FLIES THAT FLY IN WATER

Specimen* Captured by Scientiit* Appear to Enjoy Themselves Immensely Under Water. More tlmn 50 year* usin Sir John Luhtiock surpriseil imlurnlijits with uu account of u il.v which he ha<1 <lis covered swinitninK, or flying, in a basin of wntnr dipped from an Kngllsh pond. Another .s|)eclmen soon after ward rewarded the search of another naturalist, and since that time other aquatic flies have been found in England. like the tlrst, swimming in water taken from a pond. Other observers have not been so fortunate, and some have searched many years for a specimen of this curious insect without success. Last May, however, during an excursion of a microscopical club, one of its members found a specimen of the long-sought-for fly in a vial of pond water. This led to a mere careful investigation, the resuit of which was the discovery of five more specimens, which were placed in a small glass tank tilled with water, where their movements could be observed. These flies, which are so small that they can only he well seen with the aid of a glass, appear to enjoy themselves immensely under the water, moving about rapidly with the help of their wings. Tile five whose capture has just been referred to remained under water for four days without leaving It at any time, unless they may have done so while the observer was necessarily absent. They appear to belong to the family group of luirntarldae, or "fairy flies.”

"While New Yorkers are speculating about the building of a tunnel under the Narrows to connect Staten island with Brooklyn, Frenchmen are discussing the possibility of the construction of a tunnel under the Straits

of Gibraltar.

"Sub-sea and aerial travel are comparatively recent: sub-land conimuuicution, which is infinitely harder to achieve hut involves less scientific knowledge, is ns ancient sis the Egyptians and American Indians,” says a bulletin from (tie Washington, I>. C„ headquarters of the National Ueo*

graphic society.

"Though it is probable that the much discussed tunnel beneath the Lnglish channel wWl not materialize for some time to come, a tunnel Joining the continent of Kurope with Africa, should a study of the geological conformation of the Mediterranean prove it feasible, would put France In direct communication through Spain with her colonies in northern Africa. “Though modern tunnel projects make the layman- gasp at the audacity with which engineers burrow through age-old mountains, unmindful of seemingly impossible barriers, tunneling has been known since very early times. “Egyptians, Numidians and American Indians hollowed out underground passages to their tombs or temples, and early Inhabitants on the Euphrates [ temporarily diverted the waters of that i mighty river aside while they bored into the soft ground beneath the river and walled up the passage with brick masonry. The Homans bad more pretentious Ideas and excavated a 3,000foot passage through the Posillpo

The second passage of jfj | \ie Simplon runnel, the longest in the Jg j world, will lie otiened to tourist trafUj I fic early in 1022. Thus will be given 1 an opportunity for repairing Hie first of these tunnels which has. since its opening in 1905, borne the burden of the travel between France and Italy through Switzerland. Above the roof of this tunnel, the 1214 miles of which constitute the longest railway tunnel in the world, rises the Simplon pass. "The Simplon tunnel was designed with a double passage, each section of which measures Its 1 ,,, feet wide, hut heretofore only one has been com-

pleted.

“One of the most interesting rail road lines through the Alps Ms the (jotihard line with its 50 tunnels connecting Switzerland and Italy. The St. tJotthurd tunnel, which is between nine and ten miles long, is older than the Simplon. "Since the building of these and oilier tunnels through the Alps, the famous old passes which have figured so conspicuously In history are becoming less frequented. Romance still clings to Mont Genevre, probably crossed by Hannibal, and surely by Caesar in 58 B. C. and to Mont (Vnis. which heard the tread of the Frankish kings as they marched into Lombardy. Then there are the little St. Bernard which Caesar also used, and the Great St. Bernard, famous for Its hospice founded in 859, and refounded in I lie Eleventh century by St. Bernard of Menthon, which gave succor to the lost and needy among the pHgrims who were on their way to Home.

A Long Mining Tunnel. “When tlie miners in the Cripple Creek gold districts found that they must dig deeper into the earth for the precious metal, water poured in upon them and hampered their operatiohs. Pumps failed to relieve tlie situation, so hands got together and it was decided that a tunnel must he built. Thus the Boose veil Deep Drainage tunnel, one of the longest mining tunnels in the world, which was completed in 192), came into being. “On the Toulouse to Barcelona railway through the Pyrenees mountains, which is now in the process of construction, there are ten short tunnels In the region of the Ariege gorge, tlie longest of which is in the form of a spiral in order to effect a climb of 207 feet up the mountains. There is also an International tunnel is the Paris to Madrid route whlcb p.i«ses 2.520 feet below the peak of Tobasso. “The New Zealand Alps have s'ivp
