The Simnlon Tunnel.

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 24.-The
boring OF the Simplon tunnel, the longest
tunnel in the world, was completed at
1920 o. clock this morning. The accom-
plishment of the great engineering feat
was celebrated in fitting manner by the
ringing of bells, and the firing OF guns
throughout the country. Work on the
Simplon tunnel which is over thirteen
miles long, was begun two years ago.
Straight through the heart of the Alps,
the passage way has been bored. Work
was begun at both ends of the tunnel
simultaneously and remarkable part OF
the feat is that when the two working
parties met this morning, there was
barely fooHs deviation The work has
been most difficult one, owing to the
fact that the bore passed through some
Of the highest mountains OF the Alps.
Owing to this feat the heat in the bore
sometimes became unbearable, the Their
mometer in the spots where the diggers
were at work sometimes registering over
three hundred degrees. This necessitated
the arranging of some continuance for
getting fresh, cooling air into the work
men, and as a result the engineers in
charge, after weeks OF experiment, hit
on scheme by which the outside air
was famed in through the long bore and
the temperature in the tunnel was re-
duced until in few places, was ithigher
than 90 or 50 degrees. The men for
some peculiar reason have been entirely
free from the illness which ordinarily
oyertakes those working so far under
ground, and 20 this fact is due the speed
with which the great work was accom-

of calling an extra session next October,

Its merits, but because 1t also brought Joy to
the short-enders, who generally obtained odds
Of two to one. The fight was full Of skil1ful
boxing and footwork, hard punching and we'll
directed efforts.
Gardner made the more fanciful showing, par.
ticularly in the earlier half Of the match, but
Sullivan never for moment lost his coolness
and never missed sight Of opportunity to
gain a point.
In the second ten rounds Of the bout the
actual fighting was DONE Long-range blows
that shook and Jared were delivered by each
contestant. and the infghting was at times
particularly fierce.
Sullivan fought consistent fight. He found
that he could reach Gardner's face and his left
glove soon had the Lowell mans face a mass
of blood from bruised nose and nasty cash
over one Of the ears.
Up to the eighteenth round 1t was generally
conceded to be even thing, but then Sulli-
vans superior strength and faculty of recuper-
ating quickly turned the tide in Sullivan s
favor.
The men fought at catch weights and ap-
peared In the ring at about 142 pounds. Attic
about evenly matched to weight Sullivan had
