Bridging the English Channel.

The scheme of constructing a bridge over
the English channel has Just been completed.
1t has been worked out by the Creusot engi-
neers and N. Hersent, ex-president Of the
Society of Civil Engineers. The progress of
metallurgy makes the construction possible
of an immense bridge, thirty kilometers long,
with platform at the height of fifty meters
above the sea at full tide, and supported by
piles at distances of 500 meters. The height
allowed for the bridge over the channel
would allow large steamers and sailing YES
sells to pass freely. 1t would support four
railway lines, besides a road for carriages
and footpaths. This will be satisfactory for
those who dread sea sickness The only
trouble left them will be that Of choosing
their mode of ocomotion-whether by rail-
way carriage, omnibus, cab or velocipede.
Places of refuge, watch houses and alarm
bells will be placed on each pile, with pow
erful light.
The authors of this gigantic scheme believe
that the foundations may be constructed by
means of compressed air diving bells, the
depth of the strait between Calais and Dover
not beng, on an average, more than from
twenty-five to thirty-nine meters, and in few
places exceeding fifty meters. The bridge
will cost S00,000,000 francs, its metallic
weight will amount to 1900, 900 tons, and it
might be constructed in six years The
scheme will shortly be submitted for exami-
nation to an international technical commit
tee When this examination has been COM
pleted, the Channel Bridge society will apply
for a concession to the French and English
governments, from which it will ask for no
subsidy. Under these conditions the con-
cession might be easily granted and the work
Immediately begun. In few years the
commerce of the two nations would benefit
from the simplifcstion introduced into their
relations by the execution of a work which
might be considered as one Of the most i'm
portant Of the century,-Paris Temps.

THE SENsE2 OF SMELL.
Concerning Its Developments in the Beasts

Concerning Its Development In the Beasts
of the Field.
Apparently developed In a much greater
degree than that Of horses is the scentingl
power of cattle. Most animals seem to identi-
fy their young by their smell The barbara
Gus custom still prevails throughout the
country of placing the hide of butchered
calf before its mother to stop her mournful
lowing. 1t would be rating human acumen
rather high to suppose that a mother could
recognize her baby by its skin, yet COW will
identify the bloody relic of her offspring and
instantly cease her noisy grief. Yard fed
cattle nose their hay filled racks and bins,
and from the many varieties of dried fodder
select only such as will please their palates
and nourish their bodies.
Cows eat many kinds of fungi-the COM
mon puffball when young, mushrooms, fairy
ring champignon, and some wood growing
toadstools, by which their milk is much
affected; but byfar the greater number they
pass untouched with a contemptuons sniff.
The pig, from the we'll known and proverb-
ial length of its combination nose, would
naturally be expected to have en-
larged olfactory sense, and so it has.
When its omnivorous appetite is con-
sidered, and it is remembered that it seeks
the greater part of its food by blowing
under the surface of the ground to obtain it,
where it cannot see and must detect it by the
process of smelling before it can get it to its
mouth TO taste it, its discernment Of the
edible and non-edible from the countless
things its nose encounters Is, to say the
least, highly complimentary to that much
derided organ. 1t is said that "learned pigs"
they are worthy of capitals are first trained
to their card playing accomplishments by
placing grains of corn under such cards as
they are afterward by signs instructed to
move.
The ground mole, with fur covered eyes,
capable at the best of discerning bright light
only, discovers and chooses food in its sub
terranean cropping by its long, delicately con-
structed nostrils. Sheep are even more dainty
than cattle in selecting their nourishment,
and, like all other animals, depend almost
entirely upon the sense of smell Lambs,
after a long separation from their mothers,
will seek them out in q large herd But e1-
perience goes to show that sight and hearing
are auxiliary to scent in some cases. as lambs
frequently fail to recognize their mothers

The Eject OF Tight shoes.

Chicago Herald: a lady who visited
Hooley's theater the other evening suf :
iesed through the first pley of the bill
with exceedingly tight shoes. When
the curtain fell she confided her suffer
ings to her husband, and he suggested
that she sl5ly remove her shoes till the
performance was over. This she did,
and the consequent relief afforded her
allowed her proper enjoyment of the
other plays When the curtain went
down for the last time she discovered
to her borrow that her feet had swoolen
IN the warm atmosphere OF fhe house
that she could not get the tight shoes
even over her tees. As they had only
to walk to the fremont house, and es
the. lady had on black stockings, her
husband told her to do the shoes up in
the programme and walk along as
though nothing had happened. This
she did, and they started to move ont
slowly with the crowd. The lady walk
led along comfortably until near the
door, when suddenly she began 60
jump and cavort around es though mad.
Her etookinged feet had struck an ex-
ceedingly warm register, and the heat
had curled her feet out Of shape during
her brief soiourn on it. When she struck
the stone sidewalk outside chill re.
placed the feverish feeling, and
when she reaohed the fremont she swore
never to wear tight shoes to the theatre
again. 3Y

Ing, the Indications point surely to the
conclusion that the republican candidates
have carried every doubtful state except
New jersey by handsome msiorities, and
regained control of the house of repre-
sentatives. Returns are too scattered
and incomplete to give figures that will
last. But there is no mistaking the sig.
nificance CT reports up 20 date, and no
resisting the conclusion to which they
point After four years of trial, the coun-
try has seized the first opportunity to
cast the democratic party from power,
and TO restore the control Of the govern
ment to the hands that administered il
so long and so worthily. The center OF
national interest throughout, was, of
course, the great pivotal state, New
York. In that state there has occnrred
the tremendous revolution that was so
clearly foreshadowed in the dispatches
sent to the Pioneer Press during the last
week Of the campaign. In New York
city and Brooklyn, Mr.. Cleveland made
gains which, in view of the
immense increase OF repatriation,
are but moderate. Through
out the rural counties the gains for
Harrison heap up in way to Justify and
fulfill the most ssnguine productions. At
the rate of increase which has been
maintained uniformly since returns from
the country began to come in, the re-
publican national ticket will come down
to the Harlem river with fully 10000
plurality over its opposition. There are
| no sources from which democratic gains
to Offset this can be derived. The game
ia mp, and the latest bulletins OF the
New York Sun, which prides itself upon
the accuracy OF its election returns as
well as its fidelity to party, .concede the
state to Harrison and Morton by q
plurality of from 900 TO 10000.
This is enough to settle the national
contest. But this 10 not all. By the
