PLAN TO TUNNEL THE GISRAL- TAR STRAITS..

CIGANTIC UNDERTAKING ADVANCED BY A FAMOUS FRENCH ENGINEER.

PARIS, December 15th. A gigantic undertaking for tunnelling the Straits of Gibraltar is eriving attention now. M. Jean Berlier, a famous civil engineer, who is the author of the project, has just published in book form the result of his studies in con nection with it. Ile considers that an internn- tional tunnel, uniting Spain and Morocco and prolonged by a railway from Tangiers to Lalla Maglinia, would prove, invaluable for the suc- cessful development of France's African colonies.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JAARY 26, 1900.

Kantzow | member of the Magyar Independent Party,

was collecting signatures from Deputies for a Kyrican telegram of sympathy to President Koger-Kuster, Y. when he wet. M. Szilagi, perhaps the most Kane, Ars. O. generally respected politician in Hungary. M. Kemmber, D. F.

lenthaler promptly asked the great man for his signature, whercon M. Szilagi replied; "My signature to a telegram of sympathly to the Boers. No, certainly not. You are a member of the Party founded by Louis Kossuth, and yet you do not know what Hungary owes to Great Britain. Have you forgotten that Britain was the only country in which Kossuth could live in safety?"

"Yes," replied M. Henthaler, "I believe you are right." and the next moment the draft copy of the pro-Boer telegram was torn to pieces. No further effort has been made to send a friendly message of Great Britain's foes-form

UNCLAIMED LETTERS AT THE POST OFFICE.

From soundings taken by him, M. Berlier has proved the existence of a compact rocking Post. formation across the straits, which guarantees solidity and impermeability. The undertaking, he says, would be no more difficult than the piercing of Mont Cenis, 51. Gothard, Arlberg or Simplon. He adds that if diplomatic obst- acles are not greater than the natural ones, success is certain.

Letters for the following persons fie un claimed at the Post Office: Arnold, A. K. Angier, A. G. Abraham, J.

Ah Fong, Miss Amoy, Fanny Alekseiff, M. Armstrong, A. Alves & Ca. Messrs. All, Miss Ancel, M. Armsmocker Barker, A. M. Barton, W. T. Hückendorff, A. Brown Bros., N. P.

M. Berlier estimates that a tunnel of forty-one kilometrus (twenty-five and one-half miles) would cost $123,000,000, and that the work would require seven years. He calculates that the connection of the lines of the Algerian Railway system and extension from Tangiers 16 Lalla Maglinia would cost another $18,000,000 or $10,000,000, so that the whole enterprise would necessitate $142,000,000. To offset this expense M. Bertier shows that the approxi- mate yearly revenue would be $15.250,00. He already has received the consent of the Spanish Government the scheme and is working to obtain the authorization of the Aloonish Butt & Co. vernment create a tonsel terminus in its territory, S.

IMPROVEMENT IN WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY,

Presiune, December 17th.

Baki researches by Professor Reginald Fes senden and his assistant, Professor Kitner, in the electrical laboratory of the Western Uni versity of Pennsylvania have resulted in the production of a receiver for wireless telegraphy ihat is 2000 times more sensitive than the so- called coherer" of the Marconi system.

In speaking of the discovery Professor Fessenden said: "Although we have improved the receiver so that it is 2000 times as senitive as the original one, we realize that we Ive not yet began to see the limit. Marconi, in his brilliant experiments, has demonstrated that messages can be sent over ninety miles. As our receiver is several hundred times more sensitive, it is clear that the messages can be sent by our method very much farther, though just what the limit is 1 would not like to say. at least should be possible to send messages across the Atlantic with poles less than 200 feet high. The ultimate distance bust, be checked

NEW METHOD OF DETECTING

GOLD...

A new method of detecting the presence of a small quantity of gold has been recently dis. covered by Dr. Obler. By this method the persunce of quantities as low as 77 centigrams per ton may be established. The operation is as follows: A quantity of finely powdered ore, Gay 120 grams, is introduced into a flask. Tot han Yau Wing this an equal volume of tincture of iodine is added, and the mixture well agitated. It is then left an hour, agitating from time to lime, and is finally allowed to stand. When the solution has separated, a band of filter paper is saturated with this, and the paper allowed to dry. This operation is repealed five or six times in suc cession, in order to completely saturate the paper. It is afterward calcined, and it will be observed that the ash, when gold is present, offers a purple color. This color should disap- pear quickly if the ashy moistened with bru- mine water. The test pay be modified in the fullwing manner: A quantity of the powder. 120 grams, is covered with bromine water and after agitating during the course of an hour, the solution is filtererd. Upon adding prolochlori de of tin to the solution it takes a purple color, in the presence of gold, giving the reaction known as "Purple of Cassius." In the case of sulphides the ore should be previously roasted, and when the mineral contains a considerable proportion of carbonate of lime, it should be calcined in the presence of ammonium car- bonate.

AUSTRIAN COMPARISON.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.

VIENNA, December 19th. The reverses suffered by General Gatacre, Lord Methuen, and General Baller have given the Austrian Press almost inexhaustible material for a further series of open or veiled attacks on Great Britain.

Among the most interesting and suggestive of the comments of the Vienna Press is that of the Allgemeine Zeitwig, which writes:

"The present war in South Africa reminds us, in one respect, of the stuggle which took place a few years ago-between an Empire off four hundred million inhabitants and small country with a much smaller population-we mean the China Japanese War. It would be

absurd to carry this comparison to far. Greg Ghyke, Mr. and Mrs. Sternberg Mrs. H.

Britain, even if defeated in this war, is the country of civilisation par excellence, whereas the Boers have litte in common with Japanese culture. The result of the war in the Far East was a victory for western culture and civilisa- tlon, whereas the success of-the-Boers in the The present struggle will be the reverse. Chino-Japanese and the Anglo-Boer Wars can, however, be compared in so far as they may pro- duce similar results. After the Chino-Japanese War the world realised that China was an Em pire of the past, a mere historical conception, incapable of a healthy, independent existence, The Far East question at once arose, and every Power to-day considers itself a rightful claimant to some strip of Chinese territory. As soon as the weakness of China was realised its partition between the great nations of the earth began, Will not a similar development take place in the case of Great Britain? Is is not probable that the nations which envy the world. wide power, the vast possessions, and the un. -limited riches of the British Empire will con. clude from the progress of the war in South Africa that Great Britain is on the eve of decline and fall, and can, like China, be harass- ed with impunity?"

The Neue Freie Presse sharply-criticises the stragtegy and tactics adopted by the British generals, and ridicules the position of Lord Methuen, who little more than a month ago had his luggage labelled "To Pretoria, via Capetown."
