complicated. and the conclusion may not be
sound, but it is interesting. At any rate, it
will make fine picking for the courts.

IF the report is true that band of Iaqui

tachment OF troops in Mexico, il should not
he taken as an indication of Mexican hos
tility toward this country. but only as another
outbreak of sheer deviltry on the part of the

Saving an Hour of Daylight

GENERAL months ago the Germans decided
~ that the time had come 10 stop wasting
daylight Being scientific in all things and
particularly in the matter OF government,
they accomplished their purpose by a simple
eHpedent: the Kaiser issued an order setting
every ciockIn the empire up an hour. and the
thlng was done. Instead of lying in bed an
hour or TWO after the sun is up, because the
clock hands point to six, all good and loyal
Gcrn!anE now get up at that hour because
the Kaiser says IL is seven, and the clocks
obey him. And, at the other end OF the dav
everybody goes 10 bed an hour earlier than
formerly, because the Kaiser says il is later
than ii really is, and the clocks again obey
him

VantageS OF the new system, il can be nut

has been made along this line however. ia

Under the notwithstanding system of

earlier, which is hardly noticed except by
those who begin their toll with ola vbre,k
But at the end Of the day. everybody has an

CHANNEL TUNNEL,
PLAN is REVIVED AGAIN

ton from 1873 to 1886 The Mersey
tunnel between Liverpool and Birk-
enhead. opened the same year, was in
course of construction for six years.
The longest tunnel in the world is the
Simplon G2A miles) through the Alps
opened in 1906. 1t cost about G4.000.-
900. Other tunnels of note are the st.
Gothard t9l2 miles), opened in 1881;
Mont Cents Is miles,, the first to pierce
the Alps; Arlberg (612 miles,, opened
in 1884, which connects the Austrian
and Swiss railway systems. and the
Hoosac t43. miles,, in the United
States.
AS to engineering difficulties. the en-
gineer in charge of the New York sub
way construction has said that he be-
lieves the building of the channel
tunnel would be an easier task than
the building of the East river tunnel.
"Of course" he is reported to have
said, lit would be immeasurably more
spectacular. The Panama canal is a
far more impressive work than the
East river tunnel, but it's construction
was almost child's play by COMPARE
son."
