Ls a mere matter of form several witnesses were called, but their examinations were brief, the prison- er having already confessed ,the purpose of his visit to ourllnes. Major Fukuwara read the allegations in a .low, distinct voice. 'i‘he prisoner listened with calm countenance. Then Judge I-Iamano arose and read the sentence. It was a shortly-worded document and very much to the point. It ended with these words: “I -therefore sentence Basil Ryahoif to death." _There is a peculiar fascination about the play of a man‘s features when he knows he"is' near 'to death.

Boséon work affords a fair basis of our noe s.

Ir this

tomskeaoomparison with the surveys and estimates of the proposed tunnel to connect Scotland and Ireland, made s. fewyesrs ago. The London Spectator at the time gave a report of the surveys from which wc gather the following.

The entire length of this tunnel would

be \34| miles, 25 ,of which would

he under water. Half the distance would .be through a very hard rock formation, while t-he other half would be though conditions not dlsslmiliar to our own. It was estimated that ten years would com- plete the work, and that it would require todefray the cost with full equipment. “The heading," however, or as we would say, the tunnel itself, was estimated to cost without equipments only $12.500.000.

But as an odsetagainst these estimates

as compared with our conditions the

man of Lleuunent Fugwm The lan" r connection it may be interesting following must be taken into account.

It was estimated that the harder rock cuttings for half the distance would be $500,0(X) per milein excess of the easier work, making an extra of atleast $8.06),- 000. The greater length would also greatly increase the proportionate cost. Moreover, the Scotch-irish tunnel was too

have an extensive sweep or curve, to

avoid deep water, which would also add something to the proportionate cost of construction as compared with u straight cut. I understand also that their tunnel was to be of suilicient capacity for a double track, while the great length, and English methods would. add -greatly to the cost of equipment as compared with our needs. In other words to reduce it to u fair basis for comparison with our con- ditions it would be necessary to deduct about twelve millions of dollars from the estimated cost. Say thirty-eight millions, fully equipped, instead of fifty. ‘ »

Now for all practical purposes of com-

parison \ve may regard our tunnel as being about one third the length of theirs. 'l‘his being so, on the above estimates we arrive at the following interesting con- clusions for our tunnel: --

Cost of cutting only $ 4.Il00.l)0il Cost of tunnel fully equipped i2.5|l0.il00

Time required to construct 3§ years. When we consider the skill of English

engineers and their tendency to be oon- servatiue in their estimates these figures are calculated to be the more impressive. All rail communication with the ccn~ tinent for 1% million dollarsl Without considering the commercial advantage to the province, it is quite probably a. fact that a tunnel at this cost would be act- ually cheaper than the maintenance of present facilities.

Another fact perhaps worthy of note is

that such a tunnel would bring all travel from l,’ort-aux-Basques, Nfid., about four hours nearer to, Boston or Montreal via Souris than vla'Sydney,' C. B.

If these estimates even approximate the

truth, it would seem that thc time had come for ua to unite in demanding a tunnel. Yourexcellent paper has, in the past, been largely instrumental in brlng~ ing about much needed reforms. A crowning work would be to advocate the passing of the ice-boat and the il passing of our insuiarity, by cliauipioninglmur rights in this moat important matterf,
