CanlVeina that Hove Heea Fo'l iwe 1 Ua. i er the Ocean A Malty lluainet. Iu various parts of Great Britain coal pita cxtcud for a considerable dlstanco under the sea. The most remarkable of these subiuarlne inlnes Is at White haven. For no less than four miles under the Irish Sea and at a depth of about one hundred fathoms, a great tunnel has been hewn out Hundreds of miners work day and night In tho pitch black "galleries" with a world of water high above their heads. It Is a remarkable fact that long before gas was used as an lllumluaut the then manager of this submarine mine which already In those days stretched for a quarter of a mile under the sea proposed to the authorities at White haven to lay pipes from the town to the pit In order to light the streets by means of the natural gas which the mine produced. Whitehaven's thriving neighbor, Workington, also possessed an under sea mine, but one day tho enormous pressure of water broke In tho roof. Thirty-six miners were drowned, and the colliery was destroyed. The coast of Sunderland Is burrowed with mines bo huge that they are llko MlTCMVln UN lilt H T1IK HUM! KA. veritable cities under the ocean. Tho most famous of them Is the Monk Wearmouth Collcry, the principal seam of which lies at the enormous depth of 1,710 feet below the German Ocean. One hundred thousand pounds were spent In lludlng that seam. At a depth of 330 feet water poured Into the work ings nt the rate of 3,000 gallons per minute, and a 200-horse power pump ing engine had to bo fixed up. Tho ocean Is also undermined off Ryhopo and Seaham. The Earl of Kincardine owned a won derful coal pit at Borrowstoncs. It is about this mine Hint n famous geolo gist, after a first visit, writes us fol lows: "While the pitmen, by the dismal shine of their lamps, make the deep caverns resound with the blows of their pickaxes, ships driven by a fair wind snll over their heads, and the sail ors, rejoicing nt tho beautiful weather, express their Joy In song. IIOTAl.I.ACK (OPPK.II MINK. "But nt another time n storm arises; the horizon Is In Humes, tho thunder roars, the sen rages, the boldest trem ble; then the pitmen, unconscious of the terrible scene, calmly pursue their labors and think with pleasure of their homes, while the ship above Is shatter ed to pieces and sinks." A well-known geologist told a repre sentative of the Dally Mall the follow ing amusing story: "I was ono of i little party who spent a most Interest ing, if rather thrilling, day in the cop per .mine off promontory of Botallack, near Capo Cornwall. Tho workings go down to n tjepth of l.BOO feet below the, sea level, and extend 2,248 feet under the Atlantic Ocean. "During our BUhmarlno peregrina tions I noticed what looked like a plug in the low roof, and was Investigating Its character, when n mine official nished up and excitedly exclaimed, 'Don't pull out that peg; you'll let in the Atlantic!' Need I add that I left the plug carefully alone?" Only a crust of the sen floor was be tween the miners of Botallack and tho raging waves above. The water oozed through the celling. When n storm pre vailed the sounds that filled tho pit were terrifying. The boulders In tho bottom of the sea overhead rolled with a nolso llko thunder; whllo the cease less grinding of tho pebbles and the crash of tho waves brought home to tho miners in a way that no 0110 else ever experienced the full terrors of a storm at sea. "Mora than once," says an official who worked In the mine, "we retreated In affright, doubting the protection of our working shield." Botallack la now closed, though the mlno exists for those daring enough to explore it bet Off Cheaply. It Is said that Gladstone one day said to the witty Father Henley: "When I was In Italy tho other day I saw a no tice In one of your churches to the ef fect that a plenary Indulgence could be had for a sum of about 30 shillings. How do you explain that?" "If," answered the father, "ray church were prepared to give you a plenary Indulgence for all the sins you have been guilty of for SO shillings I think you would be let off uncommonly cheap." Publio Kipendlturea la Mexico. The Mexican army of more than 25,000 men is supported upon a trifle more than 1,000,000 Mexican dollars a month. The Mexican congress does not cost $1,000,000 a year.
