Having dared the summit Of the Rigi,
and found that this mountain was inhab-
tied by neither bad nor good gods. they
set men to work making road up the
mountain side When Napoleon became
Emperor Of France he had many roads
built to bring france and Switzerland
closer together. and to make access Of
the different cantons easier.
But many of the finest engineering
roads built across the mountains are
Swiss enterprises. Long before the Al
bula Railroad was built the Engadine,
splendid post road, had been cut through
the mountain chains to take the fashion
able world by coach to St Moritz. AID
other splendid carriage road was cut
across the sernese Oberland, making the
highest mountain passes accessible to the
people of Berne ahd Lucerne. One OF the
most difficult and daring is the Simplon;
1t goes into Italy, and was the only
mode of access before the building OF the
tunnel. The tunnel was not begun until
1898, by Bennett. Brandau & Co. II Is on
