Tunnels.

a New York newspaper remarks that
"ferries came and ferries go. bridges
rise and bridges fall, but tunnels last
forever" There is a scientific truth in
the observation. OF all works of man
earthworks, plain earth mounds sodded
over. are about the most enduring. A
properly constructed tunnel is essen
tally work in earth and so almost as
permanent as the great globe itself.
