Channel Gas means OF communication

lt was decided To construct a sub
merged bridge ffty feet below the low
est tide, and To run thereon an electric
car capable OF transporting four railway
trains. which would be secured very
much in the same way as the trains are
fastened on TO the ferry boats between
New York and New Jersey. The direct
ors' report, recently submitted, stated
that the work could be completed in five
years at a cost OF not exceeding sc. .0O0, GO.
The train platform was 10 he 800 feet
long and 80 feet wide, and was 20 be car

Nj. Mottier IL confident that the cross
channel trip can be made in less than an
hour, The passengers will enter the
sleeping car at London. and will go TO
sleep In the assurance that they will not
wake until the gay capital OF France is
reached The trains will he run straight
on to the platform, and the huge struc-
ture will then start on it's journey across
the channel without the slumbering pass
engers being aware whether they are on
land or on sea.
The sea going car imagined by NJ Mot
tier will be propelled by an engine located
on the platform, and will be worked eith-
cr by steam or electricity. The engine
will operate drum, over which a chain
Will wind, and the car platform and sub
merged carriage will be thus drawn from
one sde OF the channel 10 the other.
NJ. Mottier estimates the total cost OF
this unique undertaking at the small sum
of 81, $50 900. and promises n return of $50
to $1,000 a day. making calculation foN
twenty trips every twenty-four.
