Not only is the scheme big but ee is novel also. No experience di need leen drilling the rock uiay L. used. The Detroit tunnel makes an en- tire departure from methods used in previous tunnel work. The river along the w'n!er front of Detroit is abeul cnc- half mite wide and the section of the tum)el tinder the stream will be 2.622 feet long. The depth of the river vents" trent twenty to ferlyeight feet, and the Current is awiflt instead of the tunnel icing bored through rock and clay and sonny sand rraany feel Below the river bet a wide end deep trench Ls being excavated and the great steel tubes, how Leing built up in sections, will be lowered into the trench. The problems to overcome, tho difficulties arising from the intricate process of lowering and adjusting the huge sections in exactly the right position, the joining et the sections so as to be absolutely water tight, and the covering of the tubes with eone-rotc are the principal features of the undertaking. \\'teen it is completed a new chapter in tunnel building will have been written for (fling away fn the archives of the engineering world. • '}/lf1e: the tubes are adjusted to their correct position there remains much fine work for the divers to do. On Them devolves the responsibility of the joints which connote the twin tubes. Work- ing in the depths of Tho open trench with nearly eighty feet of water over them, the divers crawl under the tubes and examine carefully all bearings on the beams of the piling and insert plates where needed to produce the proper ex- cel bearings. The next operation is to bolt the huge sections together so that the joints will be absolutely water tight. The accomplishment of this means the greatest skill. The tunnel will cost *8,000,000. , Twenty million dollars' worth of rib- bons come from one French town. Thal h town 1s St. Etienne, wtitch contains about 73,000 ribbon looms. The number e,t ribb,n manufactories is about 170, y1nchrding those of the suburban dis- tricts. Within the last few years elec• iric motor power has been distributed 'snot only to Ilio largo ribbon factories of the region, but also to evey weaver who works at home. hitherto the weavers, who generally possess from two to three looms, did all the work spy hand, but now -a -days hand -made ribbons may be considered a work of The pest. The output has consequently increased and the wages are a little bet - than some years ago. One reason eater gt. Etienne Leing prominent as a ribbon mnker Ls that its water Is che- mically ically pure and excellent for dyeing purposes, producing to perfection tho delicate torts. The second reason is that the weavers are artists in their trade.

The results which are expected from the work that Ls now being done on a comparatively large amount of radium salt at Vienna are being awaited with very greet in- terest. It will be remembered Ihnt nmong other claims, Sir William Ramsay be- lieves that he has succeeded in degrad- ing the copper in a solution of copper sulphate into the first member of Its group, lithium, end also into sodium by subjecting it to the Influence of ra- dium emanation. The question of atonic disintegra- tion is receiving greater attention year by year, end the results obtained from a mass of laborious research are of very great theoretical Importance. A number of workers even urge that such well-established doctrines as the inde- structob!lity of matter and of energy should be definitely abandoned. BACTERIOLOGY.

TWO 71U:ES IN .CA1.11.OR\Itt TIIF l'AIiENIS 01' \111-1.10NS. India is the Home of the Orange — •1 he True Are Beurart.ably Fruitful. At U,e entrance to the tamed Mag- nolia Avenue at Riverside, Cultfortuu, aro to be seen two orange trees. Above cif Trees these are honored, as the pros- perity el a censelerubie portion of Cali• fcrnia is largely due to these parent trees. From those two marvellous trees were produced directly or ind.rectty the whole of the orange trees in !Bher- e:de, trees which cover some thirty acres of groves; in fact, the whole . 1 the Los Angeles district sends away by rail each year 330,000 tons of or- anges and lemons. These oranges are thu famous seedless oranges, known the world over. Riverside owes its existence to or- anges. Not much mere than a genera - tem ago this town was simply the haunt el cattle, and even as a grazing ground it was poor owing to the ab- sence of water. A number of progres- sive men came along and thought that the place could produce oranges. They commenced digging irrigation cnnnls and planting orange seedlings, but their venture was a complete failure. At this time, when things were at their blackest, one of the planters re- ceived a couple of orange trees which had been imported from Brazil. Thee trees grew and multiplied to a marvel- lous extent. They were without pips and of excellent size and quality. Buds were taken from these trees and grafted on the stock of erdinary orange trees grown from seedlings, so that in a short time there were a number of trees at Riverside which produced the seedless orange. FIRES TO KEEP TiHE FRUIT WARM. The culture has achieved the peeper - liens of an exact science- Water chan- nels lined with cement are to be found ail over the groves, which are irrigaj- e.l at staled periods the whole year round. To such a degree is the culture curried that the growers even go so lar as to provide warm fires to keep the groves at a good temperature when the surrounding districts are at freez- ing point. Tho fruit Is picked during the win- ter months mainly by Japanese. The produce Is taken to the packing house, where the oranges aro cleaned. separ- ated into various classes, covered with tissue -paper wrappers by means cif ranr•ellous machinery, and packed into cases. The' Los Angeles neighborhood de- spatches 200 truck loads of oranges daily throughout the picking season. Orange trees are remnrkably fruit- ful. in fact, a tree 20 feet high, occu- pying n spnce of little more Ihnn 12 feet in diameter, may yield from 3,0(10 to 4.000 oranges in n year. There is one tree In Florida which has freluent- !y yielde;l 10,000 oranges in a single season. The tree lives to an age of 100 to 130 yenrs, and the young are less productive than the old. India is the borne of the orange, and thence it spread into Western Asia and Europe. it grows in all parts where the climate is warm enough. thriving lest in subtropical climates. The great orange -growing districts of the world, however, appear to be Florida, Louisi- ana and California. . AUSTRALIA'S LOST OPPORTUNITY. It is grown to great perfection in Queensland and South West Australia, but for seine reason or other it is not cultivated there on a cc.tnmcrcial scale torr competition in the markets of the world, and, of course, it Is extensively grown in the South of Europe, the the Jullaniacae, which was determined most common of alt oranges being the by Mr. Hensley, of the Kew Herbarium.
