a TickIish Bit of TunneIinq.

A very interesting bit of tunneling
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock and at one point test holes show
ed a thickness of only eight inches
of sound dry rock above the line along
which the top of the tunnel was to
run. As the tunnel was being driven
without the use of compressed air it
was decided to drop the upper head
ing four feet until this thin cover of
rock was passed. The cast iron lining
was set in place at each side of this
section and the rock was removed
very carefully by using great many
holes, each loaded with about one
eighth of a stick of dynamite. AS each
bit of rock was removed the arch of
the tunnel lining was set in place. By
this means the dangerous section was
tGnneled without breaking through
the thin shell.

have originated in this part of Eu-
rope. In Belgium and Holland. the
dogs do not loaf about as they do in
America In Holland / saw one dog
pulling cart in which three men
were sitting. and on the roads we
passed many dogs pulling carts, writes
a Belgian correspondent in the Kan
sas City Star. Even more dogs are
used to pull carts in Belgium. as the
GERMANS left very few horses in this
country. To judge by appearances,
virtually all the husky able-bodied
dogs in Belgium are broke to har-
ness" But the roads are good and
the carts not heavy, usually. and the
dogs seem to like it. The drivers were
holding back rather than driving many
of the dogs we passed, and in one viii
lage we saw dog bark and beg to be
hitched up when a woman started out
on a short trip with a push cart.
When she yielded and hitched up the
dog we saw why she had hesitated.
The dog was a big, strong fellow, and
so eager to pull that she had a hard
time holding him back.

To BRIDGE the Golden Gate.

Steps for the realization of one of
the greatest projects ever contem-
plated in California-the Golden Gate
bridge-were taken at a mass meet
ing OF. .citizens in San Rafael early in
August.
The surveys show that the bridge
could be constructed directly over the
Golden Gate from Fort Baker to Fort
Mason. The Gate has total width at
that point of $500 feet, and soundings
show rock formation in the center.
which would support the central span.
A San Francisco banker has offered
to finance the project with a loan Of
$1O,OO0.000, the estimated cost. The
only condition is that the government
grant the hackers franchise and regu-
late the toll charges.

MONKEY BRIDGES ARE MYTH
Famous Scientist Attempts to Explain
the Origin of the
Story.

From our school Biographies we
used to learn that South American
monkeys cross alligator-infested
streams by linking their tails and legs
to form living bridge. In school
readers" published as late as 1897
there are pictures of this extraordi-
nary feat of monkey acrobatics. Prof.
E. w. Gudger, in an article quoted by
the Scientific American, attempts to
explain the origin of this story, but
is not believed by any recent explor-
ers.
SO far as it can be traced it was
first told by Padre Jose Acosta in
1899. The first person to dispute its
veracity was Baron Humboldt. Final
ly Messrs. Leo E. Miller and George
X. Cherrie of the American Museum
of Natural History, who have done
SO much travelling and collecting in
South America, suggest to Professor
Gudger that the story of the monkey
bridge" has come about through OBJ
servation of a procession of monkeys
crossing ravine or stream on a pen
dant Llama.

sWATMAN, SPARE THAT FLY!
Swat Not a Single Wing; They Tell
Us IT'S Surplus Fly and
a Useful Little Thing.

Not all flies are enemies of man and
deserving of being hunted with the
swatter and trapped with fly paper, ac-
cording to G. F. Fluke, entomologist at
the Wisconsin experiment station. The
syrphus flies, commonly called sweet
bees" and 'hover flies" are the chief
enemies of plant lice, according to Mr..
Fluke, and the latter would cause
enormous loss if their numbers were
not kept down by the flies.
The surplus flies are marked with
black and yellow bands on the abdo-
men, but they neither sting nor bite.
The adult lays eggs among the colo
MES of plant lice, and when the larvae
hatch they feed upon the lice. But
for the flies, plant lice would destroy
large areas of fruit trees and field
crops, especially peas, Mr.. Fluke says,
and they should therefore be protect
ed, rather than killed.
