THE PYRENEES TUNNELS

A fine example of French magma
ton and energy is found in the two
tunnels which have now pierced the
Pyrenees. They are of immediate and
ultimate value because one of them
affords To travellers and goods a
change from the long circuitous route
around the Pyrenees in going from
France TO Spain-indeed the tunnel
makes possible practically a straight
road from Toulouse to Barcelona. Both
tunnels are of value i'm opening Span
ish markets more directly to French
manufacturers. The tunnels will also
benefit Spain commercially and polit-
ically. At either end of the Pyrenees
are, in Spain. the Basques in the
northwest and the Galatians in the
southeast The Basques are Carlists,
the Galatians republicans Both are
opposed to the present monarchy. Law
and order i'm Spain have long suffered
because of them. In order To avoid
the mountains the only railway lines
between France and Spain have had
to pass around them and through the
Now however, by the tunnels through
the mountains, Spain will have con-
nection with France and Europe
through entirely loyal provinces. The
ultimate value of the tunnels in
France is also to be considered. There
will now he supplied an almost air
line route from Paris To the Spanish
port of cartagena, and Cartagena is
only a hundred miles away from the
French port of Oran on the Algerian
coast and Oran is about to become the
Mediterranean terminus of the railway
which will connect Algeria and Mo-
rocco and will also connect the cities
on the Moroccan Atlantic coast with
those Of the interior and those of the
Mediterranean. And beyond Algeria and
Morocco lies the rest Of the French
empire in Africa. BY the Pyrenean
tunnels that part of Africa IL brought
nearer To the home terri

emulation or inquiries as to the best
methods for DISCRIMINATING bats.
Bats are a benefit, rather than a
plague the statement declares, las
they destroy mosquitoes and number
of other insects that harm crops and
orchards. The superstition that they
entangle themselves in womens hair
is without foundation. On the con-
trary the ordinary bat is a harmless
creature"
The department experts give Off

Scare at Munisine--

The presence and apparent increase
in the number of cases of typhoid
fever in Munising is a matter of grave
concern To the village authorities, who
have laid the case before the proper
state officials. Entire families of Mu-
nising people have been treated to rem
der them immune from typhoid. Ii Is
not definitely known how many cases
of the fever there are in the village,
but the number is sufficiently large TO
excite a Well grounded fear that 1t
may Increase to alarming proportions.
The authorities are strongly of the
opinion that as the water is now be-
ing pumped only from deep wells and
a spring thoroughly cleaned and well
covered, no more cases of typhoid will
develop from the use of the water, il
any have so far had their origin there
water from private wells and one or
more users of such yater are known
to bee i'll with the disease. That out
side closets are in "a measure respon~
sible for the present unsantary con-
dition is Il theory strongly set forth
by many who urge that the common
council take steps to have all such
closets condemned. Many blame inn
pure milk for much of the sickness. In
the meantime il is the part of wisdom
to drink no unboiled water and To be
careful that the milk used is clean.

elephant hopeful of being picked for
