WONDERFUL
One Out on the Plan of "A Corkscrew
Others Straight and Hong.

One Out on the Plan of n Corkscrew,
Others Straight and Long.
On the st. Cothard railway, not far
from the famous long tunnel, there is Il
remarkable tunnel on the plan of u
corkscrew, says the Boys Own Paper.
In the descent OF the mountain it was
found impossible to lay out u safe in
cline on a straight line or ordinary
curve, and the engineers got over the
difficulty by driving a tunnel which en-
tiers the mountain high on the side,
describing a circle through the solid
rock, constantly descending as it does
so, r%eappears under itself on the noun
tain side some distance below then
dives into the rock, again circles and
sinks as it circles until il again energies
into daylight under itself, when the
line resumes its course down hill in a
more familiar way.
The making of a tunnel like this is as
| striking an example Of engineering
skill as the world can show, and many
very skillful things have been done by
| our railway makers. The art Of tunnel
ing is an old one, but it eve attained
! such perfection as distinguishes it 10
day.
The re is n wonderful tunnel at Chi
cago driven in 1862, two miles out un-
der the bottom OF the lake, so that the
city may obtain n water supply Tree
from the refuse of the city. This tun
mel, which has now been doubled, has
two shafts, one on land and one in the
bed of the lake, rising through a cribf
which crib is defended by a breakwater,
and serves rs the foundation OF n light
house. This vas IL difficult work TO man-
age, owing to its being through clay
and quicksand, but it is a mere nothing
as to length. There is, for instance, the
Croton aqueduct from Croton down to
New York, which is driven through
solid rock for thirty-three aud one
fourth miles. The Hoosac tunnel is four
and th~ree-quarter miles in length and
is tHenty-siX feet wide and-twenty-One
and a half feet high.
In Peru, on the Lima IL Oroyo rail-
road, there are sixty tunnels in 100
miles, the longest being on the summit
of the pass through the Andes. This
tunnel is two miles higher above sea
level than either the St. Gothard or
Mont Cents. and all the tools and stores
and food had TO be carried up the noun
tains on mule back.
When canals were introduced into
Europe, tunnels became necessary to
avoid excessive lockage, and with the
railways unnels became quite common,
OF the older railway tunnels in Eng
land, the longest 10 the Woodhead, on
the Manchester & Leeds line, which IL
three miles long, and consists OF two
parallel tunnels, one for each track.

Tired of tn. Dry Policy.
Minnedl oils Tribune lRep.l

The great issue of batJle was prohibition.
The republicans forced the fighting on this
line, while their opponents shrewdly and
successfully managed to unite the license
and free whisky elements in opposition.
Prohibition in Iowa is not secured by the
constitution, ana the election, therefore,
would seem to indicate that the people ara
tired of the dry policy. Following so
closely upon the heels of the prohibition
victories IN the Dakotas. the verdict of Iowa
IS entitled to serious consideration.
