PROJECT READY
FOR WORK NOW
LONDON.—Intense interest has
been aroused by the government's
announcement that the long Pro
jected tunnel under the English
Channel to connect England and
France is soon to be constructed.
The cost of the enterprise is roughly
estimated at S100,000,000. Some
say the tunnel could be completed
! in five and one-half years.
! A commission in Faris which has
been discussing this project also is
considering the building of tunnels
under the Bosphorus, connecting
Europe with Asia, and one from
Gibralter connecting Europe with
Africa.
The English Channel Tunnel com
pany already has done a vast amount
of work in anticipation of the re
sumption of actual construction of
the tunnel to France. Engineering
plans are said to be so far advanced
that the work could begin at once.
With the exception of the Panama
Canal, it will be the biggest engin
eering enterprise of modern times.
The total length, including approach
es in England and France, will be
32 miles, with more than SIS miles
of it under the sea. The plans pro
vide for two tunnels, each eighteen.
feet in diameter, connected by
cross galleries a: intervals of 200
1 yards. The maximum depth of
water on the route is ISO feet, and1
a cover of chalk about 100 feet
thick would be left undisturbed
abave the crown of the tunnel to
provide against danger from enemy,
attack with submarine explosives.
The tunnel's level below the sea
thus will be about 280 feet.
Iron tubes will be built as the
tunnel advances. The extraordinary
advance made in tunneling in recent
years, especially in the United
- States, will enable the engineers to
proceed with great speed. The rail
way lines will be operated by elec
iimp-;
i tricitv as in the case of the S
Ion tunnel under the Swiss moun
tain of that name, and which is
'121s miles in length, the longest at
present in the world.
1
Before the war the quickest serv
ice from London to Paris was in j
six hours and 45 minutes. With the ,
tunnel the journey could be made j
in six hours, whatever the weather, j
Speaking of the problems of!
building the tunnel, English engin
eers say the sea itself offers no
difficulty, that the only risk lies in
the geological formations. The first
layer under the channel is white
ihalk, and beneath this is a belt of
gray chalk some 300 feet thick.
The great question is whether the
’ gray chalk is impervious to water.:
The exact points for starting th*
; tunnel have not been determined,
' but expert opinion favors a spot
just behind Dover and, in France,
: a point close to Cape Grisnez.
j The tunnel will be capable of j
handling 30,000 passengers 3nd 30,- ij
1000 tons of goods each way every j
, 24 hours. Ordinary railway rolling !
stock, including sleeping and din- j j
ing cars, will be able to use the • i
route. i

WASTE OF FUFF
LOXDOX.—The government plan
to build 330,000 houses for work
men within the next few years ap
parently has aroused the Britisn
public to demand abolition of the
archaic English fireplace, and sub
stitution of the American steam
heating system for homes. The de
mand is voiced by numerous con
tributors to the London newspapers.
“If I had my way I would at once
send out a commission of British
architects to America and Canada
to learn there the elements of the
business of building houses and
equipping them." declares one
writer.
“One fundamental defect runs
through practically all British houses
of whatever grade," he continues.
"They depend for their heating on
fires. Xow the English fire is an
admirable invention from every as
pect except that of utility and
cleanliness. It is cheerful, com
panionable, soporific, sentimental—
an altogether delightful thing to
have in a room. It has. howver.
two vital drawbacks, it does not
heat and it is abominably dirty.
"I mean that it does not heat
properly. Its radius is so limited
that over half an average English
drawing room is not used in winter
time. To move twelve feet away
from the fireplace is to ieave the
Tropic of Capricorn and enter the
Arctic Circle, while as for sitting
comfortably near the window, the
thing is inconceivable.
‘ In the second place, even within
its meager radius, a fire never does
its work thoroughly. It never warms
cou all over. One side is grilled,
the other is underdone. Your face
is aglow, your back a ripple of
cicles.”
The writer called attention to
the acknowledged fact that in spite
if the labor of carrying coal for
rrate fires, fully 80 per cent of the
leai is wasted, going up the chim
ley.

shall never "nave either sanity or
comfort in our homes until we adopt
the central heating system (.steam
or hot air furnaces) spread warmth
throughout the house, not in patches
and burn wood on the hearth to
supply the element of cheerfulness
