Plans for a tunnel under the Eng

1t is announced that England and
France are in perfect accord on the
subject, and that war experiences

ficulty is anticipated: through the
impervious gray chalk underlying the
channel bottom, electric drills will

showing. a sectional analysis of the
projected bore, gives clear idea of
the arrangement of the twin tubes,
depth of channel, and various strata
underlying the bottom. At the CEN
ter of its length the tunnel dips to
its lowest grade for one mile, con-
stituting a water lock which could
be flooded from the shore in case
of military necessity.
