Fiom a Chicago Paper.
The latest particulars of thp onlerprloo
aro thus given In an nrtlclo by William
M. Curtis lit tho Chicago Itecotd-ltcrald:
"Chicago has many curious and von
deilul things, and tho most recent won
der Is (ho tern of tunnels which have
been burrowed under tho principal
sttcets. Under eery ono of the streets
In tho business district Is an arched pan
aRo, six feet wldo by seven feet slv
Inches high. Tho walls aro covered with
concrete and tho Intersections mo marked
villi brass tablets. A little, narrow
tramwny Is Inld upon tho floor of each of
thobP tunnels, over which mlnlaturo cars
are hauled by mulo power to tho openings
to tho shafts which lead to tho air of
heaen nboe, and furnish means ot en
tranco and exit. Theso shafts do not
open upon the streets, but In tho areas
Inok of tho business houses, nnd during
tho entire construction of the tunnels,
which hns been going on almost secretly
for sex oral ears, thero has not been a
manhole opened am where clc, and tho
streets nnd sidewalks lmc not been ob
structed for a moment. Tho total length
of tho tunnels Is now about twelve
miles.
"Tho Chicago tunnels will ilist servo ns
rnndults for tho witcs of a now tele
phono companv, which Is to lie established
licro nnd which already has a largo build
ing on tho West Sldo and Is fitting up a
still linger one. They call It a secict ad
vice telephone, because It Is cntiicly au
tomatic. There aie to bo no 'hello' gills.
Tho ingenious mechanism nt tho cen

with the neighbor you want to talk with,

It will be possible for the company to de

Rheumatism is but another namo for
uric acid poisoning which is caused pri
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys nnd the rheumntism disappears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
