The union Of Europe and Africa by means
of q tunnel under the Straits Of Gibraltar, i
one Of the great engineering schemes at pres
ent contemplated. This tunnel, as projected
is 70 be right line, extending between Tarifs
and Algesiras, on the Spanish coast, to Ceuta
and Tangier on the Morocco shore, the sub
marine portion to be a, 100 feet In length, or
nearly nine miles. Thisvast enterprise offers,
it is said, more difficulties than the similar
work under the English Channel, although
the latter will have more than twice the length.
The maximum depth Of the channel at the
point to be traversed Is stated to be only about
1862 feet, while that Of the Straits is 2,62l feet.
Surprising that tho tunnel under Gibraltar be
bored at q distance Of one thousand feet under
the bed, its total depth under the sea level
would be over 1900 feet, while the entry and
exit galleries would be each three miles in
length.

lighting here just one week ago to-day, at

every kind except tomatoes. Wheat, oats
and corn soon look ed as if FIRE had scorched
them. In some places the stalks Of grain
fell to the ground with the weight Of the

laying their eggs by the Wholesale, so that
you can imagine our prospects are for q
crop next year. wv
Men who have lost two or three success

In some cases they are mortgaged to the
last cent and have no means Of getting away,
and all hopes are blasted for next year. In
some localities the entire population are 60

turning and some for one year. But what
can these latter do? They leave here and by
the time they are fairly settled elsewhere they
must return to find their land grown to
weeds and their buildings torn down by the
lawless ones who remain behind.
If the 'hoppers would leave tomorrow
some would harvest 6 or I bus. Of whea
per acre and have some corn and potatoes
left. But the weather is unfavorable ant
they are doing nothing but eating and laying
eggs. Their course aims westward; the.
