The Secret Dynamite Chamber of the
CatskiIl Aqueduct.

The Catskill aqueduct system is re.
markable as an engineering feat. One
of the most curious expedierts that
the engineers contrived was the cham
Der for storing dynamite. They had
to have large supply of explosive at
hand. yet the law sternly prohibited
any such accumulation within the city
limits of New York. where it might
cndanger life or property.
Finally in the dip between the One
Hundred and Tenth street and the
One Hundred and Twenty second street
shafts. $50 feet below the surface. II
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 a sar-
cophagus, contained the dynamite.
There was nothing else in the silent
and gloomy chamber II 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, it 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 in the rock on which the great
city is built. Slowly, very slowly, it
will fill up with a silent, motionless
pool of water. never to reflect the
faintest CLEAN of light. In time, no
doubt, the existence of the cavern viii
be forgotten. A thousand or two
years hence it may be rediscoYered
Clearly it 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 inviolate by the unspeak
ing rock.-Youth's Companion.

Governor Alexander on Monday di-
rected the state insurance commits
sionert to make an investigation of the
rates charged by the fire insurance
companies operating in the northern
part of the state. 1t is alleged that
the rate on the University of Idaho
buildings has been increased more
than 25 per cent and the chief exc
cutive wishes to know the reason. The
attorney general has been asked if
the state has any authority to act in
the matter. 1t is claimed that excess
sive losses in the northern part of
the state have caused the fire insur-
ance companies to increase their rates
and the governor desires to know to
what extent this is true.

The federal government, through its
bureau of forestry, is finding out
when and where the trees of this con-
tinent first blossom and put forth
their leaves in the spring, and when
their seeds ripen and fall, and their
leaves shed in autumn. 1t already
has this information about ~ differ
ent varieties Of trees. When this is
known about all the trees in this
country it will be printed in stree
calendar" In pursuit Of this knowl-
edge many interesting things about
trees have been learned. For exam
Pile: The first sign of spring in this
country is the Towering of the silver
maple in western Florida about Feb
ruary /, and it keeps blooming as the
season advances northward at the rate
Of 20 miles every four days, until it
flowers on the Canadian border about
April /, when spring arrives there.
The next tree TO bloom is the sweet
gum, which is in flower in Florida and
Texas about February 20. The latest
tree is the Eastwood, which is in flow
er in Georgia in early June and on
the Canadian border the middle of
July. The silver maple blossoms be-
fore its leaves come out, but the bass
woods leaves are out two months be-
fore the flowers appear, Some folks
will ask what good can come of this
knowledge. One answer is that it is
an aid to weather science in furnish
ing data of the advance of the spring
northward and Of the autumn south
ward. 1t is also an aid to the bureau
of forestry in it's gathering of tree
seeds for planting.
