"The longest part of the Alpine chaip, not, pierced by a tunnel, lies between the Mont Cenis sad the Simplon linas. The distance is 186 miles. A straight line drawn on the map from Paris to Genoa will out this gap about the middle and will touch Dijon, Genera, Mont Blanc Chirasso, azd, Asti, thus it not only gives the shortest route between Paris and Genoa, but also provides for important towns between. Once such a railway is complated, then we shall have the shortest route between PAS and London, the two grast commercial and business centres of Europe, on the one Hand and Upper Italy, or more accurately, the triangle Turin-Milan-Glenoa, ou, the other; and from the latter, the main routes atast which go to the Tyrrhenian Sea, to Rome, and Naples and the Adriatic, By far the greater part of these, long nud important routes are already equipped with railways.
The shortest.way from Geneva to Italy passes through the mass of Mont Blanc, which is to be pierced by a tunsel; seb. sequent to this the line is to descend to the Piedmont by the Dora Balten Valley.
