uilDER THE CHANNEL

iFrenchman Believes Project Will Be Done in 5 Years.

PARJS, sept. 27 M, Sartiaux, chief ngincer to ihs Nortittrn of France Hallway has expressed the opinion that within ftve years at the most the long-projected Channel tunnel will be an accomplished fact, and that it will he inaugurated by King George and President Poincafre shaking bands in the renter of the tunnel. "The tunnel, naid M. Sartiaux. "u!d bring Paris within fire and a half houiB of London, and given a good train service, a person leavin? either of the two cities at eight or nine o'clock in the morning would arrive at the other end about two o'clock. Starting on his return journey at f p. m. or 7 p. m. he would be home again about midnight," ,l'Apart from the great increase which in sure to follow in passenger traffic, trade- between the two countries would rereivotan enormous impetus. "Official Customs returns show that during the period from 1904 to 1911, there was an increase of 20 per cent In the value of Anglo-French trade, while their increase between France and Germany has grown by f0 per cent. "Even with the very improbable assumption that. Anglo-French relations should at some future; lime lose their cordial character, the plans for the tunnel have been conceived in such a manner that British guns could instantly destroy the viaducts which have been designed by French engineers. Besides, the trains would run by means of electricity, and nothing would be easier than to cut the cables. "In any circumstances, the tunnel would be found a moist useful medium of defense by Great Britain. "The cost of the tunnel, which would have to be constructed at a depth of about 350 feet beneath the surface, would amount to about $80,000,000 which would be speedily subscribed by the Nord and other companies, convinced as they all are .of the financial success of the undertaking."

The adventuress was traced two days later to a small hotel in Vichy, htut when she saw the detectives approaching she promptly asked to see 'the manageress. Bursting into tears, she explained to the manageress that ishe was running away from her jealous husband and that the detectives were coming to fetch her away, "Give ime acap and apron," she said, "and I will pose as a servant." The manageress, touched by lur appeal, com'plied with her request and thus the adventuress was able to leave the hotel.

THINGS HE DIDN'T KNOW.

WHO ARE THEY?

ALL WHO KNOCK

They Were Many, but That Didnt Keep Him From Giving an Opinion. A well known architect was summoned as a witness in a Long Island court iu a suit over the cost of a building. The lawyer whose duty it was to cross examine started in to attack the credibility of the witness. "Do you know bow much a hundred these bricks cost?" ' "1 do not." "Do you know how much this cement cost per bag?" 'o." "Do you know how expensive sand is down here?" "I can't say that I do exactly." The lawyer looked at the witness with fine scorn. "And yet you pretend to come here and qualify as an expert. How can you give any kind of an opinion on how much this building ought to have cost when you don't know the prices of the material it's made of?" The witness looked at the lawyer with a flash in his eye that boded ill. "Well." he said. "1 don't know the price of needles nor the price of thread nor how much cheap cotton material costs, but I don't hesitate to express a solemn opinion that that suit of clothes you're wearing cost about $.".50."

CROOKED BILLET INN.

Condon's Oldest Public House and Its Romantic Interior. The Crooked Billet, an inn which Hands upon Tower hill, boasts itself, says the London Graphic, as the oldest ;ublic house in London. How far back its history goes it would bo impossible to say. The records are wanting, but there is every reason to believe that the inn dates from the time of Henry VIII. Certainly no Loudon inn is more romantic in the matter of sliding panels and concealed doors, secret rooms and underground passages one of these reputedly leads to the Tower and thick walls richly carved. In the principal reception room are to bo seen some magnificent oak panelings. a quaintly carved fxeize above the door and a uo less richly carved mantelpiece. The ceiling is covered with a number of strange devices, with a female head believed to represent Queen Elizabeth in the center. The windows looking out upon the street are fastened with shutters clamped with huge iron bars. There is a tradition that Oliver Cromwell once lived (or lodged) at the Crooked Billet. The place was known in those days as "the old house at the bottom of the Minories."
