RAILROAD ACROSS THE At
LANTIC.
A French Engineer Thinks II Is PrSStsea
BILE with submerged Tubes.


BILE with submerged Tubes.
A railroad across the Atlantic is on
the list of possibilities for future
achievement of science. Many years
ago civil engineer read paper before
the French Academy suggesting sub
marine railway. His theory was that
at a certain depth of the ocean, hun
dred fathoms or more-far below any
agitation from surface storms, the wa
ter is of such density that nothing in
tubular form, whatever the weight,
can possibly sink
Having thus made foundation in
the very bowels of old Neptune, he
proposed to sink a continuous line of
immense iron tubes-after the manner
of cable laying-in which a double
track could be laid between Cape
Clear, Ireland, and Cape Race, New
foundland, and thus send trains boom
ing through the tube, to the consterna-
ton of the sea serpent and the mortal
terror of the big and little fishes.
The only serious objection this
learned academician could see TO the
successful termination of this widest OF
all deep-sea schemes was the suffocating
effects of the smoke from engines used
in a submarine railway tube; if this
could be overcome, ne said, then the
grand oceanic railroad only required
the necessary construction capital.
In the light of present day science,
when electricity is locked upon as the
handiest as well as the most unique of
all motive force, why may we not rea-
sonably expect the French Academy to
demonstrate the practicability of their
learned fellows views.
Then again, the Keely motor lacks
only one turn of being success, to say
nothing of the perpetual motion ma
chimes now incubating in this and other
cities of the United States. All of his
scientific objections IN regard to smoke
having been overcome, let us call on
the French to build their water-sus-
pended oceanic railway in time for the
great Worlds Fair of 1898. For down
right fairness" of conception this
Atlantic railway scheme beats M. Ver-
ards st. Anne's bridge across the
English Channel all hollow, and for
visionary musings commend us to q
French savant every time.-St. Louis
Republic.
