Bout With a Broncho.
A professional bronoho rider came
to town last week. He registered at
the livery stable as Texas Slim, and
gave it out that he was broke and
would ride anything in the barn for a
dollar. Then a red-eyed broncho was
led out and shown to Slim. Fe was
told that it was particular business
riding that horse, and that very few
people got back the same day they
were thrown off. But this didn't faze
Slim, of Texas, who jumped on bare
bacfc, witn notmug dui toe rope ena
of a halter to hold on to as down the
street -the two went. The Qreal
Northern passenger train slid by the
ooal shed and cut them off from crossing
the railroad track, and here the
bronobo oommenced to perform. He
humped himself like a bicycle rider
and then straightened out like a matoh.
Jim was still there.
Then the broncho jumped into the
air about ten feet, tarned before he
came down, and Btrack the road stiffer
than a crowbar.
Here James got off. He didn't intend
to, bnt the part of the broncho
he was holding on to seemed to leave
him, and he went under.
The broncho then commenced to get
on top, but he didn't 6tay there long.
Slim got up and was on his bronchoship
c.gain so quick that the horse was

Then he tried to ran away from hi6

four children could ride him at once,
and Jim took his dollar and bought

Ncty Bed for a Rirer.
There is immediate danger of a
repetition of the heartrending Mansfield
Mine disaster, in which twentyseven
men lost their lives at the Hemlock
mine. The mine extends under
the Hemlock River with a shaft on
either side. Water from the river is
working through the sandstone into
the mine, and the danger will have to
be remedied at onoe or the valuable
property abandoned. It i6 now proposed
not to attempt to divert the
channel of the river as was done at
Mansfield mine recently, but to lift
the Hemlock River from its native bed
and let it rnn through an immense
wooden sluiceway. This sluice will
extend over the ground under which
the mine tunnel run9, and will thus
relieve the river bed of its water and
the mine of any danger from the river.
A dam will be built some distance up
the river, and this will enable the work
to go on this winter and also chain the
water so that it can be run into its
artificial channel next spring.
The sluiceway will be 1500 feel; long
and will reBt on two immense airohes,
whose foundations will ba in the bed
of the river. The arches will be wide
apart at the base, and will not tlu eaten
the mine tunnel in the least. After
the sluice is built the dam will be
opened, and the water will be run into
the new elevated bed. worKin tne
mine tunnel under tbe river will continue,
and it is expected that the
miners will gradually pick their way
toward the old river bed, and in time
the bed will cave in and a rich find of
ore is then expected.?Detroit Free

Eggs Forty Years Old.
Dr. C. D. McCoy, of Kenton, Ohio,
is exhibiting an egg which he says is
forty years of age. It weighs 281
grains, while a sound one weighB 1000

Tunnel to Connect Sicily and Italj. ^
A tunnel between the mainland of ,
Italy and the Island of Sicily iB now ;
being actively projected. Plans and
a model complete in every detail were
executed by the Italian civil engineer, ?
De Johanms, and are now on exhibi- rr
tion at the University of Padua. The if
principle employed by him is that of
boring in parabolic spiral lines. After
thorough and careful studies of the
Strait of Messina, its varying depths, I
the nature o."\the ground and all other J
conditions w. ich might assist or in- m
terfere with the success of the enter- H
prise, De Johannis decided to begin fir
his tunnel near San Giovanni di Sanitello,
at tho foot of the Aspromonte Ac
mountain range, while the mouth on
the other side will be located on the
plain "degli Inglesi." The entire g
tunnel will be nearly two miles long E
and will connist of two Bhafts of about E
10,000 feet each, descending at a grade W
not exceeding thirty-two feet in each |j
1000. Snch a tunnel would be much m
preferable to a bridge, which would
have to have a span of 4500 feet, and in?'
with the enormous strength ol the
winds in the strait such an attempt A
appears to bo exceedingly dangerous.
This tunnel will cost about ?350,000,000,
but the money has not yet been chu
