PINEAPPLES.
Foundations of Groat Stool
Structures Are Built.
The foundations for the great steel
structures are built by menns of cata-
sons In which the men can work under
a great pressure of air. It Is a Very
Interesting sight to watch them, and
the best of It Is that any one may see
them at close range from an adjoining
sidewalk. The caisson Is a hollow steel
cylinder open at the bottom and just
large enough to permit a man to work.
The workman climbs down a ladder In
this tube and digs away the earth at
the bottom.
As the earth Is taken
away the steel tube Is gradually low
ered. The earth is taken out by a
bucket, wblcb is lowered and raised by
a tall derrick at one side. As the
caisson sinks, air Is pumped into the
compartment containing the man. This
Is to force back any water or dirt that
might dll the bole from the outside as
fast as the workman removes It from
within. The pressure of this air Is of
ten so great that a man can work but
an hour or so at a time. At the top
of the caisson Is a steel cylinder with
an air tight door at either end. wblcb
serves as a kind of vestibule to the
tube below.
When one of the caisson workers
starts to go to work be opens the door
or lid at the top and climbs In, when
the opening is once more tightly clos
ed. This door or lid is air tight Aft
er the opening to the outer air has
been closed the workman opens the
door at the bottom of this steel com
partment and lets In compressed air
from the caisson below. It takes a
few minutes to become accustomed to
breathing this atmosphere, for the
heavy air makes tlie head ring. As
soon as the workman can do so be
climbs down into the funnel below,
closing the lower door of the steel
anteroom as be does so. All this must
be done In the dark. If the workman
wishes to signal the outer world he
may do so by striking the steel sides
of bls narrow prison with bls shovel.
He usually signals In this way when
the bucket Is to be raised or lowered.—

NEW ZEALAND MAGIC.

A Native Story of the Power of the
Tohunga.
From New Zealand comes tbe follow- i
Ing weird yarn:
“The tobunga (native magician) was :
even credited with tbe power of In
fluencing the dead. Tbe present writer
was a witness of the following Inci
dent: A branch of tbe Ara%is, tbe I
tribe of the dKtrlct of Rotorua, being
at war, had suffered defeat, and one
of their braves had been brought home
dead. Tbe vanquished sought at once
to find out by some omen connected
with the dead chief whether they
would be successful In their next en
counter. The tohunga was requested
o procure the desired omen, tbe peo
ple squatting tn a ring about tbe bier.
Advancing a few paces from the dead
body, the priest began to recite a
powerful Incantation, intent on mak
ing the deceased give some sign, the
eyes of all present being fixed on tbe
slain warrior.
Presently tbe corpse
was observed to move slightly to one
side, on which a great cry of joy rose
from the people. Tbe movemeut was
interpreted as a sign of future victory.
This feat was often performed by the
tohunga of olden times.” — Chicago

Miserable Compensation For Their .
Grand Works of Art.
“I make more money in a day than
Michael Angelo made in a month,”
said a popular illustrator. "I’ve been
studying up tbe wages those old chaps
got. It is amazing.
“Michael Angelo was paid $40 a
month while doing tbe cartoons of tbe
battle of Pisa, and Leonardo, who
helped him, got the same rate. They
were both docked for lateness and off
days, but there was no overtime allow
ance. Correggio got for bls 'Christ In
the. Garden’ $7.25. Carracci's 'Resur
rection' only brought the painter $0.50.
Albert Durer for his pen and ink por
traits was not paid In cash. A bag of
flour, a hundred oysters, a pair of
boots—Durer would gladly do your
portrait on such a system of remunera
tion.
“Rembrandt's top notch price was
$475. He got that for bls ‘Night
Watch.’
"Velasquez worked eblefly for tbe
Spanish government. He was paid at
tbe average rate of $35 a picture.

READ THE
Th» Old Tims Notion That Matches
Are Mads In H»av»n.
Tbe polite fiction obtains that mar
riages are made In heaven. This ro
mantic viewpoint la particularly popu
lar In America, where it Is held to be
highly Improper for parents to make
any move toward securing good hus
bands for their daughters and immod
est for girls to manifest any interest
In tbe subject themselves.
The conventional theory is that the
matter is on tbe knees of tbe gods and
that In due season husbands will be
provided like manna In the wilderness
for sustenance of the faithful. Unfor
tunately this miracle does not always
come off for every woman. The supply
of manna gives out There are not
enough husbands to go around, and
these are unevenly divided. Some wo
men get three or four, while others get
none. But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share In tbe dispen
sation was their own fault because
they did not put themselves, as old
fashioned Methodists used to say, in
an attitude to receive the blessing.—

The On» Sided Humor of Spain.
Tbe Spanish peasant is the most pol
ished gentleman In the world, but the
provincial dandy Is not a pleasant per
son. He does not limit himself to ad
miring one (which might be endured).
He laughs at one. 8tnce tbe foreign
city bat is different from the 8pantsb
town bat, tbe Spanish town hat laughs
and points Its finger. Even a lady hat
will do thia. It never occurs to the 1
Spanish provincial beadgear that It Is
very funny, too—that Is, because a
Spaniard la under it, and therefore it
must be right. Yet If the foreign city *
bat laughed the resentment would be *
deep.—Louise Closser Hale In Harper's.
