FRENCH CANAL OPENED
UNDER A MOUNTAIN
Waterway From MarseIiIes to River
Rhone at Last Complete.

The canal under the mountain be-
tween Marseilles. France, and the
river Rhone, constituting one of the
most notable engineering achievements
the other day in the presence of dis
tinguished gathering of members of the
cabinet and other officials.
Hitherto Marseilles. although a great
port of entry for the Mediterranean.
has been walled IN from central France
by a mounta nous ridge that sweeps
around the norther side of the city.
The canal is chiefly remarkable in that
it pierces this barrier. the waterway
der Il mountain. 1t thus has the effect
of linking Marseilles with inland cities
such as Lyons, Ayignon and Nalence
and putting it in touch with the eX
river Rhone. 1t Will also give Mar
settles direct water connection with
Hayre and the North sea.
The canal and its tunnel have been
under discussion for nearly hundred
years, but actual work on them was
not begun until 1904. The length Of
the canal is sixty miles. and the five
mile section under the mountain is
seventy-five feet wide and seventy feet
high, constituting what is declared to
he the largest tunnel interior in the
world. Barses and vessels up TO COO
tons can navigate the canal. which.
like the Kie canal. it is believed. will
have strategic value in permitting the
movement Of destroyers and small
warcraft between the Mediterranean
and the North sea. The cost of the
work has been about 100 100000 francs.
