A machine for tunneling the English
Channel in thirty-fve days has been
brought to the attention OF the British
government by Mr. John X Hencken. a
civil engineer of New York, who states
that he has official approval OF his
scheme. The scheme contemplates bor-
ing four tunnels by means of eight ma
chimes that will cut through earth and
rock AZ the rate Of 100 feet per hour
and provides not only for a trackway
in each tunnel. but a driveway, along
which motor-lorries could be driven
from England 70 the supply bases in

can have the tunnels complete and
ready for operation within few
months time. and declares that, should
the scheme be carried through. IL would
