Ike up h subject and will exert

Tor q tunnel. Interviews with several
members Of the house who think )
tunnel should be built have recently
been published. All say that the old
military objections are absurd. One
holds that a tunnel would be equal to
an additional feet Of battleshlps. ."be-
cause we should be secure against all
possibility OF being starved out" Whila
the commercial advantages to be
gained are not overlooked, it is point
ed out that "the worst public trans
portation service between any W
great capitals" would be greatly im-
proved. and 1t Is asserted that the pro.
motion Of personal intercourse be-
tween the people of England and those
of France and Germany would cause
q deeper regard for justice, thus. af-
fording a guarantee OF international
peace.
Clapde Graham White, the aviator,
speaking Of the old military objections,

vasion by airships than by tunnel. He
predicts that, 10 years hence, there will
be heavier-than-air flying machines
capable of carrying as many persons
as are found on the average ocean
steamship.
In the last IS years millions have
been-expended in surveys. borings and
other preliminary work. but construc-
ton has been halted and prevented by
military denunciation. Not many years
ago. a British adjutant general excited
public opposition by picturing tunnel
invasion from France and the perma-
nent ruin of England.
Surveys made in the last century
snow that the best route for a tunnel
Is from st. Margaret's bay "a little
east Of Dover) to Sangatte, which is
near Calais. on the French coast. The
distance Is about 20 miles, and the sea
there is shallow, having a depth Of
100 to $50 feet. Underneath are two
stratus of chalk. The upper one, white
chalk. Is full! of seams. The lower,
gray chalk, is solid AND impervious. In
this gray chalk the tunnel would be
made. and, at its lowest point, would
be a little more than 300 feet below
the level Of the sea.
Plans made long g require such
a tunnel, but another method Of con-
struction has been proposed by Simon
Lake. an :Amsrican engineer. He would
not go d%wn into the gray chalk, but
would Dig a trench along the surface
Of the wliitS chalk and lay in this
trench two. tubes OF steel, lined with
cement AMI protected on the outside

would be t,sksn out on barges and low

be covered by the material, displaced
when the trench was made. Construc-
ave much time and cost. AS the u n
mel would be not more than 40 feet
below sea level Qnstead of more than
300 feet), the grades would be easier
than those required by the other plan,
and the land approaches would be
shorter.

made with the spectrum to determine

and 1t has been found that It is the
rays toward the violet and Of the

show that he liked good wine. and that
sometimes he had trouble In paying for
