The Channel funnel.
New York Herald.l

Wv 1blh hcIdAusl
The Channel Tunnel scheme for
uniting England and France by a
submarine viaduct between Dover
and Calais is rapidly passing from
the phase of scientific discussion
into that of practical realization.
A full description of this great un-
dertaking is published in to-day's
Herald. 1t would be too soon to
say thatit will be successful, because
the systems of experimental sound
ingS and borings have not yet pro-
gressed far enough to furnish relia-
BILE data whereon to base an opinion.
Up to the present nothing has oc-
CURED to dampen the enthusiasm
of the projectors, and much has
been demonstrated which will be
regarded as highly favorable to the
ultimate success of the project.
The chief danger lies in the posi-
bic existence Of faults in the chalk
formation that underlies the Straits
Of Dover, but as none of these have
yet presented themselves to the in
yestigating engineers, there are
strong reasons for believing that
they will not occur. The bOrings
already in progress on the French
side have been carried to a depth Of
200 feet through the harder over
lying formation. These operations
will test the porosity of the chalk,
and an estimate can be made there
from of the amount of pumping
power that will be necessary to
keep the excavations clear of water.

about his being a Tor (rid) Pedro?

No. 2 slides into the vacant chair
and remarks: Clocks like spring

reminds me of a joke that occurred
to me in the postoffce to-day. Why
is Dom Pedro like the voice of a

he's an Empy-roar and Brays-ill.
It's astonishing how these things

No. 8 takes his place, and with a

Cruelty atsea.

A clover of Justice writes to
the London Times hat shipowners
are responsible for the fearful out
RACES on the high sea, because they
employ utterly unknown foreigners
at lower wages than an English
sailor would accept. On the other
hand, the writer, who is an officer
of the royal navy, testiies to the
brutal treatment of merchant sea-
men. On oneOccasion he saw a smart
young fellow scolded by the mate, a
lad Of twenty-three, because he was
too slow in rolling up a sail which
had Just been shifted. The sailor
answered the mate, who at once
struck him across the mouth with
an iron Delaying pin, knocking out
two teeth. There was a short
scufle, and in a few moments the
man was triced up, his feet on a
spare spar, his thumbs dashed to
the main shrOuds, and he was
hogged with the end of a topsail
brace. The captain of the ship
released the prisoner on the officers

There is some science, a little

The other day when a Detroit
clergyman made an evening call on
one of his congregation and was
invited to playa game, he was only
too glad, remarking that such social
games served sometimes to place
pastor and parishioner on a more
friendly footing. Before the first
game was out a young lady hit him

a sermon on horticulture, says Down
ing, | should take this for my text:
Stir the soil. In dry weather it is very
essential that the soil be stirred Of
ten. The air waters the fresh dug
coil much more eliectually than we
can do. A man will raise more moist
uro with spade ard hoe in a day
than he can pour on the earth out of
a watering pot in a week. If the
ground be suffered to become close
AMI compact, the cool surface exposed
to the air for the reception Of moisture
is smaller and what is deposited does
not enter into the earth far enough to
be appropriated; but if the soil be
loose and porous the air enters more
deeply and deposits its moisture be-
meath the surface. Almost any soil
in which seed will germinato, may
be made BY continued hoeing to pro-
duce crop. Above all cut away
every seed that appears. cone years
seeding makes seven years wedding,
The only use Of weeds is to make a
necessity Of tilling the ground more
frequently.

AGRICULTURAL.
CO.NPOSTING ~ FAIL AND
WINTER.

Change the ordinary plan of pitch
ing your stable manure promlscuous-
" out of doors is what the Canada
Farmer urges. Give the composing
and sheltering method at least one
fair trial during the coming fall and
winter, and you will be surprised at
the result. Have you a vacant shed
or clubhouse on the premises If so,
use it for the purpose of storage; if
not, erect something Of the kind, how
ever cheap and temporary. A COM
mon board or slab roof, resting upon
bare posts, is better than no shelter at
all. Early in the fall, before YOU be-
gin housing your cattle, cart a few
cords Of good dry loam or muck into
some place convenient and handy to
your stables. If muck cannot be got,
use any other absorbent every day in
the trenches behind your COWS and
horses, and, in cleaning out your sta
bles, night and morning, wheel earth
and all out under the storing shed -
Continue this during the winter, sprin-
king the heap occasionally with pIas-
ter of Paris to retain its ammonia,
and in spring you will have ready for
your fields a fertilizing materel worth
fifty per cent more than the best ordl-
nary barnyard manure. When straw
alone is used as an absorbent-and no
doubt it is most extensively employed
Just take the trouble Of running it
through the cutter beforehand, and
you will thus not only lessen the DIFF
fculty Of subsequent handling, but
materially aid in its incorporation with
the animal waste. In applying this
compost to the fields, it is to be treat
ed in the ordinary way. that is spread
broadcast over the surface and plou-
ghed under, if on the green sward !;
or thoroughly narrowed in if on the
inverted sod. The principal gain cl-
fected by composing is the prese'va-
ton of the liquid excremoats, which
by the usual method are almost, if not
altogether lost end when both Sci
ence AMI experience alike prove these
to be Of more enrIcAlng value than
the solid, surely it is to the farmers
interest to DO all he can to conserve
them and enjoy the profits accruing
from their application.

Antiquity and Durability OF
Brick.

THE palaces of Cr9sus, Mausoleus
and Attalus, and other extremely an
cient buildings, were constructed of
hard-burnt red brick. At the decline
of the Roman Empire brick-making
fell, to great extent, into disuse, and
was revived again by the Italians after
lapse of some centuries. TIL:
medieval, secular and ecclesiastical
architecture of Italy abounds with
fine examples of brick and terra-cotta
work, and decorations of great beauty
have been executed in those materials.
Brick-making arrived at its greatest
perfection in the reign of Henry VIII,
in England, and some of the finest
known specimens of ornamental brick
work constructed in that reign are
still the subject of admiration, and
are well preserved from decay. On
rebuilding London after the great fire
in 1866, brick was the material univer-
sally adopted for the new erections,
and laws regulating the sizes, thick
ness Of wall and projections were at
that time made and enforced for the
better protection of the community
Much of the brick work remaining ii
London in buildings erected in the lat
ter part OF the seventeenth century
and beginning of the eighteenth is adj
mirably executed and in good preser
Yation.
