RE + in diameter it would hardly be fair to CAISSON WORK. Mow Foundations of Great Steel Structures Are Built. The foundations for the great structures are built by means of sons in which the men can work und a great pressure of air. tis a v interesting sight to watch them, the best of it Is that any one may see | them at close range from an adjoining | sidewalk. The caisson is a hollow steel | sylinder open at the bottom #nd just i large enough to permit a man to work. The workman climbs down a ladder In | this tube and digs away the earth at the bottom. As the earth Is taken geway the steel tube is gradually low- | ered. The earth is taken out by a | bucket, which is lowered and raised by | a tall derrick at one side As the caisson sinks, air is pumped into the compartment containing the man. This is to force back any water or dirt that might 6il the hole from the outside as fast as the workman removes it from within, The pressure of this air is of- ten so great that a man can work but an hour or so at a time. At the top of the caisson Is a steel cylinder with an air tight door at either end, which serves as a kind of vestibule to the tube below. When one of- the caisson workers starts to go to work he opens the door or lid at the top and climbs in, when the opening Is once more tightly clos- ed This door or lid is air tight. Aft- er the opening to the outer air has been closed the workman opens the door at the bottom of this steel com- partment and lets In compressed air from the caisson below. It takes a few minutes to become accustomed to breathing this atmosphere, for the heavy air makes the head ring. As soon as the workman can do so he climbs down Into the funnel below, closing the lower door of the steel anteroom as he does so. All this must be done In the dark. If the workman wishes to signal the outer world he may do so by striking the steel sides of his narrow prison with his shovel. He usually signals in this way when the bucket is to be raised or lowered.— Frances Arnold Collins in St. Nicholas. HOW THE MOON LOOKS. Queer Variance In Impressions as to the Same Object. 1 asked my men to compare the size of the full moon to that of some ob- ject held in the band at arm’s length. 1 explained the question carefully and said that they were to describe an object just large enough when seen at arm's length to cover the whole moon My list of answers begins as follows: Quarter of a dollar, fair sized canta- loupe; at the horizon, large dinner plate; overhead, dessert plate; my watch, six inches in diameter, sliver dollar, bundred times as large as my watch, man's head, fifty cent plece, nine inches in diameter, grape fruit, carriage wheel, butter plate, orange, ten feet, two inches, one cent plece, schoolroom clock, a pea. soup plate, fountain pen, lemon pie. palm of the hand, three feet in diameter—enough to show again the overwhelming man- ifoldness of the impressions received. To the surprise of my readers per- haps it may be added at once that the only man who was right was the one who compared it to a pea. It is most probable that the results would not have been different if 1 had asked the question on a moonlight night with the full moon overhead. The substitution of the memory image for the immedi- ate perception can bardiy bave Im- paired the correctness of the judg- ments. If in any court the size of a distant object were to be given by witnesses, and one man declared it as large as a pea and the second as large as a lemon pie and tne third ten feet en——— steel cals. £3 form an objective judgment till the psychologist had found out what kind of a mind was producing that estl- mate. — Professor Hugo Munsterberg in McClure's. Clean Chopsticks Sure. “Seeing these quill toothpicks done up in paper envelopes io the hotels here.” sald the man from the far east. “reminds me of the Japanese eating places. In the bigger hotels or restau- rants they hand you the chopsticks done up in a sealed envelope. This is with the idea of convincing you that they never have been used before, which is not always so. In the cheap- er restaurants they have a much bet- ter plan for setting your mind at rest. There you get a plece of wood as broad as two chopsticks split to with: in an inch of one end. When you take this piece of wood you split it the rest of the way, and there you have the two sticks. You can be sure then that no other person has used them.” —New York Sun. The City of Glorious Sunshine. Of all the living works of man which 1 have visited | think none is the equal of Moscow in interest and beauty. It is a city of glorious sunshine, of gold- en domes and silver crosses and of multicolored cupolas, of palaces and temples. In it are found all the re- finements of the west and all the cu- rious fascinations of the east. Even the incidents of ordinary commonplace civilized life are touched by a favor of romance.— Wide World Magazine. i i Compensation. “But suppose you awake from your dream to find that the feet of your idol are but clay?” “That wili be all right if | find the rest of him turned into dust.”—Hous- ton Post.

Steriet Roe at $10 a Head and Peanut Bud Jelly at $250. Public interest has recently been ex- cited by a remarkable dinner party given in London at which twenty-four people sat down and which cost §15,- 000. Some high class chefs who kaow the deepest mysteries of thelr business are inclined to say that this was really nothing after all. The most expensive soup that can be served is Chinese bird's nest soup. which can hardly be done at less than $35 for a moderate plate of it for each guest. When the fish course is reached in the menu the most expensive item pos. sible is the newest cavaire, made from sterlet roe and not from common stur- geon. There are only one or two Lou- don restaurants at which this rare delicacy may be obtained, and the charge for it is $10 per bead. * Mullet roe, another rare dish, costs more than its weight in silver, while those who do not wish to advance quite to this point in expenditure might be satisfied with a more frequently served dish, Caribbean pompano, which has to be brought to Loudon on ice from Galveston or [Pensacola and which costs $5 to $10 a pound. A game Lie, made of the little birds called ruffs - small things with long legs and a ruff of feathers behind their necks. belonging to the sandpiper fam- ily—is about the most expensive thing possible in this direction and cannot be done for less than $50 to $75, while if the ruffs are unusually scarce the charge for the ple may easily run up to $100. Dunstable larks come next. They are fairly common on the tables of epicures, but it costs quite $7.50 to serve a single dish of them. There are not so many possibilities for gigantic expenditure when the joints come on the table, giraffe steak or bison ribs at anything from $2.50 to $5 a nead being about the best. As for sweets, the thoughts of a millionaire host who wanted to beat the record and knew his business would naturally fly to a jelly of peanut buds and ginger, which would be sent to him in little pots from China at a charge of $250 a pot, one tablespoonful in each. Forced strawberries in the middle of winter are most expensive to buy and may run to anything from $5 to $25 a head. A great delicacy at one time was the double cocoanut, or coco-de-mer, which is only grown on two small islands of | the Seychelles and which was last sold at $200. It is, however, so extremely rare now that an enactment has been passed forbidding its exportation un- der any circumstances.—London Stray Stories. INVISIBLE SNAKES. A Den of Reptiles That Eluded the Ordinary Passer's Eye. The fact that snakes are rarely seen even when they are abundant was im. pressed upon the mind of the writer one day while waiting for a train at a small station in New Jersey. A nearby culvert, where a small stream flowed under the junction of the rallway and a well traveled public road, seemed a favorable place for them The stone wall, laid up without mortar, which supported the approach to the bridge had a southern exposure. The chinks afforded ample hiding place, and the reedy borders of the stream promised good hunting for the species which live upon small fish, frogs, toads and earth- WOris. The flagman, who for several years had passed ten hours a day at his lel surely occupation there, denied that there were snakes in the vicinity. “No more than there be in Ireland, an’ it's not me as would be tendin’ this cross- in' If there was,” he asserted. But a few minutes’ search in the gutters and grass revealed four specimens which had been under his very eyes—a gar- ter, a worm, a De Kay and a newly hatched milk snake. A new flagman was Installed there the following day, but crowds of people, many of whom would become hysterical at, the sight of a snake, continue to pass within three feet of the wall blissfully uncon- scious that they are walking over a When the Clock Stops, When the clock has stopped you may bave seen the wife or husband take it up and shake it to #tars it again. Sometimes they succeed. Some little clogging particle is removed by the shock aud she clock «tarts again. Bat it does not go very long before it runs down. Another shock per- haps starts it, but the clock soon stops again, and presently has to be overhauled hy the clock docior. It’s something the same way with the liver. It stops its nse- ful and necessary offices, sometimes, ani the man or woman affected tries to jar it into starting. with some powerful pill or potion. Perhaps they succeed. But the sucoess does not last. The liver soon stops again, and finally they have to go to a doo- tor. The value of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in such cases, is that it carries off the clogging particles which in- terfere with the health of the body. It strengthens the liver, purifies the blood, and heals diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and natrition.
