These figures are not, of course, ,-,ry comprehensive. They simply convey the idea of vastness of area and equal vastness of importance.

The child of generous parents will often display a strange selfishness, which the wise parent must not only see, but take pains to uproot.

An engineerine work that has taken over a century to construct can hardly fail to offer some pointe of interest in ite history, and illustrate the march of events durmg the years of its progress. An instance of this kind is to be found in a tunnel not long completed, but which was commenced over one hundred years ago. This turinnel or adit, as it fihould be more strictly termed, is at Schee:mite, in Hungary. It; construc- tion was agreed upon in 1782, the object being to carry off the water frorn the Soheumitz mines to the lower part of the Gran valley. The work is now complete, and it forme the longest tunnel in the world, being 10.27 miles long, or about one mile longer than St. Gothard, and two and a half miles longer than 1Viount Cenis. The heig'et is nine feet ten inches, and the breadth live feet three inehes, This tunnel, which has taken so long in making', has cost very near a million sterling, but it appears to have been well epent-at least the present gener- ation has no reason to gromble, for the sav- ing front being able to do away with water- raisnag;appliances amounts to L15,000 a yet. r. There le one further point, however, worth notice, for if we have the advantage of our great,grandfathers in the matter of mechani- cal appliances they were certainly better off in the price of labour. The original (3:en- trant for the tunnel, mede in 1782, was that it shoulkbe completed. in thirty years and should cost L7 per yard run. For eleVen yeare the work was done at this price, but the Fret& revolution enhanced the cost of labout and materials to such. au extent that for thirty' yeate little progress was made. For ten years following much progress was made, and then the work :hopped for twenty years More, until the water threaten- ed to drown the mime! alto.gether. Finally tho tunnel was completed in 1878- the re- maining part coating £21 yard, ot more than three times as much as the original ecfntract rate. • Belgium Spain Yortagal ROWEallla and cream.
