NODE OF PREPARATION. = Buohu, in
yacuo. Juniper berries, by distilIation, to
form fine gin. Cubebs extracted by dis
placement with spirits obtained from
Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and small proportion of spirit. 1t is
more palatable than any now in use.
Buchu as prepared by Druggists, is of
dark color. It is plant that emits it's
fragrance; the action of a flame destroys
this tits active principle,) leaving dark
and glutinous decoction. Mine is the
color of ingredients. The Buchu in my
preparation predominates The smallest
quantity of the other ingredients are added
to prevent fermentation; upon inspection
it will be found not to be Tincture, as
made in Pharmacopaa, nor is it Syrup
and therefore can be used in cases where
fever and inflammation exist In this, you
have the knowledge of the ingredients and
the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with a trial
and that upon inspection it will meet with
your appreciation,
With a feeling ofprofound confidence,

The WoGsne Tunnel.


FROM she New York Daily Bulletin.
Few engineering enterprises now in pro-
gTess In the United States possess q greater
scientific interest than the costly tunnel
which penetrates the Hoosac mountain, in
western Massachusetts,. This undertaking
was begun, We believe, in 1848, but the
progress Of the work has been 80 slow that
the bore viii not be opened for passage Of
| trains until 1872, at the earliest. An i'm
portant progress has lately been made,
however, in the completion of the great
central shaft, which has reached the grade
OF the tunnel, over I, 600 feet below the
natural surface. This viii greatly faoiIitate
the work, as It enables the bore to be
worked from the centre outward, as well as
from the ends inward, end allows the CON
tIaetors TO double the regular working
force Of rock men and laborers.
Before the work from the shaft toward
the ends can be undertaken, however, GER
tain mathematical calculations must be
made, which involve the successful dis
charge of the most delicate and responsible
professional duties which any engineer
was ever called upon to perform-it being
necessary to lay down line less than 27
feet in length ct the bottom Of dripping.
dark shaft 1,030 feet deep, so that both
ends Of the line, being projected, shall
coincide with the terminal points of the
tunnel, each being distant over IL coo feet
from the centre Of the shaft. To increase
tbs initial difficulty, the top Of the shaft is
on tho summit Of arugged mountain, from
l, 500 80 j, 900 #. above the grade of the tUn-
mel at its termini. It is, therefore. No slight
responsibility that is incurred by the en-
Pineer who assumes the charge of this DEL
icate operation. To facilitate tho correct
performance Of this duty o colossal transit
instrument has been constructed at the
cost Of the State Of Massachusetts, which
is the most perfect ever made. The most
accurately verified lines have been laid
down over the mountain, extending long
distances beyond III both directions to the
tops Of noighboring mountains. BY the
accuracy Of this instrument and it's
manipulation the line OF twenty-seven
feet-the transverse diameter of the
shafE-will be permanently defined, requir-
ing wonderful exactness, and from its ex-
tr6Inities the "plummet" alone can reach
tho bottom of the shaft. These
plGnmets must, Of necessity, be heavy
end beautifully poised, and will require to
be suspended III oil TO produce perfect rest
and protection from tho faintest vibrations
of the cir. The most delicate cords, con
sistent with strength. must be used to sus-
pend them; and after all is done that
science can suggest-~being absolutely co.,
rect as to the theocy-it is easy to see how
delicate and difficult will be the practical
part OF the operation, and what grave con-
sequences would follow the slightest error
OF alignment on SO small base. 1t is
quite possible That such On error will be
inevitable, SIS the motion of the earth may
affect the plummet TO an extent sufficient
TO disturb the calculations; but this fact
has not been demonstrated, and scientific
RuEhoTitias differ on the subject.
