BRIDGING THE CHANNEL.

M. Verard de Sainte Anne, the promoter of a viaduct
across the Channel, has addressed a letter to President
(bevy in which he states that he conceived the scheme
twenty-five years ago, and that all his anticipations have
been successively verified. The soundings, reducing the
greatest depth to 30 and M metres, the solidity of the
rock for the pillars, the easily resisted strength of the
current and wind, show the feasibility of the scheme.
Estimates based on official data insure an income the
very first year exceeding the original revenue of the
greed French lines now so prosperous, but to preclude all
miscalculation an international comm,ssion of specialists
will test the figures. Immediately after this the pre-
liminary operations will he commenced, and everything
foreshadows that in, at most, five years the express train
from Paris ant London will cross the Straits in perfect
safety. M. Verard, who is an engineer, gives • diagram
of the viaduct, showing shout 40 pillars, the largest spans
numberin4 six—via, three at one-third the distance from
each shore, the portion of the railway above these being
tubular and the rest open. Last week the chairman and
directors of the South-Eastfrrn Railway, and other gentle-
men, inspected he important works now being carried on
bs• Messrs. Beaumont and On., at Abhotsoliff. near
Fo'kestone, in coon-ction with the proposed Channel
tunnel. MM. Leon Say and Raoul Duval were expected,
I.ut were prevented from coming by unfavourable weathe,.
So far, the boring is a complete success. The powerful
