From the New York Press. “Do you meet tattooed men in your prac- tice often?” a physician was asked. “Frequent: he replied. “Only the other day a man who was remarkably decorated came to me to be treated. His right arm was encircled by a serpent in red, the head on his wrist and the tail on his shoulder; on the left arm was a crocodile, also in red, and surmounted by patches of diamond shape and in three colors. On his breast were three figures executing a dance. The work itself was well done and the colors bright. He said it was done on the coast of Africa and attended by great ceremonies, and he had become a great man in the tribe. But such elaborate tattooing one seldom meets, and then only on sailors, Small designs are common.” “Ned” Thomas, who claims to be the old- est tattooer in the clty, said: “I learned on board of a man-of-war and began business in this city at 8) Oak street in 1847, and have been at it ever since. I find plenty of people who want to be tattooed. Not a great many sailors come to me, but lots of other people. I use simple designs. I have tattooed several men and women all over. I remember two of the women were for Robinson's circus. Masonic emblems are popular; -next come flags and shields. An Irishman will want, probabiy, a harp, or, perhaps, an anchor. An Englishman, a ship, or, maybe, a crown. A butcher may want a pig’s head or a chicken, and a baker, sometimes a flour barrel or a loaf of bread. The goddess of liberty, sitting on an eagle’s back and holding in her hands the national shieid and the ilag, is quite the rage. “T charge by the piece,” said Mr. Thomas. “For an anchor, eagle or crown, 25 cents; for a heart with the hands clasped across it, from 75 cents to “$1.25, according to the amount of fine work required; for the god- dess of liberty, $2.50 to $3; for the two women I tatiooed for Robinson I got $125 from each.” —— e+ Intemperate Monkeys. From Chambers’ Journal. It was stated that the death of Sally, the chimpanzee,was hastened by drink. Wheth- er this be true or not, her partiality for al- coholic beverages was well known; and no secret was made of the fact that she was Gaily indulged with a pint of beer. This predilection for intoxicants constitutes an- other feature of resemblance between men and monkeys. Mr. Muddock, the well- known writer of books of travel, mentions that he has known several simians who were all habitual drunkards, and that his own monkey, Babe, drank itself into de- iirium tremens.

Captain and Thirteen Men of Athena Lost. During a hea gale Sunday morning, 319 miles off Cape May, N. J., the German ship Athena, Capt. Haak, which left New York December 10, for London, with a cargo of naphtha, took fire, and, while the crew were being transferred to the British steamship Tafra, from Marbella, for Phila- the delphia, the oil exploded, blowing the Athena out of the water. The captain and thirteen of the crew were either killed by the explosion or drowned. The first and second mates and four of the crew had been transferred to the Tefna before the explosion took place and were saved. The disaster took place in longitude 36:46 north, and latitude 68:50 west. When the Tafna left the place the wreckage from the ship was drifting southeast. eee Retirement of Clerks. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Several bills have been offered to provide for retiring department clerks. Their ap- pearance, with warm backing, and yet cool, conservative argument from wise heads, is striking enough, indeed. ; The bills are part of a movement wholly proper and such as could only have been expected. I know men in the departments who have borne the heat and burden of the day for over thirty years. Many of them came from the most promising paths of literature and learning. They did not -fore- see the dropping into the long rut and the utter impossibility of breaking the chains of long habit. They settled down to the one thing and have unlearned most of what they knew that is not required at the government a Had they not given themselves to these clerkships, many of them would now, in a green old age, have been covered with honors, professional and scientific, in the noblest walks of life. The time is past when the popular idea of a government department clerkship that it is a sinecure, where ease and laziness barely get up energy énough to sign the pay roll, can hold water. It is a delusion only cherished now by a few provincials. But will it be commensurate with the merits of the questton or the dignity of a government such as ours, to begin with the gingerly provision for retirement of clerks only after thirty years’ service, and that only by tak- ing up a contribution from the clerks? Must the government “pass the hat?” Our Nation (I spell it with a big “N” since the President's message on the Venezuelan question) is yet in its infancy. It is the quiescent giant which fs to get up and shake itself ere long. The trumpet blast is in the air. Will the Nation, so liberal with its recognition of military service by the abundant provision for pensiong, descend to 2 peseeonions policy with its civil serv- nts? A strong and liberal provision for retir- ing the clerks of the executive departments at Washington is the legitimate sequence in the very theory of civil service. Doubtless the civil service commission will warmly indorse a liberal measure, and will commend it earnestly to the President. Mr. Cleveland himself will be found the very strongest supporter of a comprehensive and abundant provision. There ovght to be provision for retiring the department clerks: First. Optional retirement after seventeen years’ continuous service, if the clerk is totally disabled for the performance of manual labor by lameness of legs or arms, or by incurable disease of eyes or heart; age not under fifty years. Second. At expiration of twenty years’ service for ex-Union soldiers, at their option, now pensioned at third grade, who will sur- render their pension certificate and relin- quish claim for artificial limbs, ete. Third. At expiration of thirty years, com- pulsory retirement, whether apparently dis- abled or not, if seventy years old. The rate of pay in each case should be 75 per cent of the highest pay the clerk has for a period of one year drawn. Surely this great government can do this! Whether it is best to “provide a fund” with which to do this I will not assume to say. But I cannot see that because a few out of the large number of clerks happen to be so thriving with their money and can make such a handsome per cent out of it they should oppose a small deduction for this fund. It is fair enough in some re- spects, though I hardly believe the govern- ment will descend to it. CONSERVATIVE. ee The Hudson River Tunnel. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your readers may be interested with an account of the big submarine tunnel for the Hudson river. One of the biggest enter- prises of the times is soon to be started in New York. The Hudson is to get a tunnel at last, end one which will give tunnel de- velopment rapid progress. Heretofore engineers have tried to build cheap submarine railway tunnels, but as nothing very cheap is very good, we have changed the entire mode of construction, so that we have a tunnel costing more than the old one, but which is a valuable struc- ture and in every way a complete success. We have neither low tunnel nor high bridge, but a bold compromise between the two. We first put in position massive hollow caissons, and into these we put our oiled meal cylinders, doing work from surface of wat Each cylinder carries a single track railway, this being best both on ac- count of collision and ventilation. One valuable feature of these massive cylinders is that they give a tunnel of great elevaiion, making better connection with the fixed city grades. These protected metal pipes, or large cy inders, will in places be carried across por- tions of the Hudson on artificial beds. For this purpose we use thousands ef tons of massive rock over a broad area. The whole matter is a question of a fair amount of money, it being sound wisdom to get enough money to firmly hed these mas- sive oiled protected cylinders rather than continue to follow former methods of sub- marine tunnel by advancing the work in from shore er These often carry tunnel through a long distance of soil unable fo carry weight of tunnel. Submarine tunnel development is yet in its infancy, and this new departure is of such far-reaching value that we here give a brief account of the application of this newly discovered principle to this great New York enterprise. I have been in New York for many months looking after this great work, and after a brief visit to West Virginia, 1 shall return to the big town to solve the problem for rapid transit between Manhattan Island and the mainland. This submarine tunnel will $13,000,000, but when completed it will be the most massive work in the world except the Egyptian pyramids. We estimate that it will take abcut three and a half years to link the fSland to the main land. ALEXANDER 8S.
