ee A SUBMARINE BRIOGE. The Novel Proposal Made By a Well- hnown Swedish Engineer. A proposal recently brought for- ward by Herr Rudoif Lilljeqvist, Swedish engineer, for effecting perma nent railway communication between Sweden and Copenhagen, merits some notice, as introducing a new mode— never as yet, however, put to the test | of actual experience—of carrying a/| line beneath the sea. The distance between Elsinore and | Helsingborg is about two and a half | miles; and the passage is trequently | blocked in winter by ice, preventing navigation. The cost of an ordinary bridge, which would of necessity have to be carried sufficiently high above sea-level to offer no impediment to vessels, would be prohibitive in a} country but sparsely populated and of limited financial resources: whilst the additional strength requisite in the piers to withstand damage to the structure from the floating blocks of ice would add very materially to the estimates. The proposal! put forward is to con- struct an ordinary girder bridge of one hundred feet spans, and sink it to such adepth thatample room is left for ves- sels of the greatest draught to sail over it; the bridge being encased in cylindrical tubes, which exclude the water; the outer skin of the tube being of iron, that inside of steel, the space between being filled with concrete. The tubes inclosing the bridge are to be carried on ordinary caisson piers filled with concrete and spaced one hundred feet apart, pontoons similar to those so successfully empioyed in the construc- tion of the Tay bridge being adopted for founding. The br which is to carry a single line of railway, with foundation and encasing tubes, but exclusive of the land approaches, is estimated to cost about three-quarters of a million sterling. The scheme may be described as an ingenious compromise between an or- dinary bridge and a tunnel; and it is claimed that it combines the advan- tages of each, whilst avoiding the at- tendant drawbacks of construttion, and heavy outlay involved in the ex- ecution of either in this particular case. The general idea, it may be added, is not altogether novel, and has pre- viously been mooted; indeed, some years back a similar method of passing under the Thames was proposed and commenced, some lengths of the en- casing tube being actually put in hand. The project, however. was abandoned, owing, it is understood, to financial difficulties, and has never been resus- citated.—Chambers’ Journal. ———__~ ee ___ PAINLESS EXECUTION. { i vT. L: PETTYS: A.

PUNCTUATION POINTS. Only the Period Dates Earlier Than the | Fifteenth Century. It is strange that the use of “points” | for purposes of punctuation should be such a comparatively modern inven- tion. Of the four generally used “points” only the period (.) dates earlier that the fifteenth century. The colon (:) is said to have been first ine troduced about 1485, the comma (.) some thirty-five years later, and the semicolon (;) about 1570. It is difficult to understand how the literary world dispensed for so many centuries with the useful ‘‘points,” and their lack must have added to the toil of the de- cipherer of written documents, When we remember what curious inversions of meaning may be caused by the mis- placing of a comma, we marvel how early authors contrived to escape strange misreadings of their works, in which no ‘‘points” guided the students. No “point” is so hardly worked as the comma. Some writers rarely use any other stop. Many epistolary corres- pondents still cling to the ancient usages, and dispense as entirely with points as did the writers of the early ages. This sometimes renders their dispatches enigmatical. But it is easier tocomprehend an unpunctuated thana mispunctuated epistle. ‘‘Points” showered with a free and careless hand (generally in wrong places) are perplexing to a reader. The work done by the various points is very unfairly divided among them. Some signs are in constant use, others unknown to the general writer. The comma is a slave, the parenthesis nearly as toilworn. The latter might justly complain of overwork, for it is frequently pressed into service with- out any real necessity. While the pampered mark of interrogation, the idle colon, the ra used semi-colon are most unfairly excused by the ma- jority of letter writers, the comma is made to do the work of two of his brethren, and the parenthesis utilized to make bad grammar comprehensibie. The old definition of a parenthesis as “certain words introduced into a dis- cussion which are independent of the rest and may be omitted without any injury to the sense or grammar” would not apply to the parenthesis of some correspondents. Often the parenthesis carries the whole sense of the sen- which was, until recently, the premium with] tence, or serves to make involved phrases comprehensible, and to omit the parenthesis would be to play Ham- let without representing the Princ8 of Denmark. There is the old legend of the epitaph to one ‘John Bunn who was killed by a gun,” with the explan- atory parenthesis, ‘His real name wasn’t Bunn; his real name was Wood; Subscribers desiring both pictures can have “The Horse Fair” for] put as Wood didn't rhyme with gun 25 cents extra.

Modern sentiment opposes the exe- eution of criminals by hanging, for the barbarity that attends it; garrot- ing is scarcely less barbarous; decapi- tation, shooting and burning at the stake are horrible, and the proposed taking of life by electric shocks, al- though approved by the Empire State, is so uncertain that it can not be de- pended upon asasure means of de- stroying life. In the interest of humanity, and that the aims of justice may be pro- moted with unerring effect und in the most painless manner, without de- scending to barbarity, the writer would suggest the following method of ‘‘removing” condemned criminals. Let the person to be executed be placed, blindfolded and naked, in an easy reclining posture in a bath tub through which a stream of blood-warm water is continually passing. When properly seated in the bath the body and lower limbs should be entirely submerged in the warm stream. Then, with a sharp lancet, let the attending surgeon open several veins in the calves and feet of the condemned. The thrusts of the lancet in the warm water would scarce- ly be felt. Mary a man has adopted this painless method of committing suicide. The gradual loss of blood, mingling with the flowing stream, would be almost unperceived by the victim, who would gradually weaken and in a short time lose all conscious- ness and sensibility—a condition (known as syncope)—from which there could be no recovery. } | The time that would elapse before | death could’ be determined only by the amount of blood to be drawn and the tenacity of life possessed by the con- demned. To hasten the culmination of the affair after syncope had been es- tablished, the surgeon might puncture | the femoral artery. The stream of warm water contin- wally passing through and from the bath during the entire execution, | would rob it of its most repulsive feat- ures, by carrying off the blood as fast as it flowed from the veins of the con- demned, and leave the body ready ‘and crawl out of the marriage.
