reciprocally perpendicular, two of them
being parallel, and the third at right angles
to the surface on which tho characters or
designs are written or engraved.
Etching on crown glass is a very simple
process. The glass is first heated in sand
bath, and then rubbed over with purified
beeswax, the temperature of the glass be-
ing such as to cause the wax TO melt COM
pletely and uniformly over its surface
When every part of the plate is covered
with wax it may be set aside to cool. A
paper having design bold drawn upon it
may then be attached to the unwaxed side
of the glass, and the workman traces the
lines through the wax by pointed instru-
ment, care being taken that She point clears
all the wax from the glass wherever the
design comes. This done, some coarsely-
powdered fourspar must be placed in
vessel, together with a quantity of sui
phuric acid, well mixed together, and as
soon as they are Incorporated, the glass
should be placed over the vessel, the wax
surface downward, when moderate degree
of heat must be applied to the bottom Of
the vessel. The fumes of fuoric acid soon
arise and attack the unprotected portion
of the glass. In half an hour it may be
removed, washed, and the wax scraped off,
leaving the design perfectly etched upon
the surface of the glass.-FWnitwe Ga

The London Builder offers the follow
ing suggestions Keep matches in metal
boxes, and out of the reach of children !;
wax matches are particularly dangerous
and should be kept out of the way Of rats
and mice. Be careful in making fires
with shavings and other light kindlings.
Do not deposit ashes in a wooden vessel,
and be sure that burning cinders are ex-
tinguished before they are deposited.
Never put firewood upon the stove to dry,
and never put ashes or light under
staircase. Fill fluid or spirit (kerosene)
lamps only by daylight, and never near a
fire or light. Do not leave candle burn
ing on bureau or chest. Always be
cautious about extinguishing matches or
other lighters before throwing them away.
Never throw cigar stump upon the floor
or into spit box containing saw dust or
trash without being certain that it contains
no fire. After blowing out candle never
put it away until sure that the snuff
has gone entirely out. A lighted candle
ought not to be stuck up against frame
wall or placed upon any portion of the
woodwork in stable, mandatory, shop
or other place. Never enter a barn or
stable at night with an uncovered light.
Never take an open light to examine gas
meter. Do not put gas or other lights
near curtains. Never take light into
closet. Do not read in bed.
The principal register of furnace
should always be fastened upon. Stove
pipes should be at least four inches from
woodwork, and well guarded by tin or zinc
rags ought never to be stuffed into stove
pipe holes; openings into chimney fues
for stove pipes which are not used ought
always to be securely protected by metal
lie coverings. Never close up place of
business in the ewing without looking well
to the extinguishment of lights and the
proper security of the fires. When retir-
ing to bed at night, always see that there
is no danger from your fires, and be sure
that your lights are safe. To these the
Scientific American adds Never keep
or leave oiled rags or oiled cotton waste
in any place where their burning could do
any harm. Do not allow accumulation of
combustible rubbish about, especially in
out Of the way corners"

How the Eve is Preserved,

There is dust on sea and land-on the
valley and on the mountain top-there is
dust always and everywhere. The at
mostphere is full of it. 1t penetrates the
noisome dungeon, and visits the deepest,
darkest caves of the earth. No palace
door can shut it out; no drawer is SO secret
as to escape its presence. Every breath
Of wind dashes it upon the open eye, which
yet is not blinded, because there is fouu-

sanity emptying itself under the eyelid,
which spreads itself over the surface Of the
eyeball, at. every winking, and washes
every atom of dust away. This liquid, SO
well adapted to the eye, itself has some
acridity, which, under certain circumstan-
ces, becomes SO decided as to be scalding
to the skin, and would rot away the eye
lids were it not that along the edges Of
them there are little oil manutories, which

The Channel Tunnel.

The projected tunnel under the English
Channel has SO far assumed the form of
reality that the French and English Gov
ernments have for some time had a Joint
commission celebrating upon the basis of
a treaty to settle their mutual rights in the
premises. Some time before the commits
sion met the necessary concession was
granted to the Tunnel Companies, and the
official movement towards treaty looks
as if the tunnel were really in serious con-
temptation. This joint commission has
just submitted its report. 1t is proposed
that each nation shall give the construc-
tion companies concession for SO years
from the date of opening the railway, at
the end Of which time it is to revert to
the two Governments. By July 1st next
year the preliminary work is to be begun
each company digging its own section
there being an English and French COM
pany, In August, 1879, by which time
it is thought the feasibility of the under
taking can be demonstrated and its cost
approximately calculated, the companies
must declare whether they will retain or
abandon the concession. If they decide
to construct the work they are to have
twenty years for its completion and the
opening of the railway for traffic. Either
company may, at any time, abandon the
undertaking, on proving, to the satisfac-
tion of its Government, the impossibility
of continuing work. After 80 years from
the opening, the Governments are to have
the right of buying out the companies,
Each Government, without consulting the
other, can at any time suspend operations
on the tunnel and railway. This is to
provide for the contingency of war, and it
is also stipulated that each Government
may damage or destroy the works or any
part Of them, within its own territory, or
flood the tunnel with water. To prevent
the tunnel being used by any railway to
the exclusion of others, it is provided that
equal facilities shall be afforded trains of
all kinds, whatever their points of depar-
ture or destination. This outline of the
proposed treaty, it is considered, will be
substantially adopted by both countries.
The liberal allowance oftime twenty years.
for the completion of the work is more
than double the time thought by contrac-
tors to be requisite. The tunnelling ma
chinery, it is stated, can bore drift nine
feet in diameter across the channel in two
years, at cost of S4,O00,000. -Four
years more, and an additional outlay of
S20,OOO,OO0 will complete the tunnel.
The laying of the railway afterwards is
comparatively an easy task. Use esti-
mates are based on the theory of con-
tinuous chalk bed underlying the channel,
free from percolations or subtcrranean
springs. Increased difficulties would in
volve longer time and more expense
1t will be noticed that this huge work is
projected without even the suggestion of
a Government subsidy or loan Of credit
circumstance which confirms the faith
of those who hold that Government aid is
not necessary for the construction of COM
mercinl works IF admitted ut;l;tu

l. Lose no time. Garry out these di
rections on the spot.
2. Remove the froth and mucous from
the mouth and nostrils.
3. Hold the body, for fe,o seconds
only, with the head hanging down, 50 that
the water may run out of the lungs and
windpipe.
4. Loosen all tight articles of clothing
about the neck and chest.
B. See that the tongue is pulled for
ward if it falls back into the throat. By
taking hold Of it with handkerchief It
will not slip.
q. II the breathing has ceased, or near
ly SO, it may be stimulated by pressure of
the chest with the hands, in imitation of
the natural breathing, forcibly expelling
the air from the lungs, and allowing it to
re-enter and expand them by the elasticity
of the ribs. Remember that this is the
most important step ofall.
To do it readily, lay the person on his
back, with cushion, pillow, or some firm
substance under the shoulders then press
with the fiat of the hands over the lower
part Of the breast bone and the upper part
Of the abdomen, keeping up regular re-
petlon and relaxation of pressure twenty
or thirty times minute. A pressure Of
thirty pounds may be applied with safety
to grown person.
z. Rub the limbs with the hands, Or
with dry cloths, constantly, to aid the cir
culataion and keep the body warm.
s. As soon as the person can swallow,
give tablespoonful of spirits in hot
water, or some warm tea or coffee.
0. Work deliberately. Do not give up
too quickly. Success has rewarded the
efforts of hours.
