Tunnel Through the Alps.

The greatest single engineering
Seg is theigtupI
mel for d railroRd through Mont
Gents. A report on this subject
has lately been presented to the
lower House ofthe Italian ParIiai
ment by the Minister Of Public
Works. This tunnel was begun in
1851, and that year and the two
following were spent in prelimi'
nary operations, such as the con.
strUcti0n Of houses, workshops, &c.
When completed it will he nearly

AL English engineer, sIt in opera.
ton a steam boring machine, soon
after operations were commenced,
and about eight times the buanti,
ty OF work, was done by it that had
been done by hand. But steam
could not be used for boring in the
interior of the tunnel, ON account
ola want of air. The Italian en-,
gineers thea proposed to substitute
comprcjscd air instead Of steam;
and their method is now in full
operation.
THIS tunnel, when completed,
will unite Fraee with Italy, by raj ,
and it is to be ajoiut work between
the Governments Of tho two counl
tries, France paying a large porl
ton Of the cost. 1t is calculated
that this tunncl will be completed
in twelve and . half years from tic
period Of its commencement but
with ordinary hand drilling 1t
would hove required twenty-five
years labor. This work proceeds
now at-the rate $500 feet per an,
mum. The use Of compressed ali
to operate the drilling machines,
not only affords the power for thi;
purpose, but also supplies air fol
respiration to the miners. At one

other,900. The cost thus far ha;
