by means of the proposed tunnel from
the Canadian mainland to Prince Ed
wards isle, it is believed that the steam
communication may be carried on all
the year round, as is the case now in the
Clyde. Severn and Thames system. The
total distance from Cape Tormentine to
Cape Traverse, the two terminal points,
is eight and one-half miles, and between
these two points are the straits of North
cumberland. The plan is to run tunnel
composed of metal cylinders three Fights
inches thick, fifteen feet in diameter,
lined with concrete two and one-half
feet thick, giving a clear passageway of
ten feet, through which cars may be
drawn by tireless engines, also to run
piers out from the main land on the New
Brunswick side, 10000 feet. and from
Prince Edwards side 1000 feet To reach
the bottom of the straits, which at the
ends of these piers is twenty feet below
water level, a cylinder will run down a
gradual incline. Ventilation of the
whole will be secured 10y means of a
shaft sunk about half way across the
straits, at which point the water is ninety
feet deep.-Chicago Herald.

On much Of these high lands, altos the
people call them, there are streams of
water which can be used for irrigation.
The farming on such favored spots goes
on the year around-for the thermome-
ter during the eight years of this gentle
mans residence has never been above ~
degrees or below 50 degrees-indeed only
once during that time has it risen as high
or fallen as low. 1t is difficult to realize
such an unvarying steadiness of climate.
Colds are unknown, and although the
poor people live, many of them in open
bamboo huts with no floors, the smoke

ton such as Kansas possesses would
transform this region into a blooming
garden. No frosts ever touch vegetation
and the fruit trees blossom and bear
fruit at the same time. In early times
the Spaniards brought here the grape
and olive and they throve well; after
wards Spain, fearing the growth would
destroy her monopoly of the wine and
oil trade of the country, decreed that
the vineyards and olive orchards should
all be eXtirpated, and it was done. No
vigorous attempt since the independence
of the republic has been made to repro
duce the destroyed industry. Some
vines have been put out, but the matur-
ing grapes have fallen a prey to a small
ant. This however, is not the case in
other parts of the republic than the

the social gossip at the capital will be full

correspondence has been organized, reaching
out into every nook and corner for the latest
and freshest current events.
The local force has been enlarged, and in
this department it will be the aim of THE

Politically, THE UNION will undergo no
