Caat Iron Tunnela.
Two tunnels of cast iron for an elec
tric railway have been built in London
and put in operation for rapid transit
They are three miles In length and lie
between forty and sixty feet below the
surface of the city's streets. The tun
nels for the up and down lines are
formed of cast iron from beginning to
end, save where the stations are built,
and their diameter is ten and ten and
one-half feet, the tubes being formed
of rings one foot seven inches long,
made in sections and blotted togather,
The tunnels were dirven by means of a
snort cylinder, a trille larger in its inner.
diameter than the exterior diameter of
the cast-iron tunnel lining. This
cylinder has a cutting edge, and is
forced forward by hydraulic jacks, but
ting a circular way into which the lin
ing plates are fitted, the narrow space
between the lin ing and the soil being
filled with lime cement forced in under
high pressure. In their course the
tunnels pass beneath the bed of the
Thames and through the bed of an old
water course, where loose, wet gravel
offered some trying obstacles to be
overcome.

down the main staircase when a figure

"1 lost my voice," said lie in an

It was formerly' say fifty years ago,
uncommon for a new Island to appear
above or an old one to disappear
beneath the waves of the I'acitic ocean.
Such occurrences were sometimes noted
as often as two or three times a year
and were so common aa to hardly
excite comment among navigators and
scientists. Of late, however, the
Pacific has been "pacific" indeed. It
is thirty-six years since the last Island
disappeard, aud exactly a quarter of a
century since tbe last new one popped

A Convincing Experience.
In their occasional trips to town,
farmers' sons are very apt to receive
the impression that young men in
cities not only have a less monotonous
life than they, but work neither as
bard nor as many hours.
One who had very decided opinions
in this resiieet came to town last
August and secured a position in the
fruit department of an extensive deal
er in "family supplies." During the
unprecedented rush of the next few
weeks, when fifteen hoars constituted
in ordinary day's work, aud two or
three additional ones were not unusual,
be evidently did considerable thinking
before he said to the proprietor, "Well,
Mr. A , I have concluded to quit
next Saturday night.''
"You have? What's the matter?
Anything gone wrong? asked Mr.
A , in his sharp, direct way.
"Oh, no! I suppose it's all right, but
I ain't used to it. When I was to home,
father always hired a steam threshing
machine for two or three days every
year, aud just about worked the life
ont of everybody. Now I've been here
leven weeks and you've threshed every

favor. He hastened to call on him and

The conversation turned on general
mbjects, and de Tressan found no op
portunity to refer to the past or to
make the embarrassed apology which
le would, no doubt, have offered but
for his host's tact. Just as he was

the good you can possibly derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufact
