Hole Behind the Falls.
Power Tunnel Which is Being Cut Under Niagara’s
Veil.
It is probable that the most interesting
piece of rock excavation ever made is thas
going on beneath the upper rapids of the
Niagara river and behind the great Horse-
shoe or Canadian Fall in the construction
of the tunnel of the Electrical Development
company, of Ontario, which company is
the constructing company for the Toronto
and Niagara Power company.
This tunnel is to have a length of about
2100 feet, extending from a wheelpit to
the gorge, the portal being behind the
sheet or falling water of the Horseshoe sev-
eral hundred feet out from the Canadian
shore. Anthony C. Douglass has the con-
tract, and he iz pushing the work with
great vigor. As the line of the tunnel is
directly underneath the river bed, in or
der to reach it it was necessary to sink a
shaft near shore and then drive a lateral
tunnel nearly 400 feet out behind the
waterfall. Daring the construction of this
shaft and lateral tunnel it was necessary to
raise all excavated material to the surface,
but as soon as the line of the main tunnel
was reached a heading was driven toward
the Horseshoe, and when the face of the
precipice was reached a large opezing was
made, and now all the rock excavated is
being dropped into the lower river behind
the tumbling water.
Right in front of the opening the sheet
of water has a thickness of about 12 feet
and as the line of the tunnel is about level
with the water of the lower river the rush
and tumble of the water over the fall is
tremendous, while blasts of spray and
sheets of water drive about in every direc-
tion. Now and then the water and spray
open up, and it is possible for the men
there to get a view back of the noble water-

fall, but this does not last for any length
of time. It is only a momentary glimpse
on which the eyes feast with the know-
ledge that few have viewed such a scene.
Thousands upon thousands of tons of
rock will be dumped behind the waterfall
at this point, as the tunnel is excavated up
to the wheelpit. Some idea of this quan-
tity of rock may be gained from the fact
that the hole that is being bored under the
river bed will be about 18 by 25 fees in di-
mensions, and all this rock will be tossed
into the river behind the Horseshoe. It
has long been believed that a deep, vast
hole exists in the lower river immediately
ia front of the Horseshoe Fall, because of
the constant falling action of the water,
and the manner ir which the water that is
dumped there disappears would confirm
this belief. Still, it is not the idea of men
who have watched the work and the action
of the waters that the dumped rock settles
to the river bed. On the contrary, it is
the opinion of contractor Douglass that, as
the excavated rock is in the nature of a
shale, when it is thrown into the river the
action of the currents grinds up and it
passes on down stream quite like sand.
Frequently at night, when the tunnel of
the Canadian Niagara Power company was
being built close by, great piles of rock
would be dumped at the portal at night,
and the men would wonder where they
would put the excavated material of the
following day ; hut when the morning
came it was found that the currents had
gradually washed the rock away until all
bad disappeared.
In excavating these Niagara power tun-
nels the rock is taken out in benches, the
lower bench being left till the last. At
the present rate of progress the expectation
is that the tunnel heading will reach the
wheelpit of the Toronto and Niagara Pow-
er company between October 15th and No-
vember 1st.
What Did the Woggle Bug Say ® It's

Join the Woggle Bug Society aud be
happy. : fe
Men, women and children are eligible to
membership. It was organized for the
benefit of children only, with the intention
of educating and elevating the minds of
the young from lessons set’down by the
merry Woggle Bog and his followers, the
Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and Jack
Pumpkinhead. Parents who wished to in-
vestigate the society before allowing the
children to join, have insisted upon he-
coming members also, and, since it was de-
cided to admit all, it is bard to tell who
are the most enthusiastic. One thing sure,
they all laugh alike and don’t have to
leave home to do it, either. If youn are not
ready to join yourself now, see that your
children become members, and you will be
sure to come in later. No charge for mem-
bership fee. For full particulars see the

Uses for Old Paper.
Some is Made Over—Utilized by the Different
Trades.
‘‘New uses for old paper are being fonnd
almost daily by the different trades and hy
the people who have a little ingenious
turn of mind,” said a local junk dealer
this morning. ‘‘You don’t see much waste
paper thrown away nowadays, and when
you consider the great amount that is ac-
camulating it seems remarkable. The
newspapers are reeling off tons of paper
every day. All shis great quantity of
paper must be destroyed or used. There
are eager scavengers of the city after every
stray paper and bundle of wrapping paper.
If it were not so the Street Cleaning De-
partment would bave to organize a special
corps of men just to collect newspapers and
burn them.
‘Most of the newspapers are gathered np
and converted into marketable paper again
and some go in with the rage to make var-
ious kinds of commercial material, but out-
side of these two lines of industry the pa-
per is made into differents useful articles of
a wonderful nature. The newspapers are
made of spruce pulp, and by a steaming
process they can be reconverted into a
smaller pulp again. This pulp is not so
good as in the first instance, and no one has
found a way vo make it possible to use it
over again for newspaper work. However,
it is chewed and steamed up and then used
for many other purposes. Wood pulp nov-
elties, lead pencil holders, paper weights
and ash receivers are manufactured from
this waste paper.
‘‘Ot cource there are experimental work-
ers in waste paper, and some of them are
working on problems which appear very
easy of solution, but which in reality are
very difficult. For instance, what seems
easier than to use the paper over again for
printing? Why not boil and steam your
waste paper and roll it through machinery
into new sheets for the daily presses?
Nothing appears at first sight easier, but
there is nothing that seems to give hack to
to the paper the life which the process of
printing takes form it.
Shop Girl Marries Millions.
Heir to a fortune, variously estimated at
from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000, Fraucis
Edgar Talcott, son of James Talcott, of
New Haven. Conn., vice president of the
American Hosiery Company, was married
June 30th in New Britain to Miss Ada
Blierly, aged 23, a preet shop girl. Miss
-Blierly is the daughter of John Blierly, an
employe of the New Britain Knitting Com-
pany, and up to the time of her marriage
was employed in the factory of the Packer
‘Shirt Company. She has been living at
her home here since her marriage.
Her husband bas been called to New
York by his father, and it is stated is now
employed in one of his father’s warehouses
in New York. It is stated that the father
bas not taken any steps to disinberit his
son, but insists on his earning his own liv-
ing.
Gans Talcott came to this city at the
request of his father to learn the knitting
trade. In the mill he became acquainted
with Miss “Blierly’s father, by whom he
was introduced to the daughter.
——Mrs. Winks—How much better off a
man would be if he would take his wife's
advice !
Mis. Blinks—Yes. I've advised Charlie
time and again not to bet on horses that

Grant Wouldn't Scare.
Soon after Mr. Lincoln’s great spirit had
taken flight, April 15th, 1865, General
Halleck appeared at the Baltimore & Ohio
station to escort General Grant to the War
Department. They parted at Secretary
Stanton’s private office door and Halleck
paced nervously up and down the corridor.
At length, turning to Grant's staff at-
tendant, he said :
*‘Don’s let General Grant stop at Wil-
lard’s. He will not he safe there.”
*‘But, General,’’ the attendant 1eplied,
“wouldn’t such advice to my chief be pre-
sumptuons ?”’
Aftera moment’s reflection Halleck so
modified it as to request its delivery as an
earnest wish from bim. This was done in
front of the White House, eliciting in-
staneous response :
“‘I reckon if they want me they’ll find
me wherever I may he. We’ll go to Wil-
lard’s.”’—*‘Grant’s Shadow’’ in National
Magazine.

fair? Head of Family—Yes. I want to
make some kind of reparation to Royal for
allowing his mother to give him such a

PLAIN TALKR.—Mr. F. P. Green makes
it as plain as he can. A great many peo-
ple cannot understand how Vin-te-na can
cure catarrh when located in the head,
where if;is first noticed; but whether in
the head, throat or stomach, Vin-te-na
destroys the disease and makes you well.
Catarrh is an inflamed condition of the
mucune surface and is the same wherever
found. Local treatment may give relief—
Vin-te-na brings the cure. Mr. Green gives
his personal guarantee with every bottle of
Vin-te-na, and if you are not satisfied with
the results he will return your money. Get
a bottle to-day.

wail oft-times comes as a result of unbeara-
