ChanneU/Pridge and Tunnel.
I have to-Uay seen M. 'Varilla , the
author of the bridge-tunnel echemo
of communication oetween Fiance
and England , telegraphs the Paris
correspondent of the London Daily
News. SL Varilla singularly resem.
bles Napoleon ; but , notwithstanding
his name and appearance , he does
not own to any Corsican blood. In
speaking of his plan , M. Varilla told
me that it had met with an excellent
reception at the ministry of public
works , and that M. Yves Guyofc is
soon to submit it to the ministerial
council. I asked whether the sum of
16,000,000 livresgiven m the papers
at the cost of the bridge-tunnel was
not under the mark. lie inlormed
me that it was a great deal above ib.
The estimate is 10,000,000 livres ;
but 12,000,000 livres would certain
ly not be exceeded. In reply to are -
mark that it would be a task of ex
treme difficulty to make a tunnel ,
both ends of which would be sub
merged , and both of them half a
mile from the shore , the engineer
stated that the technical difficulties
were by no means as great as they
mightat firstappear. M. Varillathen
explained that his idea was to con-
stuct a lift at the extremity of either
pier by which trains might be raised or
lowered. How was this to be done
without letting the water into the
tunnel ? The idea was to construct
two square tubes of iron , about 90
feet in height , GOO feet long , and 400
feet wide. These tubes would be
bailt on rafts of special design , and
on a calm day towed out to the end
of each pier , where they would be let
down straight into the sea. Stones
would then be shot down from barges
round the four sides of the tubes , so
as to form breakewaters round them ,
and protect them from the action of
currents and storms. A peaceful lake
would thus be formed within the
tubes. "Just so , " I said , "but how
could a tunnel be made without hav
ing it flooded ? "In this way , " re
plied Mr. Varilla , "the iron tube
would rest on a bed of sand , having
beneath it an absolute impervious
stratum through which the tunnel
would run. "When the tubes and the
breakwaters round them are in po
sition at the end of the piers , I bore
down by hammering with specially
constructed steam hammers. When
the marley chalk is reached there will
be a second and smaller tube let
< town into the first , leaving sufficient
space to admit of a wall of concrete
being built between the two. The
water in the artificial lake will
then be pumped out. and the scoop
ing out through the impervious
stratum may be commenced down to
the level of the tunnel. There will be
two great tubes of 160 or 170 feet
or more in height , by which trains
will be raised and lowered. " ' 'Your
lifts , " I said , "will be of hitherto un
known power. " "Not at all , " was
the reply , "at the canal otFontinettes ,
in the north of France , there are
elevators which raise a total weight
of 1,000 tons. My elevators will
need to bear only a weight of about
200 tons. The general technical dif
ficulties in what concerns the pipers
will not be great. The force of the
tide and wind would not be greater
than at the Forth bridge. The via
ducts between the coasts and the
lifts would be constructed on the can-
till over system. In regard to the de
fensive question , each country would
be absolute mistress of the viaduct
and the tube at her end of the tun
nel. " "One more question : How
would Great Britian be able to pro
tect herself from invasion ? " "Noth
ing easier. To begin with , she would \
destroy the elevator or flood the j
tunnel. It would even be sufficient
to destroy a part of the viaduct at i
her end. A gunboat , or a Krupp gun
commanding the elevator tube could
effectively block the passage without
deffinitely ruining the tunnel. " "And
where did you get your idea , M. i
Varilla ? " I asked , "In thinking ;
out a plan for the Paris Metropoli- <
tan railway , I was brought to think
that mixed systems lent themsplves
best to the solution of great technical
and other difficulties. When reflect
ing upon the two opposite systems
for a canal railway , it occurred to
me that the bridge systems would do
away with many of the objections to
the tunnel scheme. "
Arriving at Conclusions.
The doctors have talked so much
about heart failure that now when a
man has a pain he sits down and
jvaits for his heart to fail. Nervous
people , although in comparatively
2jood health , awake at morning sur
prised to find that their hearts did
lot make an assignment during the •
light.
Old Jerry Budd , coroner of a re-
note county in Texas , had so much :
; rouble in determining diseases that ,
le fell into the habit of saying heart
ailure , it mattered not what sort of (
hsease or accident took the victim .
) ff. One day a man was found dead '
n the road , with a bullet hole
hrough his body. Jerry summoned i
i jury and , after holding an iuquest , ;
lecided that the man had died of 1
learfc failure. , t
"Yes , " said one of the jurymen , J
'but what's the matter with this <
mllet hole ? " i
"Oh , that bullet hole is all right. *
le might havelived on a little longer
f some fellow hadn't shot him , but s
tis heart would have failed sooner or *
titer. " i
Several days afterward a man was JS
ound hanging from a tree. Jercy t
lecided that heart failure was the
ause. i
"But holdton ' * * said a morbidly
particular follow , "what figure does
this rope cut in the premises ? "
"Oh , the rope , " said Jerry. "Well ,
I hadn't noticed that. Men , what
about this rope ? "
No one expressed an opinion and
Jerry , after examining the rope , said ;
"There's nothing strange about the
rope that I can see. "
"Yes , but wait a minute. " remarked
the morbidly particular fellow.
"This heart/failure business has gone
far enough and I want something
else in this case especially as this
rope gives us a clue to the cause of
death. "
"I reckon you are rfoht , " Jerry re
plied. "I reckon this rope might be
accepted a3 a clue. Say , did any
of you know this feller ? "
"Yes , " some one replied , "I did. "
"What sort of a feller was he ? "
"Didn't amount to mnch. "
"AVa'n't no account to the com *
munity , I reckon ? "
"Not at all. "
"Well , wa'n't it the general belief
that he would sooner or later be
hung ? "
"Wall , then , " Jerry continued , "if
it was the general belief that he
would be hung , why we'll return it as
a case of natural death , knowing
that it was natural for the Teller to
die and having reasons for believing
that he would naturally bo hung. "
Arkansaw Traveler..c

In Shakespeare's Time.
In the time of Shakespeare domes
tic service was in a state of transi"
tion ; the old system was decaying'
the new one springing into life ; and
if one may be allowed to judge from
casual references scattered through
out the plays of the poet , the new
order does not appear to ha\e been
altogether satisfactory. In "King
Lear" to take one example Kent
denounces Oswald , the steward , as a
"knave , a rascal , an eater of broken
meats : a base , proud , shallow , beg
garly , three-suited , hundred pound ,
worsted-stocking knave ! " From
Shakespeare's plays it further ap
pears that the servants of the period
were companions and contidauts of
their master , and that they were
generally sly and pilfering and play
ers of practical jokes. In greatfami-
lies it was customary for servants to
take an oath of fidelity on their en
trance into office. Posthumus al
ludes to the usage when he says of
Imogene's servants :
"Her attendants are
All sworn and honorable. "
The condition of servants at this
period was therefore peculiar , and it
is clear that they were ruled by a
curious mixture of stern discipline
and Great laxity. One mode of en-1
forcing obedience was by imposing
forfeits or fines , some of which are
enumerated by Sir J. Harrington in
his "Nugoo Antiquoe. " For being
absent from prayers , for uttering an
oath , for leaving a door open , or
"for any follower visiting the cook , "
a fine was inflicted , while in another
set of rules it is provided that
"If any one tliK rule doth break ,
And cut more bread than he can eat ,
Shall to the bo one penny pay. "
In case an offender should refuse to
pay "direct without resistance , " pro
vision is made at the conclusion that
"Each one here shall be assistance.
And he that doth refuse to aid.
By him one penny shall be paid. "

Senator Ingalls studied law in

was admitted to the bar started to
Kansas with $70 in hisinsidepocket.
He opened an office near Atchison.
His law library was made up ofthree
books , and the whole of his furniture
was a chair and a table. His first
client was a carpenter , and his fee
was * paid in kind. He got a table and
a. high desk for his legal services , and
this desk painted creen is kept in the
fngalls family to-day as one ot its
