Others Straight and Long On tliu St. Uuthurd railway, not far from the f unous lmg tunnel, there is a remarkable tunnei on the plan nfn corkscrew. In the descent t! the mountain it was found im ps9iiie iw lay out a sale incline on a straight line or ordinary curve, and the engineer got over the difficulty Ijy driving a tunnel which enters the mountain h'vh on t!:e aide, constantly describing a circle through the solid rock, constantly descending as :t aoas so, reappears under itself oa the mountain sid; somedi.nnce below, then dives in to the rock, sain circles and sinks as it circles until it again emerges into daylight under itself, when the line resumes it3 course down hill in a more familiar wav. The making f 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 et' tunneling is an old ne, but it never attained such pertection as dis tinguishes it fo day. There is a wsndeit'u! tunnel at Ciiicay driven in 1852, two miles out under the bottom o' the loks, so that tht city may obtain a water supply free from the refuse of the city. Thi tunnel, which has now been dou bled, has two shafts, one on land and one in the bed of the lake, rising through a crib, which crib is defended by a breakwater, and serves as the foundation of a light house. Ttis was a difficult work to manage, owing to its being through clay ::nd ijuicka ind, but it is a mere nothing ns to ieugth. This is; for instance, the Croton aqueduct from Crottn down to New York, which is driven through solid rock for thirty-three and one iburth miles. The IIosic tunnel is four nnd tures-touth miies in length, and m twen.j-six feet wide and twenty-one and one-hail feet high. In Peru, c;i the Lima & Oroyo r.iilroaJ, there are tr.tj tunnels in a hundred miles, the longest oeing oa the summit of the pass througli the And.-s. This tunnel is two rni'e? higher above .ea level tii::n either the .t. Goth anl or Mont Cenis, and all the tools and stores had to be carried up Vuc mountains on mule back. Chinese cheap labor is lnaknig it J sclt lolt even in Lurofie. Swedish matciunalvcrs have uatit iceently controlled t!io principal markets of the world, tnd immense quantities f their product have been exported ia every direction. The Chinese have gone into the business, how ever. and. in accordance with their usui! custm. have commeaccd by cutting down prices to a limit which" CR'innt be reached even by the cheapest f Kurojiean cheep labor.

It Will Contain Autograuli.s of the President and All iJovernors. Spokane Falls Review j Mrs. Biin kerliofF, the secretary j of tlie ladies's society of the First i congregational Church, was very I much delighted a few davs ao ! over the receipt of a letter from ! President Harrison inclo:.irg a very handsome piece of white silk, :;cross which were the autographs wi iiiu i ilk iinu 1113 n iit uaiuu : November 1st. J The piece of lilk is destined to ; form the center s(ji!ire Ot the cen ; tenuial ijuiit, upon w hich the ladies i ol tie First Congregational Church i are hard at wrk. There will be 'squares" from .every state and j territory in the Union, with auto graphs of the Governors and their f wives, if married, on each. The ladies have also secured a square frm each member of the l'resi dent's Cabinet, and in the arrange j tnent of the quilt these will im mediately surround the President's square, ttie "joveruor s squares in tarn sui rounding them. A square has been secured from the lodian d purtiuent ot the Fish University ot NBhyilie, Tenn., anil is of particular interest, from the fact that the First Congrega tional Church of Spokane had its origin in the old Indian mission. It is expected to have the quilt for sale by December 1st, the pro ceeds to be devoted to the building lundofthe church. It will be a very clegint ufl'air when completed as it is to be sold to the highest bidder. A good round sum ought to be realized for it. The quilt sheuid never be allowed to ieaye Spi!;ane. WOKKED j;y THE Sl'X. A Clever Invenlivu Displayed at the I'aris Kxiiosition. Saeilusliorn News. Oueofthf. most uotable inven tion, displayed at the Paris Exhi bition is an apparatus fcr trans forming the heat of the sun iuto motive power for pumping water and other mechanical uses. It is the device of a French inventor named Charles Tillier. The apparatus is of great interest as forethadjwing the time when solar heat, in combination with electric transmission of force, will be made to furnish motive power for all engines and take the place of coal and steam, a change which will vastly cheapen manufactures and travel aud greatly enhance human comlort the world over. The heat which comes to the earth in thesuu's beams is, as has long been known, the equivalent of Irani one to live or more horse power lr every square yard et the earth's surface, according to the latitude aud the season or the year. The utilization of this wase heat, its conversion iutu unable j power, has wen the study of in venters, an 1 much time and great sums of moiu'3 have been spent upon it. M.
