A wonderru, runnmeln. mel

An engineering work that has taken over century to construct can hardly fail to offer some points of interest in its history, and illus trate the march of events during the years of its progress. An in- stanceof this Kind issto be found in tunnel not long since com pleted, but which was commenced over 100 years ago. This tunnel, or adit,; as it should be more strictly termed, is at Schemnitz, in Hungary. Its construction was agreed upon in 17S2, its object being to carry off the water from the Schemnitz mines to-the lowest part of the Gran valley.
 The work-is now complete, and it forms the longest tunnel in the world, being 1927 miles long, or about one mile longer than St. Gothard, and 2 miles longer than Mount Cenis. The helght is 9 feet 10 inches and the breadth 5 feet inches. This tunnel which has taken so long in making, has cost very nearly a million sterling, but it appears to have.Lbeen well spent; at least the present gener- ation has no reason to grumble, for the. Saving from being able to do away with water raising appli- ances amounts to f15,000 a year.
 There is one further point how ever, worth notice, for if we have the advantage of our great grand fathers in the matter of mechani- cal appliances, they certainly were better off in the price of labor. The original contract for the tun- nel made in -I7S2 was that it should be completed in 50 years and should cost f7 per yard run. For Il years the work was done at this price, but the French Revo- lution enhanced the cost of labor and materials to such an extent that for 30 years :ittle progress was made.
 For ten years following much progress was made, and then the workldropped for 20 years more until the water threatened tc drown the mines altogether. Fin ally the tunnel was completed sin 1878, the remaining part costing f22 a yard, or more than three times as much as the original con tract rate.-Engine<ring.

A Tonquin Pearl Myth.

Inscountries where the precious stones are commonly found, myths are found with them very similar to those associated with the com moner objects of our daily expe- rience.
 Thus in Tonquin the origin of the pearl is accounted for in the following way:
 There was once a Tonquinese king SD well skilled in magic as to make a bow of pure gold, which, as its arrows never failed to deal death, was sure pledge of per petual victory.
 He, therefore, had no difficulty in, defeating another klng who attacked him.
 In time his daughter married the defeated kings son, and one day the latter prevailed on his wife to procure for him the magic bow, and to substitute for it another resems ling it, in its place. -
 She did so in ignorance of the bows virtues, the result being that her father in his turn was con quered and compelled to fly.
 Being informed by the demon of the source of his misfortune. he seized his daughter and, drawing his scimiter, proceeded to kill her. but not before she had time to predict that, in order to afford to future ages an enduring proof of her innocence, the blood that he shed should be turned into pearls. - -
 And surely so it must have been for is not the spot where she was slain still the place where men discover the fairest and loyeliest pearls?

Medical Ethics.

MOI long since aHh1laOelpn1a meOCal
society amputated member. It was a
very good member they cut of, and it
was not diseased at all. In fact, the
member that was cut off was the only
sound, healthy member that the Phila-
delphia Medical Society could boast of.
But dropping all nonsense, Philadel-
phia medical association expelled one OF
its members. They did not expel him
because he had prescribed arsenic in
stead of quinine, or because he had COM
mitted some of his homicides while in
an intoxicated condition. Nobody ever
heard of medical society amputating
member for any such triviality as that.
Now, for what does the reader sup
pose these Philadelphia sawbones cut
off the offending member? For moth
ing in the world except that he had put
his card in newspaper and paid for it.
1t is contrary to medical ethics for q
Philadelphia doctor to advertise in q
newspaper. Why there should be any
more objection to doctor putting his
card in newspaper than there is in
lacking his professional single on his
OllCc SOO1s Uldu VIC CdA WILL
prehend without some operation having
been performed on our journalistic
brain. We utterly fail to discover why
it is more unprofessional in doctor
to advertise in newspaper than it is
for lawyer or broker to do so.
This is peculiarly singular feature
of medical ethics, when it is taken into
consideration that otherwise there is no
profession that is fonder of newspaper
notoriety. If son of Esculapius does
some fine work in repairing rickety
liver, or in putting in order some other
part Of the human anatomy that has be-
come unhinged, we have never seen any
wild, frenzied opposition on the part of
the doctor to having the fact mentioned
in fattering terms in the local paper.
There is nothing in that that interferes
with the therapeutic, chirurgical, sani-
tary, aneleptic, propylactic or any other
kind of medical ethics.
Again, it will be remembered that
every once in while the doctors hold a
kind of medicated ecumenical council.
We have never observed any attempt to
prevent the press from publishing the
sickening details. Usually one of the
doctors is delivered of long saluti-
ferrous, balsamic kind of pastoral ad-
dress, full of Latin names and less in
telligible English about materia medica
or dietetics or pharmacology, after
which his one object in life seems to be
to infict it, as kind of mental porus
plaster on the reading public, through
the medium of the local press. There
seems to be nothing in medical ethics
against running an entire issue of a
Newspaper with that kind of free CYCLIC
pean advertisement of personal and pro-
fessional egotism; yet, when any other
doctor puts in two-inch ad that he is
authorized by law to protect human
life from disease, the entire medical pro-
fession sits up on its hind legs and
bowls about ethics, which goes to show
that the medical profession is as badly
afflicted with humbuggery as is theol-
