PLAN TO TUNNEL UNDER
ENGLISH CHANNEL REVIVE

The old project of tunnel un>er
the English channel is being revived
with better prospects of success than
it ever had before. Public opinion
in England, which has always been
the chief obstacle, is thought to have
been reyolutioniZed gradually. The
change is said to be due partly to the
continual lettering of Franco-British
relations under the entente cordiale,
the strength of which was proved by
Germanys Moroccan coup, and partly
by arguments advanced by fnanciers
in both countries who have been
pointing out the tremendous mutual
commercial advantages that could be
gained thereby.
The plans and the capital are in
readiness, and there remains only 10

governments, and it is declared that
great effort will be made to secure
it. Incidentally it is understood that
the Intercontinental Railroad Com
pany, which is an English syndicate,
intends soon to establish between
Dieppe and New Haven the first
transchannel train ferry

tor Gauthier, a former cabinet officer,
"Franco-German commerce has grown

commerce, though totaling more than
the others, has increased only 33 per
cent, and this in spite of the natural
commercial alliance between agricul-
tural France and industrial England.
The channel alone is to blame for The
discrepancy, and only a tunnel can
remedy it.
"The English people are beginning
to see that a tunnel, instead of weak
ening their defensive power in time
of war would really increase it, be-
cause it would keep the source Ur
supplies continually open. Continu-
ance of the present state of things
and any delay in completing the long
projected link mean actual loss to

their attention, was evidenced today
by gentleman who, as he stated, had
been subscribing for another paper

begun to buy The Star frequently
from newsboys. Then one day he was
suddenly laid up at home with a bad
case Of grip. Unable to buy The Star
as he had done, he discovered that he
had formed the Star habit" ana at
the same time that he no longer felt
the need for the paper he had so long
taken in his home. The result was

This isn't an isolated case. People
every day are suddenly realizing that
The Star has become not only the
biggest and most up-to-date paper m

have individually come to depend.
There are plenty of reasons for this
phenomenon, and they explain why

erection of model cottages for the

has been a subject of parliamentary

seen the conditions under which the
vast majority of these people have to

animals on which they depend for
their paltry livelihood as we'll. In

THE WIT OF BEES.
industrious Insects Seem to Be En-
dowed With Reasoning Power.

dowed With Reasoning Power.
A Virginia farmer had few swarms
of bees which he kept in what are
called box hives. Inside these were
small boxes which would hold about
two or three pounds Of honey each.
About eight of these were placed in
the top of the hive, and as at least
one side of each box was Of glass the
keeper could easily look into the hive
and see when the boxes were filled
with honey.
The farmer usually chose to do this
early in the morning, before the bees
came out to begin the labors Of the
day, or at night when they had finish
ed them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested and
generally try to sting the intruder.
One day some friends were at the
farmers house, and as they wanted
honey very much the farmer thought
he would venture to take 1t out In
the afternoon. He knew that some OF
the boxes were quite full. The hives
stood a few rods from the house, and
on that side Of the house were large
doors leading into the cellar.
1t has been mentioned that the boxes
were partly of glass; but the bottom
of each was made Of little stats. so
that the bees could go in and out as
they liked.
The farmer took out several boxes.
carried them into the cellar, shut the
cellar doors nearly together, and hur-
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees which
might be in them to fly out and re-
turn to the hive; but, in his haste to
avoid being stung, the farmer left the
doors open too much, so that the GEL
lar was quite light, whereas 1t should
have been nearly dark.
The bees were 80 excited and en-
ragged that they fled in all directions.
attacking every one who came In their
way. A woman on the porch was
stung on her cheek; a neighbor pass
ing along the road fared no better;
and a great running and screaming
ensued
When supper time came there were
so many bees flying about the cellar
doors that no one cared to go near
them. Early the next morning the
farmer looked out of the dining room
window and observed that the air was
still full Of bees.
At about 10 o'clock he looked again
and not bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes But,
instead of being heavy with honey, as
they were the day before when taken
from the hive, they were almost as
light as air, being filled only with
empty comb The bees had worked
with a will and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.-Harpers

Burnham, who lives at the sani-

arrested soon after the discovery of
the crime, but there seems nothing
to fmplicate him In the tragedy. His
employers say he was at work when
crime must have been committed. He

When brought into the morgue,
the bodies were almost unrecogniz-

wounds indicated that the murderer
had cut and smashed until he was
sure he had destroyed life.
