The civil engineer of the present age
is a wizard who annihilate spaces and
matter. The highest mountains, the
deepest valleys are his playthine; he
bridges one and tunnel- through the
bowels of the other. The railroad
from Call no through the heart of Peru
is the highest and most wonderfully
constructed line in the world. The
grades are often of 3(X feet to the
mile.and whn the Andes were reached
bo difficult was the work that laborers
were lowered from cliffs above by
ropes in order that they might carve a
foothold to begin the cutting for the
roadway.
Tunnels are more numerous than
open cuts and as far as the road has
gone sixty-one tunnels have beeu con
structed, aggregating 'J0.000 feet in
length. Tho road attains a height of
15.IXJ0 feet above the level of the sea
and at the highest point is about equal
to the topmost peak of Mount Blanc.
It pierces the range above by a tunnel
3,847 feet long. The tunnels of the
Andes, however, do not compare with
those of the Union Pacific, nor do the
latter approach the tunnels of the
Alps.
The improvements in locomotives
rendered them capable of climbing
grades, which in early days of rail
road engineering were deemed out of
the question. The first railroads were
laid almost level, but it was soon dis
covered that a grade of a few feet to
the mile was no impediment to prog
ress, and gradually the grade was
steepened. To the energy and perse
verance of inventors the success of
mountain railroading is due. The
road up Mount Washington, finished
in 1868, was the first, antithe road up
Pike's Peak is the latest of steep lines.
Of the European roads, the one up the
sides of Mount Kigi in the Alps is the
most famous. It is 19.0U0 feet long
and in that distance rises 4,000 feet at
an averaging grade of one foot to
every, four. At places the grade is
about one foot in two and a half, which
is believed to be the steepest in the
world.
BEARS AND PICS.
i
They Live Together In Perfect, Harmony
,' 'la the National 1'ark.
Of late years a number of bears have
made a practice of living about the
hotels and -camps in the park, says a
National park correspondent of Forest
and Stream. They are becoming "par
asites." or bruin tramps, talcing what
they want, making no effort for self
support, and living on the table waste.
They are "hog robbers," no longer
worthy a sportsman's attention. One
very large bear at the Upper Geyser
Basin hotel is as regular about coming
to his meals as a "star boarder." Once
when the yardman was taking a large
Eiece of waste meat to the pig-pen
ruin met him in the trail. The yard
man, not at all frightened, held out
the meat. The bear walked up, -took
it from his hand, went to one side a
'short distance, and ate the grub as un
concerned as though it was the proper
thing to have his meals brought to
him. The bears get in the pens, eat
with the pigs, or rather drive them to
one side and eat what they want. I
believe but one hog has been killed by
them the last summer. At the slaugh
ter-house in Swan Lake bhsin at least
nine bears live on the refuse which is
thrown to the hogs. They get into the
pen, quarrel witn the pigs, cuff tnem
out of the way, often making them
squeal with pain, and light each other;
the big ones driving the others off.
So far they have not attempted to kill
anv of the uisrs or sheeD that are cor-
raled near by every night. The herder
and butcher have , become so usea to
the bears that they do not fear them
much except wnen tney meet uem
after dark; then thev are willing to
give half the road. There are about
twenty-five bears who are living about
this way during the season, lhey are
in color black, brown, grizzly-gray and
cinnamon.
HIS LAST CAME OF FARO.
A San Franciscan's Christmas Kve Expert,
enee In Wrestling: with the Tiger.
They were talking about playing
faro, says the N. Y. ' Herald. Each of
the party had related some experience
of hisownin -tlinsnvith the tiger"
with the e--- f one, who wasap
parentlv w: the rest to get
through belu. .ad his say.
"Well, boys," said this .last one,
"I've quit playing faro. I received my
last lesson just ten years ago, around
Christmas time. I was then living in
San Francisco. I was traveling in
pretty hard luck then. I was a clerk
in an insurance office. My salary was
$60 a month. I was married, too, and
it was a pretty hard hustle to get
along. When the 24th day of Decem
ber came arouad I was as blue as" in
digo. I had drawn all of my December
salary. I was broke. - 'Not much of a
Christmas for us,' said I to my wife as
I left" the house that morning to go to
work. About noon my employer called
me into the private office. I was hand
ed a check for $25 as a Christmas
present. I was also told that my salary
was to be increased to $100 a month,
and that the increase was to date from
Dec. 1.
"Hooray! Hen was $60 in a hurry.
My, but wasn't I happy! 'Boss wants
to see you,' .said the office-boy, coining
to my "desk an hour later. '1 have a
little surprise for you. .said the boss'
as I entered his private office. Imagine
my astonishment, as well as delight,
when I was informed that an uncle" of
mine had authorized the firm by tele
graph to draw on him for $40 and
present the same to me as a Christmas
nft. Talk about feeling like a million
aire. Well. I should say so. Of course
1 rang for a messengerboy and sent a
note to my wife post haie telling her
to prepare for a gladsome surprise
when I arrived home. I had $465 in
gold in rov pocket when I left the
office that" afternoon. Now the back
rent would be paid and 4 would buy
all manner of presents, and we'd have
a rousing Christmas dinner that would
just obliterate all the pangs of our re
cent poverty.
Mv friend Dick and I left the office
tog-rtW. We took a drink: of cowrae
1 traattxf. Alia tnen JJiott trwated aaa
w had another for luck. Thn Dick
made a proposition. We would 1 drop
tn at Billy Briggn' faro bank on Sutter
street. Rot to gamble to any eitent,
Merely to risk a 'fiver apiece for holi
day expenses. Well, in we went. I
put down $5 on the hich card and lost.
Then another $5-piece went after the
first one. And then my! but it makes
me shudder to think of it even now.
Oh, what a time I had for the next
half hour! It was the old. old story.
t Sending good money after bad. In
just half an hour 1 was busted clttan
broke. Don't ask mu about that mel
ancholy Christmas day. Mere words
will not describe my feelings as I
wandered aimlessly alxuit the streets
that night. And then I sn-:ikl home
and the 'gladsome surprise' that my
wife was so auxiously waiting for.
Gentlemen, I didn't get over that aw
ful Christmas eve in a hurry. Have I
ever played faro since? Not much.
And I never will."
Monetary Depression Due to Grip.
A Philadelphia physician tll the
Record that the long-continued depres
sion in the money market is duo to the
grip. "The mysterious disease," he
says, "leaves an after-effect upon the
victim that continues for months and
years after his apparent recovery. It
returns from time to time with varying
intensity and throws the patient into a
state of lethary that utterly squelches
all desire for work. Since that epidemic
has touched a large number of those
interested in the money market and
financial affairs, I believe I am right in
my explanation of the troublous condi
tion of financial affairs at present."
A Composition About TRonee).
The following composition on bones
was written for a school exercise by a
boy:
Bones are the framework of the
body. If I had no bones in me I should
not have so much motion and grand
mother would be glad but 1 like
to have motion. Bones give me
motion because they are something
hard for motion to cling to. If I had
no bones my brains, lungs, heart and
large blood-vessels would be lying
around in me and might get hurteu
but now the bones get nurted, but not
much unless it is a hard hit.
If my bones were burned I should
be brittle, because it would take all
the animal out of me. If I were soak
ed in a' acid I should be limber.
Teacher showed us a bone that had
been soaked. I could bend it easily.
I would rather be soaked, than burned.
Some of my bones don't grow close to
my body, snug, like the branches of a
tree, and I am glad they don't, for if
they did I could not play leapfrog and
other nice games I know.
The reason they don't grow snug to
mv body is because they have joints.
Joints is good things to have in bones.
There are two kinds. The - ball and
socket, like my shoulder, is best.
Teacher showed it to me, only, it was
the thigh bone of an ox. One end
was round, smooth and whitish. That
is the ball end. ' The other end was
hollowed in deep. That is the socket
and it oils itself. It is the only, ma
chine that oils itself.
Another joint is the hinge-joint, like
my elbow. It swings back and forth
and oils itself. It never creaks like
the school-room door. There is another
joint that don't seem like a joint. That
is in the skull. It don t have no
motion
All my bones put together in their
right places make a skeleton. If I
leave any out or put any in their
wrong places it ain't no skeleton.
Cripples and deformed people don't
have no skeletons. borne animals
have their skeletons on their outside.
I am glad I ain't them animals, for my
skeleton, like it is on the chart, would
not look well on my outside. Popular
bcience xVew-'s.
That French Cook.
The French cook in her native land
certainly has some privileges and bene
fits the mere mention of which would
make her American sisters open their
eyes wide with astonishment. An
article in the Chautauguan gives a list
of some of these perquisites which a
French domestic considers hers by
right. One is her allowance of wine.
Just so many bottles (three and a half
quarts per week) of the vin ordinaire
mttsi be provided, or there would be a
strike. As this is the poor wine of the
country, costing from 75 cents to
$1.50 per dozen (most likely watered
but not alcoholic), there is no fear of
intoxication with this small quantity.
A second privilege which is hers is the
"cinq per cenL," or the commission of
one sou on every franc granted to the
cook by all the tradesmen with whom
her mistress deals.' The coal mer
chant, the grocer, the butcher, and the
milkman all ungrudgingly bestow this
money on the cook when the bill are
paid at the end of each month to keep
the custom. She is then supposed to
interest herself in their behalf to di
rect the custom to their shops. This
is quite a lucrative business for her,
for in a family where the living ex
penses come up to $300 a month her
gains would amount to $15, which
means much more in France than in
America. The morning meal of the
domestic consists simply of black coffee
with sugar, and bread without butter;
but if von should give her a dinner
without soup or a salad of some kind,
she would feel ill-treated. She will
make this same salad for herself out of
almost anything that is left over; a
few slices of beef, the outside leaves of
the lettuce, cold boiled lxttatoes. or
even a few dandelion leaves; but salad
she must have.
HABITS OF THE UNTAMED HORSE.
Be Make a Rover of His Domesticated
Hretbren When He Meets Them.
Very voung student in their first
attempts at composition often inform
ed us that the horse is a useful animal.
This sweeping generalization is sub
ject to important modifications before
it is accept! in aH communities.
There are manv thousand . of hornes

are looked upon as intolerable nuis

ometimes invade. Our Australian

th 'horse tn his untamed state, sad
( soma of the colonies set a price upon
his head, and do all they can to stimu
late movements for his destruction.
Seven thousand wild horses were shot
in New South Wales alone in 1H75.
These rovers of the plains play the
mischief with domesticated animals
when they come among thorn, and the
colonists are very much disgusted Ut
observe that the noble horse, rcluiming
into barb iri.sm and forgetting his oat
and the other comforts of civilization,
runs off with his wild brethren who
have not enjoyed his superior advant
ages. It must be confessed that our horse
need the restniinls imposed upon them
to prevent them from disgraeing their
ancestors, who were ccrtai 1 1 1 y I itnest i
cated when thev were introduced into
this country. Years ago it used to be
the custom in our Southwestern terri
tory to brand young stock and even
many work animals and turn them
loose to shift for themselves for a year
or two. When they were wanted they
were always as wild as Mexican mus
tangs. Mr. Powell wrote a book on
the In'st method of taming wild horses.
The specimens on which he exerted hi
talents as a tamer wero, for the most
part, formerly domesticated animal
who had forgotten all alxxit their re
straints while wandering over the
plains of our Southwestern territory.
Travelers in Western territories are
no longer in danger of such an eruption
of horse-flesh as Murray describes in
his "Travels in North America." He
not only witnessed a stampede of
thousands of panic-stricken horses, but
the living torrent swept along toward
and over his camp, tramping skins and
dried meat into the ground, knocking
down some of the tents, and taking
with them all its horses except bin
riding mare, who vainly struggled to
break her fastenings. They still
range in much smaller herds than
formerly on the plains of the Upper
Colorado; but the wild horses like the
buffalo, has practically disappeared
before the advance of the white man.
In spite of the experience of the
Australians, many people, chiefly say
age, have been able to turn the wild
horse to good account. Hundreds of
thousands of Mexican mustangs have
been reduced to servitude. The wild
horse of the South America pampas,
which three centuries ago, only fifteen
years after the horse was introduced
from Europe, had spread to regions at
remote as Patagonia, has been tamed
by thousands, and has become the u.e
ful servant of Indian tribes.
Naturalists often discuss thcqtiestion
whether there is now in the world such
a cre-iture as an aboriginal, or truly
wild horse. We know very well that
tu.. 1 I.,.-,.,. , . i... .. .. ........ 1 .
tut: vuu iiui bi:b ui wmt nrniiTiji jiv-ium-
phere are all descendants of domesti
cated animals. Where, then, is "the
aboriginal wild horse to be found !' The
question will probably never be rat
tled. M.J. H. Steel, who recently
read an interesting paper on "Wild
Horses" before the Bombay Natural
History Society, thinks the evidence i
in favor ot the exi.-t.'iiee of l!e wild
horse in Central Asi:i. (Je.-,iitj; the great

secured some specimens is not himself
the descendant of ancient domestic
animals.
Another question of importance as
yet unsolved is whether two or three
years run on the pampas would ro
juvinate the average street-car horse,
develop the latent savagery of his
nature, and make a wild horse of him.
If equine liberty and freedom from
human restraint could achieve a mira
cle of such proportions it would be
very interesting to know. (Jol'l

QUEER SORT OF A BRIDAL TOUR.
It Was Hade In the Cable Car llenide ller
Gripmto Spoils.
It was pretty cold in the forward
compartment of one of the Seventh
and Ninth street cable cars last eve
ning. The short benches on each side
of the gripman were empty save for
one figure that of a petite and pretty
brunette in a warm gray cape ulster
with a big fur boa around her neck.
The conductor put his head through
the door for a moment and came back
chuckling.
"Love's a funny thing!" he said, as
he got back on the rear platform and
rung up two fares. "There's Jim's
wife in there with him. Jim's the grip
man, you know. They've been mar
ried near two weeks, and I'm hanged
if she hasn't put in the best half of the
time riding round with him in the car.
They couldn't afford to take a trip off,
you see, and so they're putting in the
honevmoon in this way.
"Sfie's a little brick, though, I tell
you," he went on as he started the car,
after a pause to help on board a stout
woman with seven packages, "and
when I get married, if ever I do, I
don't want no better. It gets prettv
cold in there along in the evening; but.
bless you, she don't mind it. This is
his last trip, and she never fails to take
it with him. Then, when he knocks
off, they walk home together as happy
as a pair of doves."
It was quite dark in the gripmau's
compartment, except from the glim
mer from the store-windows and the
electric-lights as the car shot past
them. Hut it was light enough for
them. The stalwart young gripman
would bend down once in a while to
say a word or catch a glimpse of her
