World's Great Railroad Tunnels.

The world’s greatest tunnels are to be found in Europe, and a brief summary of these in the Engineer shows that the greatest is the Simplon which is 12% miles in length. Two, the St. Gothard and Lotschberg, are over 9 1-3 miles in length. The Mont Cenis is a little over seven miles in length. The Arlberg, in Austria, is 6% miles long. There are four tunnels between five and six miles in length, five between four and five mtles tn length, seven between three and four miles, and 16 tunnels that are over two miles long. The longest tunnel in this country, the Hoosac, is four and one-third miles long.—Scientific American,.
