and paper for writing, printing, ana sheat-
ing buildings, and p~asteboard. The Italian
asbestos paper costs about forty cents per
pound, and is found especially serviceable
for important documents which it is desired
tn preserve from fire. To illustrate the fire
proof qualities 'of the p~asteboard, a case
made tllerefrom was filled with ordinary
paper, and another case Of ~pasteboard, not
containing asbestos, but in every other re-
spect exactly similar, was likewise hlled,
and both were thrown into a fire. LII the
space of some five minutes the unprepared
pasteboard box and its contents were wholly
consumed, while at that period the asbestos
box retained its original appearance and
condition unchanged and without receiving
the slightest injury.
Cost or THE SHIP CANAL.-Mr. Henry
Willis. who claims to have had much expe-
rience in the construction of canals in Penn
sylvania, has prepared an estimate OF the
proposed ship canal from Lake Michigan to
the Detroit river, a distance OF ITS miles.
The excavations, he declares, will not aver
age eight feet deep to obtain a deptho of four
teen feet. There are not one hundred rods
of rock excavation on the whole route, and
but little if any hard pan or deep sloughs of
quicksand. Mr.. Willis plan is to tow all
vessels by locomotives, constructing a rail-
road on the bank for this purpose, which he
will make self-supporting by local freights
of lumber, railroad ties, stone, etc., etc. The
distance saved between Chicago and Detroit
bv this canal will be $50 miles. The total
cost is estimated at S., 936, ego.

IT IS a remarkable fact that nothing sur
passes, in modern engineering, thcpyramids
of Ghizeb, built some five thousand years
ago. It is universally acknowledged by the
highest professional authorities in thisl line,
that the masonry could not be surpassed in
these days; and, moreover, the design is
perfect for the purpose for which they were
intended, above all to endure. The building
Of pyramids continued for some ten centu-
ries, and from sixty to seventy still remain
many contain enormous blocks of granite
from thirty to forty feet long, weighing
more than three hundred tons. and display
the most consummate ingenuity in their
construction. A more difficult operation
than the mere transport of weight-that OF
raising obelisks weighing more than four
hundred tons-was performed with precis-
ion by the Egyptians, but their method of
lifting them remains unknown. The use of
large stones in Qualifications was known to
the Peruvians and in India, too, from their
gina to the Use of the arch, builders
have commonly used large blocks both in
bridges and buildings. But the Romans
surpassed in mechanics the Egyptians who
set up obelisks, since they transported them
from Egypt, and atterward erected them at
Rome, where more are now to be found than
remain in Egypt. Immense stones were
used in the temples of Baalbec; one lies
ready quarried which is seventy feet long
and fourteen feet square, and weighs up
ward of 1.135 tons.

THE GREAT INDIA FAMINE.

What region on the face Of the globe in
modern times, or at any period, has suffered
more dire Affections than india? Scarcely
have the last details reached us of the great
cyclone, which hurried into eternity we'll
nigh a million souls, and now we are hor-
ritied to hear that part of the world is suf-
iering from what promises to be the greatest
of famines. In Madras, $4,000 are already
employed in the relief works, and go, 900 in
Bombay. The Government estimates show
that the famine in Bombay will gradually
Increase, reaching the maximum in April,
when 100000 0 people will require relief,
after which it will gradually decrease. In
Madras. the prospect is proportionately
worse. The districts affected in Madras
cover $4,000 square miles, and contain a
population of $4,000, 900. In Bombay the
Mmine-stricken territory covers 1000 square
miles, and has a population of 5000, 900,
100000 of which are in districts more inn
mediately affected. There has been an
almost total failure of crops in large dis
tricts.

the expedition would be accomplished. Once
at the %pole-(the earth's poles keep open

home in the direction of Nova Lembla and
the coast of Norway. The above plan hay

carry it out it was agreed that q prominent
Senator should urge the passage through
