By the time that trains are run- ning under the British Channel, con- necting Lnoden with Paris—which ought to be within half a dozen years from now—there is likely to be a tunnel beneath the Bosporus. With these two borings accom- plished, it will be entirely practicable to, establish an all -rail route from London to the Cape of Good Hope, running Blear across Europe and the whole length of Africa. C.ecil Rhodes's "Cape to Cairo" dream may be far outdone by accomplished fact. Suggestion has been ma -de of a tunnel beneath the Straits of Gib- raltar; but it ought to be obvious that such a scheme, while extremely expez.sive, would have no compensat- ing value. Its only important useful- ness would be to connect Prance with her African possessions, and, to ac- complish this, she would be obliged. te..pass through Spanish territory. On the other hand, the Bosporus route would go by way of Mesopo- tamia and Palestine, running at all points through thickly populated re- gions, making Jerusalem an import- ant junction and traffic centre, and thence striking Cairo with a jump over the Suez Canal. Eighteen Mile Across Bosporus. The Bosporus might be called a natural canal, luckily fashioned by geologic forces in such a way as -to eonlect the Sea of Marrnora with the Black Sea. It probably represents an ancient "fault line" in the earth's crust, where Asia etas broken off from Europe incidentally to some big terrestrir.l disturbance. It is a narrow strait eighteen utiles Ilong, at one place only 800 yards wide, but nearly 400 feet deep in mid -channel. Titus the projected tunnel will have to be dug far down to pass under its bettorh. In view of the further poss!ility that the rock - structure beneath the strait may prove broken and unstable (owing to the "faulting" above mentzethed), it is possible that it will be found ex- pedient to bridge the • Bosporus— difficult though the problem would be �r it. - .uta bore under --rather the The scenery along the strait is un- surpassed in beauty anywhere in the world, the wooded heights, on either hared sprinkled with picturesque viI- lages, while on the European side are many palatial residences of citizens of Constantinople.
