The ScowCovered Alps Have Very Warm Hearts It is very curious that the great obstacle encountered in tunneling undci 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. and Such aheat in a moisture-lade- n 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 of 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 deImproved grees will be reached. methods of ventilating, cooling and working will all contribute, however, toward overcoming the difficulties o working.

And singu-- j larly enough there is a chapter of co- -i n c i d e nts which seem to unite the fortunes of the house of Bonaparte and the house Chaka. 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 con quests over great territories and subjugated neighboring tribes and built up for himself an empire. It flourished until it broke itself to pieces against the English Just as the empire of the Bnllt for Wrecking Porpoiei She Is t Be Cod to Search for Lott Cargoes Coaid Destroy Torpedo Defense Any Harbor of is considered an authority upon coast defenses, says that the Argonaut could easily destroy the torpedo defenses of any harbor in the world. The primary use of the boat, however, is for wrecking purposes, and she is to be employed to search for lost cargoes.

A civil engineer hung out his shingle, and, styling 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 so 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 postoffice was at Dyea, some five miles distant by water, and as it was rather inconvenient to go there for mail and perhaps he disappointed an enterprising; Yankee established a postoffice 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, hut charged you 10 cents to mail a letter if he furnished the stamp and 5 cents if you furnished it. Although we have been in dire need of a government postoffice here for three months Uncle Sam has only just sent us a postmaster, who begins his duties IN A MINING TOWN.

Then it was that Cetewayo the heir of Chaka, summoned forth his whole force and hurled his "impis, or regiments, on the British.
