Where Tunnels Meet.
From Tit-Bits.

TrOm Ift-Eits.
In driving the long Simpion tunnel under
the Alps a fine test was offered of the &C
curacy with which engineering science can
guide the direction of two parties of work
ers starting twelve miles apart so that they
will meet in the heart of a mountain. Three
principal elements had to be calculated
the total length. the level and the direction
as To right or left. When the two bOres
met in the middle it was found that the
length--the least important of the ele-
ments-differed only about thirty-one inches
from the calculated value; the difference
in level was less than four inches. and the
error in direction from one end was less
than five inches, from the other less than
four inches. The success of the engineers
was remarkable, considering that the tun-
mel is twelve and one third miles long.
