ON A CHANNEL TUNNEL.

PARIS-The tunnel under the Eng fish Channel. begun in 1876 and in- terrupted through the opposition of General Wolseley. could have been built for the price of four days of war to France and England-about 400 million francs-according to Prof. Alglave of the law faculty of the Sor- bonne. IL would have permitted the rapid transportation of troops in 122 trains day from Great Britain to France, avoiding the congestion of traffic in French ports and the enorm. ous increase in sea freight rates. Be sides the 122 trains of troops per day the tunnel would have accommodated freight transportation to the extent of 60,000 tons per day. Had work on it begun at the outbreak of hostilities, Prof. Elglave contends, the enterprise could have been carried to completion before the end of the conflict.
