The Alpluc Tunnel.

The greatest tunnel In the world Is that
now being bored through the Alps by French
capitalists, TOR the purpose of connecting
aasa,s hranse md Italy by railway. Late European
on Tue Italian side Of the Alps at Bardon-
ncehc. There the work has been conducted
with greater rapldity and with less difficulty
than on the other. The work, 50 far as the
pelfosators have reached, has been homblendc.
nuca and catcareous schiste, comparatively
e;asy g; to pierce. At last accounts, however,
formation which Is Inaltrated With
seins. ol quartz, and which, when
struck BY one Of tile drills, twists 1t into a
very auger. still they are advancing from
t~o 10 three metres per day, and by the end
81 the year expect to have made eight hun.
drcd metres: By the old process OF working
hnt two hundred metres year were made.
as IN exhibition Of the difference between
the progress upon the 1talian mud the French
side, It may be stated that In the month Of
september last, while IN advance Of sixty-
eight metres and ninety ccntlmetrcs was

Tres ana half were made at Fourpeux.
By the end Of the present year, the engineers
calculate, ut the present rnte Of progress, the
tunnel upon this side will bare reached a dis
iaHco OF 7, ,llu metres, or about $50 yards,
INTO the bowels Of the Alps. As the whole
tunnel ls TO be l1:so metres, or about i, 22}3
yards, In length, 1t will be seen that upon
this side more than one.half the distance from
the entrance to the centre of the tunnel will
be completed. Upon the other sfdo 1t Is
calculated that If no greater obstacles than
those already encountered are met with be-
