More than 60 tunnels had to be cut in vhe course of construction, <strong>one</strong> the fsmous Galera tunnel, <strong>one</strong> and <strong>one</strong>-half miles in length, the highest engineering project of it* kind on earth. It ts on this road that the signal achievement of constructing a lofty steel bridge connecting two tunnel* was accomplished, in building this bridge, which spans a crevice 575 feet wide and hundred* of feet deep, it was necessary to lower all material from the top of the cliffs by wire cables. The whols stupendous task was made possible only by the liberal use of tbe "V switch" or "switchback." In <strong>one</strong> instance ot tba Peruvian railroad it was found necessary to construct a switchback in the side of the mountain, tbe train heading th on the lower level snd backing out through an up<strong>per</strong> tunnel almost exactly above.

Why the Intent Ines Do list D2sjeat Themselves lis Front em—Conclaaions ef One Scientist. The digestive tube is filled with ferments capable of attacking, of destroying and of transforming the food with which they come in contact, but these ferments attack neither the walls of the Intestines nor the parasites which often live in abundance on these walls, says Public Opinion. What causes this condition? The question has often been discussed and now the researches of M. E. Welnland on the tryptlc ferment again bring the matter forward. In 1S91 Frenzei stated that he believed the protection enjoyed by the Intestines was due to the autiferments which are secreted by the living tissues. An ex<strong>per</strong>iment 3f M. Welnland along this line is very interesting. A mixture was made of flhrine and of trypsine or of pepsin and tbe whole was placed to digest after a little juice of ascarU was added. No digestion occurred. The ex<strong>per</strong>iment may be prolonged indefinitely, but the ferment does not attack the abrine when the anti-ferment is present Thus It is not the living tissues which resist digestion, but the Juices which impregnate them and which they secrete.
