It is very curious that the great obstacle encountered in tunneling undei d Alps is the excessively high temperature, says the Boston Transcript. In the construction of the Mont Cenis tunnel, according to statistics collected by M. Victor Brandi-cour- t, the highest temperature recorded was 86 degrees Fahrenheit, which was reached at a point near the center of the tunnel, about 5,100 feet beneath the mountain summit, on which the mean temperature is 27 degrees. The St. Gothard was still hotter, a temperature of 95 degrees having been observed in the center for several days. Such nheat in a moisture-lade- n and impure atmosphere, could be endured but five hours a day for two days in three; and so prostrating was the labor at Mont Cenis and St. Gothard that the physician who attended the workmen ten years reports the number ol invalids to have been as many as 60 in 100. Stranger still was the appearance of a tropical disease due to intestinal parasites that is known only in the hottest regions of the earth. Even greater rock temperatures are expected in the great tunnels projected in recent years those of the Simplon, St Bernard and Mont Blanc experienced engineers predicting that under Mont Blanc a heat considerably greater than 100 degrees possibly above 125 degrees will be reached. Improved methods of ventilating, cooling and working will all contribute, however, toward overcoming the difficulties o working.

Early in the century, when Napoleon was overrunning Europe with his armies and dazzling the minds of men with his genius an English sailor was wrecked on the African coast and wandered into Zululand. He was taken before the young chief Chaka, and to him he told of the wonderful outside world, of which the chief had heard rumors, and as all the world was then filled with the name of Napoleon he told of the rise of the Corsicans and how he had conquered nations and built up for himself a great empire. The story of Napoleon captured the fancy of Chaka, and he resolved to be an African Napoleon. Then began the rise of the great Zulu power in South Afrlea, and Chaka spread his conquests over great territories and subTurkey In Virginia Konst with the Dojugated neighboring tribes and built up mestic Fowl. for himself an empire.

Mr. P. M. Yeager, living at Travelers Repose, W. miles west ol Va., and twenty-fiv- e Monterey, has, according to the Richmond Dispatch, six wild ones running with his tame flock. These, however, have a little romance connected with them that does not often come into the life of a turkey. One ddy last spring Mr. Yeager and his daughter, Miss Pearl, went from their home to a clubhouse several miles distant and situated in the solitudes of Cheat mountain. . Fishing down one of the mountain streams for trout, they unexpectedly flushed a covey of wild turkeys, consisting of the mother bird and a nestful of little fellows. The old one flew away to a safe distance, while the little ones, true to their nature, scrambled away and hid among the DINIZULU. ferns.

THE CONDITION AND POPULATION OF SKAOUAY, From Chaos to Urban Order Electricity Take the Place of Tallow Dlpe and Pared nud Graded Streete Replace Muddy Waites. (Special Letter.) OUR months of American e n t er- prlse has placed at the head waters of the Lynn canal a city with a population of nearly 4.000 souls, and scarcely week a passes without adding from 100 to 200 more argonauts, all bent on the same purpose the accumulation of gold. Some will engage In business here, while the vast majority will push onward at the first fall of snow to a country the greater part of which Is unknown, and many of these poor adventurers will never again behold the light of civilization. Few appreciate the hardships confronting them, and less are prepared to meet them. Some will attempt to get over the pass and forced to abandon the attempt will return to Skaguay to engage in business here. It makes but little difference the business Is, for the professional man of yesterday It Is may be the bartender of any way to make money In this most cosmopolitan city, and many a man who prided himself on his gentility and neatness at home may be handing drinks over a bar while his friends in the states suppose he is washing out gold by the pound. To those who have never been fortunate enough to witness the growth of a mining camp It is well nigh Impossible to portray the rapidity with which a thriving city will be erected on ground which would have been deemed useless. Skaguay and Skaguay four months ago are two different places. On the 12th day of last August there was nothing but a few tents erected on the beach, with no indications of streets and alleys, business blocks and comfortable y homes. nearly all classes of mercantile goods are offered for sale In stores that would do credit to any city of ten times the population; streets and alleys are properly laid out and In many cases graded, comfortable homes have been built and a church erected by the citizens. When I first saw Skaguay it was from the deck of the steamer Queen on the morning of Aug. 12. Then, by actual count, there were but twelve small tents pitched on the beach Just above high-watmile of tide mark. About one-haland, as level as a floor and strewn with driftwood, met the eye until the view was interrupted by a dense forest of pine and spruce ranging from one mountain to the other. From base to of a base it is about mile, the two walls of solid granite converging toward each other until, within three miles from the water, they nearly meet, and form a canyon through which the waters of the Skaguay river pour with unceasing roar. People then had no idea of stopping here any longer than absolutely necessary, but within the week many arrived Intent on obtaining some of the cash brought in by the countless horde. The inevitable saloon and gambling den opened for business, first in large tents, with bars roughly constructed from boxes and logs, and tin cups made to answer the purpose of glasses. Such The Klon-dlk- e, signs as The Bonanza. "The Pack Train were prominently displayed and numerous grafters were constantly circulating among the crowds of newcomers, soliciting their patronage. Many were the various devices employed to reach the ; C gl y. established was a sawmill and as soon as lumber could be produced frame buildings sprang up In every direction and the tents fast disappeared. A civil engineer hung out bis shingle and, etyllng himself city engineer, was besought on all sides by people anxious to secure a town lot. This, necessitated the proper platting of the town and lots were taken up for two. miles in the timber, where then It was' deemed bo far in the wilderness that they would be useless, but now those same lots are selling at $75 or $100. Hotels and restaurants were next in order and all did a thriving business. It is a point to remark that no one has embarked in business of any nature here who has not made a success. Three wharves nearly a mile In length each have been constructed on the waterfront and passengers may now alight from steamers and walk In comfort to the business part of the town quite a contrast to the method of disembarking passengers with their outfits on the rocks, where they were compelled to use every effort to escape the tide, which was In vogue only one month ago. The nearest postofflee was at Dyea, some five miles distant by water, and as It was rather inconvenient to go there for mail and perhaps be disappointed an enterprising; Yankee established a postofflee of his own, where he handed you your letters and papers at a cost of 5 cents each. This same individual, wishing to evade the laws concerning speculation In postage stamps, refused to sell them at all, but charged you 10 cents to mall a letter if he furnished the stamp and 5 cents if you furnished it. Although we have been In dire need of a government postofflee here for three months Uncle Sam has only Just sent us a postmaster, who begins his duties to-d- To-da- er lf three-quarte- A SUBURBAN RESIDENCE.

A night In Skaguay is a night never to be forgotten, and as one visits the many dance houses and gambling roomB he will see men of every nationality and every walk in life. The slums of our largest cities seem to have opened the gates and deposited here the very lowest types of moral depravity. Electric lights now take the place of oil in most of the stores and larger buildings, and preparations are now under way to light the streets by the same agency. Seven councilmen have been elected by the people to exercise their Judgment for the welfare of the city and steps have been taken to open a pubis lic school. business Ordlhary conducted here on everyday business principles, and it Is safe to predict that by the 1st of August, 1898, there will be at least 10,000 residents in Skaguay. A Step at a Time. In accomplishing your days work, you have simply to take one step at a time. To take that step wisely Is all that you need to think about. If I am climbing a mountain, to look down may make me dizzy; to look too far up may make me tired and discouraged. Take no anxious thought for the morrow. Sufficient for the day yes, and for each hour In the day Is the toil or trial thereof. There is not a child of God in this world who is strong enough to stand the strain of today's duties and all the load of tomorrows anxieties piled upon the top of them. Paul himself would have brnkpn down It he bad attempted the experiment. We have a perfect right to ask our heavenly father for strength equal to the day; but we have no right to ask Him for one extra ounce of strength for anything beyond It. When the morrow comes grace will come scufflcient for its tasks or for Its troubles. Theodore L. Cuyler.
