Under tho English Channel.

The preliminary excavations for this
enterprise arc being actively pushed for
ward at Sangatte, near Calais, at a spot
where the cliffs have an altitude Of SO yen-
ty feet above the level Of the sea at high
water. A point has been chosen where
the rocks OF gray chalk which have to be
traverscd by the tunnel come to show their
heads at the surface OF tho soil. On the
opposite shore similar borings have been
begun, 30 that the works are proceeding
simultaneously. The soundings that have
been made during the last few years dem
onstrato that the base Of the Channel con-
siBts Of compact mass of chalk, resting
on banks of slate. This mass, which is
easy enough to pierce, is said at tho same
time to resist filtration sufficiently. It would
therefore, present a substance excellcntly
adapted for pcrforation. But what yet re-
mains to be proved is whether the success
sion of these chalk layers will not disclose
some irregularities or ruptures which would
render the enterprise impossible. The
shaft at Sangatte has now reached depth
Of nearly 200 feet, or about 130 feet below
the level Of high water. 1t has width OF
ten feet, Is and lined with oak, 80 that the
water cannot penetrate very freely, not
more than seventeen gallons a minute.
This water Is not salt, which Ia thought to
prove that the layers hitherto traversed
have their point of contact sufficiently far
from the shore to prevent the sea from as
cending the shaft. 1t Is intended to sink
to depth OF 800 feet, and then gallery
will be excayated in the direction Of Eng
land. UP to the present the engineers are
highly satisfied with the results obtained,
as no irregularities have been discover ed,
which ls considered good augury for the
success OF the enterprise 1t Is impossible,
however, TO proceed at quicker rate than
twenty inches day. Nevertheless In
eighteen months Or two years enough pro.
gress will have been made to arrive at q
perfect understanding about the possibility
OF the undertaking 1t is stated that the
work will not fail through lack Of funds.

talk"
''Trance or no trance, SAID Aunt Jane,
''that's dreadful sick GIRL"
81 tell you there is nothing the matter
with her. She is medium, and an un-
common good one."
81 tell you that's dreadful sick girl,
and you must bring ME some hot water as
quick as you can."
IL ehall do nothing of the kind. She is
not sick"
+. "Well," said Aunt Janc, ''she is very
sick girl, and you go right down to my
house, James, and bring me pail Of hot
water. and some cloths and some mustard
and bottle Of brandy"
While James was gone she loosed tho
girls cloths and rubbed her hands, which
were as cold az ice, and as soon as James
came back she got the girls feet in warm
mustard water and after she had brought
her back to consciousness enough'to make
her swallow anything, she gave her some
brandy, and as soon as possible helped her
to bed.
When Mrs. Wilkins saw she couldn't
help herself she left the room, and Aunt
Jane was allowed to perform her mission
ary work alone. She stayed with the
girl all night, and had talk with her,
advising her to go home. which she was
willing to DO. She seemed to be under
the control of her uncle while she stayed
there, and said she had these attacks every
night when he was home.
Welt, Aunt Jane arranged with her to
take one of the afternoon trains If she
was able. She sont James after some break

and took her home with her to dinner,
and went with her to tho train and bought
the ticket with her own money. And 80

his family, while the other is decid

spirited contest between these two
noted rivals the other day, the re-
suit of which was that Garfield
tucked his anecdotal appendage
and skunk away, leaving Hancock
master of the field. This little in
cident leads US to the conclusion
that the same result will be reached
in November. We shall anXiously
watch the development of these tom
cats. Garfield has two black spots
in his forehead, which might be put
down as the two dark spots in his
namesake's record.

dainty dish of rhyme, labeled "Sto-

verse Is an appetizing tit-bit:
All, yes, it is so sweet

When glowing bosoms press,

low state of the society's finances,
was the memorable work he per-

The prospects of the approach il g

many evidences of popular support
already visible on the horizon are
very gratifying to the directors.

by the constant demand for cata-

manifested by the farmers at home
in the success of the enterprise.
