The Channel Tunnel.

The Channel tunnel between England
and France will start from st. Marga-
ret's bay, and will thence proceed by
downward gradient of one in eighty for
about three miles. From this point to
the center of the strait, the gradient will
be reduced TO one in 2,640; and the
French side will be constructed in pre-
cisely a similar way. Below the road
way will be the necessary drains and at
the sides will be the ventilating appara-
tus, consisting prebably of pipe
pierced at frequent intervals, and fitted
with cscks, from which the air may be
turned on at needful times. The Eng
lish end of the completed tunnel will be
connected by loop line with the South
eastern, and London, Chatham and
Dover railways and the French end,
by similar means, with the line from
Boulogne to Calais, and thence to Paris.
The tunneling machinery to be used is
the invention of Mr.. Dickinson Brun-
ton. 1t works like an auger, and cuts
off the chalk in slices, which break up
and fall upon an endless band commu-
nicating with wagons in the rear.
Through gray chalk it advances at the
rate of rather more than one yard pei
hour and at this rate it would only re-
quire two years to send a driftway OF
nine feet in diameter from one side OF
the channel to the other, if machine
were started from each end. The con.
tractors estimate that this could be done
for f80O, 900, and that further expen-
diture of four years time, and four mill
ions of money, would entirely complete
the work. Whether the undertaking,
when finished, will pay, is question
that time only can answer. The pro-
moters themselves are sanguine of every
| success.

The Sleep Of the Brain.

The brain in sleep Prof. Terrier conf
pared to a calm pool, in which stone
causes ripples, liable to interruption by
other ripples similarly caused. So the
ripples of ideation get confused. But,
again, the circle on the pool may not be
interrupted, and then the ideation will
be regular. The current of ideation
may be coherent or incoherent. The
most vivid association, which is COM
monty the latest, dominates over the
rest. DR.. Reid, the metaphysician,
once dreamed of being scalped-there
was blister upon his head. DR..
Gregory, from having bottle of hot
water at his feet, dreamed of walking up
the crater of Etna. Visceral conditions
are the most frequent sources of dreams;
the hungry dream of feasts, the thirsty
of water, the dropsical of drowning.
DIR. Terrier happily compares incoherent
dreaming to the kaleidoscope. THERE'S
nothing new in dreams the blind do
not dream that they see, nor the deaf of
music. In such cases there is letter
missing from the font of type. Our
fancy is awake during dreams, and the
faculties which should check it are
asleep. Hence it is that nothing sur
prises us in dreaming. Popular

Indian Troubles i'm New Mexico.

A dispatch to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, from Leavenworth, mentions
report received there indicating fears
of general uprising among the Ute In
dams in Colorado, as warriors of that
tribe have been for some time in doubt
full attitude, and some fears of an out
break have been felt in New Mexico.
The Indians of that section have made
several warlike demonstrations, and
have come in collision with the troops
more than once. From information re-
ceived from New Mexico, it is extremely
probable that the Indians will indulge
in general instruction as soon as an
opportunity offers, as they are, without
doubt, one of the most treacherous
tribes on the continent. Sheriff Coils,
of La Platte county, telegraphs from
Parrot City to Gov. Routt asking for
assistance, saying that the Utes number
fully 1000, and are about to make raid
on Col. Hatch, commanding the New
Mexico district. He also telegraphed to
Gov. Routt, from Santa Fe, saying that
if he so authorized him he would issue
arms to the citizens, as the inhabitants
of La Platte, Los Animas, and Parrot
City were afraid of an immediate out
break. Gov. Routt telegraphed Gen.
Pope, at Fort Leavenworth, informing
him of the state of affairs and asking
him to authorize Col. Hatch to issue
arms to citizens, but received reply to
the effect that only the President could
authorize him to do so. Gen. Pope
stated, however, that Col. Hatch had
enough troops at Fort Union, Wingate
and Garland to suppress an outbreak
should any occur.

Unfinished Monuments.

Slowly the eyes of those charged with
a patriotic duty are turned toward the
completion of the monument commenced
ON the banks of the Potomac in honor
of the Father of his Country. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury has ordered an
inspection of the foundation, and if that
be sound, then it is supposed some little
work may be carried on to save the ap-
preparation fror, repeal. Sir John Lub-
book says that Egyptian records show
the greatpyramid of Cheops was ordered
to be repaired at least 1000 years b. c.,
and yet it is unfinished. Some day the
Washington monument may be COM
pleted, but just now it can hail Cheops
and call it elder brother.
