Violin TeaoTiingj iv Schools. | (From the Daily News.) I Mr Mundella and Mr Gedgp, who? favour the introduction of violins into} the London Beard Fchoola, have in the' Principal of the Guildhall School o£ Music at least one hearty supporter. Br Oummings is in favour of violin teaching as against the teaching o! the piano ; and that for purely utilitarian reasons. A violin ia portable , more over, a respectable instrument may be purchased for a f-*w pounds. Hut how many boys and girls attending the Lon don Board Schools will ever possess pianos of their own ? And pianos have tho defect of not being portable. •'Take a cheap a»d portable instru ment '. teach ihe scholars that," says Dr Oumreings, in effect; "and yoa pat into tlxnr hands a refining pleasure for , all their after-days. 11 A Tunnel To Ireland A proposal which appe»la to the imagination was made at tho Engineer ing Congress in Glasgow recently, when Mr James Barton read a pap«r dealing with the practical details of a schfine for m«k nft a tunnel frf m Great Britain to Ireland, under Jtho Channel. Tho magnitude of the scheme may be realised from the esumnted cost, which wis stated to bo ab>ut ten millions, ex-lusive of ii teres»t during the con-; s'ruo ion, but, i eluding a oonpiderahlo j m»rtrin for c<m'!H£.<'i\ci<B The pc poß'ot r>*Uw>»y »H fit(y °np a"d a '"'f oiil<' ionjr, and is to connect Mratiraer, on the Biitish side f the Channel, with Belfast ou the Irish side. Tho plans provide for thirty four and % half mil's of tunnel, of which twenty five miles are under the sp». Tho line as proposed dips under tho cosst level in a one in Severn y fivo descent by the Ebbstone Beacon ; thence it passes round a curve of a mile radius •t the head of Beaufort Dyke, and reaches the opposite eh^re line at the Island of Blagee, County Antrim, thirty four miles from the starting point. From hero the line rises one in Seventy five, and passing out of the tunnel at thirty nine an-1 a half miles it joins the Belfast and Northern Counties railway at forty one miles, and runs ten and • balf miles »long it into the terminus at Belfast. It is proposed to work the line by electric motors from Installations near the main shafts, one on each side cf the channel, and as the trains would be iuti at sixty to seventy miles an hour, the journey through the tunnel would occupy little more than half an hour, and the whole distance from Straaraer, to Belfast would be covered under an hour. In view of the enor mous cost of the scheme it is not sur prising to learn that * the finance of the project is the present difficulty.' The engineering difficulties, too, must be considerable, although Sir Douglas Fox told the Congress thafe he would face tbi-? tunnel with more composure than either the Mersey or the Severn tunnel. Cn the other hand, its advan tages are admitted to be great. Its effect ia cheapening transit rates od merchandise migbt be to change the whole industrial faea <i Ireland—a result wlr'oh in the long run would amply justify the outlay. Its value in opening up Ireland to tha British tour ist in fin'>ther weighty consideration It may well be that strip to Ireland by rail is ouo of the many wonders of ecience which the new century bus in Store for the younger generation.
