As the water is too sballow for a propeller, aud the roof too low for a trolley wire, four steel ropes have beeu. laid through the tunnel, and these pass through the bottom of ally-driven grooved wheels. The the boat and round two electrice.

The cella aro charged by a special plantat one end of the tannel-which is 2,000 yards long and while one accumulator bargo is in use an other is being charged. By this means, 17 boats, each carrying 20 tons, can be towed through in about 40 minutes, whereas the journey used to take each boat from two to four hours,
