COMPLETION OF. A GREAT TUNNEL.

The Tunnel OF Mont St. Gothard, the
greatest englns ering work of the kind 10
the world, has just been finished. The
object Of it is to connect the railroad
system OF Germany, Switzerland and Italy,
aud its construction was deemed necessary
in order to offset the commercial advan-
tsges that were acquired by France In the
building of the Mont Ceuis tunnel, and
Austria with her road across the Semmer-
ing, which ara the connecting railroad
iiuks for those two countries with the same
portion of Europe. The chief works of
this kind in the::world are fourth number
namely, the Hoosac ard Sutro tunnels in
the United States and the'above mentioned.
The Mont St. Gothard is the longest of al,
its length being more than eight miles !;
the Sutro is the shortest, being less than
four miles. Tue Hoosac tunnel is rs
miles in length and the Mont Gents about
seven miles. All of these great works
have been constructed in the interest of
trade and commerce. aud with the Allan
nc Gable, the Pacific railroads, the Suez
Capal and the Panama Cauai, when 1T
shall have been built, will be among rhe
great industrial monuments of the century.
1.-THE tunnel between France md England
is ever built, it will, of course, surpass
anything of the kind ever attempted. Our
own North River work, if pushed to
complexion will hold no Insignificant
place beside the works We have men
toned, nor 10 suchl an enumeration
should our great bridges, like those Of St.
Louis, Niagara Falls and Brooklyn, be
forgotten. In works of practical utility
more he's been accomplished in the nipe-
tesnth century than perhaps in all the
centuries THAT have preceded tn. Y.

last number but one of the Preus-
sickle Lhrbucher of which he is the editor
he concludes a most interesting paper on
the prospects of Germany with a trane5-
ant attack on the German Jews, aud this
attack he justifies Ssnd develops in the
current nomber of the same periodical.
The position which he takes up ia as
follows: Germany is a newly formed
country. and though in Prussia it has
found a strong aad comparatively old

external policy, in view o. the two dangers
which menace it from the east ard from
the West, make the irmest union mora! AT
home Indispensable. Now there are seye,h,
reasons, he argues, WHY the Jew, harnltss
and even useful, in some couatIies-is a
source Vi danger to Germany. The first is
that the jew ore muca more numerous
there than in any other counties Of tha
west. In 1871 there wero Ia Spain 5000
Jews IN Italy, 10000 in France, $4,000
in Great Britain, $4,000 in Germany,
$4,000. The rate at wnicn they have
increased during the present coa.ury is
very striking. In 1916 there We IN
