miles from Colorado Spr'ESS; buf. by
going across the mesa, Glr-n Eyriv. and the
Garden of the Gods the distance is ma
‘ teiitlily increased. It isa town of about
500 in population and is situated in a car-
rv rw vailr-y among the foothills at the base
or Pike's Peak. From.the Garden of
' the Gods, it is seen nestled down in the
valley below it, yet its elevation is 6,297
feet. This town, though small in itself,
being about two mile long by one mile in
breadth, is yet abundnnlly supplied with
accommodations for visitors, having four
hotels and several cottages owned by the
hotels,st i visited annually by then-
sands of people wire go there for health.
The climate is very beneficial for invalida,
and the high mountain air is accessible
either by walks or rides, while the natu
.rai springs form its most important feature
They are said to be peculiarly efficacious,
and that many remarkable cures have been
cfiectcd in those who have taken the
waters systematically. All of those
springs are conveniently located. As
stated in last week’s Gszn'r'rn, our party
was divided, because the Barker house,
at which we stayed, was unable to accom-
modate more than the four, for whom
rooms had been engaged previously.
Though our party was divided, yct nvisit
from one to the other was found to
i be very pleasant. In this way, and by
visitingr the springs, together with an in-
spection of the bath house, the evening
was very agreeably spent. The gentle-
man having charge of the house was very
poltte in showrng us all the rooms.
_ run SPRING].
Of these there are six. The Shoshone,
which is often call the sulphur springs,
three soda springs and two iron springs.
The water from the soda springs in quite
pleasant to the taste and reminds us ofthe
carbonic acid water as drawn from the
fountains in the stores, while the Iron‘
Ute, as it is called, is highly effervescent
and agreeable, notwithstanding its marked
chal‘ybcate taste. The new bathhouse
was built in 1883, and is directly’cpposite
the Barker hotel. 'This is of great lux-
ury to summer boarders, and inasmuch
as tiic water used in the baths in from one
of the adds springs. it is considered as
conducive to health. The bath house has
been erected by a company called the Man-
iton Mineral Water Bath and Park com-
pany, who have also purchased the
grounds on which the two soda springs
are located and have surrounded them by
a wall of handsome stone. The. building
and its arrangements cost $20,000
From a little pamphlet issue by the com
pany, the following account is taken:
“Four tall towers guard the several cor-
ners of the building, and the facade is or-
namented with a wide balcony, from
which thercissn extended view of the
valley, the plains, and the surrounding
mountains. The architecture is of no par-
ticular order, though rtgher inclining to
that of Queen Anne. The towers are for-
ty Ivo and'sixty feet high, and in one
there is no open room from which a still
grander view is bad of the town and its
surrounditgs. The main building is 116
by 67 feet in size, and consists of two
stories. There is butlittlc ornamentation,
' and the idea has simply been to furnish a
complete bath houseinwhichvisitors ml..- rt
avail themselvesof the famous water if
Manitcn. The first story contain; the ter-
ident physician’s room. ladies” parlor, gen-
tlemen's parlor, and the general manager’s
room. luck of vbehpartments there are
twenty bath rooms, thirty—two dressing
closets, andaplungc bathing tank I! by
83 fert lqusre. The Water llhl'd infhis is
fresh from the’mountnins and delightfully
pure, while in the tub baths, cold or ,9
heated mineral waters arcfused. ‘In the
second fioor are three parlors, the direc
ton-room, and chambers for attendants.
The house is heated by steam generated
in an edifice-back of and separated from
the main 'building, and is lighted by
electricity and gas. Each bath tub i

rrxs's rnax.
While at Maniton we are directly at the
base of Pike‘s Peak. The iron spring
which we visited, was a short distance up
the road leading to the Pike’s Peak trail.
The elevation of this peak is variously es-
timated from 14,147 to 14,366 feet. Ad-
mitting it to be 14,250, we then find it to
be nearly 8,000 feet higher than Maniton.
In order to reach this height of about one
and a half miles, the traveler must follow
a trail of arms thirteen miles in length.
For this purpose, sure-footed horses and
mules can be obtained at the livery
stables, and it will take four or or five
hours to make the journey. Ladies
as well as gentlemen go up in par-
ties. home pedestrians have accom.
plished this fatiguing journey. But the
time is not far distant when a railway'.
will be laid for the whole distance. From
one of the Denver papers, just published,
the following item is clipped, showing
that what has been deemed a mere pcsai- -
hility, is now going to be a rcality:-—-
"The railroad up Pike‘s -Peak is ‘fa t
nearing completion, and’will be ready
for business by the 1st of June. The
grading has already reached Crystal Park,
a point about half way up the mountain.
Trains will he run to this point while the
work goes on higher ‘up. The distance
from Charlton tethc top of the peak is
only about twelve miles by the trail, but
the refined will cover about thirty-Ive
miles. The aamccngincsae are run on.

At'elto the next morning the carriages

The Tunnel Under filo-Mersey. ‘
It is announced by cable that the great
railway tunnel under the river Mersey is
at the point cf completion, anti that com
munication between the Lancashire and
Cheshire shores was opened on Wednes—
day.’ The engineering enterprise is just
now of special interest. in this country in
view of the Hudson river tunnel enter-
prise.
The tunnel of Liverpool is a little shtit
of a mile long, and, as usual in such on-
dertakings, it has been bored simultane-
ously from both ends, with the intent to
break from one perforation into the other
user the middle of the river. The enter
prise has required much patience, because
the stream is deep. The entire tumor
had to bedrtven through rock. No check.
however, has been experienced from en-
countering seams through which the water
could break, and huge pumps have easily
disposed of I all ordinary leskings and
drainage. The engines. working by com.
pressed air'or steam, for drawing away
the refuse from the borers to the shafts,
and thence hoisting it to the surface, call
for no special description.
Carefully lined with brick and cement,
and having a width of twenty-six feet,the
tunnel, lighted by electricity, will doubt-
less supply to general satisfaction thc
the chief motive for its construction. It.
will take directly into the heart of Liver-
pool trains that hitherto have been forced
to end their journey at Birkenhead, there
transferring their freight and passengers
to ferry boats. In Ilivcrpoel the tunnel
will be continued so as to connect with
and its proprietor in the highest terms. ”1/“, the converging “he,“ railways.

As a description of thrs narrow defile
which leads Westward from Mnniton, and
» which once was the old Ute Indian trail,
Wsl given in the account of the visit in
1332, it. will not. be expected that anything
by the Way of repetition will be said at
this time. Suffice itto say, for the bene-
fit of those Who may not remember the
previlus account, that this road is a steep
hill, having en the right. as you ascend a
perpendicular wallof solid rock that is
quite high; that it is a narrow defile not
wider than is requisite for one vehicle at,
a time; and thatvon the left, is a deep
precipice with a small stream of water
dashing down and falling oyer in cascades.
In some of the photographs which are
made of this place, several mule trains are
seen dcsccndin the trail. In the picture,
it wouldsscm as if these teams were
placed ib‘ithtlf position for effect, and a
natural desire was to he an eye witness of
the scene itself. It. was on the occasion
of our driving up this pass that .this

Twenty-five years ago Dr. Willard, cf our

Considerable has been said against thr-
good faith of the road by journals publish-

and the principal argument advanced ti-
show that the Olmstead company new-r
would complete their line has been that
it had no outlet, the line ending at Green-

management of the road. The company
has the oflcr of three different inlets intt
New York city, either of which will provl
convenient and advantageous. Under the
railroad law or New York state no trouble
will be caused in' building a road to the

the company desire to construct their
lines in this state before building in New
York. .
As matters now stand it clearly seems to
be the purpose of the Olmstend company
to build their road and have it com-
pleted as soon as is consistent with
good thorough work. The "road cer-

unless something entirely unforeseen oc-

Quilting the Baby.,
Carlton Dunlap, a carpenter, lives with
us wife and two children at Branch’s Sta-
ton, a few miles from Waverly. N. Y.
One child is a bright little girl three years
old; the other is a baby about two months
rid. It is frefful and cries a great deal.
A few days ago the baby was more than
asunlly cross. Its moths-r had been try
tog in vain to quiet it for a long time.
At length the little girl Nettle said:
‘tht shall we do wiz baby, rnsm‘ma,
f he don’t stop his tryin’l" “We’ll have
to sew his mouth'up, I guess, Nettie,” the
mother tboughtlessly replied. The next
fny while the baby was sleeping in it..-
cradle lira. Dunlap run too neighbor's on
in errand, leaving Nettie playing on th
floor. She was detained longer than all
spected to he, and while hurrying bank
tome and'on entering the yard she heard
our baby shrieking as though in great
pain. She ran into the house and there
.. found Nettie standing by the sideof
. cradle and bending over the baby.
when Nettie heard her mother enter she
to 1‘ up. Blood was running from the
'mlly’s mouth. Nettie held in her hand a
tiarning-nccdle containing a short piece of
yll'l] which Mrs.Duuirlp had leftsticklng
in a cushion on the table. Mrs. Dunlap
"003 the screaming baby quickly from
the cradle. "'Baby waited up and tried,"
mid thtie, “and me jes doin' to new
nim’s mouf up.” She had run the needle
nearly through the baby’s underllp in we
places.
A Get That Can Read.

aid a lady to me the other day, “that

letter comes for her.” ‘,“A ‘ ttcrl” I
exclaimed in astonishment. “Yes, a let-
ter, and if you don’t believe it I'll prove
it to you. J‘ust wait a minute until I
'rllrect'one." My friend left the room,
and in a few minutes returned with a
sealed envelope. addressed, “Miss Pussy,
No.,—- Marlboro street, city." Now,"
said'she, “if you will kindly post that
for me tonight and be here when the
postman comes around on his first
delivery tomorrow morning you shall
see that I am telling you facts.” I posted
the letter as requested, and was at my
friend’s house promptly the next morn-
ing. Soon the bell rang. and shortly
afterward the servant enlered with a
bundle of letters, among which was that
for Mrss’russy. Placing them near her
feline higbncss on the fiber“ my'friend
said, “Now pick out your letter." lurc
enough, Pussy at once showed an inter-
est, and in 'a moment had pushed aside
with her pews the envelope addressed to,
her. I was about to acknowledge my sin '
of incredulity when my friend said
“Wait at minute. She’ll open it and
devour the contents.” lcsrcely had she
said this when Miss I'ussy had torn the
envelope open and in a moment was fit-
erslly. devouring its contents-catnip.

The extreme sensitiveness of the earth's
crnstto any Changes in the distribution
of weight upon its surface is, however,
best exemplified by those local deposi-
tions and removals of matter which have
attracted more general attention at the
present day. The chief of these is the
transfer of matter by river action to large
tracts, and its accumulation in such limi-
ited areas as plains, estuaries and deltas.
Borings of 400 to500 feethave shown that
these often consist of long succefions of
silts, which alternating layers of shells
and of vegetable matter prove to have
been deposited at or near the sen-level,
and the Wealden and oceans formations
in the British area show that such accum-
ulations may exceed 1,000 feet in thick-
ness. Inthecsse of deltas, subsidence
must keep pace almost foot by foot with
the accumulation, and be confined to the
area. over which the sediment in being
deposited, for any more rapid submdenco
would check its growth and convert it
mto an estuary. ' This sinking is appar-
ently of universal occurrence. A similar
instance of the transfer of weight from
larger areas and its precipitation on every
circumscribed area is seen in coral
atolls and reefs. The explanation of their
formation given by Darmn' requires a
gradual subsidence keeping pace with
their growth, which takes place within
twenty fathoms of the surface only. This
theory, simple and admirable as it is, so-
counting satisfactorily for all the ob-
served phenomena of coral growth, has
been contested by Mr. Murray, who has
shown that atolls might be merely incrus-
tations of volcanic peaks. But histheory
seems improbable by contrast, for it de-
mands 200 volcanic peaks at the sea-level
in the Pacific coral area. alone, every foot
of which has been completely concealed ’
by coral growth, though few volcanic crow
tern are known so near the sen~level out-
side this aren. We seem thus to have in
coral growths another evidence of mini
deuce keeping pace with the increase of
weight, sometimes as soundings prove,
to a. depth of 1,000 feet or: more. The re
placement of a column of sea water 100
fnthoms in depth, by a column of lime-
stone, would increase the pressure per
fathom from 6191; tons to 1,487. tons, so
that it is easy to realize how vast must be
the inereased pressure on such an area. as
that occupied by the great reef of Aus-
tralia, 1,250 miles long and ten to ninety
miles broad The sands, gravels and
clays, with marine shells and erratic boul-
ders, prove that. a great submergence
took place during the glacial period,
while Europe was under an ice-sheet
6,000 feet thick in Norway and diminish-
ing to 1,500 in Central Germany. The
extent of submergence has been perhaps
understated at 600 feet in Scandinavia,
and was at least 1,350 feet in Wales. A
corresponding rc-elevtttion accompanied
the disappearance of the ice. It has
often been supposed that the sinking of
the west coast of Greenland is similarly
due to its ice-cap.

A NEW pmxs‘. IN NEBRASKA.
A new industry has taken root in Omaha
which is startling in its fttll development
when one thinks to what results if: may
lead. It is nothing more or less than tr
new rival for liquors, being a palatable
and invigorating substitute. The Omaha.
Union has the following account. of it :
“The beef-ten. trade is looking up,” said
a dispenser of drinks to a. Union reporter
recently, when the latter had dropped
into the place under the impression that
it was the rooms of the Young Men’s
Christian Association. “What has beef-
tea got to do with your business?" asked
the scribe; ”Since the early part of last
fall there has been tr demand for beef-tea
at this bar. At first we laughed at: the
idea. of going to the trouble of making it,
but now we laugh because we do make it
We sell over 100 drinks per day, as it is a
fifteen cent drink there is no reason why
we should not smile. Who drinks it. do
you say? Why, everybody; the man
about town, who has been out with the
boys, comes in here in the morning and
calls for beef-tea ; the business man
comes in the afternoon and braceshjs sys‘
tent with beef ten; the temperance man,
who drops in with a bibulous friend, takes
beef ten; and, in fact, everybody is be-
- coming a slave to the mixed bovine. The
sick even are very sensibly forsaking the
drug stores and coming here for beeften,
preferring it to the nauseating mixtures
put up by the druggist and ordered by
the family physician. Why, if the tea.
only holds out, we vvill wreck every drug
store in the city. The possibilities from
this are many. Beef-tea is at once a tonic
and food. It does not. corrode the stem-
ach and fire the brain. It does not mad-
den, and yet it exhilarates and strength-
ens. Hail to the drink of the future!
Hail beef-ten !"
DISEASE 01.“ T1113. of as Elf-C OUNTERS.
AWashingtoncorreapondent, visiting the
Treasury Department, noticed that many
of the women employed in cormfring bank
notes looked ill, and had sores upon their
-hnnds or hands. The superintendent
gave the following account of thetrouble :
“Very few,” he said, “who spend any
considerable time in counting money es-
cape the sores. They generally appear
first on their hands, but frequently they
break out on the head, and sometimes the
eyes are affected. We can do nothing to
prevent this. All of the ladies trike the
greatest care of themselves in their work,
but sooner or 1 tter they are afilcted with
sores. The direct cause of the sores is
the arsenic employed in the manufacture
of the money. If the skin is the least
obi-aided, and the arsenic gets under the
flesh,o sorewill appear the next morn-
ing. The habit that every one has of
putting the hand to the head and face. it
the way the arsenic-poisoning is carried
to than portions of the body. " See
here, " said one of tho officials, stopping
by the side of a. young lady and picking
up ti. glass vessel containing a sponge:
“ this sponge is wet, and is used to moi-:-
ten the fingers while counting firemen-2y.
You see how block it is. That's lll‘N‘Illt‘.
Every morning a new piece of sponge is
placed on the desk of each employee. but
before the day is over it is as black as this.
Ihave known half a dozen cases where
ladies have been compelled to resign
their positions. There are three liltll“ .-
who were here six years before they were
afflicted with sores. About three nroutiu
ago they were so visited by them that
they had to quit work: They have been
away ever since, and the physician's cor-
tificute in each case says that their blend
is poisoned with arse tic."

The term arose from {1' little pocket-
book, or ledger, at one time served out
to British soldiers. in which were to be
entered the name, age, date of enlistment,
length of service, wounds, medals, etc,
of each individual. The War Office sent.
with each little ledger a form for filling
it in. and the ”M. or N."selected, in-
stead of the legal " .TohnDoe“ and “Rich—
ard Roe,” was “ Tommy Atkins." “The
books were instantly so called," and it
did not need many days to transfer the
pserlonymfrom the book to the soldier
himself.
