Character Unchanged.

There is no changing character to
the library and its readers. 1t is the
same always, the only difference being
in degree. Grand opera literature is
now the rage, and will continue until
after the opera stars are gone.
1T is the common belief that the
men read all the sensible books and
the women read the trash, but this is a
misconception. Great numbers of wom-
en- cast the novel aside for something
heavier, while many men regale them
selves with the penny thriller The

~ How the Horrid Channel
= Passage Will Be Abolished
BY Boring Hole % Miles Long
Through the Lnnperuious Gray Chalk

THE construction OF tunnel
under the English Channel,
connecting England and
France, has been practically decided
on.
England will no longer be an ISL
and, and the terrors Of the Channel
passage, which have caused moro
discomfort to passengers than any
other body OF water In the world.
will cease to exist
The Importance OF this undertake
ing to the whole world and the COM
parative ease with which 1t can be
carried out, make 1t the most pecu-
liar engineering project ever dis
cussed The difficulties Of con-
structing the tunnel lie far more in
personal and national peculiarities
than In natural obstacles. In build
ing the Panama Canal, the engineers
had only to consider expense and
natural obstacles, while In planning
the Channel tunnel the engineers
can regard expense and natural OBJ
stacles lightly, but 1t has been neces.
sary to overcome the entire insular
preJudices and sentiments OF the
British nation.
1t Is singular accident OF nature
that an undertaking so important to
the world can be carried out with 30
little difficulty. Everybody who has
made the passage across the English
Channel from Dover to Calais must
have noticed the high white chalk
cliffs that line the shores on both
sides. Now this chalk continues
under the sea all the way across the
channel. Eight thousand borings
have been made into the chalk, and
it is certain that it goes all the way
across to depth Of several hundred
feet.
1t is this chalk which offers such
excellent material for boring the
tunnel. 1t is easily pierced with a
cutting tool, yet sufficiently hard
and even to remain in position with
out support. This makes 1t much
cheaper and easier to build a tunnel
under the English Channel than a
similar length Of subway in New
York.
The ease with which the tunnel
can be built has been fully proved,
for section 1000 yards in length
has been constructed both from the

French and English ends. This was
done years ago, and then the British
Government stopped the work.
The upper layer OF the sea be
under the Channel consists of white
chalk. somewhat penetrable ~
water. There Is about hundred
feet OF this. Beneath 1t there is a
layer Of gray chalk quite impene-
trable by water and about 200 feet
deep. Beneath this IS a tremendous
stratum OF gault clay impenetrable
by water.
In the lower part of the impervi-
Gus gray chalk stratum the tunnel
will be constructed. 1t will have $50
feet OF impervious chalk above It.
The tunnel will be bored by ro-
tary steel cutter, constructed upon
the principle of the familiar car
penter's bit. AS the bit cuts into
the chalk q rotary loader will pick
UP the fragments OF chalk and drop
them on little railway trucks which
VIII carry them back to the land.
according to the plans Of the
British engineer, Sir Francis Fox,
the construction will consist Of two
single track tunnels. each of eigh.c
teen feet internal diameter, and thus
large enough to accommodate the
french and English railroad trains
when supplied with special electric
locomotives.
The two tunnels will be placed
thirty-six feet apart, measured from
centre to centre, and connected at
distances Of 100 feet by cross gal
leries. It would be possible to leave
the exposed chalk to form the walls
of the tunnels, but no risk will be
taken in such matter. The tunnels
Will be lined with steel segments of
ample strength. These will be COW
cred on the inner and outer sides
with a smooth coating OF concrete,
which will prevent leakage into the
tunnel and preserve the plates from
corroSiOn.
1t has been estimated that, work
ing at the rate of three miles O. year
from each side of the Channel, or at
total rate Of six miles a year, the
time required for the completion of
the enterprise will be somewhat
less than four years.
The tunpel will run from the
Shakespeare Cliff, near Dover, Eng

suggested Exposure of the Tunnel Railway English End
So That the English Could Disable 1t in Wartime
by Firing on 1t.

The piston-like action Of the
trains will do much to ventilate the
tunnel. but ducts will also be built
to carry fresh air to the midway
part.
Sidings, express stations and other
details Of construction have already
been mapped out.
The passage of the tunnel will &C.
cupy about half an hour, while the
present water passage takes about
two hours and half. a man Will
be able to leave London at o'clock
in the morning and be In Paris at .
o'clock in the afternoon.
The building Of the tunnel will
certainly be followed by a great in
crease OF travel between England
and the Continent. At present only
100000 persons year cross the
water from England to all the Chan
mel ports, while between France and
Germany, where there Is no water
to cross, the annual number of pas
sengers is 100000. Americans
visiting Europe will find their tray
elling made much pleasanter by the
elimination OF the Channel passage.

counting the fare Mt $3.50 a trip.
The number OF passengers would
increase year by year. Freight and
other income would bring $4,000, 900
more. Working expenses are calcu-
lated at s2,2Oo,oOO a year.
When we consider that this enter
prise will put the 100000 people
or Great Britain into direct land
communication with Europe and
Asia. 1t seems astonishing that it has
not been carried out before this.
AS long ago as 1867 company
was formed for its construction. It
was then supported by Queen Vic
toria's husband, the Prince Consort,
by many Englshmen, and by the
vast majority of Frenchmen and
other foreigners who thought about

would be great advantage to have
a tunnel by which the friendly army
OF France could be brought into the
country and employed in It's defense.
Furthermore, the invention OF
aeroplanes and dirigible balloons has
done much to destroy the military
Isolation which the sea formerly
gave to England. 1t is admitted

however, would be its usefulness In
bringing food supplies into the
country. The British population
depends for existence on food i'm.
ported into the country from abroad.
England does not contain more than
sufficient food at ordinary times to
support the population for more
than two months.
In time Of war, therefore the
British navy must concentrate all
its force on preventing the enemy
from cutting off the oceans commerce
or England. But If the tunnel ex-
listed. food supplies could be brought
IN from friendly country, and the
navy could be employed for a dis
tant attack instead OF being tied up
In the work Of protecting the trade
routes.
All these considerations have final.
~ broken down the old British preiu-
dice against the unQuestionably use

has been ascertained that the great
majority OF members Of Parliament
are in favor of the tunnel. The law
has not yet been presented to them,
but the promoters of the tunnel are
justified in regarding It's passage as

sened, there Will be ample means
provided for its defense. At the
English end section Of the tunnel
will consist Of a concrete valve
which can be turned by hydraulic
turntable mechanism so as to block
the passage. Then there will he n
mechanism for flooding the tunnel.
Each of these mechanisms will be
in command OF separate military
officer. In addition there will be
batteries commanding the mouth Of
the tunnel.
With all these defenses, 1t Is con-
certain that an enemy could
not invade England by making an
initial attack through the tunnel.
The only possible method would be
to make a surprise night attack by
air and sea upon the English end OF
the tunnel. II the acsailants sue
ceeded in Selling the blocking
mechanisms before they were put
in operation, it would be possible to
push 10000 troops with field guns
through the tunnel In six hours.
This force would hold the ada
cent country against the English
army, while any desired force with
iull supplies was transported
through the tunnel. The possibility
OF such an attack is too remote to
weigh against the advantages OF the
tunnel.
