A tunnel under the Bosphorus
has been talked of many times.
There is large traffic between the
two sides of the Bosphorus and
the delay caused by the opening
and shutting of the bridge of
boats which now forms the only
connection is great drawback.
The railroad company is now con-
structing its lines on both sides,
but this will not be of very great
avail until the lines can be con-
nected. Tunneling by the ordin-
ary methods is hindered by the
fact that the water is extremely
deep and there Is 20 or 80 feet Of
mud at the bottom. It has been
proposed to suspend or float a tun-
mel some IS feet below the surface
of the water, thus allowing unin-
terrupted passage to vessels of
even large draft. Tits impossible
to state whether this plan can be
carried out or not. There seems
to be great engineering difficulties
