CHANNEL TUNNEL.
REVIVAL OF THE SCHEME..
FRENCH ENTERPRISE,
There is at the present moment a great revival of interest in France for the continuation of work on the tunnel which is to join the two great neighbouring and allied countries- France and England.
The Sociste Francaise du Tunnel Sout Marin" was founded withsthe approval of the French Government, on August 2, 1875. The capital was, 2,000,000, divided into 400 founders shares of 5.000f, each. The capital," having been realised, the company commenced wark at once. The point for the French end of the tunnel is situate at one kilometre away from the little village of Sangattr, and about 10 kilometres from Calais. Works were con- stected on this point, containing machinery....... similar to that used in boring mines, and after preliminary experiments, a vertical circular shafi or weil was bored, 60 metres in depth, from the bottom of which the piercing of the tunnel was begun.
But soon the 7,000,00of. capital were entirely exhausted by the necessary costly experiments. The founders therefore subscribed a further 500,0cof.
Thanks to this new capital the problems in- volved by the grent work were studied more satisfactorily. At present the experiments cannot be said to have reached the desirable state of perfection, for they are at the mercy of progress, which always marches onward, and of new inventions and improvements in the implements used for boring..
In 1981 the work stopped, owing to Parlia- ment throwing out the Bill, asking for powers to construct the English side of the tunnel.

been already pierced on both sides. The work of cutting-under the sea had progressed at the rate of 25 metres a day;
This, then, is the actual state of the tunnel to-day,
The engineer of the works at Sangatte, M. Ludovic Breton, has been studying the work for twenty-seven years, and has adopted all the recent inventions and perfections in tools. To-day, if the work be renewed, they will be able to bore much faster than 25 metres a. day.
Owing to the friendly entente nàw in existence between the two countries, M. Sartiaux, chief engineer, of the. Chemin de Fer du Nord, and M. Javary, engineer of the Maritime Service of the railway, went recently to Sangatle. Under the guidance of M. Ludovic Breton, they ex- plored the Sangatte' works, with the intention of arranging a project of joining the land en- trance of the tunnel with the Northern France | railway line.

CONTROLLED BY SOLDIERS.
Lord Lansdowne's reports on the subject is a profoundly interesting document. Its gist is contained in paragraph 116: "Holding these opinions, we have no course open to us except o recommend that this enterprise shall not be prohibited on merely political grounds, and that it be allowed to proceed, subject to the ordinary Parliamentary examination by Com. mities." He goes on to say (paragraph 137): "The conditions under which that sanction The tyre used as a standard for setting precision until the details of the project are ought to be given can scarcely be defined with

nion that the exit of the tunnel and its ap pranches should be placed under the exclusive control of the military authorities/
The apprehensions of danger are slated by Lord Lansdowne as follows:-
(1) A willingeras on the part of the Power in possession of the French end of the tunnel to attack this country treacherously, at a mo ment when our international relations could afford no indications of the imminence of such an attack.
(a) The passage of an invading force under circumstances which would enable it to elude notice from the time of its dispatch up to the moment of its arrival at the Dover works,
(3) The simultaneous seizure by surprise of the whole of those works.
(4) The success of this enterprise with such rapidity and completeness as to render it im possible for the defenders to put into operation any of the manifold appliances for the destruc- tion or temporary disabling of the tunnel.
(5) The neglect, on the part of the military authorities, of all the most obvious precautions for the safely of a place which, according to their own representations, would be of cardinal importance to the security of the nation,
(6) The inopportune interference of the de fence of the country,
As to the apprehensions, the minority pay E "The presence of most of these conditions, regarded separately, appears to us highly im probable. That the whole of them should concur, we believe to be so nearly inconceive able #XFRESSES, as to justify us in dismissing from our minds any apprehensions founded upon such an hypothesis."
