AN ENIGMA FOR POSTERITY.
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. Youth's Companion.

PERSONAL MENTION 4.
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

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

boot clean of tho smallest fragment of

a member of our Order since 1867,

vice as an Odd Fellow, as well as by
his honored career as a fellow citi

Resolved that the Charter of this

the death of Brother Grandy. And be
it further
Resolved that an expression of the
profound sympathy of this lodge be
conveyed to the bereaved wife and
family, who have been deprived by his
death of a devoted husband and

perpetuity of our regard, we recom
mend that a copy of this memorial bo
spread upon the minutes and that ad
ditional copies thereof be sent to the
La Grande Evening Obssrver and the
