TIE ST. eoTHARD TUNNEL.

The boring of the st. Gothard tunnel is
pronounced by one of the engineers to be
the greatest work hitherto attempted by
man; certainly its Importance and mag
nitude can be hardly overrated. 1t de-
serves to be regarded with especial admir-.
alton as work which was marked in every
department and at every stage by triumphs
of the highest skill in scientific engineer
ing. The tunnel is intended to form part
of the railway connecting the North Sea
with the Mediterranean, and is situated on
the most direct route betweenthese regions,
passing through the chain of the Alps at
central point. The railroad through this
line was preceded by the road over the
Bremen Pass of the Tyrol, for that
was easier of execution, and by
that through the Mont Gents
Tunnel, for the French Government had
political reasons for constructing road
which should be under its own control
The Swiss soon saw, after the rival lines
were constructed, that the traffic which
belonged to them would be diverted to pass
around them, and Immediately began
operations to open road through their own
mos. direct route. In this they enjoyed
the cooperation of Germany and Italy.
The operations at ST. Gothard were begun
under the advantage of the possession of
the experience, knowledge, and skill that
had been gained in constructing the tunnel
of Mont Gents.

AGENCY OF WATER IN VOLCANIC PIE
N0MENA.

Accumulated proofs 10 longer allow us
to doubt the constant agency of water in
the production of volcanic phenomena. It
would seem that sea-water passes into the
subterranean reservoirs either by percola-
ton through assures or by transudition
under the enormous pressure it sustains.
Coming in contact with the incandescent
lava at great depth, it is vaporized, and
the accumulation OF steam causes from
time to time an explosion of those subter-
ranean boilers. Although the heat of the
lava.streams is rapidly dissipated by con-
tact with the air, the temperature of the
incandescent mass at the bottom of the
crater may be estimated at 1000,
for refractory metals are known to
melt in contact with the molten lava.
Were it not over 1900, the pressure of
the steam generated by matter thus heated
would be ample to account for the explo-
sive force of eguptions. 1t is not neces-
sary, indeed, to assume so great depth as
twenty kilometers for the seat of this
force, in order to explain the existence of
matter in fusion, for there is nothing to
initiate against the supposition that the
earth's crust is thinner in volcanic regions
than elsewhere. 1t is quite probable that
the inner surface of this crust is furrowed
and assured, especially along the lines of
unequal density where the continents JOIN
the ocean beds. [R. Radau, in Popular
Science Monthly.

ALL THE ELEMENTS OF POPULARITY. As
between the parties, the Republicans
should win, and IS between the men, all
the elements of popularity are with Cen
eral Garfield. His nomination was received
with enthusiasm by his own party, and de-
lights almost all Americans not hostiie to
his political p inciples. He embodies their
idea of career. The average small free
holder who, in the last resort, rules the
Union, sees something dramatic in the
election of man who was once day la
borer to the Presidency of the Republic,
something which realizes his boast that in
the United States all careers are SO free
that any American lad may hope one day
to find himself in the White House He is
himself exalted in such a mans election,
and this none the less because General
Garfield is now a man of culture and expe-
rience in politics That feeling, not alto
gether without warrant, if equality of
chances in life is true republican idea,
greatly helped the election of the rail-
splitter" Abraham Lincoln and the re-
suit of that choice-the most successful
ever made by the Union-will help to
smooth the path of General Garfield, whose
character again, attracts the higher class
to which he now belongs General Han
cock, on the other hand, though, in his
way, celebrated, is not the kind Of man
to arouse enthus asm among voters, who at
heart believe that the West Point training,
Though now acknowledged to be essential
