FLOATING RAILROAD TUNNEL.

To Be Placed In the BospoFous and
Weighted Down with Chsias.
What may interest American engi-
neers is the fact that the porte has
scheme on foot to tunnel under the
Bosporus. There is an enormous traf-
fic between the two sides OF the Bos-
porus. and the delay caused by the
opening and shutting OF the bridge Of
boats. which forms now the only
means Of communication. is very trou-
blesome. A railroad company Is now
constructing its lines on both sides.
but little real profit is expected until
the lines can be connected. Hitherto
this has been impossible. as the ex-
listing bridges are scarcely large
enough for the ordinary passenger. to
say nothing Of the constant Interrupt
ton. Tunnelins BY the ordinary way

Is extremely deep. with 20 or 80 feet of
mud At the bottom. Engineers OF this
age are not to be lightly banned. how
ever. The chief engineer Of the porte
has suggested = means Of solving the
problem. He proposes to suspend or
noat = tunnel at about Is feet below
the surface Of the water. allowing un-
Interrupted passage to vessels Of the
largest tonnage. The Golden Horn

Delaware has received much criti-
cism on account Of the whipping post
law, which has been in force some
years In that state. On Saturday nine
men were publicly whipped at New
Castle for the crimes OF burglary and
petit larceny. in the presence Of about
500 people. There was no pretense
about the punishment. The lash was
laid on according to the manner pro-
vided BY the law. 1t Is easy to say
harsh things about punishment In this
form. and the so-called humanitarians
and the representative have not been
sparing In their condemnation. ThereI IL,
however. another side Of the case. The
fact that Delaware has tried this
method Of punishment. and refuses to
repeal the law. IL evidence that ex-
perience has shown that It Is not ad-
visable to abolish the whipping post.
There Is nothing more valuable In the
study Of crime than experience In nnd-
Ing out what method Of punishment iS
best adapted to certain cases. Della
ware has concluded that applying the
-nine-tails to thieves II better
than locking them In jail for six
months and feeding them At the states
expense. There Is = Law In Baltimore
that provides for the punishment Of
wife-beaters by hossing. but such 10 the
feeling here that but three men have
been whipped for this. one Of the most
brutal crimes. In over ten-years. The
warden Of the Jail few days ago en-
phatically declared that the only way
to stop men from beating their wives
Is to string them up to the whipping-
post and hoE them. Such punishment
does not compare In brutality to that
Of = strong man beating = weak and
defenseiess woman. II some Of the
tender hearted could see In the police
court the condition Of some Of the
women Who have been thus maltreated
their views might be different. Crime
cannot BE- studied st long range. and
only through the medium Of books. The
opinion Of wardenv and other experts.
who have TO deal directly with crimi-
nails, Is Of vastly more Importance than

The equality Of opportunity and tho
equality Of legal rights which the Lon.
don Spectator lays 90 much stress upon
unauestionably do work for that con-
tentment with the gradations in Eng
iish social life which IL 90 apt to amaze
the American traveller who thinks the
masses and the classes ought to hate

Instead. he nnds they all dearly love
lord and as rule refrain from shy
Ing 'arf brick at 'im." As . result
OF this. a. the Spectator observes. In
Great Britain rank does not rankle nor
wealth necessarily arouse snmity.
without accepting the rather elysian
picture the Spectator paints ~ the ab-
solute and anal statement. It should be
noted that while Ian Maclaren 10 de-
ploring the part that the desire for
wealth and position play in American
life. the Spectator confesses that
wealth and rank rule English society.
Their attainment may BE- said to be
the national ideal. possible for any one
under certain conditions. That wealth
attains rank and rank wealth. and that
they both are held In profound respect
and have an influence socially and po-
litically that Is in no way inferior to
wealth and position in America, must
be clear when the everyday facts of
English life are studied. It may be
We are more practical. more concerned
for the dollar. but merely because Ian
Maclaren says SO does not make 1t SO.
for In certain features American life
is idealism personihed, English life
drive for the probabilities. 1t was
unquestionably Mr.. Astor's recognition
Of the infinite possibilities Of wealth
and rank that led him to see Albion's
shores. where. as the Spectator shows.
all are agreed to give wealth and rank
a chance In all frankness and freedom.
This contentment. the Spectator be-
iieves. presages certain changes In 30
cial life whereby reforms and a greater
increase Of general comfort will be pro-
NOTED without the exhibition Of class
hatred which Is shown on the tonti-
nent. It also prophesies a like move
ment In America. since 1t presupposes
here the same general attitude toward
wealth that obtains In England. But
the analogies are not altogether exact,
and wealth and rank in England have
a freer hand than wealth and position
in the United States. Whether this be
for our veal or not is open to discus
sion.
