Railroad.

One Of the most remarkable rail-
roads In the world is to be built in
France, to run up the Aiguille du Midi,
which rises abruptly to a height of
12.60S feet. The object Of the under.
taking will be to show the unmatched
glories Of Mont Blanc and It's chain OF
peaks and glaciers. Instead Of run
ming on solid ground, however, like
most of the Swiss mountain railroads,
1t is to go through the air on pylons
and cables, swinging from peak to
peak, far above the eternal SHOWS and
glaciers. The starting station of the
line is situated down In the Valley OF
ChRmonix.
