Eleeiineering at POmpeii.

At Pompeii / noticed over the shop
doors signs IN large ornamental letters,
painted on the walls, naming the bus
mess carried on Stone hitching- posts
for horses were in front of many of
them. On some of the most frequent
streets, the hard travistine rock pave
ments were deeply worn into ruts by
the cart-wheel, and the sidewalks also
were much worn by the tread of human
feet. The stairways of public buildings
exhibited the same effect of friction.
Electioneering advertisements were fire.
quently met with ON the walls of houses,
painted in red letters, calling on the
citizens to vote for this or that person
for some office, generally alderman,
justices, sheriff, or treasurer, perhaps
because they paid best, although no
salaries were attached to the first
named. One inscription runs "The
Scribe Issus requests You to support
NJ. c. Vatia as Kdile. He is worthy
and well qualified" Another trans
lated, reads Phillipus beseeches of
you to create NJ. Halconius Decemvir
of Justice, Police magistrate. such
as " Chief Justice Banyon used to be.
Many of the recommendations proceed
from tradc-guilds, or unions, which
seem to have been numerous in Pom
peii. Some of the inscriptions on the
walls were lampoonsof rival candidates,
with caricatures Of their faces or any
personal popularity. In the vestibult
Of the High School the following in.
scription is scratched on the smooth
stucco of the yellow wall Otiosis hio
iocus non est disccdc mocat0r"-
This is no place for idlers let then
hegone," or something to that effect.
Another inscription is still sharper il
reads: {" dU discc, ant disccdc, uu
meHiet suO tcfti0 cHdi :" which, freely
translated, signifies as follows i" Study
or leave, or take a COMPOUNDED good
licking" Both inscriptions are evident

walls. One OF them reads. in transla
ton, "Methe, the slave of Corninis

Singular Speculations in the East.

Archaologists, says the Levant Her
aid, have of late years turned their
attention largely to the recovery of the
vast remains of antiquity which are
known to abound all over Turkey,
Cyprus, Ephesus, Nineveh, the Troad,
and other classical sites have been
probed with pick and spade, and the
search has generally been productive of
discoveries valuable alike to the specu-
lator and 10 the student. Hitherto the
search has been directed rather to
objects of early antiquity than to those
relics of the Middle ages, Of which
Crete and Rhodes are the principle re-
positories, but which are found scatter
ed in the shape of old fortresses and
castles along the shores of the Medi-
terranean. Founding expectation upon
q popular tradition, company is now,
il appears, soliciting from the Turkish
Government ~ fireman for dredging the
Port of Rhodes for the bronze enns
and culyerius which are said to have
been committed 10 the waters in the
times of the heroic struggle between
the Knights of ST. John and the mighty
Solomon. The petitioners offer TO give
the Government one-third of all that
they may recover Speculation rather
than archaeology is supposed TO be the
main incentive in the proposed enter
prise.

The st. GOthard Tunnel.

From report of lecture delivered
at Venice By Professor Fubini we learn
that the great work of tunneling the
St. Gothard has made a fair start at
both ends, and is proceeding at a rate
which is likely to quicken as science is
more and more applied to it. Italy it
was pointed out, is already connected
with the world beyond the Alps by no
fewer than four railroads, those over
the Simmering and Bremen passes, the
Mount Cents line, and that along the
Riviera coast from Nice to Genoa.
But it is cut off from all important
direct commerce with Switzerland,
Western Germany and Belgium, and the
St. Gothard line will open all these to
italian enterprise, the traffic passing
from them through its being distributed
from Bellinzona, on the italian side,
nv four branches leading respectively
toward Venice, Bologna, Genoa and
Turin The use of dynamite i'll place
of punpow, Ter is described as one of the
greatest inn, ovements yet introduced
in this line OF work, since it allows a
large saving both of time and money as
compared TO the O, der explosive. But
Lnere are various mo,
air-supply machinery /, 'tely introduced
which add to the comic ut and safety
with which the work is carried on.
The boring machine is the b. elglan one
of Messrs. Dubois and Francois, whlch
is capable of giving from three t. four
hundred blows a minute, but s,'lll
more powerful engine will shortly BE-
substituted for it, to the greater adj
vantage of the work. A chain of lamps
down the center of the tunnel, brought
by means of telescope at some des-
lance from the mouth into a vertical
line with a set of posts carried straight
over the mountain, insure the perfect
correctness Of the direction of the
work, which, contrary to the advice of
some engineers, will be straight
throughout, and about $500 yards
longer than that of Mount Gents. The
professor was confident that the line
will be complete in 1880, as promised
by the engineer in charge, M. Favre of
Genoa, who is assisted in the purely
scientific details by professor Colladon.
