quickness of mind, to be a very gem in the

the wise parent must not only see, but take
pains to uproot. Indolence, untruthfulness,

Hungary's Great Tunnel.
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.
