FRENCH CANAL OPENED UNDER A MOUNTAIN I Watarway From Marseille? to Riva* j Rhona at Last Complota, \ Tbs canal under tbe mountain be tween- Marseilles, France, and tba river Rbone, constituting one of tbe : moat notable engineering achievements j of modern times, was officially opened tbe otber day in tbe presence of a dis-1 anguished gathering of members of tbs | cabinet nud other .officials.- . Hitherto Marseilles, although a great | port of entry for tbe Mediterranean, 'bas been-walled in from central France by a mountainous ridge that sweeps around the northern side of the city. The canal bi chiefly remarkable in that it pierces this barrier,. the waterway running for five miles in a tunnel un der a mountain. It thus has the effect of Unking Marseilles with island cities such as Lyons, Avignon and Valence and putting lt. in touch with tbe ex tensive Inland commerce along tho| river Rhone, It vf ill. also elvo - Marr s?illes a direct water connection with | Havre and the North sea. , The canal and its tunnel have been under discussion for nearly a hundred years, but actual work on them' was not begun until 1904. The length, of the canal ls sixty mlle.!, ard the five mlle section under - the mountain ds seventy-five feet wide and seventy feet li I gb, constituting what is declared to be the largest tunnel Interior in the world. Barges and vessels op to OOO | tons can navigate the canal, which, like the Kiel canal, it is believed, v/Ul have strategic value ia permitting the movement of destroyers and mn:\\\ warcraft between the Mediterranean and the North sea. The' cost ot tue work has been about 100.000,000 francs. TAKES FORTUNE OF $200,000. ? . '. . . . *. tulsa Kitchina Decidas to Accept Un cle*? Tatntad Money.'

London has passed an unusual law which requires that , baby carriages r h i11 be equipped \ with sidelights. While no adequate explanation is giv es, it ts believed that the new ruling was put Into effect because of the darkness into which tho streets are plunged becau?e of the fear of Zop-1 pel in raids. Baby carriage, wh'le not .'dangerous objects are objects ot danger and the fact, that they are compelled by law to be equipped with a lamp to light their way, lessens, gue ? possibilities of collisions. Tho law requires that the light shall show white Jn front and red in the rear. MOUNTAIN LIONS INVADE CITY Raring Animals Pursue Denvcraes; and Police ire ?*!*??<! Ont.
