TAUGHT BY THE SWALLOWS.
How a Railway Tunnel Was Built
Through a Sand Bank.
A colony of bank swallow* taught a
young but observing engineer bow to
build a tunnel that his more learned
superiors had refused to undertake.
North cf Burlington, Vt, lies a
broad sand plain high above the level
of Lake Cham plain, through wlilrb the
Central railroad was to be iarru 1 by
a tunnel. The sand, destitute of moUt
ure, would no; cohere, but crumbled
away as soon as an excavation was
made. After several costly trials the
engineers decided that the tunnel was
Impracticable.
A young ma" in the engineer's i ce
said be could tunnel the sand !>::■ k at
a small cost. He said lie couid build
the tunnel for so many dolhi's a run
ning foot, but that he couldn't expect
the railway people to act upon his
opinion when so many American and
European engineers had (' iiv ! the
project impracticable.
The managers, however, gave liini a
contract to build fifty feet of the tun
nel. On the face of the sand 1 ink lie
marked the line of an arch I a rarer ilv.ti
the proposed tunnel ami on this lit •
drove shnrjiened tlml>ers into the ban!;.
Then he removed sii feet of the sand
and drove In another arch of twelve
foot timbers, removing six fcit n re
of 6?ind. This process he repeated un
til be had space enough to U«giu the
masonry As fast as the masonry w is
completed the spa-e above It was
filled, leaving the timbers In ] la •<?.
He pierced the liank wit!) * Tic cheap
est tunnel ever built. *\ hich now
stands as firm as <>n the day it was
finished.
He was asked whether there v.- is
any suggestion of the structure adoit
ed by him to be found in t!ie hooks <>n
engineering
"So." be said, "it came to me in this
way: I was driving by the p!rce
where the attempts were made and
saw that n colony of swallows had
made their homes in the bank. It oc
curred to me that these little engineers
had disproved the assertion that the

Heed This Advice.
Kidney trouble is dangerous and
oten fatal.
Don't experiment, with something
new and untried.
Uso a tested kidney remedy.
Begin with Doan's Kidney Pills,
Used In kidney troubles f.O years.
Recommended hero r.nrt every
where.
The following statement fornn
convincing proof.
Mrs. E. A. Laird, 903 \V. Thirty
fifth St., Los Angele, Cal., says:
"About seven years ago my back be
caino lame and painful and my kid
neys did not act right. I was weak
and run dowrl. I finally began using
Doau's Kidney Pills and soon not
iced their good effect. I con
tinued until my kidneys were norma
and my system was toned tip. When
ever 1 ltave had the le-.st need of
a kidney remedy since, Doan's
Kidney Pills have brought satis
factory results."
Points o< the Crescent Moon.
Why il.n-s tin- moon sometimes ap
pears with points turned upward nod
at other times downward? There Is
one cause only—the rotation of the
earth. If the moon rises with points
turned upward then, when it sets, the
points must turn downward—that is.
the western horizon meets the points
in its upprwit appLTiiu-h: they point
toward it. apimretitly downward, in the
western sky.—New Vork American.
Felt the Power.
Bill—Music has a wonderful influence
over us.
Jill—I know it.
"Did you ever feel • the power of a
sln.wr over you?"
"Sure! 1 married i one!" — Yonkers
Statesman.
Upward ReviGion.
"When first 1 consulted you about
my eves yuu told me it would cost 10
francs. hut your hill is for 100 Cranes."

my treatment. N»«" you are leu. times
