Would Tunnel EnaIIsh Channel.

A machine for tunnellng the English
Channel In 35 days has been brought
to the attention Of the British govern
ment by Mr.. John X. Hencken. q civil
engineer of New York, who states that
he has official approval Of his scheme.
The scheme contemplates boring four
tunnels by means Of eight machines
that will cut through earth and rock
at the rate of 100 feet per hour, and
provides not only for q trackway In
each tunnel, but a driveway, along
with mOtor-lOrrles could be driven
from England to the supply bases in
France. Mr.. Hencken asserts that he
can have the tunnels complete and
ready for operation within a few
months time, and declares that, should
the scheme be carried through, II
would release most of the shipping
now used between England and
France. 3

CITES FOLLY or WORRYING
Retired Business Man offers Some
Good, Honely Philosophy Based
on Long Experience. I

A retired business man now living
IN a soldiers home writes the follow.
Ing letter to a friend In the dry goods
market, and its homely philosophy and
confidence will be found refreshing:
"Slnce saw you have entered on
my seventy-seventh year. My expert
ence has taught me the folly Of wor.
rying over events cannot control. I
have much reason for gratitude, as l
have been allowed to live long. My
lines are cast in pleasant places, and
that Is more than many a millionaire
can truly say. | have little sympathy
for people who mourn their former
prosperity, just making themselves
miserable and their hearers uncomfort.
able.
"My five months captivity in n rebel
prison showed me how little, after all,
a person requires TO be perfectly hap.
by and contented. One good square
meal to the prisoners would have con.
verted the prison yard into picnic
grove. Even If you may meet
with ingratitude, your kind deed is re-
corded somewhere, and will be remem.
bered. l must stop pressing, perhaps
you will think I am getting into my
dotage."-New York Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin.

tions OF such nations, bearing the same
interest and maturing at the same time
as the Liberty Loan Bonds.
The wisdom Of this policy is beyond
question. By Strengthening these ma
tions and making them as powerful and
effective as possible we are greatly aid
ing in the shortening OF the struggle;
We are doing much TO insure an ulti'
mate victory; we are doing only that
which is our duty to do toward our
allies in this tremendous war against
autocracy which would debase and en-.
slave all nations and men.
The fact that il We did not advance
this money much Of the work which
the allies are doing would have to be
done with American money and Amer
lean men establishes clearly the INTEL
ligence and wisdom Of our policy.
There is work to be done which re-
quires the expenditure oI blood and
treasure. In making these money ad-
yances to Great Britain. France, Italy,
and other nations We are lending money
which will be returned to US, instead
Of expending sums possibly as great,
possibly greater, with no hope Of return.
IN addition, we are saving the lives oI
American soldiers.
/ No policy the American Govern
msnt has pursued is wiser or more truly
economical aad patroiotic.

lana Austen.

Andrew Lang's rhyme on the "Llfe

to Jane Austen, the centenary Of
whose death we celebrated recently
says the London Chronicle. Sixty
years passed away before any blog'
raphy of her appeared. Once the ball
was set rolling, however, 1t soon gath
cred force, and the number Of Lives"
Of that most modest Of authoresses
which have appeared since have amply
made up for the previous neglect. SO
little did Miss Austen like publicity
that Mr.. Austen-Leigh has told US that
during her lifetime "few of her read
ers knew even her name, and hone
knew more than her name" and on
her death In 1917 there was no men
