Tunnel in Dispute

New Zealand has aroused contr0-
versy by declaring that its new 0tira
tunnel, which pierces the Southern
Alps of New Zealand for distance Of
five and one-third miles, is the longest
In the British empire.
Londoners retort that their Piccadil-
ly tube runs for about eight miles,
from Baron's court to Finsbury park.
They also point out, further, that the
Central London railway stays under
ground for seven miles, between Liver
pool street station and Wood lane, and
that the Bakerloo and Hampstead
tubes have continuous tunnels for
more than six miles.
The most important tunnel in the
British isles is that beneath the River
Severn, joining Bristol with South
Wales. It is four miles long.-New
York Times.

When we trip forth on q rainy day
meath wids-spreading umbrella. Sc
cure in the feeling that our best bon
net viii not be ruined by errant rain
drops, we do not think we are doing
anything eccentric or modern. To be
sure. an umbrella is neither modern
nor eccentric, so far as the present-day
meanings of the words are concerned.
But the umbrella Is, nevertheless, com
paratively modern, when we consider
that 1t Is less than 200 years old.
Among old Colonial records In New
England there is an indignant account
of the atrocious actions of a society
belle OF Windsor, Conn. II seems that
the fair damsel walked forth upon a
rainy day, bearing above her naughty
head an umbrella that had been
brought to her from the West Indies.
The good townspeople. shocked and dis
mayed at such frivollty, thronged about
her, open-mouthed. and, to show their
disspproval. hoisted their large sleeves
on long spoon handles. and followed
her with ridiculous, mincing steps
In 1877 there was but one umbrella
In, Cambridge, Mass, and the owner Of
II made many a good penny renting 1t
out by the hour to cautious persons
who happened to be caught out In the
rain. The reason why umbrellas were
20 slow to become generally adopted
probably was because people of means
did not travel on foot, so had not great
need OF umbrellas, and those without
means did not possess clothing SO fine
that 1t must be protected from the rain.
Women carried umbrellas long before
men could deign to adopt them. 1t
was considered effeminate and rather
below the dignity of the hardy man to
80 about under the shelter of fiimsy
umbrella.
