PHYSICIANS who have had opportuni-

habit of Chinese, state it as their opin-

hurtful or degrading than the dram
drinking of Western nations, and that
opium smoking is far less hurtful than
opium-eating.

The Channel Tunnel.

Some interesting observations on the
Channel Tunnel have been commune
Gated to the French Academy of Sci
ences bv M. Daubree. After referring
to the three stages of the work. the SCI
entific researches, the preparatory OPP
erations, and the execution of the pro-
ject, he points out that while the Rouen
chalk is water-bearing in its upper
strata it is only slightly so in its lower
beds. The French Association have dug
two wells at Sangatte, ca about nine
ty-five yards deep, and have begun TO
run two galleries from them toward
Shakespeare's Cliff under the sea. In
one of these galleries. at a depth
of sixty seven -tenths yards below
the French photographic bench
mark, the Beaumont perfOrator
will be at work. and in the other the ma
chine of Mr.. Brunton will be employed.
On the English side the pnder-channel
gallery begins at depth of about thir-
ty-two yards below the French hydro
graphic bench-marS, thanks to the drier
nature of the chalk near the surface,
and runs under the sea at a descending
slope of one in eighty. This gallery is
now nearly a mile long under high
water mark. and no water has entered
it as yet. The mass of the rock through
which the tunnel is bored is quite dry,
but from time to time little tunnels of
water are met with issuing from cracks
in the rock. The cylindrical form of
bore adopted by Colonel Beaumont has
an advantage under these circumstan-
ces. as it allows of the gallery being in
sulated from these tricklings by means
of an iron lining formed of rings having
diameter equal to that of the gallery.
These rings are in five segments, bound
together by ribs, through which pass
bolts which connect the segE;on:s to-
gether, and each ring to the next ones.
When water fssure is encountered.
one or more of these rings are placed
over it so as to mask it completely. At
first four segments are put into position
and then the fifth or key is added. The
last joint is frightened by a band of thin
sheet iron inserted into it. When the.
spring from the rock is tolerably strong
it is luted with a cement containing red
lead before the rings are placed over it.
If the fissure is oblique a sort of tube
has to be built up of the rings until it is
masked, but half an hour serves to place
ring into position. Owing to the slope
of the gallery the borers recently at
tanned depth of fifty-six yards below
the French bench-mark. At this point
the depth of low water is five and ona-
half yards, so that the thickness of
strata between the tunnel and the sea
botto m was there about fifty yards. -

WHY PEOPLE SCRATCH THE head

some curious phenomena which. though exceed

are two large nerves Of sensation known as the

each :. ............ 66 lbs. IS. I lbs. GIG Ids
Tho ahoua IRA al Garrnan data.

The above are all German data.
1t will be noticed that the amounts OF each
tasted, varies, corn meal being by far the
easiest digested. One hundred pounds OF
corn meal will make one per cent more milk
than 100 pounds of bran. small Diligence in
deed, but different from what daifyfnen tell
us. At the same time the corn meal will
make from seventeen to twenty per cent
more butter of better color, flavor and text
ure. Cotton seed meal will give as muci
milk and butter, perhaps more butter than
corn meal, but the butter is questionably OF
as good quality. The above remarks apply
when these meals are fed with hay.
In conclusion he says there is no food that
he knows of, when the quality of butter is
considered, that can be added to corn meal
when fed with hay, that would both improve
and cheaper the ration, with the possible
exception of carrots, the best of roots for
butter. For 1000 pound COW, six or seven
pounds makes good ration-four or i've
quarts of clear meal daily. The best meth
cd of feeding he deems to be to feed the
grain fine ground twice day and dry. AS
to whether it should be'mixed with the hay
he does not state, but in a months trial the
scales record no advantage. Neither does
he find it pays to cut corn and other coarse
fodder for feed. The oats or refuse are cut
for bedding and have value then for this
purpose.
