TO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
Lons-DeIayed. Franco-EngIsh Project
Is Once More Being Put
Forward.

.nE A.HaHa
A tunnel between England and
france beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
of the nineteenth century by Matthew,
a French mining engineer, says the
Argonaut. Fifty years later the
scheme was financed, but it was no
until 1867 that it seemed tina, the
project would be actually attempted.
At that time there were a dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries. The ac-
cepted scheme was that of a tunnel
bored beneath the bed of the channel
The estimated cost Of the undertake
ing was about $40, 600, 900. Prelimi!
nary boring had been made, when the
work was interrupted by the Franco.
Prussian war. In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed me-
gotiations concerning the tunnel,
leaving the matter in the hands Of a
joint commission. Failure on the
part of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted in the fail
ure of the enterprise in 1880. Now
the project is receiving some atten.
ton, a better feeling having been es-
tablished between the people of the
two countries.

PeriIs Of overdeIicacy,

A bridegroom gave his best man an
envelope.

ceremony" he said. but don't do 1T
ostentatiously."
The best man followed instructions,
but it seems that he performed his
task too covertly. for the father OF
the bridegroom, after the pair had
departed, believed hat an omission
had occurred and quietly pressed a
banknote into the minister's hand.
But he also was too secretive about it,
and before the party broke up the
BRIDES brother felt called upon to
draw the minister aside and thrust a
$10-bill upon him.

thing like a sugar loaf and are di-
vided inside into hundreds of tiny

all busily making roads, gathering
food n watching over the eggs and
youngsters. The natives are afraid to
touch these hills, except from a dis
lance with firearms. The ants often
make their strongholds around trees
and they are built very solidly, with
sides sometimes 20 inches thick. The
Binside is hollow and at the top there
is a sort of attic. The royal cell"

to prove a valuable one in colonial re-

MOVING PICTURE SHOWS

Aberdeen. S. D.. Dec. 3.-The attempt
OF a moving picture house at pierre
to give Sunday performances has
arounsed considerable interest over the
state, owing to the protest of the min

h performances. There is a state
law prohibiting the giving of Sunday
performances OF any theatrical play
or moving pictures where an admis-
sion fee is charged. but the Aberdeen
Young Woman's Christian association
has rented the Idle Hour theater for
Sunday afternoons. and gives two per-
formances each Sunday afternoon to
capacity houses. No admission fee IS
charged but a collection is taken.
Purely religious subjects are shown,
such as "Pilgrim's Progress the

listers of the city nave made no objec-
ton to the plan.
