1t is proposed TO- lay down caS' irori'
tube for railway purposes between Eng
land and France: phc tubc would be com
mcnccd at ohc sido Of the cIAnnul, and
laid at tho bottom Of the scN being built
up inside hosrizonta! cylinder or bell,
to be constantly pushed forward as tho
building up Of the tube procctdGd.' The
line selected for the tube to Gt thhs sub
merged is close to Dover, oh Tie English
side Of the Channel, and Would extend
to Cape Grisnex on the Ffchch eoase,.
the distance between tho two points bo.
ing twenty-five miles, md tic average
depth of water one hundred ahd' tch' feet.
According to- this plan, tho tue would
be mNdc large enough for the pnssngc of
railway carriages of ordinary constric.
ton, whilst the traffic could 10 worked
by pneumatic pressure, thus securing a
constant stpply Of purc air, and at the
same timo'preventng the possibility Of d.
collision. 1t is estimated that d slow
train will DO ablo to accomplish tho
distance in ono hour and Six minutes.
Five thousand passengers and ten thon.
sand tons Of goods cohld be conveyed
through tho tubo daily.
