A single paragraph in recent dispatches
announced the success of one of the great
est of all modern engineering efforts. The
Mont Cents tunnel, through the Alps be-
tween France and Italy, has been pushed
through the mountain and the two parties
working from opposite sides, came togeth-
er on Tuesday, Dec. 9Th. For years and
years this great work has gone on, steadily
pushed by the two governments, and em-
ploy ing soilo Of the ablest civil engineers
and machinists of The age. Special ma
chinery had to be invented, as it was soon
evident that powder and the hand-drill
would never accomplish the work. It was
here first that drills were worked by COM
pressed air and mountain stream was
made to drive the air-pumps; while the
engines and drills thousands of feet away
in the interior of the mountain, steadily
pecked their way through.
1t was to pass the Alps while the tunnel
was in progress that a railroad track and
train was invented and successfully work.

1t was no small feat to so direct the
courses of the two tunnels that they should
meet each other away under the base of
huge mountain. But now it is done, and
all undertaking which snrpasses by far the
boldest attempt of the kind in this
country, the Hoosac tunnel, is fairly
brought to a successful end for the finish

perforated is the simplest of work.
