Plan for Channel Tunnel.

Since a French engineer named Ga mond planned a submarine tunnel, in 1857. various projects have been ad- vanced for connecting England with the continent. The latest is the sug- gestion of Bunau-Varilla, who wants to build tunnel to within three kilo- meters of England, and thence bridge, which England (which has not favored tunnsD could destroy at any time in case of danger of foreign invasion, thus rendering the tunnel useless.

and an auger with bits of different sizes the latter for making doorways to the dwellings. One of the simplest bird houses which one can make consists of a box of which the four sides are four shingles, and the top and bottom two square bits of wood to which the shingles are 1ailed. If a hole about one and a half inches square is now cut in the end of one of the shingles, to serve as an entrance, and the box nailed against tree trunk or the side of . barn, with the hole end uppermost, 1t is more than likely that it will be roccu- pied by the first bluebird who finds it in season. Very often it is not necessary to go to even this little trouble; any small box large enough to accommodate a bluebird's, wren's or tree-swallow's nest will answer. A small starch box is the very thing. A shingle or a piece of board should be nailed on top in such a way that 1t projects for several inches; this will serve as roof and prevent the rain from driving into the entrance. MT. E. H. Forbush. state ornithologist for Massachusetts, gives the following figures for the sizes of entrance holes: For chickadees, one and one-fourth inches; for wrens, one and seven eighths inches; for bluebirds and swal- lows, one and one-half inches: for mar tins, two and one-ha1f inches; for fiickers and screech owls, three and one- half inches.
 But in order to draw a great number of bird tenants, and at the same time get the greatest amount of pleasure from their presence, one should do lit- tie more than simply put up houses for them to nest in. As human tenants are likely to rent house if there is bath in it, so birds are more apt to occupy our houses if there is water to be had on the premises. All of our land birds drink, I believe, and many of them are very fond of bathing. so that if they are supplied with shallow dishes of water, either set in the lawn, flush with the grass, or let into the top of an old stump, they are likely to stay and enjoy themselves.
 Then. birds are apt to be prejudiced in favor of any place where they lind an abundance of food. Bird-seed scattered along the edges of the walks and in the door yard are acceptable to many species even in the spring. Fruits and berries of different kinds, especially the easly ones, prove very attractive to cer- tam birds-robins. catbirds and cedar waxwings. for examples, and if you want ,humming- birds. all you have to do is to plant such flowers, creepers and shrubs as they love to visit. The ruby throat Is fond of many flowers. both wild and cultivated Honeysackle, painted cup, columbine. jewel weed. salvia, cardinal flower larkspur and trumpet creeper are . few of the flowers which have . special attraction for the ruby. enfoat

OPENING DAY At uPPONvlLLE
OF Grafton and Middicsex Hound
Trials Proves q Failure.

Upponville, Va, Nov. 1.-The opening
day of the American English trial be-
tween packs from Grafton and Middle
sex proved d failure on account or the
dry weather and high wind. Mr.. Hig-
ginson's Middlesex English pack met,
early this morning. at Melbourne, and
until 9.15 the covers along Beaver Dam
creek were Drawn without success.
Hounds were then called off, as there
was no chance of raising a fox
A field of &c graced the occasion and
two falls and sensational Jump over
wire fence furnished the excitement
of the day. Miss Dulaney Of Grafton
Hall. rode over a four-foot barbed wire
fence in taking an in and out jump
across a road. Mr.. Chamberlain OF
Boston fell at ditch and Paul Within
Of NASSAU husctts came cropper over
4 stone wall.
Harry w. Smith. master of Grafton
hounds. tomorrow morning. will take
out his American pack. The meet will
be at Leith plantation. but it is thought
that if the high wind continues there
will be little sport.
The match has practically become a
test Of the American and English
method of fox hunting. The Mfddlesex
hunt establishment is composed en-
tirely of Englishmen. The Grafton
hunt is distinctly American.

messed the spectacle from the roof of
the palace and tens of thousands of
citizens gathered in the vicinity and
demonstratively greeted him.
A Chilean schoolship in the harbor

TWENTY PER CENT. INCREASE
In Volume Of Trade in Chicago During
the Last Year.

Chicago. Nov. 1.-Chicago's wholesale
trade and manufacturing industries, in
volume of business, has increased 20
per cent. for the year ended yesterday.
Oct. 81. over the record oc the preced-
ing IL months and 100 per cent. over
10 years ago. In IA years, they have
trebled.
The figures We're obtained from the
publicity department of the Chicago
Commercial Association. In many lines
the percentage is even higher than that
recorded in the foregoing tables, nota-
bly, in clothing and in boots and shoes,
but 20 per cent. has been taken
as a conservative basis, including all
branches of trade.
The increase in business in the last
year Is regarded as the more remark
able in view of the long transfers
strike during the summer. 1t is con-
sidered that this reduced the increase
by at least per cent.

In Fall River Cotton H.
dustry for Many Months.
Textile Council Votes Over.
whe|ming1y Against Striking.
viii Meet Today, and Ratify an Agree.
ment With Mill Owners.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. -Four of
the five unions represented in the Tex
tile Council met, tonight, to consider
the question of authorizing a strike in
IS of the print-cloth mills of the city,
and in three out of four of the organi-
cations. the sentiment was so over
Whelmlngly against cessation of
work that industrial peace in Fall Riv-
er Is assured for many months. The
recent compromise agreement which
was arranged by the Manufacturers
Association and the Textile Council
was accepted by all the unions except
the WeaverS Union.
The weavers voted to reject the new
arrangement and on the question of
striking voted in the affirmative, 445 to
298. To order a strike a two-thirds
vote is necessary under the union rules
and the vote is in favor of continuing
work. In the other unions, the strike
sentiment was so insignificant that a
roll call was not taken.
The strong strike sentiment in the
Weavers Union is attributed to gem
eral dissatisfaction which has been
prevalent in the weaving rooms of the
mills for a long time. Outside of the
direct wage issue, the weavers demand
shorter cuts. shorter bobbins, a less
number of looms per weaver, and other
reforms. 1t is thought that the dis
satisfied operations will accept the new
agreement without causing serious
difficulty.
Thomas O'Donnell. secretary of the
Spinners Union, stated, tonight. that
the agreement as to the wage advance
would expire, Oct. 1, 1906, but it was
his opinion that the question of mar
gins would be re-opened at any time.
The whole subject, however, will be
formally ratified in writing, tomorrow
when representatives of
each side will meet and perfect the
final details.
