous origin.
so we'll known to the clinicians.
"ln many other individuals laziness
is the result of retardation, greater
or less, of the psychomotor functions.
This second variety Of laiholCgic lazi'
ness is met in nervous and mental at
fections; it may be temporary,
as with certain epilepti s.who show
alterations of periods Of excit ment
accompanied by mental stability,
with periods OF melancholic oppression
This laziness is almost habitual in
certain cases of Cerebral tumor, and
in 10 neurotic abnormal, unbalanced.
unstable and hypochrondriac; or fol-
lowing injury to the skull.
&c. Harry has never shown that
among these who have been injured
in the course of their employment
there exists by the side of failure OF
strength, due to the wounds, a spec
ial menta' state resulting from auto
suggestion. This state, which aggra-
Yates the indolont condition, is known
under the name of sinistrcse.
Among mental disease properly so
called, the phychoses of me.anchonic or
asthenicfrom, states of mental weak
ness OF paralytic or alcoholic origin,
furnish the explanation of the inertia,
apathy and Indifference observed in
certain subjects ordinarily called lazy.
1.-THE notion OF pathologic laziness
is extremely important, particularly
for those who have charge of groups
of persons; it is thus that to officers
of the law it may explain the NOR
bid origin OF certain infractions OF
discr'n De and to educators it may
show how necessary il is to consider
large number of lazy children as
simply diseased. "-(Translation made
