THE WORLDS GREAT TUNNELS.
The Cost of Construction Has Been Largely
Reduced of Late.

In comparing the four great tunnels IL
Is interesting 20 note that time Is ar, ex-
traordinary element In tho cost. The old
est tunnel-Hoosac-cost 1912 foot;
Mount Cenis, next Oldest, cost 1856 a foot;
st. Gothard cost s220 foot, and the most
recent tunnel of the four-the Arlberg-
cost only Sl54 foot. All four were in
old settled countries, with abundant labor
and the very great difference in cost per
foot plainly marks the progress Of science
because IL was the invention and improve
ment i'm tools that made it possible to re-
duce the time and thus the cost.
To observe tho differences between the
work on the three great European tunnels,
built by government aid in old settled
countries, ID may be well to observe for q
moment the work done on comparatively
small tunnel built far from civilization
through the Cascade mountains on the line
of the Northern Pacific railroad. The
mountain through which the tunnel was
cut is 1870 feet above the sea, and the
peak is /, 135 feet above the floor of tho tun-
mel. TO understand the magnitude and
difficulty OF this undertaking il must he
observed that the site of the tunnel, at the
time the contract for its construction was
signed, was an unbroken wilderness.
AT the then existing terminus OF rail
connection everything, men and tents,
food, horses, machinery, lumber, hospitals
and, in fact, tho material of an army had
20 DO transported over improyised roads 50
miles through forest, through snow and
mud 20 the east portal Of the tunnel and
81 miles 10 the west portal Six months
passed before all tho machinery was on
tho spot. Rivers had TO bo turned aside,
bridges built, camps established and men
and horses collected, fed, housed and cared
for nearly 100 miles from a locomotive.
The tunnel is 1914 feet wide and 22 feet
high, and the entire distance, s, $50 feet,
was bored through the mountain I'm %
months, tho ratio Of progress with the pow.
or drills being 4l3 feet month, and tho
cost of the completed tunnel was only sllS
a foot, and the entire work was completed
in 2s months from tho signing Of the con.
tract in New York city. y.-Chautauquan.
