A Great Railway Enserprsse.

Baltimore 10 naturally exultant over the ac-
complishment Of the great engineering feat by
which four important railroads have been
brought to common terminus at her wharves
by an extensive system Of tunneling. The Bal
timore american to-day gives q large supple
mentsry sheet to the llustr alton of this import
ant work. This enterprise il in two divisions,
though they are sufficiently united to make one
great whole. They are the Balti more and Po-
tomac tunnel, and the Union railway tunnel.
The Baltimore and Potomac tunnel (enabling
the Northern Central and Pennsylvania rail-
road TO make southern connections through
BsltimOre) is one of the most extensive enter
prises of the kind ever undertaken. With the
exception of the HoOsac tunnel, 1t is the longest
on this side OF the Atlantic. The Hoosac tunnel
is about four and three-quarter miles long aud
has been IN progress for more than quarter of
century. The baltimore and Potomac tun-
mel Is about one and one-half miles long, aud
although of the most solid and durable con-
stIuction. has been built in two years, and the
tunnel will be ready for the passage of trains
by the first of July, exactly two years and one
month from the time when ground was first
broken.
The Union tunnel, though not so long ana
therefore not 50 costly the Baltimore and
fotomac tunnel, IL work of great magnitude,
and as II Is the connecting link binding Ogether
the whole system of through connection, is of
high Importance The Union railroad via this
tunnel, connects together the Baltimore and
Potomac, Western Maryland, Northern Cen
trail, and Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more railroads, and brings the IN all to tide
water at Canton, Baltimore. The MARYLAND
Central railroad, is also projected to connect
with the Union railroad. The Union railroad Is
mostly doubled-tracked; the grade in no place
exceeds eighty feet to the mile, and is very easy
over the greater portion of the route. The
length OF the road is three and four firth miles
from the junction near Charles street to the
junction with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore road; and from the junction near
Charles street 10 tidewater six miles. The cost
of the road and tunnel has been 81 100000. As
the Union railroad il toll-road it will not have
any rolling stock, except one engine for shift
ing purposes The charter of the railroad pro-
vides against any discrimination in rates or
toll, and the charges are limited to i've cents
per ton per nile, and ten cents per passenger
per mile
Baltimore naturally expects to reap consider
able advantage from the Union tunnel, by
which the large amount OF business of four or
hive railroads will be brought directly to her
wharves without any interruption to street
business or injury TO city property, but Wash
inSfon l. more Immediately interested in the
completion OF the Baltimore and Potomac TIM
mel, by which the break in the connection
through Baltimore, so annoying to travellers or
fTeighteIs by the Northern Central railroad
will be avoided.

Cost of the Vienna Exhibition.

From the report of recent proceedings
in the lower house of the Austrian
Reichsrath, we find that the coming ex-
hibition at Vienna is to cost the large
sum of So, $780, 900. The scheme was an
idea of Baron Schwarz, director general
of the exhibition, who has carried on the
work without calculating the cost. A
grant of So, 100000 had been made by
the house at the beginning of the work,
and it is now found that 50, $50, 900 more
will be required. The director general
is enthusiastic in believing that the ex-
hibition will yet result in a surplus but
the London Times correspondent points
out that to produce such result would
pre-suppose. at least twenty millions OF
visitors. The supplementary credit OF
81, $50, 600 is only to be granted by the
financial committee of the Government
on condition that the management of the
affair is taken out of the hands of Baron
Schwarz.

Cold Bathing, and Cold Water Cure.

The Emperor Seyerns, who died in
England, A. ID. 213, practiced cold bath
ing for the govt; and Sir Henry Con-
ingsby, who lived to the age of eighty
eight, imputed his long life to forty
years cold bathing. And William Harry
was much and often troubled with the
gout, and his way of cure was thus " He
would then slit with his legges bare, if
it were frost, on the leads of Cockaine
House, putt them into payle of water,
till he was almost dead with cold, and be-
take himself to his stove, and twas
gone.
John Locke recommends the washing
of the feet in cold water to prevent corns.
SirJoh Floyer, the celebrated physician
of Litchfield, who wrote an ESSAY on
Cold Bathing" in 1902, maintains that
we may learn the benefits of cold i'm
mersion in cold water from the practice
of the lower animals. Elian states that
pigs, when convulsed by eating henbane,
go into the water and, by drinking it,
recover whence we may learn the use of
cold baths in narcotic poisons and sleepy
diseases. Our waterfowl commonly
wash themselves in wet weather; and
CELSIUS recommends the use of cold baths
against rainy seasons, to cure the pain
of the limbs, and the dullness of the
senses occasioned before rains.
Capary-birds are subject to convul-
sions, and are usually cured by i'm
mersing them in cold water. Sir John
Floyer was informed by lady, whose
lapdog he had seen in commissions, that
it was cured of them by being thrown
into tub of water and he adds: "By
these two instances we may observe the
usefulness of cold baths in commissions. -
Sir John further tells us that in Stafford
shire, at Willow Bridge, the people go
into the water in their shirts and, when
they come out, they dress themselves in
their wet linen, which they wear all day,
and much commend for closing the pores.
and keeping themelves cool; and, adds
Sir John, g that they do not commonly
receive any injury, or catch any cold
thereby, i am fully convinced, from the
experiments have seen made within. y
Thus we had the cold-water cure CEN
fury and half ago.
