A Problem About Corn.

Here is a puzzle in geometry. 1t does
not require a skilled mathematician,
however, TO solve it.
1t is required TO demonstrate geo
metricallyJ that a larger crop Of corn
can be grown on an acre Of level ground
than on an acre Of slanting ground.
The stalks Of corn are supposed 70
grow perpendicularly in both cases, and
all other particulars, such as fertility of
the soil and the like, 20 be the same.
The ingenious reader will probably
have no trouble in solving the problem

An Engine on a Gold Piece.

The smallest engine we have any
record of is that made by D. A. Buck,
of Waterbury, Conn. The engine,
boiler, governor, and pumps all stand
on space 7-16 of an inch square and
are about of an inch high. The en-
CINE has 148 distinct parts. held to-
gether by 50 screws. Three drops of
water fills the boiler to OVERLOOKING
The diameter of the cylinder is 1926 of
an inch, the length of stroke 1882 of an
inch. The whole engine weighs but
grains, not including base-plate.
Levi Taylor, an ingenious mechanic
of Indianola, Iowa, has constructed an
engine almost equal to the Waterbury
wonder. This pygmy was on exhibit
ton at the Centennial at Philadelphia
in 1876. It is built on twenty five
cent gold piece, the whole outfit weigh
ing but a fraction over three grains.
1t must have been quite contrast to
the enormous Corliss engine when on
exhibition in the same building. Tay-
lor's engine, while not as small as that
made by the Waterbury mechanic, is a
wonder that will be better appreciated
when the reader is informed that it
would take 146 such engines to weigh
one ounce avoirdupois.

embraced the situation, and we can
further assert that the girl was in it.

pleted in January. 1891, with perhaps
the exception of Il little plastering. the
delay on the approaches prevents open

celebration of this important interna-
tlonal occurrence. The leading officials
OF the Governments of Canada and the
United States will be invited. besides
many other distinguished people. 1t is
expected that the banquet will occur un.

ASAD1AN PORTAL TO ST. CLAIR TUNNEL,

by brilliant minds and wonderful inyen-
tons.
The American shield started JULY II.
1880; the Canadian Sept. 81, 1889: they
met at nearly midnight of Aug. 80, 1890.
The Canadian had gone 1855. 10 feet.
and the American 3,313.s5 feet. Work
had been pushed night and day, in shifts
OF eight hours, for electricity lighted
the shields and tunnel, and early compile
ton OF the tunnel was great object.
The average progress of each shield was
ten feet day; but one day twenty-seven
feet and ten inches was accomplished,
and the record of tunnel construction
was excelled.
Chief Engineer Hobson advised having
these tunnel walls of cast iron. Each
section was composed of key and 10
segments, each segment being feet 10
inches long, IL inches wide, and 2 inches
thick. Each had inside flanges inches
deep and an inch and three-quarters
thick. In each segment were holes in
each end and IL holes in each side fange.
These 32 holes were occupied by steel
bolts, each seven-eighths of an inch in
diameter. Each section Of the COM
pleted tunnel was circle whose radius
was feet and II inches. Each section
required for the longitudinal joints Sc
bolts, and for the circular joints 157
bolts, total of 213 bolts for each foot
and half of the tunnel. 1t required
s2s, $50 bolts to fasten together the ~, 900
tons OF the east-iron lining of this tun-
mel. Each segment was heated and
dipped into vat of coal tar. By the time
it was cool the tar was dried in. This
method was the happy thought of a
workman. Another workman invented
a tool which increased three times the
rapidity of loading the clay upon the
cars.
Tunneling was nearly stopped at the
line of the river by water and quicksand.
Compressed air was tried. On each side
of the river, beneath the shore lines,
air-tight bulkheads of brick and cement
were built across the line of the tunnel.
Above each car-track and on each side
of the bulkheads were erected two air.
locks. each seventeen feet long and seven
feet in diameter. with air-tight doors at
each end. The outside door would be
opened and men or mules admitted to
the air-lock. Horses could not stand the
pressure. The door being closed and the
air-valve opened, the air-pressure would
be increased until t, e atmosp leres of
the lock equaled the atmospheres inside
the inner portion of the tunnel, when
the inner door could be opened, and the
men or animals admitted to the works.
1t took several minutes to properly in

Origin of the Camera.

The camera was invented by an
italian named Baptista Porta, though
it was not at first used for photograph
ing. It was in reality dark room,
into which the light was admitted
through little round hole in one side.
The rays Of light coming from objects
outside of this room entered it through
this aperture, and made a picture on
the other side of the room, glowing in
all the beauty and color OF nature it.
self, but rather indistinct and upside
down.
This dark room was contrived by
Porta about the middle of the 10th
century. He improved it, later, by
placing a glass lens in the aperture,
and outside mirror which received
the rays of light and reflected them
through the lens, SO that the image
upon the opposite wall within was
made much more brighter, more dis
tinct, and in natural or erect position.
This was really the first camera,
obscura, an invention which is enjoyed
to the present day, being situated often
upon a hilltop, where picturesque
country surrounding may be reflected
through lens, which is placed in the
center of the conical roof.
Now, our modern Photographic cam
era is merely small camera-obscura
in its simplest form, carrying lens at
one end and ground glass screen at
the other. It is, however, often much
more complicated in its construction.

me, have spent many pleasant hours

want you to put down my vote to the
wing theory.
know the bird has little mouth
talk, or note, which have often heard
when birds were mating and strutting
on the ground in the spring, and the
same note [ have heard often from the
old bird when 1 have been catching
the young chicks; but the sound or
note is not the same as the whistle of the
continuous-fying, full-plumaged bird,
and have so often had the slightly
wounded bird in my hand, and held by
the bill or feet, make, as I am sure,
the same whistling with his wings.
that I cannot be mistaken; and the
bird when not in plumage, held the
same way, does not make the whistle.
I know that we do not all hear, see nor
think alike; but any person who will
take full-plumaged woodcock that is
lively. hold it by the bill or foot, and
let it have full use of its wings, cannot
but be convinced the whistle is made
with the wings.
Audubon should be pretty good au-
thority, and he records the noise as
made nv the WINGS. and among all NV
bird acquaintances do not remember
one bird that has a continuous mouth
note when flying, but very many have
a wing whistle when flying, such as

portals these walls are feet high and
feet wide; near the beginning of the
cutting they are feet high and 3 feet
wide.
It was estimated that the tunnel would
cost $2,50O,O00, plants, materials, and
labor included. Not much will be left
of that sum. 1t is likely that second
tunnel will be built beside this one If
so, this ones plant and experience will
be quite serviceablc. If it is built it will
be made of cast-iron, as that has been
found to be better than masonry.
The tunnel and its approaches have a
total length of IL, 725 feet, divided as fol-
lows: Canadian cutting, 3,192 feet;
American cutting, 1883 feet; from Cana
dian portal to waters edge, 1884 feet;
from American portal to waters edge,
1,716 feet; tunnel under water, 2,29O
feet: total length of tunnel, 6,OOO feet.
Grades in the cuttings are one foot in
fifty feet. in the tunnel, one foot in 1000
feet. The greatest depth of water
above the tunnel is 40 AZ feet: and the
least depth of clay above the tunnel is
s.43. The number of feet from the level
of the water to the top of the tunnel is
81. SO feet; and the number of feet from
the level of the water to the rock, SO feet.
Considerable difficulty was met in
selecting locomotives for the tunnel SER
vice, as most kinds emitted too much
smoke and gas Coke engines have been
chosen. Each locomotive can haul two
dozen loaded cars. One engine will be
at each side of the St. Clair River, and
another will be kept in steam ready for

brick and concrete were placed in the
lower half of the tunnel to prevent it
being ousted by the brine from the meat
cars. Above the cement are three drain
age conduits, two thirty inches long, and
one in the middle, eighteen inches square.
over these and their dividing timbers are
wooden ties, nine feet long and eight by
eight inches square. On these ties rest
extra heavy steel Trails, 100 pounds to

wide. On each side of the Trails are
wooden guard rails, ten by twelve inches.
Both sides of the track are planked. All
