Tn. Horse. Of St. Marx.

The horses of st. Mark were TAX
EN- from Chios in the fourth century
by the Emperor Theodosius and
placed in the great hippodrome at
Constantinople, whence they were
taken by the Venetians in the year
1904. Venice and Constantinople
were bitter rivals in trade, and
largely through Venetian intrigue
and diplomacy the fourth crusade
was turned from it's original pur-
pose into that of the capture and
practical destruction of the splen-
did city on the Bosporus, thus max
ing it possible later on for the
Turks to establish themselves on

A CITY IN A SALT MINE.
Wonders Of q Singular Underground
Town In GaIioia.

Town In GaIioia.
Wieliczka, some SIX miles from
Cracow, in Galicia, is an interest,
ing town, not for what is in it, but
for what is under it. The salt mine
there is the greatest in the world
and the most wonderful. 1t actual
iy forms an underground city. The
Wieliczka salt mine is two and one
half miles long from east to ives,
and 1850 yards wide from north ia
south, says a writer in the Man
chester Guardian.
1t has sever levels, and the low
est is nearly 1000 feet deep. 1t is
entered by eleven shafts. The differ,
ent levels are connected by flights
of steps hewn out of the rock salt.
In the mine are chapels, tramways,
a railway, a railway station, a ball
room and several other halls, all
hewn out Of the rock salt with elab-
crate architectural decoration.
There are sixty-two miles of pony
tramways and twenty-five miles Of
railway. All these lines and the
principal passages, or "streets,"
meet in a sort of central cavern.
Here is the central railway station
with spacious waiting rooms and an
excellent refreshment room. 1t
looks, according to a visitors de-
scription, more like a summer pa
vilion than a railway station with
its latticed galleries and its rows of
stately pillars cleaning white and
iridescent.
The oldest building in the mine
is the chapel Of st. Anthony, which
dates from 1851. It contains three
affairs, a pulpit and much statuary,
all deliberately carved out of rock
salt. BUT services are now held in
the modern but equally elaborate
chapel OF st. Cunigunde, which is
entered by descending f~orty-six salt
steps. The chapel is fifty yards
long, fifteen yards wide and thirty
feet high and is used regularly for
worship.
The ballroom is a huge room,
where the miners often hold their
festivals. A miners orchestra plays
regularly in the hall, not only Tor
the dances, but for the entertain
ment of visitors. The mine has
been worked for at least 800 years.
1t belongs to the Austrian govern
ment and gives work to 1000 men.

Mrs W. has conducted a family
laundry for several years at her
home on South Linden St., where
she has done a large business. Many
citizens believe the needs of the city
now call for a regular city laundry,
fully equipped with machinery and
plant for laundry work. 1t is very
generally expressed among business
men that here is an opportunity for
someone with sufficient capital and
knowledge of the business to estab-
fish a profitable business and insure
the employment Of several people.
