SAVE S5O,OOO ON TUNNEL.
City to Drill Through. Johnny Cake
 Mountain in Burlington.

City Engineer w. H. Hall today re- ported to the water commissioners the feasibility of drilling a tunnel through the west side of Johnny Cake noun tain in Burlington to connect the Bur- lington supply brook with the Whig- vile system. l.. Grant of Hartford has for some time been drilling test holes along the route Of the proposed tunnel and the final test hole showed rock at no great depth. The finding of rock determines the feasibility of the tunnel.
 Had the underlying strata been soft it was planned to build a pipe line following around about course and crossing numerous ravires. The water department engineers figure the tun- nel will save the city $50,000 on the job The work of driving the tunnel will probably be delayed until fall.

France, including the celebrated Cav illier family whose founder, Robert, established himself at Noyon, where he cast the great bell of that town in I61O There has been no news from this masterpiece for more than eighteen months, nor of those of I1aon, cast by his son Philippe, prob ably still intact.
 Nearly all the ancient bells of the departm ents of the Aisne and the Somme were cast by the Cavilliers, while those Of Champagne and Lor- raine, of lesser importance but i'll many cases of equal workmanship. were mostly the work of itinerant bell founders who set out each spring to exercise their art. They dug ditches beside churches in which to do the casting and the operation was the occasion of interesting and pie tureSque ceremonies during which the faithful sang the Te Deum.
 Not all the old bell masterpieces that of Ramscapelle, melted in the were damaged or destroyed. SoG!e were cracked, some melted in con- fagrations while others had semi- miraculous escapes like a celebrated carved bell in the little chapel of Reuve. The building was leVeIed hy shell fire but the bell landed at the bottom of the belfry without even a scratch.

SilenCed by War for First Time in
 Many Centuries
(Correspondence of The Associated Press

Correspondence of The Associated pres.'
 Paris, April 25-No Easter bells were heard this year from three hum dred or more cathedral and church belfries in regions of France and Beligum where bells and chimes have been in great honor since the 18th century.
 The "Bourdon, the great eleven and half ton bell of the Rheims cathedral was silent last year, as well as the big bells of Albert, Scissors and Senlis and the lesser bells and chimes of two hundred more church. es. The cathedral of Verdun joined them this year with several score Jf belfries in the zone of the French armies that have succumbed during the second year of war. How many more have been silenced in the zone of the German armies here; it is and Belgium is unknown here; 1t is known, however, that in preparation for the battle of Verdun, the Ger mans demolished every steeple, spire or tower that might have served as bearings for the French artillery in that region.
 The invaded regions of France may be properly termed the paradise of bells. There were no less than 40 fine ancient specimens of the most renowned founders work in the canton of Rethel, in the department of the Ardennes, alone. In the same department, the canton of Asfeld had 3S and the canton of Chateau-PCr- cier 37. Other rare specimens were scattered all over French Flanders, Artois and the departments of the Nord and the Aisne.
