CONVICT T-BUILT ROADS.

The very practical and success.
full demonstration made by Ward
en- lyman, of Colorado, of using
his better class of convicts for
road building, under an honor
system in which the men work
without guards is beginning to
bear fruit. Illinois is trying the
plan in a small way, with about
40 convicts, who are improving
a road near Dixon. Here also
the men are placed upon their
honor, and a liberal reducti ion in
their term has been promised by
the governor to those who make
: good. The men fully appreciate
the outdoor life and would gladly
accept the work of for no other
/ reason. 1t will be interesting to
watch the result of this cxperI-
ment, because it is being conduct
ed near a city. Warden lyman
purposely took his men-a much
larger number-far away from
the temptations Of town or city.
SO far the scheme is working
satisfactorily, although a condi-
ton that the Colorado warden
feared arose. Naturally consid-
cradle interest was aroused, and
numerous visitors came out from
town to watch the men at work.
Some sentimental citizens there
upon planned automobiles rides
and theater party for the con-
victs. Governor DunOe immed-
lately and very properly issued
orders that nothing Of the sort
be permitted. There is decid-
ed difference between allowing
convict to indulge in outdoor
work under conditions calculat-
ed to make a man Of him again
and silly sentiment that would
| set him on a pedestal. A prison
sentence should not be revenge
full; it should be refOrmative ;
but reform will not be secured
by pink teas The very object
which is aimed at may easily be
defeated by what is intended for
sympathy. The dignity of the
law and the respect for it which
the prison sentence cOntemplates
cannot be best attained by rapid
steps. 1t is right and proper
that the convicts have reasonable
recreation, but let the entertain
ment be brought to them and not
they taken to it. Governor
Dunne's prompt and firm orders
in this matter are for the good
of the men themselves, for too
generous letting down of the bars
is likely to deter other states
from giving the plan trial, and
every state should use as many
convicts as possible in road work
ing. But to make light of pri-
son sentence would be a very
grave mistake.-H. H. Windsor

chanics Magazine.

ACQUITTED.

Down in the Red River Valley
section of Louisiana there is a
planter. a veteran of the civil
war, who is noted for his profane
vocabulary.
Not long since married, and ev-

few days. But the captain was
called out early one morning py

see him on business. AS soon as
the captain saw the darky he be-
gan to curse him.
His young wife, hearing the
violent language, stuck her head
out of the window and asked:
"Is this you, dear9"
Before the captain could an

continue unbroken under the
channel. Complete geological
maps and sections have been
worked out, and these show that
favorable conditions exist for
the construction of a tunnel.
The natural place for the tun-
mel is at the Strait of Dover,
where the distance from coast to
coast is only about 20 miles and
where the average depth of water
is about 100 #. This narrow
strip of water has always been
one OF the important interna-
tional highways Of the world and
the traffic lines on both coasts
converge to it. But it is also Il
most unsatisfactory highway on
account of tse swift currents and
rough seas to which it is subject.
The economic Importance of the
strait as link between England
and the Continent will never be
altered, and it is therefore in
evitable that a tunnel providing
adequate railway transportation
will finally be built.
The tunnel, as proposed, will
run from the Shakespeare cliffs,
near Dover, England, to Eangatte
On the French coast, near Calais,
and its total length will be a
little more than 22 miles. On
each side it will enter the cliffs
at short distance from the shore
and drop down on grade of l
in so for about two miles into the
impervious gray chalk under the
strait. From each of these low
points the grade will rise at the
rate of l in 900 to a summit un-
der the middle of the strait, the
thickness of the gray chalk be-
ing great enough to permit this
arrangement. The plan for plac-
ing a summit at the middle of the
tunnel is solely for the purpose
of drainage.
A careful estimate places the
cost of the tunnel at $4,000, 900.
, Given the money and the permis.
sion to build it, the actual work
Of construction would not be as
/ difficult as many engineering jobs
, that attract less attention. The
critical feature is that of defense
/ in time of war. Several methods
have been proposed for blocking
the entrance of prevent invasion
Such tunnel as that outlined
/ above could be flooded so that II
would be impossible for an ell
emy to pass the low point in the
grade. AS an additional safe
guard it has been proposed tt
build a device similar to a cross
valve, placed within the tunne
at o suitable distance from thu
| entrance. This device would con
sist of a massive block Of con
crete operated by a turnable me
chanism and pierced with open
ings corresponding to the open
ings in the tunnel. Under or;ll

set to permit the passage o

easily be turned with the open
ines at right angle to the tunne
