Plans of the English Chennel Com -
pony Rapidly Crystalizing.
The channel tunnel scheme is now
rapidly approaching the stage ol
practical discussion, owls the London °
Chronicle, In a few weeks we may.
expect to bear its merits and demerits
ealioed from the great sounding beard"
of the House of Cornrows.
A hill was y.esterday deposited in
Parliament to Incorporate the "Chan-
nel Tunnel Co," POWOT5 are sought to
execute ouch works up to the three-
naile limit, and it is proposed that a
new company shall hereafter be regis-
tered for the purpoee of carrying out
the entire project. The bill empowers
the Southeastern and Chatham Bail -
way Companies to avail themselves of
the authority given by Parliarpent in
• 1874 for the application of their capi-
tal towards the cost of the Works, and
also to take shares in the capital of
the company created.
It is estimated that the scheme will
involve a total outlay of £1.6,0.00,000.
Half of that amount is to be ranied in
this; country, and the remainder is
promised in France as soon as the
•siciaeme shall have received parliamen-
tary.sanction in England, • -
A limited liability coMpany, to be
registered in London, with a capitol
of £8,060,000, will 'Subscribe and con-
sequently hold all the securities of
the statutory company and provide
the balance of funds necessary to
carry the tunnel from the three-raile
limit to midchannel, where it will con-
nect with the French portion of the
undertaking.. Two parallel tunnels will
be constructed, the total length of the
same under the sea being 24 miles,
and, with the land approaches on
either side, 30 miles. Calculations (it
is claimed by the promoters) show
that in the first year after the opening
of the railway -the' "Caldover Tube,"
as it has already been named -1,300,-
000 passengers will be conveyed •
through the tunnels, and the gross re-
ceipts from all sources of traffic in
the same period are put at $1f540,000.
The tunnels, each 18 feet in internal
diameter, will be driven from Dover to
Sand gate throughout the whole• dis-
tance in the gray Rouen chalk, which,

BEES IN WARFARE. •
Two Instances "(:* Insecta

History •• !rewrite two instances in
which bees have been used in warfare

The first is related by s'sppian• of the
siege !of .Themiseyra, in Pontus, by lai-
culins . in his war against .Mithridatet.

Danes and Norwegians attacked Ches-

and eorae Gallic auxillerieS. The Danes
were 'Worsted by a stratagem. but the
Norwegians. sheltered by hurdles, tried
to pierce the walls of the town ' when
"what the Saxons and the Gieldhil
who Were among' them did was to
throw down large rocks,. by which 'they
broke down the hurdles over, their

this was to place large posts tinder the
hurdles.

which the Lectilaus applied to this was'
to place hides outside on the bindles,
' What the Saxons did . next • vas • to

The Corpse -eihrtat.
The corpse plant is a remarkable
carnivorous specimen that grows in
the colony of Natal. Its principal
feature is a bell shaped mouth, with
a throat opening into a hollow stein.
It is almost black and covered witli
a thick, glutinous secretion, while its
odor is very offensive. This attracts
carrion feeding. birds to it, and onCe
they alight on it they are lost. Their
claws become entangled in the secre-
tion, the bell shaped mouth folds up,
and they are literally Swallowed.
Costliest of All Filth)
The fish was no bigger than a silver
dollar. Its color was bright gold, and
It had a beautiful bushy golden tall.
"That," said the pet stock dealer, "Is
the finest aquarium fish. in the world,
a Chinese brush tailed goldfish. It ie
handsome. healthy and long lived. A
good brush taled goldfish," he conclud-
ed, "costs .$250 or $300, and some dine"
Specimens have sold for as much as
$700 apiece."

Mr. Alfred Austia, the Poet, Laura -

"Christmas Bells," to The Manohester
Daily Dispatch, from which the fel-
lowing stanzas are taken:
The envious nations and their rulers

Armed watch upon each other all

They prate of friendship, lulling fear

With treacheroas smile.

THE BRITISH SQUARE.
Probably Its Greatest Test and Tri-
umph:Are Found In Waterloo.
So many of our great battles have
been' fought and won with the troops
formed into square that the British
square has beconie a famous phrase
in the history of war.' Such a feigns, -
tion is almost obsolete nowadays, so
much hav.e roodirn rifles•and artillery,
cfionged the whole face of military
tactic. In the days when, it was used
it wee employed mainly in pitched
battles where it was a question of re-
sisting the charges of an eneniy* on
an. open plain, and presenting it solid
froxit in Whatever direction he attack-
ed. In certain eircunaitances it could
still be employed against savages.
It was a British square, for exam-
ple, that •finally, broke the • power of
the Zulus tinder their King Cetewayo. ,
Our troops learned some lessons in •
savage warfare from that dusky 'mon-
arch, eapecially when the ill-fated 24th
,regirnent were caught unawares by
overwhelming hordes of saveges at Is-
andula and practically "wiped out."
But whenat last a little 'British array

Founder of Modern Surgery'. ..
Unquestionably first among Xing
Edward's medical attendants stands
the venerable and distinguished figure
of Lord Lister. the founder of mo-
dern surgery. He holds the quaintly -
named .office of Serjeant-Surgeon in
Ordinary to his Majesty, and was rip,
pointed by the Xing t� be one of the
original members of the Order of
Merit. Lord Lieter, says M. A. Ps, hat

always modestly ascribed the dory of
his discovery of antiseptic surgery to
Pasteur, whose researches on fermeh-
tation suggested to him the idea of
sterilizing wounds. Lister's elevation

Wire,less Electric Light.
Before an audience of sortie of the
best known scientifie men. of the day,
Mr. Vaidemar Poulsen the other night
at the. Queen's Hail, London, demon-
strated some of the- wonders -'of his
new system .of ethereal electricity, to.
Sir William Preece, the chairman, de-
scribed it: '
Sir William said that the lecturer's.
discovery, sounded the death knell of'
the 'old 'spark" telegraph and Mr.
Poulsen in his papet explained that
-h* fprm of eleetrieity was capable of
\ no. fewer than • a million 'Vibrations
per second, thus giving a -practiCally
continuous. wave of energy. The
"spark" form of electricity might be
likened to a series of explosions, and.
the Poulten system to a continuously
vibrating tuning -fork.
Some wonderful demonstrations, il-
lustrating the capabilities Of the new
electricity, were given. A set of six,
electric incandescent lamps were light -
' ed wirelessly by its energy, a lamp
' was lit through Mr. Poulsen's body,
copper wire was melted in mid-air,
but thernost beautiful sight of all was°
the swinging copper wire fixed to the
top of an induction coil, which, in
the darkened hall, seemed like a wav-
ing scimitar of violet flame when the
ethereal energy was applied to it.
In addition .to its advaniagee in
