Several months ago announcement
was made that the imperial govern

build tunnel under the Shimonoseki
strait. This strait separates the main
island of the japanese group, Hondo,
from the smaller island of K.ushu at
the south. 1t is now crossed by
car ferry which is rapidly becoming
insufficient to meet the demands that
are made upon IT, Two years are to
be spent In studying the geological
formation of the sea bed in the strait
and in drafting of the general plan
of work in preparation for the actual
undertaking of tunneling, so that the
real work will not commence until
1921. Engineers and workmen will be
sent to America and Europe to make
a study of what has been achieved in
these countries in the way of tunnel
engineering. The line is to be seven
miles long, one mile of which will be
entirely under the sea. The approxi-
mate cost of the undertaking will be
about $10000,000 and the work is ex-
pected TO be completed in 1S2S.-Sci-
