To LIGHT A DARK RooM.-The London
Builder recommends plan for lighting a
dark room in which the darkness is caused
by its being situated on g narrow street or
lane. The Builder says if the glass of a
window in such a room is placed several
inches within the outer face of the wall,
as is the general custom in building
houses, it will admit very little light, that
which it gets being only the reflection from
the walls of the opposite houses. If, how
ever, for the window be substituted an
other in which all the panes of glass are
roughly ground on the outside, and flush
with the outer wall, the light from the
whole of the visible sky and from the re-
hottest parts Of the opposite wall will be
introduced into the apartment, reflected
from the innumerable faces or facets
which the rough grinding of glass has pro-
duced. The whole window will appear as
if the sky were beyond it, and from every
point Of this luminous surface light Will
radate into all parts Of the room.

A BIG BRlDGE-Mr. Lowell, says the
World, in his charming poem of" Sir Laun-
fall" tells Of an organiSt who built ga
bridge from dreamland for his lay" and
Tom Hood constructed the bridge OF
Sighs," but neither Of these poets, nor, 50
far as We are aware, has any of human
kind, produced SO Stupendous conception
as q writer in q recent number Of the CIR
c,,lor. This writer proposes railroad to
Europe. His route is not by way OF Beh-
rings Straits, but straight across the At
lantic ocean. His plan is 50 Ingenious that
it is but Just that the description OF 1t
should be given i'll his own words, to wit
ga railroad from America to Europe
across the Atlantic ocean How can II be
made ? Answer. By removing the unne-
cessary rocks and mountains OF the CONT
nents TO q surveyed, definite locality. The
combined navcs Of the world, or at least
such as would otherwise he employed as
bclligerents, could convey materials for
the road to the proper destination.
| need not be asked for the full details of
the plan, for those belong to the engineer,
who in this time finds ways to accomplish
seeming impossibiliticS. He will show YOU
y
form his track foundation. Suppose it TO
be, when completed, one mile in width at
the surface OF the water, and drawn into
half mile in width at 200 feet high. Suf
iiciently numerous openings should be left
to be spauncd by suspension bridges, to
allow the North and South commerce of
the ocean to go on uIobstructed. Then the
half width Of the surface grade would
be sufficient for any desired amount of rail
or other road tracks, and for telegraph
lines, leaving a margin for houses, gardens,
&c. A river oflresh water should be carried
along nearly or quite the whole length of
this road-bed, being conveyed from both
ends, and emptying itself into the ocean
midway. OF course it would be impera-
tive to take water from some higher local
ity-perhaps from the highest sources on
the earth-and conduct it properly in its
course"
