Germany out of a combined population or
100, 242, 900. There were 1864, $40 travel
lers between France ana Belgium and HoI-
laud out of a combined population of 52,62G.-
600. Gu the other hand, there were only
1862, 600 passengers who passed to and fro
between England and the principal Cont
mental ports OF the Channel, the North Sea,
and the Baltic. NJ. Snrtiaux reckons TINT
the average number of journeys which each
iuhabituut of Great Britain undertakes III
his own country every year amounts to 80,
whereas there is only one journey undertaken
between France or Ujce oersG for every 80
inhabitants of both countries.
He draws the same conclusions from the
statistics Of international trade. Between
1904 and 1911 French trade with England
increased from RSS, 760,0 900 to Gig, 800, 900
or about 30 per cent. During the same Pc
Rod French trade with Germany increased
from CAT, O80,0O to eSl, 400. 900, or an in
crease Of over 70 per cent. Moreover, up to
1911 10000, 900 tons of Il total of II, 543, 140
tons Of goods exchanged between France
aud England consisted of coal. Coal, there
fore, represented about 80 per cent of the
total tonnage OF Anglo-French trade. The
conclusion drrwn by NJ. Sartiaux is that a
tunnel is IN economic necessity.
NV 'S'N'N ~ HCAhV - y NAs OSA
tiaux considers that, apart from the facility
with which the tunnel could be- flooded or
blown up, there would also be on both sides
of the Channel great open-air viaducts rs
approaches to the tunnel in the cliffs, and
they would form excellent targets for the
British Fleet. The traction in the tunnel
would be electric, and the cables could be
cut in a moment on one side or the other.
But in view of the Anglo French Entente,
people III England nle beginning to think
that the tunnel would really lie advantageous
in the iutert ST of national defence.
AS to another question, the alleged British
fear Of the spread Of French ideas, NJ. SHr-
tinux points out that neither III Belgium nor
IN Germany, with which communication are
so easy, have French ideas in The le"st dis
placed the national sentiments or customs.
"No," he concludes, 'the tunnel will not
change British national sentiment, which is
SO impeccable and So great. Is it not the
contrary that Will take place ?'-Times,

Adams in private life was Mr.. Michael May

Born in Liverpool in 1914, he studied mu-
sic in Italy and Germany, and afterwards
appeared as a baritone singer at Leading
London and provincial concerts, aud also in
English opera for many years.
M%eantwhiie he became extremely popular
as q writer of songs. Indeed, he created
some thirty years ago a particular form If

time enjoyed an immense vogue and inwhich
the composer had hundreds of imitators'
Among his most famous songs were "Nan-

The death in 1889 of his brother. Mr.

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.
The Opinion or A French Engineer.

Paris, Aug. p.
NJ. Sartiaux, chief engineer of the French
Northern Railway, and administrator of the
French Channel Funnel Company, has given
Lis views on the proposed tunnel to the Echo
de Par1S. He seems to think that opinion
in England has changed in favour of the
scheme. He regards the sea passage rs a
great obstacle TO closer relations not only BE-
tween England and France but between Eng
land and the whole of the Continent. In
support OF this view he quotes statistics Of

GIVES AWAY SECRET OF SUCCESS
With SERVANTS.

A certain woman who is famous among
her friends for the sInoothness with which
she runs her house aud manages her SER
wants was asked the other day to tell The
secret OF her success. She smiled as She
said that she had SIMPLY taken her own

FOURTH PIPE LINE TO GULF.
Waters-Pierce Company Makes Con-

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. "a fourth
pipe line from the Oklahoma oil
fields to the gulf will be built by
the Waters Pierce Oil Company, ac-

failure of an expected supply of
crude oil from the Electra field in
today's operation of the Waters
Pierce refinery at Fort Worth is
said to be responsible for the build

The report treats Of the movement
Of farm products from the farm to
consumer through a great variety OF
channels The simplest distribution Is
the direct one Of delivery by farmer
to consumer, and next after this Is
the delivery by individual farmers or
associations OF farmers to individual
consumers or associations OF consum-

Proposal to Aid Consumers.
The secretary of agriculture closes
his recommendation by making ore
concerning the participation of con
sumers in the solution of marketing

cost of marketing will naturally re-
suit in gain to the producer rath :"
than to the consumer. If the coli

cost of distribution, it seems probaGl'
that he must do so through cheap
ening or eliminating costs at his end
of the chain of distribution. The
consumers can cheaper the costs of
farm products by cooperative buy
ing and by reducing the expenses of
retail and other local distribution. TIE

the distribution of farm products is
{ conspicuous one at the present time
and problems in distribution that are
