Queer Civil
War Tunnel
XCAVATIOXS for a sewer
In Macon, Xlo., recently
led .to a curious discovery.
A gang of laborers was
at work in the rear of the
Hotel Miller. When about
five feet down one of them
sunk his shovel in the
earth and it went out of
sight. The laborer would
have followed his imple
ment had a comrade not
caught him.
An investigation showed
they had tapped a 7-foot tunnel, extend
ing northwest and southeast. Going
northwest a few hundred feet the under
ground passage terminated in a large
room, roofed with heavy timbers. This
had evidently been the entrance from
above, for there was a man-hole cut
through the timbers. Boards had been
laid across this and covered with earth
to secrete the entrance.
The tunnel extended to the limits of
the city in the southwest. It was care
fully boarded on the sides and roofed
With railroad ties. A tall man could
pass through without stooping. The en
tire distance was about a' mile. The
tunnel was finished from end to end in
a substantial and workmanlike manner
and the wooden roof was in a fair state
of preservation.
Although no one was aware of the ex
istence of this queer subterranean ave
nue. it is known that the entrance is
about the center of the old Harris prison
stockade, and it is conjectured that it
owes its existence to military expediency.

The first attempt to raise

only fact established was that at the
bottom of the harbor of Vigo were the
wrecks of eleven ships and that on one

When the young canaries are thirteen
days old, they can feed themselves, and
when they are a month old, they can
be taken away from their parents alto
gether. It is not necessary to keep them
in separate cages. In fact, they will
grow faster and stronger in groups of
ten or twelve in, for example, a thirty-
inch cage, than a smaller cage, and with
less numbers. It is not easy always to
tell the sex of the young birds. That is
a knowledge that comes with a practice
and clos e observation. Th e chief points
from which to judge are shape, style,
carriage of the head, action and voice.
The head of the female Is broader than
that of the male, and flatter on top,
and the colors around the beak and eyes
are deepetr. When you are doubtful about
your young birds, put one of the older
ones that you know to be a male in a
ca'ge by himself, and watch him closely.
His manner is bold, his chirp clear and
loud, his actions quick and full of de
cision. Then put a hen by herself and
watch her. ghe will hop back and forth

birds of which you are doubtful, you

Merrill's Horse was in no position to

is thought that the ancient tunnel just

formed and offered the Spanish govern
ment a larger percentage of the treasure

SILVER INGOTS FOUND.
The Spanish government did so con-
true it, whereupon the French compa
ny tried to engage Cowan's services, but
he declined their terms. They went ahead
without him and succeeded in getting
from one of the galleons several silver
ingots. The silver, on analysis in Paris,
was estimated to be worth about $31,164
a ton.
Then the Franco-Gerrrtan. war broke
