AN ENIGMA FOR POSTERITY.
Tho Secret Dynamite Chamber Of the
Catskill Aqueduet.

The Catskill aqueduct system Is re-
markable as an engineering feat. One
Of the most curious expedients that
the engineers contrived was the cham
Der for storing dynamite. They had
to have a large supply Of explosive at
hand, yet the law sternly prohibited
any such accumulation within the city
limits Of New York, where it might
endanger life or property.
Finally In the dip between the One
Hundred and Tenth street and the
One Hundred and Twenty street
shafts, 40 feet below the surface, n
chamber was blasted out of the solid
rock. You entered this chamber from
the tunnel by a door that was always
left swinging half open and then fol
lowed ZigZag passage that turned
more than once at right angles. From
that passage you stepped into a huge
vaulted cavern.
a single electric bulb was suspend
ed over the threshold a capacious
iron bound chest, not unlike sar-
cOphagus, contained the dynamite.
There was nothing else in the silent
and gloomy chamber If the dyna-
mite had at any time exploded the
immense volume of released gas would
have rushed first against the unyield-
ing walls OF rock and then, seeking
an outlet 1t would have broken with
diminishing force against those of the
zigZag passage.
So carefully had the engineers calcu-
lated the force of the explosion that
they believed that what remained of
it on reaching the tunnel entrance
would automatically close the half open
door. No explosion took place to test
the theory. and experimental proof
would have cost the city $1,000 worth
Of dynamite.
The passage from the tunnel has
been closed with solid concrete, but
the huge cavern is still there, hidden
deep I'm the rock on which the great
city is built. Slowly, very slowly, Ii
will fill up with q silent, motionless
4 pool Of water, never to reflect the
faintest CLEAN OF light In time, no
doubt, the existence of the cavern will
be forgotten. A thousand or two
years hence It may be rediscovered
Clearly 1t will be seen to be the work
OF man, but as to its purpose scientific
brains may puzzle themselves fruit
lessly, for that will have become a
secret held inviolste by the unspeak-
ing rock.-Youth's Companion.
Her Lesson.
COMMUNICATION didn't say Thank
you when he gave you his seat in the
car. Mrs. Communicable, didn't. I

PRICE OF TOBACCO
MAY Be LOWER
RESTRICTION OF ITS lMPORTA-
TON BY ENGLAND WILL
PROBABLY BE FELT.
GET OPINION OF EXPERT
Federal Department Has Promised
Major Graham Some Additional
Information in Near Future.

Ralefgh-It begins to look now as
if the order issued by the British
Government February 16 is going to
affect seriously the tobacco farmers
OF North Carolina. The order re-
stricts the importation OF a number
OF products, classed as luxuries, and
tobacco is included. The Britishers
have not stated just how big a cut
will be made in the importation of to-
bacco, but in the case of paper and
materials for the manufacture of pa
per- it has been officially stated that
licenses are to be issued for the i'm
portation of a quantity amounting to
tW O-thirdS of the nOrNal imports and
it is reported on good authority that
the same rule will hold as to tobacco
and other products.
That this will affect North Carolina
tobacco farmers is readily seen when
one considers that the greatest to-
bacco customer of the United States
is Great Britain. During the calen-
dar year Of 1914 the amount of un-
manufactured tobacco imported into
Great Britain from the United States
was 1873, 1886, 2f3 pounds. valued at s.
4S4336 pounds sterling. or more than
$2O000,00O. The British do not pur-
chase any large quantities of manu-
featured tobacco from the United
States, the tote cigarette imports for
1914, for instance. being valued at
just little more than $4,000. They
take an immense quantity of f1ue
cured tobacco, such as is grown in
North Carolina. and a decrease Of
one-third in exports will pull down
prices sharply. There has been a
decided tendency toward Over-prO
duction in f1ue-cured tobacco In the
last two years and the United States
Department of Commerce and Labor
is of the opinion that our domestic
manufacturers are fully stocked.
1t is possible that the cut may be
bigger than above stated. The De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
sees only one ray of hope and that
is that the restriction of imports will |
not seriously affect the consumption |
Of tobacco in England and that the |
effect will be to deplete British stocks, |
thus creating a demand for new sup
plies from this cOuatry. The British |
importers may prepare for this de-
mand by making purchases in this
cOur Try for future delivery. the
United States Department Of State IS
understood to be conducting negotia
lions with the British Government
with view to obtaining some modi
facation of the provisions of the or
der in council.
Maj. W. A Graham. Commissioner
of Agriculture, is promised additional
in regard to the tobacco
situation as soon as 1t is Obtainable
