A most reraarkable engineerieg projeot was suggested at the talent meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute in Paris. This la nothing leas than 'the erection of a greet bridge between France and England, front Cape Grienez to Folkestone. An ides of what is involved in this gigantic: under- taking may be gathered from some esti- matee prepared by the proposers of the project. The length of the bridge would be 24 miles, the numberr, of piers 120, the headway for ships 180 feet, and the height from the foundation to the top of the structure OD feet. it is propoeed to build the bridge entirely of steel. To de this 1,000,000 tone of steel would be required, and the cost of the bridge, it 19 entinitted, would amount to about 0175,000,000. The project would have iettraoted less atten- tion than it has but for the feat that it eves suggested by tti. Sohneider, of Creueot, the leading French iron master, and M. Heraent, a very elninent engineer of that country, end was endorsed by Sir John "Fowler and Mr. Baker, the chief engineers of the Forth bridge. The examination of the project by these anthorities has con- vinced them that it infolvee no diftionitiee cannot be overcome by engineering skill.
