Th Secret Dynamite Chamber of the Catskill Aqueduct The CalHkUl aqueduct system Is re markable as an engineering feat. One of the most curious expedients that the engineers contrived was the cham ber for storing dynamite. Tbey had to bave a large supply of explosive at hand, yet the luw sternly prohibited any such accumulation within the city limits of New York, where it might endanger life or property. Finally In tbe dip between the One Hundred aud TentU street nd tbe One nundred and Twenty-second street shafts. 450 feet below tbe surface, a chamber was blasted out of the solid rock. You entered this chamber from the tunnel by a door that was always left swinging half open and then fol lowed a zigzag passage that turned more than once at right angles. From that passage yon siepped Into a huge vaulted cavern. A single electric bulb was suspend ed over the threshold. A. capacious Iron bound chest, not unlike a sar cophagus, contained the dynamite. There was nothing else in the silent and gloomy chamber. If the dyna mite had at any time exploded the Immense volume of released gas would have rushed first ugnlnst tbo unyield ing walls of rock and then, seeking an outlet. It would bave broken with diminishing force against those of tbe zigzag passage. So carefully had the engineers calcu lated tbo force of the explosion tbat they believed that what remained of It on reaching the tunnel entrance would automatically close the half open door. No explosion took place to test the theory, and experimental proof would have cost the city $0,000 worth of dynamite. - The passage from the tunnel has been closed with solid concrete, but the hugo cavern is still there, bidden deep in the rock on which the great city is built Slowly, very slowly, it will 1111 up with a silent, motionless, pool of water,' never lo reflect tl)o faintest gleam of light In time, no doubt, the existeuco of tbe cavern will be forgotten. A thousand or twoi years hence It may be rediscovered. Clearly It will be seen to be tho work of ninn, but as to its purpose scieutlUe brains may puzzle themselves fruit lessly, for that will have become a secret hold inviolate by (lie uuspeak Ing rock.

An Example of Turkish. 'i. Everybody who has tackled German knows the strain of waiting for tho verb at the end of tho sentence which will explain what it is all about. Turk, ish goes several worse than that, giv ing the, words In almost exactly re verse order to our own. ' Sir Charles Eliot cites as n typical Turkish sen tence. "Capital and Varna between running Lloyd of compauy of Vulcan steamer on Slambonl to coming nro we." Read that backward and its meaning becomes clear. Obviously such a language should avoid long sen tences. Popular Turkish docs, but Turkish writers Indulge in mighty nuzos that should be quite congenial to Oermau professors. London Chron icle. SHOEBLACKS IN GREECE. They Shine a ArtiaU In One of the National Recreation. Boot cleaning, one of tae milder recreations that Salonlfcl otters, ranks among the national industries of Greece. To sit drinking little cups of Turkish coffee and having his boots cleaned at the same time is the Greek's ideal of a pleasant afternoon. The bis tros, as Greek Bhoeblacks are music ally called, though UHiially of lender ago. Is a true artist and is by no means content with the dull burnish that saf eties tbo English hoot boy. He first meticulously scrues your boot clean of tho smallest fragment of I mud, then wipes it carefully so as to ' have a perfectly clean background to I work on. After that he applies the : blacking, not by dabbiug the blacking j brush into the tin. but with a variety 1 uf little metal implements and sponges j When he has brushed this to bright I polish you Imagine that your shine Is j over, but It has really only begun, for I tho lustros now goes on to brlug out tho high lights by smearing your boot over with a colorless cream which ho brushes agnlu to great brilliance ami finishes oft by two or three minutes' fiictlou with a velvet cloth, llo com pletes his work by painting the edgoof, sole and heel with a sort of varnish.
