The Proposed Submarine Rail -
ay between between England and the
{continent.
The great engineering project of tun-
neling
u -
nel ng the English Channel is beginning
to excite on both sides of that narrow
sea a growing intereat. In a recent edi-.
torisl the London Time=s decidedly en-
c;ouragea the undertaking and remarks :
I t will not, after all, be the greatest
achievement which the present goner-
ation has seen actually accomplished."
The schemer whioh aims to connect.
Great .Britain and the Continent by a.
submarine railway, is auspiciously in-
atguratecl by two associations of capital-
ists, one British and one French, and
proposes to proceed without dependence
upon Governmental aid. The only thing
asked of Parliament is the right to pur-
chase land at St, Margaret's Bay and a
portion of the beach and foreshore about
halfway between Deal and Dover, A
similar request is, of course, to he made -
of the French Government for the pur-
chase of land on the opposite shore.
But no subsidy or money grant is so-
licited.
The scheme is certainly a magnificent they are so well done that .I can give
and placed her dressing -case: on the
ground, and turned to
assist her fellow
mkt to alight: When she' stooped to
again pick up the case it was gone, and
it has never since been seen by any one
but the thief, or the fence" to whom
he sold it. The robbery might have
been planned between the maid and :a j
confederate, but most probably the thing
was bone by a thief. who took no one
into his confidence, -
The affair reminds :me of onewhich
occurred hereseveralyears ago. .A. lady
Of title was. driving to the railway in a
cab ; on its roof was a small trunk con-
taining her dressing -case, in which were
£11,000 worth of jewels. The trunk ,
was taken from the cab as it was going
through the streets. The thief, on open --
Mg the case, was for a moment.. dazzled
by the sight of so many jewels, but he
at once suspected that they were paste,
and that his victim was in actress whom
he had robbed of her stage jewels.
He took them to `t a fence,"_ and said :
" Look at these ; they are handsome,
but I suppose they, are nothing but
paste." " Yes," said the cunning de-
ceiver, `° they are only imitations ; but
one, and, though. its . boldness is startl-
ing, its execution does hot appear so
di'icult as some of the later engineering
feats of the century. The Suez Canal,
constructed through a moving sea.. of
sand, coursing through an isthnian
waste of over a hnxdred miles, was a
work equally stupendous. The perfor-
you £150 for them." The thief took the
money with joy, but .the next '• day . he
saw a reward of £1,000 offered for the
recovery of the jewels: He was so etas-
perated at the trick that • had been
played on him, that he went at once to
the police and told them the story. The
receiver was arrested, thethe thief was
ation of Mout Cenis and its monumental admitted as a witness ag�ainst him, he
was sent to penal. servitntt.e for twenty
years, and the thief got off with his £150
and a reward besides.

While on duty. A very large number of
persons applied at the station houses for
relief, suffering with frozen bands and
feet. The crew of the ship Queen of
Hearts, and many men of other vessels
which arrivedduring the cold weather
were badly frost-bitten.
Alpine rock, as well as the great under-
taking of the submarine cable, seemed in
the initiation, giute as formidable as the
cutting of the gray chalk which stretches
ocean, and yet this fact constitutes no
difficulty of known insurmountability.
For a long true mining has been eaten-
sively carried on beneath the sea bed,
and u some instances where the latter
was attenuated to comparatively a mere
shell. In Cornwall, Cumberland and
Northuberland, coal and other strata
have be7
n worked so near the bottom of
the ocean that the beating of the billows
could be distinctly heard in the miners'
galleries It is said that one of the Cum-
berland pits extends more than four
thousand yards under the sea floor, and
the manager states that the amount of sea.
finding its way to the mine was scarcely
appreciable_
It should be borne in mind that. the
Channel tunnel would • be cut, not
through the adamantine rock, as the Al-
pine tunnel and much of the Hoosac,. but.
theiaugh a geological formation of looser
texture, and, yet sufficiently firm to bear
the superincunibent body of water.
About four hundred feet of water is the
maximum weight that would have to be
sustained, and as the tunnel would be
strongly supported and braced as rapidly
as made, the pressure from above would
be the least thing tobe feared. The
whole question seems to be one of money
and time, scarcely involving any large
demand upon engineering 'skill and in-
vention, for within_ a very short space of
time the machinery and science requisite
for such piercings have been greatly in-
creased and perfected. The extensive
researches already made by geologists.
and mining experts ' afford strong evi-
dence of the continuity of the chalk bed
along the line of the proposed railway, }
and the regularity of the stratum, if fur fl
-
ther experiment confirms it, will preclude
the supposition of any fissure likely to 1
endanger the structure. I
By employing a well -tested tunneling ,
machine, invented by Mr. Brunton, for
perforating chalk deposits, it is estimat- E
ed the Channel openiva could be finished
in two years, at a cost per mile far less ;
than that of the London Metropolitan
acid District railways, The distance be- 1
tween the points to be connected is abouti.
twenty-five miles, and the total estimat- I
ed cost -of the work, inclusive of railways i
at either end, is about tea million :'
pounds. We shall look , with great in-
terest for further tidings from the great j
enterprise.

The Journal des Coni aissances ..11edi-
eines publishes an article, by Dr. Cornil;
on certain • experiments made by Dr.
Magnan to investigate the effects of al
coholisin on the economy. The first
series comprises the administration of
brandy to dogs. The animal at first
evinces some exeitement, which gradual-
ly increases, and ends in stupefaction and
a comatose sleep, and accompanied by a MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
fall in the teuiperature of the. body, in-
sensibility, and paralysis of the hind
legs. This state is transitory ; but if
the experiment be indefinitely repeated,
a peculiar nervous sensitiveness may be
remarked at the end of a fortnight. The
subject pricks up its ears, watches, then
starts at the slightest noise, shows fear,
and experiences illusions and hallucin-
ations which assume the form of a regu-
lar cleliriuin within the space of a month,
with fits of trembling. if the brandy be
suppressed, death ensues, accompanied ; -

is a great difference between the action
of mere brandy and the liquor known as
absinthe, which is an alcoholic tincture
of Artemisia absinthium, or Wormwood;
and Dr. Maguan's experiments go far to
refute the -opinion of those who consider,
this favorite beverage to be inert except
in so far as it is alcoholic. Given in a
weak dose to a deg. a shivering is ob-
served. to take place, with muscular •
twitches and jerks in the neck, and
rapid but 1-iitiitecl . notions of the head,
-shoulders and back:. A dministered in
heavy closes, convulsive fits are the cool -
1
set ueutae, but differing materially from
paraplegia or delirium- tremens. Hallu-
cinations, moreover, appear at- the •very
first experiments, instead oftbeing near-
ly the last stage, as in the case of mere
brandy. In man, Dr. 11ag1!rau divides
intoxication by alcohol into three stages;
mania, delirium tremens, and stupor.
