THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.

*"A tall shaft, a steam engine, an air locomotive, -and a couple of wooden shanties mark the spot destined, it may be v to abut upon f the English mouth of the Channel tunnel—or rather of • a Channel tunnel—for there are other schemes afoot td join London and the extremest 5 point of the Continent of Europe in a continuous railway journey and, without change of carriage. Sir Edftdtd Watkiri airily calculates that the cost of the enterprise in which he is interested would amount to 3,000,000 sterling, and that the tunnel would allow the passage of • 250 trains each way every day# at ah average speed of f®Wy-ffVfe 'miles ah hour. So that the tunnel of .twenty-two miles in . length rSifhthe travelled in half an hour—a speed, be it said, very much higher than that kept up in the longest tunnels of the St Gothard between Switzerland and Italy. At the bottom of the shaft, at the mouth of the boring, no more than seven feet in diameter from end to end —excepting here and there a somewhat wider square opening, techni cally called.a “ turnout”—we found a couple of trollies, fitted with seats on eithctfc'side, ; after the manner of the tram*fearS J dfthe-military train familiar to the habitues of Wimbledon Camp. Running along the sides of the trolly, close to the ground, was a footboard like that attached-tb a railway carriage, and above the seat was a semi-circular hoodflthed "with red baize,.sufficient to head and shoulders from, dropping^wet. nr^pafticles-- of falling debris , but not wide enough to save the legs and feet. By reason of the space taken up, in the lower arc of the circle, ;to. fhake a level floor, along which raUs -were laid, it was necessary that;we should sit with knees drawn up and heads bent during the whole time occupied in journeying to the face of the tunnel and back again.

Solicitor ; J, Bickorton Fisher, Esq, Secretary : Henry Black. Since the first advertisement referring to the above Company, the Promoters have secured about 45 acres of Freehold Land on the main branch of the Ashbur ton River, Alford Forest. In notifying this fact, the Promoters desire to state that they still have the right to prospect over about 300 acres of Crown Land, one of the Promoters having secured a license therefor. The Freehold is in the centre of this block, and has a long frontage to the main branch of the Ashburton River. From the Prospector’s reports already to hand, and from the formation of the country, it is believed that the Company’s land, will prove to be of very great, value,, and result in considerable pro’fit to the shareholders. Some of the finest speci mens yet received from Alford Forest have been obtained from this Company’s land, and the Directors are confident that they will secure a Sufficient quantity of Diamonds to give the shareholders an immediate and a substantial return. As Ihere are but 2,000 shares .in the Company, and the area is secured (being freehold), and as the further area of 300 • acres will be prospected by the Company, the Directors with very great confidence offer the unallotted shares to the public.'

They combine Lightness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and meet the approval of all who have examined them. , Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurch New Zealand, May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained after competitions, trials, and testings:— Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gore, 1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 Ist Awari of Merit, Ashburton Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Ift Prize, Patea Show, December, 1881 • Ist Prize, Riverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oamaru Show, December, 1881 Ist Award of Merit, Dunedin Exhibition, 1881 Ist Prize, Dunedin Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Christchurch Exhibition, May, . 1882 Ist Prize, Invercargill, December, 1882 Ist Prize Sonthbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHB ORTON, 1882.



[ The Principal Advantages oe this Harrow are as Follows: It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horses from haring sore shoulders. A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, arid will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. Tt is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without turning over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring ;ooth npovement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching igainst roots or rocks, thereby making it nuch easier for the team that is drawing t, , It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow, vhen turned on its back, acting an inch ir inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a mooth surface. 1132 "iTOP THAT COUGH!
