Mr. Ballem at once reported the robbery at the police station, but as there was not the slightest clue to rater of the outrage, nothing could be done in the matter. Mr. Ballem is a yeung man, but recently married, and feels his loss keenly. We trust that the burglar will be speedily captured and brought to justice. tne perpet A Railroad Under the Sea. THE SEVERN THE OCEAN. A -TRAIN fUNNEL, 2} , rHROUGH MILES UNDER GOES (From the Cardiff We kely Mail.) The first passenger trains passed through the gigantic tube, linking the shores of Mon- mouthshire and Glouc sstershire on W ednes- day morning. Before those on board quite knew where they were, a shrill whistle, a for it was now nearly broad daylight—and ‘‘We are in!” told them they were “in” and rushing down a clearly perceptble decline toward a pomt a hundred feet below the bed of the broad estuary. and windows down, the first to keep time, the other to test the ventilation. The inrush of the icy cold air, as clear and pure as if the trip across were being made in the old instead of under the channel sudden darkening In a trice watches were out way —over showed the latter was allright. The submarine journey—if such it may be called—proved to be more like a run through a pretty deep cutting than through » tunnel four and a quarter miles long. For about three minutes and a half after entering there was no mistaking the fact that a sharp gradient was being descended, then a momentary rumble as the train passed oyer the curve of the arc—for the tube dips in the centre—and then the lo- ever-decreasing speed, emerge comotive, at an climbed the opposite gradient, to ence more into daylight in 8 minutes and 49 seconds. As before remarked, the ventilation of the tunnel is little short of perfect. Dur- ing the construction of the work a fan eighteen feet in diameter, discharging 60- 000 cubic feet of air per minute, was used. This has now been replaced by a fan forty feet in diameter and twelve feet wide, made on the sae principle as those used at the Mersey and a portion of the Metropolitan tunnels. The tunnel is twenty-six feef wide and twenty feet high from the double line of rails to the crown of the arch inside the brickwork. The rails are laid on longitudinal sleepers. The tun- nel has been lined throughout with vitrified bricks set in cement, and no less than 75, 000.000 bricks have been used in this work. This vitrified brick wall has a thickness of 8 feet in the crown of the arch beneath the ‘* shoots,” but as the tunnel rises from this lowest point ona gradient one in 90 one way and one in 100 toward the Gloucester- shire side, this thickness is gradually re- duced to 2 feet 3 inches. The total length of the Severn Tunnel is 4 miles 624 yards. The St. Gothard Tun- nel is 94 miles, Mont Cenis Tunnel 74 miles; Arlberg Tunnel (Austria), 65 miles there is a tunnel m Massachusetts 4; miles; the Standege Tunnel, on the London and Northwestern, is 3 miles long, and the Box Tunnel rather less. But the special feature of the Severn Tunnel lies in the fact that 2} miles of it have been constructed from 45 to 100 feet below the bed of a rapidly- flowing tidal estuary, offering engineering difficulties which make it the most reimark- able tunnel in the world. eel ~All nnmen TuHovsanps of women bless the d Ly on which Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription was made known to them.
