A FIonting RaIlroad Tunnel.

FROM inc tNtW lOik Times.
What may interest American engineers
Is the fact that the porte has q scheme
on foot to tunnel under the Bosphorus.
There is an enormous traffic between the
two sides of the Bosphorus, and the delay
caused by the opening and shutting OF the
bridge of boats which forms now the only
means Of communication, Is very trouble
some. A railroad company is now con-
structing its lines on both Sides but little
real profit Is expected until the lines can
be connected. Hitherto this has been i'm
possible. as the existing bridges are scarce
~ large enough for the ordinary passen-
ger, TO say nothing of the constant inter-
ruptlon Tunneling by the ordinary way
Is not to be thought Of, as the water is
extremely deep, with twenty or thirty feet
of mud at the bottom. Engineers Of this
age are not TO be lightly baffled however
The chief engineer OF the porte has sug-
gested a means Of solving the problem
He proposes TO suspend or float a tunnel
at about thirty-dve feet below the surface
of the water, allowing uninterrupted pas
sage to vessels Of the largest tonnage.
The Golden Horn has no tide. The tunnel
Is to be a wrought iron tube about ten
feet IN diameter and 100 feet long The
gradient at each end would be fifty II
would weigh about 600 tons; maximum
weight of any train, 400 tons; concrete and
lining TO overcome the buoyancy Of the
tube, LOO tons; water displacement, 2,700
tons. Holding down chains of great
strength will neutralze the upward strain
when the train Is not passing. II is re-
ported that a Russian firm viii furnish
the structure. What the firm has receive

ELECTRICITY FOR COACHES.

Triton, Ga. Sept. 2S-Dr p. w. Alex

attachment to a car axle for lighting, heat
ing and ventilating the car by frictional
electricity, patented about year ago, re-
ceived so much attention, has just perfect
ed an improvement in this patent that is
perfect in every respect
The machine, as improved, is simplicity
Itself. containing only about one dozen
pieces or parts, which, together with
storage battery, can be placed in a box
three feet long underneath the car All
exposed parts are dust-proof, and the pow
er necessary to run the machine at full
speed is not more than would be required
to carry one passenger.
The mechanism is so arranged that no
matter how fast or slow the car goes. the
speed of the generator remains the same,
and a speed of fifteen or twenty miles an
hour by the car is sufficient to generate
enough electricity for light, heat or VEN
tilation.
The electric generator, ne says, viii fur
nish from friction caused by the turning
axle of the car, sufficient electricity to
light the car, run electric fans, or for heat
ing purposes A storage battery accumu-
lates a sufficient supply, while the car is
