A Human Mole.

Maine Paper. - ’ • The human mole is attracting attention in Brunswick, Me., this week. He is the bold man who is- to wriggle through all the eighteen-inch sewer pipe recently laid in the village street and patch up all the imperfect portions. The man will go through all the pipe to the point of discharge. It may take three or four Weeks. This pointing of the interior of this dark cavern is a weird and nervetrying place, and requites a man of experience. ‘ He has a rubber belt ind goes backward. It is dark and jlose and he carries a - little lamp or torch and a pail of mortar. An iighteen-inch pipe will just allow a imall man to wriggle. He must lie arone and keep his legs nearly itraight. Should anything happen le would be hauled out by the feet ind resuscitated. It is a job no 3runswick man hankered for.
