THE JOYS OF
BOBSLED RACING
An Exhilarating and Fascinating
Sport Indulged In by Many,
WONDERFUL FAST TIME MADE
The Vankeer, Winner of Race at Hunt
ingtorn N. Went a Mile In 37 4-5
Seconds Switzerland the Ideal Place
For Great Winter Sport.
In an early day, some time after tbe
landing of tbe pilgrim fathers, but be
fore one's waistband grew permanent
ly great, there was a simple outdoor
amusement known as "slldin' down
hill." At that day sleds were roughly
of two kinds, high sleds for girls and
mollycoddles, who sat tremulously on
tbe seat while some one started them
with a gentle push, and low sleds for
boys who took tbe hill with a' ran and
flung themselves down on the sled.
"Belly bumper" was the word to de
scribe this method of descent There,
were, of course, many variations of
the simple sled.
What genius first got the Idea of
connecting two small sleds by a loos;
plank history does not record. We
are told that a bobsled Is "a sled con
sisting of a body resting on two short
sleds, called bobs, one behind ,tbe
other."
In Its early stages the bobsled was
still crude. Often It was made from
two old sleds and an ordinary board,
and the carpeting of tbe plank was re
garded as bordering on the effeminate.
Even with these crude materials the
simple sport of "sleddln downhill" be
comes exciting and even dangerous.
The real refinement of the bobsled
has come in late years with tbe In
crease In tbe number of winter resorts
whose attraction la cold fresh air and
not warm fresh air. f Switzerland
makes a specialty of them, and in
Switzerland tbe bobsled Is a highly
developed speed machine.
No longer Is old fashioned foot and
rope steering gear in use. That did
well enough for the old timer, which
was well loaded with half a dozen
venturesome boys and girls. The new
mnchines have steel hobs made for
that purpose, with a specially arranged
connecting board, which seats between
sixteen and twenty-five, and It Is
steered by a wheel like an automobile.
Even a searchlight has been added by
one builder eager for novelty.
Races for these elaborately made
ilcds are a regular feature of the win
ter carnival nt many resorts. In the
enst Huntington, N. Y Is the center
of the sport, nnd there ench year con
tests for speed nnd for the sled with
the longest "fetch" nro held. In fact,
a big carnival Is planned to be held
'n Huntington Jan. 27. Several prizes
are offered, among them a gold cup
valued at $250. The Yankee, owned
by S. F. Townsend of Oyster Bay. N.
Y.. captured last year's event and es
tablished a record for a mile that will
probably stand for some time, that of
37',4 seconds.
In Huntington the course Is especial
ly prepared for the races. Water is
sprinkled along the hilly road chosen
for the contest, and It freezes until
the route is glare Ice. Start on a
heavy grade over a course of this kind
a sled built for speed and manned by
a crew of sixteen taught to act as one,
and you have the iceboat's greatest
rival.
Owing to the Inconsistency of the
weather in this country a majority of
people know very little of tho possibil
ities of tbe sport. It is not until one
gets over In Switzerland, In one of the
valleys of that mountainous land, thnt
one finds the sport of coasting carried
to the highest point of perfection. It
Is there In the .valley with the poet
ical name Engadine. at St Moritz, that
coasting becomes an art In this val
ley, Its floor as high above the level of
the Rea as tbe crest of Mount Wash
ington, where winter reigns for half a
year and people go' to regain health,
there Is a slide, nearly a miio long
which has a descent of 550 feet. At
some points in the course tbe sleds
travel at the rate of eighty miles an
hour. There Is sport!
Skill has greatly reduced the time In
which the course can be covered. In
the early days the average speed was
about thirty miles an hour. Recent
winners of the contest have averaged,
however, more than forty miles. On
the straight run at tbe foot of the
course a speed verging on eighty miles
has been attained. Tbe same kind of
sport may be had with bobsleds, but
the slnglo racing Bled Is the favorite
for coasting nt St Moritz. The sweep
of a bobsled loaded with several per
sons around one of the curves is an
exciting spectacle. The man at the
helm, with eyes fixed ahead and mus
cles nt high tenslou, keeps the front
bob in Its course. Those behind lean
toward tho inside of the curve, two
or threo of them digging into the
snow with sticks, which throw up the
snow behind like n cloud of dust. Like
an express train it sweeps around the
curve and is gone.

FIRST ROCK TUNNEL
Made Centuries Before Drills ana1
Blasting Powder Were Known.
The first rock tunnel of which
there is any authentic record woj
achieved over 2,000 years ago on
the outskirts of Jerusalem, when
tho way was opened for tho admis
sion of water of the spring of Gihon
to the pool of Siloam.
Gihon, now known B3 Mary',
spring, is in the valley of Kedron
and was the only natural spring in
the vicinity of the city of David,
It was separated from the city by
the Ophcl ridge, a mass of rock, so
that when enemies appeared before
the wall they could cut off this sup
ply and compel the people within
to depend upon stored water. King
Ilezekiah about 700 B. C. devoted
himself to remedying this by con
structing a tunnel, which is referred
to in II Kings, xx., 20, to bring the
waters within the walls.
At that time not only was tunnel
ing through rocks an untried work
and one that must bo done without
such aids in the way of drills and
blasting power as even the most
amateur workman would use now
adays, but there was no mariner's
compass or other means for follow
ing a given direction underground.
The distance from the spring to the
pool of Siloam is about !)00 feet in
a straight line, and the hill over
head is about 150 feet higher than
the spring.
To perpetuate this Ilezekiah'd
workmen had tools of bronze, of a
description now unknown, They
began digging from both ends ot
the same time and tried to keeji
their bearings in u straight line bv
sighting from outside. They dili
not maintain a uniform bore, but
kept the slope of the bottom with
great accuracy. The shaft is from
two to. three feet wide and from ten
feet high at one end diminishes to
a foot and a half in the middle.
Sighting from the outside did not
prove a very satisfactory method.
Many places are to be seen in the
tunnel today where headings were
abandoned and a start made in a
new direction. Even then the tun
nel rambles about and was more
than 1,700 feet long before the two
ends came together. The opposing
diggers were able to find each other
at last by listening for sounds of the
others' picks and working toward
the place whence they seemed to
come. This was learned from an
inscription on the wall of the tun
n.l which was discovered in 1880
by some boys at play.'
For a city situated as Jerusalem
was no gift could 'have been more
welcome than that of an assured
water supply. One can imagine
therefore that tho ceremonies at
tendant upoa tho completion of the
work were on as magnificent a scale
as could then be devised. Chica

Narva and Coolness.
Seated reading in his private
room, the superintendent of a large
prison heard a slight sound and.
looking up,, was confronted by ?.
dangerous convict holding a lonj;
bar of iron. "Don't you move," he
muttered. "I'm going to get away,
even if I have to kill you!"
"But," ealmly rejoined the super
intendent, "I thought it was to
morrow you were going ?"
The man looked at him with stu
pid amazement.
"Yes," said the official, "don't
you know? A pardon came for you
today in consideration of your good
conduct. You can go now, I sup
pose, if you want to. You'd like to
see the papers ? They're in here, I
believe.
He opened a drawer as he spoke,
and the next instant the convict was
facing the muzzle of a revolver.
Easy to Be Calm.
It certainly does make a differ

the patients in the. private ward of
a Philadelphia hospital, according
to a' writer in Lippincott's Maga
zine, there was once a testy old mi
lionaire of that city, whose case
gave his physicians considerable dif
ficulty at first.
"Well," asked tho crusty patient
one morning, "how do you find m
now, eh?"
"You're getting on well," re
sponded tho doctor, rubbing his
hands with an air of satisfaction.
"Your legs are still swollen, but
that doesn't trouble me."
"Of course it doesn't!" said the
old man. "If your legs were swol
len it wouldn't trouble me!"
Relieved
"That must bo a pretty bad
toothache to swell your face like
that. Why don't you see a den
tist?" "I did call on your friend, Dr.
Tullem, yesterday nnd experienced
great relief."
"You must be mistaken. Pullem
hns been out of town for a week."

found that out."
A BIT OF DIPLOMACY
An English Official Who Outwit
ted a French Admiral.
HOW PERIM ISLAND WAS WON
The Interesting 8tory That la Told by
a Whits House on the Foreshore of
the Arabian Coast at the Southern
. Entrance to the Red Sea.
On the foreshore of the Arabian
coast in the strait of Fab-cl-Mandeb.
at the southern entrance to the lied
sea, stands a large white house con
cerning which the travelers to the far
east may hear a curious story. In the
middle of the nineteenth century,
when M. de Lesseps after many diffi
culties had successfully floated the
Sues Canal company, tbe governor of
the British port of Aden, about 100
miles distant, was surprised one morn
ing by tbe visit of a French squadron
of very unusual size for that part of
the orient, which, having encountered
a terrific storm off Sokotra. bad put
in for repairs.
In the mind of the governor curiosity
was at once aroused as to tbe destlno
rton of so targe a command, a curiosity
which Increased as he found It Impos
sible to extract any further Inforwa
tlon from the French admiral or his
o fflcer 8 beyond the statement that
they were upon an ordinary cruise, an
er.ilnnatioii which tbe former was not
tbe least Inclined to believe.
Firm In tho belief, therefore, that
some political move of great impor
tance wus afloat. If not afoot, tbe gov
ernor. In order first of all to gain time
gave orders to go very tortoise-like ou
the repairs and then set to work to
take the Frenchmen off their guard by
giving a succession of such en tertii la
ments as both bis slender means and
tbe awful barrenness of the place
would afford.
But. though at tbe end of two- weeks
tlie French and British officers bad got
upon tho best of terms, the Immediate
destination of the French, squadron
rcuialued as much of a mystery to
the governor of Aden as before, and
In spite of all possible delay tbe re
pairs were nearly completed.
Now, It happened that the wife of
the governor possessed an Irish maid,
who had been receiving attentions
from one of the French petty officers
attentions which the girl did not re
gard seriously. It occurred to the- gov
ernor that by such means something
might be learned of his unexpected
visitor's plans, and a private conver
sation between the governor's wife
and her maid resulted in another be
tween the latter and her French ad
mirer, by which It was discovered
that Periin Island was the objective
point.
At this information the governor
opeuert his eyes wide indeed, for. If
the Suez canal were cut through, l'e
rim, as commanding the southern en
trance to the Red sea, in the middle
of the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, would
ho a place of great strategic lmpc
Innce. over which, without doubt, i.
Was the Intention of the French- ad
miral to hoist the tricolor.
Secretly giving orders, therefore-, for
a gunboat to immediately embark a
detachment of soldiers and steal away
In tbe night for I'erim Island, the gov
ernor then announced a fnrewel) bun
quet and ball for the day but on fol
lowing, a tlual act of courtesy with
.vhich the French admiral would will
ingly have dispensed, for be was anx
ious to sail, but which he could not
well refuse on account of tbe- use he
had made of the British supplies and
machinery ut Aden.
So tbe dinner nnd party In due
course came off, the governor behig lu
high spirits, because lu the menu time
be had received the news of the oceu
patlon of I'erim. which under tbe t-ir
cumstances would surely be followed
by the louged for promotion, and the
French admiral was equally buppy,
for he hoped on tbe morrow to add
the same important llttlespeckof land
to the dominion of bis own . country,
thereby covering bis breast with tbe
stars nnd himself with uuuitluie glory.
Next day, after nn interchange of
cordial farewells, the French squadron
sailed away to an apparently unknown
destination, until, when clear of tbe
land, tbe course was laid full speed di
rect for Peri in island.
Tben what were the dismay nuu (tit
appointment of (he French ndiiilrul
and his officers when, on connug in
sight of their destination, they beheld
the British flag flying and a company
of soldiers drawn up to give them n
proper x:ilnte. It is said the French
admiral was so mortified at bMngthus
outwitted that he first flung fils cock
ed hnt overboil rd and then followed It
himself into the sea. x
Be this as it may, as Teriui was
clearly alreudy occupied by the Brit
ish, the only counter move which the
French could make was to take pos
session of a strip of tbe foreshore on
the opposite Arabian const, where
they built the fortified white house lu
question, but ns the plnce was entirely
ut tbe mercy of tbe guns ou Perlm Is
land It was Bhortly abandoned, to re
mnln to this day as a monument of a
French admiral's undoing. Exchange

WILD ANIMALS.
Man Is Steadily and Surely Working
Their Extinction.
Sir Ray Lankester writes of the
enormous number of living crea
t ures which man has destroyed since
he first appeared on earth: "Even
in prehistoric times it is probabie
that man by hunting the mam
moth the great hairy elephant
assisted in its extinction if he did
not actually bring it about. At a
remote prehistoric period the horses
of various kinds which abounded in
North and South America rapidly
and Buddenly became extinct. It
has been suggested, with some show
of probability, that a previously un
known epidemic disease, due to a
parasitic organism such as those
which we now see ravaging the
herds of South Africa found ita
way to the American continent. And
it is quite possible that this was
brought from the other hemisphere
by the first men who crossed the
Facific and populated North Ameri
ca. "To come to matters of certain
ty and not of speculation, we know
that man by clearing the land as
well as by actively hunting and
killing it made an end of the great
wild ox of Europe, the aurochs, or
urus, of Caesar, the last of which
was killed near Warsaw in 1C27. IIo
similarly destroyed the bison, first
in Europe and then (in our own
days) in North America. A few
hundred, carefully guarded, are all
that remain in the two continents,
lie has very nearly made an end of
the e!k in Europe and will soon do
so completely in America. The
wolf and the beaver were destroyed
in these British islands about 400
years ago. They are rapidly disap-
E earing from France and will soon
e exterminated in Scandinavia and
Russia and in Canada.

Thackeray on Tennyson.
Here is an offhand comment
made on Tennyson by Thackeray in
a letter to Mrs. Procter. Thackeray,
it will be remembered, knew Ten
nyson from the early undergraduate
days at Cambridge. Indeed Thack
eray's verses "Timbuctoo" were
written in good natured parody of
Tennyson's prize poem. "Alfred

If they skimmed tho water, that
meant bad weather. There is grad

a superstition that if any animal in
aboard the vessel bad weather mav

head of the animal is pointed aft
and is held in that direction for
