Talk Of a Behrlng strait railroad is
revived by the development Of rail
road enterprises in Alaska and British
Columbia. Rear Admiral Melville is
quoted MS asserting that In his opinion
a tunnel under Behring strait is not i'm
practicable, because the strait is only
thirty-eight miles wide, and the Do
mede islands divide the distance and
furnish ground for an air-shaft. But it
Is not likely that America will be con-
nected with Asia in this way. as the
long and barren stretches Of road on
both sides of the strait would be for
bidding to travellers. Moreover. freight
Ing would be expensive in comparison
with water transportation. A tunnel
would cost millions of dollars. but even
II the 'Miocene ridge" which some ge-
ologists believe formerly connected
America and Asia, were where Behring
strait now exists, the mooted railway
would probably not be constructed. The
is a visionary one that is brought
tO'the front occasionally by writer's in
need of subjects. The proposition is
very impracticable simply because cap
