ENGLAND TUNNELING
 THE CHANNEL |?

Is England carrying out the dream, talked of in Napoleon's day of tunneling the English Channel? The practicability of such a tunnel is universally admitted. Nature seemed to have designed such a connec- tion of England with the conti- nent, judging from the geologi- cal formation. It is estimated that two tunnels placed 36 feet apart, could be constructed from Shakespeare Cliff, near Dover, to Sangatte, near Calias, for $SO,OOO,OOO. This is but a fraction of the cost of the Panama canal, which pre- sented abnormal engineering difficulties. It would pay in time of peace, for it would per init the crossing of the channel inside of forty minutes. It would also obviate the neces- sity of loading and unloading passengers and merchandise.
 There are circumstances that indicate that the construction of the tunnel is being pushed. There is a station each end and it is known that enough con- struction has been done to show the feasibility of the pro- ject. A great force of men are working at Dover, under condi- tions of remarkable secrecy. It is said that the German gener- al staff is so thoroly convinced that the work is under way that it is devising methods of boring down through the bot tom of the English Channel, with he hope of being able to destroy the upper wall of the tunnel.
 The military advantage of such a tunnel cannot be over estimated. It would permit the rushing of troops from Lon don to the battle front on the Somme within four or five hrs, without cost of transport and without danger from mines or submarines. To say nothing of the gain of time and the saving of lives, the tunnel would pay for itself in the economy in the handling of supplies

son, has been advised to leave the

made a pastoral call upon one Of the
members Of his flock. The husband
was out. the lady of the house was

lister, and invited him into the sitting
room. He was told the lady of the
house was dressing, but would see
him in few minutes. It is charged
that Rev. Stovall went into the lady's
dressing room.
The Rev. Stovall returned to Jack
son and Tuesday morning the injur-
ed husband went in search Of the
minister there. It is said that Mar

vented trouble, and Sheriff Hubbs

get the minister, when further
trouble was threatened and there was

tor. The minister was taken to

dition that he leave the parish. This
he is reported to have agreed to do.
