I "A company has undertaken to do prty-eight miles of tunneling under rike's Peak and the territory near by. t will begin at Sunderland Creek, kear Colorado City, and run in a [outhwesterly direction tc a creek |ome distance beyond Independence ind Victor. It is to be built for a louble track of railway and have the egulation dimensions of railway tunlels, fourteen feet wide and eighteen ligh. A branch line will leave the aain tunnel at a point under Indetendence and ran to Cripple Creek, (lacing that mining center within Biseen miles of Colorado City. The disance between the two is by rail at resent fiftv-four miles. I[ "The two mouths of the main tunpel are to have the same altitude, 6800 feet, and the grade of the tunnel will [be one foot to the 100, enough to drain it well. This will give the divide an altitude of about 7400 feet. The summit of Pike's Peak is 11,000 feet above the sea and Cripple Creek nearly 10,-' 000. The plan includes also laterals, or cross tunnels, at several different points. One is to be at or under Crystal Park and another under Cameron's Cove. The longest one will cut the main line not far from Bald Mountain, and run under that peak in one direction and under the summit of Pike's Peak in the other. This cross tunnel wili be over fifteen miles long. Then another tunnel is to connect this cross arm with the main line, joining ? j.v_ iv.

A contract now in escrow in Colorado City requires that the work 6hall be commenced within ninety days. The intention is to have forty-eight miles tunneled and the main line in operation before March 1, 1906." A liar Harbor Summer.' Mount Desert upon which island the town of Bar Harbor, Me., is situated, has been cut nearly in two by the sea, and the tides rush into the narrow inlet with impetuous force, as if anxious! at every flood to complete its work of dismemberment. But the solemn peak of Mount Desert looks down unmoved npon the fretful 6ea. The mountain rises out of the waters as an emblem of eternal peace and quietude in the midst of eternal restlessness, ic is this close combination of mountain and ocean that makes the island oi Mount Desert so inspiring and so popular a resort. Bar Harbor, where the summer visitors chiefly gather, was, until the last decade or two, a simple, primitive village of fishermen, and even now the artificiality of its 6ummer life is a mere grafting upon the sturdy parent tree. There is not much sea bathing at Bar Harbor. The I surf is too violent and the water too cold and the shore too abrupt for the favorite pastime of more southerly reBorte. The days are passed in rowing and yachting, and in climbing ovef cliffs for the wonderful views of the mountain and the sea. And these days pass quickly, as does the Bar Harbor summer. It is intense and merry while it lasts, bat before the middle oi September it is dead. In October I icicles begin to form on the cliffs, and Bar Harbor goes to 6leep. A goodly proportion of those to -whom it has extended its hospitality have gone to Xenos, the autnmn social Mecca in the Berkshire Hills, or are reveling in the glories of the White Mountains.?

In the first large engraving are represented two different styles of the latest gigot, or leg o' mutton, sleeves in modified size, according to the present mode. No. 1, writes May Manton, is of silk and wool etamine, dashes of silk being thrown to the surface. The sleeve is shaped with a single seam simply gathered at the top and arranged over two seamed linings that fit the arm comfortably. No. 2 is of chameleon brocade and has a separate under-arm portion. The fullness stands out fashionably from gathers at the top, fitting closely from elbow to wrist where they are plai nly completed. These sleeves can be made of any material to match or contrast 8] with the waist, basque, tea gown or g wrapper in which they are inserted, c< and the wrists can be trimmed in any p desired style. a( The quantity of material 44 inches a; wide required to make either No. 1 or 0 No. 2 design is lj yard9 for a 36-inch a 6ize.

Fancy silk striped batiste is nere ichly combined with moss green eamless V-6haped vest portion is ewed permanently to the right front, atin and decorated with embroidered iatiste edging. The style is very beoming to ladies of generous figure, ?ho frequently complain that few of he fashion modes are adapted to hem. The graceful fullness in front .nd back is disposed over glove fitted inings that close in centre front. The ,nd is hooked over under the full dge of left. The full fronts are gath:red near the edges and aiound the .rm's eye, the lower edges being dis>osed in overlapping plaits, which, nth the pointed outline, give a very graceful contour to the waist. The jack fits smoothly across the shoullere, fullness at the lower edge being aid in overlapping plaits that are irmly tacked down below the waist ine. Underarm gores separate the ronts and back, and the neck iB finshed with a standing collar, over rhich a ribbon stock is worn tied in arge bow at centre back.

Nest to lace, ribbon is seen in quanities upon many of the newest gownB, t is such a graceful mode of decoraion and is bo very adaptable that even he uninitiated may use it with sue* iess, provided they are not skimpy rith it. A ribbon trimming, with kimp little bows, is ruinous to the oveliest gown; the making of a bow s no little art, and if one has not a eaning that way it is better to use ome other form of trimming, or have hem made by the milliner. Rosettes ire much simpler and easier to manige, and in many cases are quite as imart as the bow would be. leghorn hats. Large leghorns appear with their lsual regularity. They are caught up it the back in flutes, which are generously filled in with flowers. Roses, ilacs, clover, colored tulle, and black ?eivet are tne iavome trimming ior ;hese large hats; but bows of taffeta ribbon in light tints are also used. Tulle of two colors, puffed all around :he crown in front to almost cover the arim, is a very effective decoration on :he shade hats of rough soft straw, md white lacc combiued with tulle :nd flowers or with plumes and a :ouch of black velvet makes a very pretty trimming. PINK IN sumIEK MJLLIXETVT. Pink is the prevailing color in nuch of the summer millinery, and pink straw hats, pink roses and pink :ulle abound. Another popular color s green, in all the divers shades imiginable, and pale lime green straw :rimmed with blue or purple is one of :he picturesque effects commonly seen :his season. BIG DOWS OUT OF FASHION. The huge tulle bow, however, is of ;he past. Its popularity was limited and its downfall not difficult to foretell. Much as the material is like J, the bow is not becoming and was foredoomed. Of the 19,084,059 acres of land contained in Scotland, not quite 4,500,D00 are in a state of cultivation.

"The treaty-making power is given to the President, in.connection with the Senate, by the Constitution," writes ex-President Harrison |in his "iThis Conntryof Ours" article in the Ladies' Home Journal. "The initiative?the negotiations with foreign Governments leading up to an agreements, and the framing of the articles af the treaty?is with the Executive. The Senate his no part in the matter until the President communicates the treaty to it, and asks its concurrence. It may then, however, either concur or reject, or concur with amendment?. When the Executive has agreed with any foreign Power upon a treaty, and it haB been duly signed by the Plenipotentiaries for their respective Governments, it is sent to the Senate for its concurrence, and is considered there in secret session. Whatever may be eaid as to the wisdom or necessity of secret sessions for other purposes it is manifestly necessary that tbe terms of treaties, and the discassion of them, shonld in maDy cases be kept in the confidence of those charged with concluding them, until they are concluded. "Though all the attempts in the Constitutional convention to give the House of Representatives a part in the making of treaties failed, it is still true that many important treaty stipulations depend for their execution upon the action of the House. If a treaty stipulates for the payment of money by the United States, tbe money cannot be taken from the Treasury without an.appropriation. It may be said as treaty is a part of the 'supreme law of the land,' it is the duty of Congress to appropriate the money necessary to carry it into effect; and that in the making of the approprition the House has no right to consider the question of value or property of the treaty. But, all the same, if the appropriation is not made the treaty fails. Usually appropriations to carry rtnt. iv froaf.v have been criven freelv bV the House; but tl^ere is power to withhold them, and so to defeat tho treaty. As to treaties involving our revenue laws, the House?having by the Constitution the sole power to originate revenue bills?has claimed the right to act upon a coneideratioq of the wisdom or unwisdom of the treaty." Laid an Egg in His Hat. On Wednesday, about 5 o'clock a? m., as Anton Burgosen was going to his work at Allen's brewery, he saw a flock of wild geese flying overhead.

His vision being keen?he had not reached the brewery yet; indeed, had he, this would not be related as a fact, for Allen's beer is good?he saw something drop from the goose like a shot, straight for his hat, and fall safely therein. The something was?what i.'U ? mi arm I A r*?n.l pcrcr t Thft iiililH. VUU ??U *vw* ?n0 goose evidently saw tlie opportunity to deposit its egg in a safe place and guaged it to a hair. Burgo3en could not believe his eves, yet there was the egg, sure enough, and, save for a slight bruise at the upper^end, perfectly uninjured. The egg and Anton are now at Allen's brewery and will verify this story. It is a most astonishing thing, not heard of more than once in a lifetime.?Revelstoke (Oregon) Mail, It Beats His Time. A country boy, who was brought up in a remote region of Scotland, had occasion to accompany his father to a village near which a branch iioe of rnilrour nasses. The morning after bis arrival, when sauntering in the garden behind the house in which they were staying, he beheld with wondering eyes a train go by. For a moment he remained staring at it with astonishment, and then running into the house he said: "Fayther, fayther, come ott!

Compared with other large town?, London is easily at the head for the mognitude oi its electrical supply, says Chambers' Journal. Paris, for instance, nas oniy an equivalent 01 about 500,000 eight-candle power lamps, as compared with the 1,200,000 lamps* in London, as stated above. Manchester and Liverpool have, respectively, about 92,000 and 51,000; Glasgow, 70,000; Edinburgh, 43,000; Dublin, 10,000, and Cardiff, 9000. Of the total capitnl expended in the whole of the United Kingdom for supplying electricity London has spent mora than one-half. | TYliat It Costs to Make Bicycles. In a letter to the New York Sun the (writer says: ? While in Buffalo recently I ran \ across an employe of one of the bi- f cycle works in that city. Being per- ? socally known to him, I asked what t was the absolute cost of production of e a $100 high-grade wheel. He began S to figure it out. ' "The best way to get at it," he said, i 'is to take the highest prices paid to mechanics to produce certain parts ontil the wheel is complete and ready for the market. Taking the wages paid the men to manufacture all these parts, the absolute cost to the bosses to put upon the market a $100 highgrade wheel is 818.60. The bosses of , the shop where I work sell their wheels to retail dealers for 350." 'Now, as an employe," I asked, "what would you have to pay your employers for a*8100 wheel?" "Oh! they sell them to us for $20, but we cannot resell them unless we want to get discharged." "Don't you think a 8100 high-grade wheel can be sold for $50 with proSt to the manufacturer and still maintain the present rate of wages paid mechanics who make them?" "Certainly. What is more, saies would be increased also, and more men employed to produce them. The big end of the profits goes to the retail dealers, whereas if the manufacturers bad their own selling agents they could well afford to sell $100 wheels for $50, yes, and $40, with good profit. They pay low wages. Their rents are small, the shops being generally located in country places. As a mechanic, I know the parts of a wheel are not nearly so intricate or delicate in mechanism as those of a flowincr machine, vet I am told by brother mechanics who make sewing machines that it costs but $11.75 to produce a $60 machine for the market. To produce an $80 bicycle, we figure it out in the shop that the absolute cost of manufacture is but a trifle over $10. Of course, when as a workman on bicycles I give you the cost of their production to our bosses, I mean the cost of their manufacture by the hundreds. The making of bicycles is generally regarded by mechanics as the simplest kind of meohanical labor, with less loss to manufacturers by imperfectly constructed wheels through bad workmanship than is the case in the construction of a sewing machine I with its finer mechanism."
