Of clerks who base their claims upon other
considerations than just deserts. There ia

The present plants and experience will
then be of additional value. The second
tunnel will be of cast iron, as IL Is supe-

tunnels.
The St Clair tunnel is 5000 feet long.
To the rivers edge on the American
side 1t is 1,7l6 feet; on the Canadian,

The outside diameter of the tunnel is

the river. At its lowest point the top
OF the tunnel is ST. SO feet below the
level OF the river. From each portal to
the r.ver the grade Is foot down for
every so feet; under the river, foot
down In every 1000 feet toward the
Canadian side to that drainage shaft.
Over 2,OO0,OOO cubic feet of soil was
taken from the tnnnel itself The cast
iron lining OF the tunnel weighed
81, 600, 900 pounds. To fasten this lining

gine, an air-blower with a capacity OF
10000 cubic feet of air per minute,
machine shop with machines for tunnel
work, a water pump for the pit, and an
electric light plant The tunnel will be
lighted by electricity. The electric plant
is in Sarnia, where permanent brick
boiler and engine rooms have been
erected
The great cuttings for the approaches
were commenced New Years. 1889.
Each cutting was made about sixty feet
feet deep at the portal. The Canadian
cutting at its broadest portion is 260 feet
wide, the American about 200 feet wide
Into each pit inclined tracks were laid
for engines TO haul out the dirt On the
banks derricks were erected for hosting
the soil In September, 1890, steam
shovels began work on the cuttings On
each side OF the river two shoyels were
used, each attended by an engine and
train Of fat cars Several hundred men
were employed night and day, lime
lights being used at night, and the soil
was removed in layers. The work of
these shovels was greatly hindered by
rains and numerous landslides occurred.
The tunnel walls are made of cast
iron, suggested by Chief Engineer Hob
son. In the circle are thirteen seq
ments and q key. Each segment is
feet 10 inches long. IS inches wide, and
2 inches thick, with faeges inside of ~

segment were cast 30 holes, In each

Balmaceda.

Balmaceda has done his country q
service by putting an end to his life
Wheeling Intelligencer.
He sought to be dictator against the
will of his Congress and his people. He
was beaten. Too weak TO succeed he
died a towards death.-Cincinnati En- :
quirer.
He was the cause of the war, which
has cost many thousand lives and tens
of millions of dollars, and outside the
members of his family there are few who
will mourn his death.-St Louis Globe
Democrat.
v--fne- manner OF MS death confirms all
of the reports OF his treachery to the
republic. In his case suicide was con
fession of dishonOr more convincing than
his dying prostestations OF good faith.
Kansas City Star.
The whole lesson teaches that the day
of dictatorship is past. His removal
will be a blessing TO Chilli, and will no
doubt hastnn the time when complete
harmony will be restored and prosperity
will again reign.-Milwaukee News.
Balmaceda in death has none TO mourn
him as in life he had none to love him,
The lifo OF the tyrant in this nineteenth
century is not pleasant one in any re-
spect. His fate should be an awful
warning to others with mad ambitions
