KNEW ALL ABOUT TUNNELINe
AneIeDts Built Some important Works,
Many Of Them eelng MarveIously
concsiVod and Executed.

While tunneIlng Is among the most
ancient Of enterprises, yet more prog.
ress has been made in II the last cen.
tury than IN the twenty centuries
which preceded IT, II is now known
that back in the semimythical days Of
the Theban kings the long tunnel into
the mountain rock, expanding at a dis
tance Of 400 feet or so into some lofty
chamber, was q common work Of
princes. The rock temples Of Nubla,
too, and Of India ahoW that in certain
matters, at any rate, moderns may still
learn from ancients. Then again in
algeria, Switzerland, wherever the
Romans went, are to be found tunnels
Of all kinds and designed for all pur-
poses. for roads and drains and water
supplies. Pliny makes mention Of one
notable achievement, tho greatest OF
its kind in his day, the great tunnel
constructed for the drainage Of Lake
Fucino. 1t was by far the longest arti-
fetal tunnel in the world at that time.
More than three and a half miles long.
It was driven under Monte Salviano
and required for its construction shafts
of no less than 400 feet. Some 10000
men were employed upon it for II
years. From the time of the Romans
until the latter end of the eighteenth
century no great advance was made
in tunneling methods. Old engravings
Of mining work in the early years Of
the seventeenth century show the pick
ak or hammer and chisel as still the
chief tools employed. With the ad-
vent of the railway, however, tunnel
ing became one Of the grand neces-
stiles of construction, and progress
was more rapid.

Habits and economic status: The
prairies Of the upper Mississippi val
ley, with their numerous sloughs and
ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for
redwings, and consequently this re-
gion has become the great breeding
ground for the species. These prairies
pour forth the vast flocks that play
havoc with grain fields. East of the
Appalachian range, marshes on the
shores Of lakes, rivers, and estuaries
are the only available breeding sites
and, as these are comparatively few
and small, the species is much less
abundant than in the West. Red
wings are eminently gregarious. liv-
ing in hocks and breeding in COM
munities. The food of the redwing
consists of 81 per cent animal matter
and 73 per cent vegetable. Insects con-
stitute practically one-fourth Of the
food. Beetles largely weevils, a
most harmful group amount to ~
per cent. Grasshoppers are eaten in
every month and amount to about s
per cent Caterpillars (among them

Flour Is Explosive.

During the last ten years, about
twenty explosions have occurred in
cereal, flour and feed mills, with the
loss Of two million dollars worth of
property, as well as the killing or in
juring of over 200 employees. Inves-
LEGATIONS regarding the causes of these
explosions and subsequent fires have
not proved conclusively what are the
difficulties to be avoided. In eight
cases the explosions are believed to
have originated from the sparks pro-
duced in the machines during the
grinding process. Tiny particles of
gravel or metallic substances coming
into contact with the plates of the
machine may produce enough sparks
to ignite the dust within the machine.
Another possible cause for cereal
dust explosions suggested is the use
of naked fiames.-Popular Science

Horse Has RaatIme Habit. 1

A horse has an ear for music. A
Cleveland horse has preference for
ragtime. When he heard the notes of
a popular song from phonograph the
other day In store he fox-trotted
right across the sidewalk, dragging a
Wells-Fargo express wagon after him.
The wagon became wedged in the
door, and the animal, unmindful of
the screams of women and shouts Of
clerks, set his ears forward and lis
tened to the song, allowing himself to
be led away by Joseph Davis, the driv-
er. only when the phonograph had
been shut off.

Tommy Learns to Eat Frogs.

From the French comrades British
soldiers in Macedonia have learned to
appreciate the value of frogs as a sup
plement to the bill of fare, The hind
legs served on toast make an excellent
savory.
The men enjoy the sport of catching
the frogs with bits of meat tied to the
end of a string. The sport, besides
providing a welcome addition to the
cuisine, helps to reduce the strength of

the social instinct of the species has
its highest expression in the winter
roosts, which are sometimes frequent
ed by hundreds of thousands of crows.
From these roosts daily flights of
Elany miles are made in search Of
food. Injury to sprouting corn is the
most frequent complaint against this
species, but by coating the seed grain
with coal tar most of this damage may
be prevented. Losses of poultry and
eggs may be averted by proper housing
and the judicious use of wire netting.
The insect food of the crow includes
wireworms, cutworms, white grubs,
and grasshoppers, and during out
breaks of these insects the crow rem.
ders good service. The bird is also
an efficient scavenger But chiefly
because Of its destruction of beneficial
wild birds and their eggs the crow
must be classed as criminal, and a
reduction in its numbers in localities
where it is seriously destructive ID
