Detbmt Tunnel. The experimental borings tor a site for the proj :cteil tunnel under the tiver at Detroit have now virtual ly been concluded. Not only have tbe in vest'gations proven tbo entire practicability of'liiii itupcrtan: project in question, but lt:e physical faii,r-s of all tbe sitrraindiogs relating Is tho question cf its mcej.aful consiuimation aro found to be all thatcould bo desired. Tho main channel runs close to tiiu Canadian tiiiore, which is t ha only feature iu the who 0 enterprise iu which the least change cjul.l be wivied ler. involving as it mint the irceesily of a long e.aV.vi tion upon tb'.t shore, as the tunnel cannot comtnenco too ascent until the deepest wa ter is passed. The greatest de,ih of water is found about 1,200 feet, fnjin shore, where it is about 43 foet, upon the Detroit side. Tbe depth ubovo named (43 feet) umy be considered the maximum, except sofar us it is varied by boles. The depth of the bor iius is CS fi el from the surface. The aouudiugs of the rivr vary somewhat from those which biveboen made under t!ie aus pices ol government, but this is very natu ral iu view ot the difficulty of t king accu rate soundings with tbe lead i.i a current of three and a half miles n:i hour.

Tbo Doctor quietly usked him how many bomls ho held. '-Ten thousand doilars," replied the frightened victim, "and it's ail I have in tho world, I'm a r. lined man." "Il iveyou your bonds with you'.'" usked tiio Doctor. "Yes, hero they are," bo replied. "Well, sir," said t!io Doctor, l'il give you my cnock for the a'liouutor' tlieiu. And I will lhauk you to say to anybody else whom you may meet having claims of any kind .igain it tills Con cern, that they will bo paid on preeu'a limi." "Why, Doctor, are the bonds good?' asked tho astonished bondholder. "As good is they ever were," replied the Doe tor. "And bas.i't tho concern been heavily bwiaiiie-i?" .ot that I Know ot, rerncit the Doctor, "at.d if it lias been swindl 'd in the maun' i r charged, it dots not uMVct ils linuncial tend. turn to the extent ol oue cent," "U'i, well, then, I don't want to sell my br)ir.K," onswered tlio bondiiolder, as he took up his lut and depurted. , "LainuieiB & Aider, ure -idling ell' leseut I afvgL at cost.,. A Novel Ram.ro vd TI10 latest novelty in railroading, the practicability of which has heen thoroughly demonstrated in France, 1s that of n single track railway, j The novel fealure or the invention consists of a single rail, like a long ribbon, extend ing along ono side of the ro.id. . One wheel placed nt the forward pirt alone bears on the rail, whilo the other two rest on the ground. The cars are lurnisbed with two wheels, placed underneatb in their lun axis, wblch rest on the rail and support thoir weight, while two other wheels, des tined to preserve their equilibrium, aro placed on tho outside. The experiment with n lilipulinn locomotive, drawing a se ries of cars carrying sixteen petsons. each, is thus described: The track was nbont I nir miles long. While th? train wns run ning Rt a speed of ten miles an hour, it reached a grade of f.irty feet to the mile, which it aseeiuh d -iitnmit nny nppnren' slackening t.f speed. Tbe lirst result was coucIu.mvo in f.ivor of tho systenT proponed, as it showed beyond a doubt tho possibility of overcoming t'.m difficulties Inherent to the ascent of very steep grades A portion o! th: road f resented a series of very short curves, of a radius of only sixly-ffvo feet; thesu t!,e train followed with marvolous smoothness and regularity. On tne return trip thi brakes were si perfectly adj iHed that the velocity on tbo r,ipid descents was kept even at nil times. For local purposes the sys'om seems to be well adapted. The locomotive ued un tho occasion weighed only three tons. The cost ol such a line in Franco U cHliauteu ut about $.i.K50 per mile. Victor Hugo lately r,ave a new proof of bis modesty.
