TAU6HT BY A WORM.
This Lowly Crootur* Suggootod the
First Submarine Tunnel.
The first great unuer water tunnel
was built beneath tbe Thames at Lon
don by Sir Mark Isamlmrd Brunei
Brunei wue one /if the most prolific In
ventors of his time, and he was a pio
neer In many lines, hut the Thame? 1
tunnel Is his greatest memorial.
It was a worm which suggested to j
Brunei the (mssihility of a tunnel un
der the Thames. While passing through
a dockyard he noticed a piece of ship
timber perforated by a destructive
worm—the Teredo Xavalis. Brunei
studied the worm's mode of operation
in boring into the wood, and this sug- j
gested to his mind the com-.traction of
a cast iron shield which should bore
like an auger by means of strong by- j
draulic screws, and as rapidly as the !
earth was cut away bricklayers should
lie at hand to replace It with an arch.
The work on the Thames tunnel com i
menced In 1K!5, and after many vieis- j
situdes and accidents it was completed
In 1843. when Brunei was knighted by
Queen Victoria. Brunei was also the
first to make shoes by machinery, and j
he devised machines for knitting, nail- I
making, ruling pa|ier and making
wooden boxes. In I/ls youtb Brunei
siient several years In America, de
signed and built a theater in New York
and planned fortifications for the city [
-St. Louis Post-Qlspatcb.
SHUTTING UP THE SHOP.
No Brightly Lighted 8how Window* at
Night In South Amorico.
It is rather surprising to the foreigner
visiting South American countries for
the flrBt time to find most of the best
and prettiest shops almost hermetically
sealed at night. If the building Is of
the older style of construction the
beuvy shutters are dosed and locked
by iron bars: If a more modern building
the flexible sliding doors and windows
are completely drawn, and the passer
by cau see nothing within the shop.
All is darkness save the light of the
street lamps. No brilliantly lighted
windows help to add cheer and bright
ness to the street.
In Uuro|iean and American cities the
average merchant is willing to spend
money freely for nightly display of his
wares and merchandise, lie realizes
and appreciates the publicity. The
evening crowds upon our streets are
highly entertained and even instructed
by window displays of the busy streets.
Herein lies the difference, for, as a
rule, the South American streets, busy
and attractive during the day, are
quite the reverse at night Even in
some of the larger cities the old cus
tom of hermetically sealing the shop at
night prevails.—Baltimore American.
Suspended Animation.
As we descend in the scale of animal
life we find that what kills the higher
animals does not injure the lower. Cut
a polyp in two and you have two liv
ing poly|>s instead of one dead polyp.
Break off a lobster’s claw and another
will grow. You may, It has l**en said,
freeze a fly. but you cannot freeze it to
death. There are infusoria called
"wheel animalcules." These rotifers
have many curious qualities, among
which is that of suspending animation
for an indefinite period without ceas
Ing to live. Colonies of rotirers may be
desiccated and rendered apparently
lifeless, and in this condition they may j
be kept for months and years and pos- j
sihly centuries. A single drop of water j
will restore them to life, and the wheel j
bearers will Instantly resume their j
functional activity precisely at the |
point where it was broken off.
Hopeleis Inquiry.
A stranger was questioning Helen,
trying to get her to say her father's
first name.
“What does your mother call your
papa?”
“She calls him my daddy.”
"Yes, but when she wants to speak
to him what does she say?”
“She says. *<lf»9. please.’ ” was Hel
en's reply.
“1 don't mean when she calls him
at the office. When she tells him to
get tip in the morning wbat does she
call him?”
“She says to be ready in about four
minutes.”—Youth's Companion.
8an«krit.
The Sanskrit is the language of the
ancient Hindus. It is not now spo
ken and is understood only by the
Brahmins and by scholars who have
made a special study of it. It bears a
striking likeness to the Greek, Latin.
German, Celtic and Slavonic languages,
and, though Sanskrit is not regarded
as the parent of these dialects, it is
looked upon as the language nearest to
the original speech of the undivided
Aryans.
Free With Their Gold.
While gold is now the standard of
value throughout the world, in the
days of old Greece-gold and silver
were commonly used in the decoration
of buildings, when Phidias and the
rest of the great sculptors swayed the
art of that country.
