among engineers and men of science enbe there have been equally wonderful things effected in our day the english papers have published some of the details of the plans for uniting 0 Enc eno england 0 rland viand and france by a gigantic gantic tubular brid bridge bride a e across the channel between dover and capt arinez in order to afford a passage to vessels of the largest size the bridge would rest on one side on the cliffs of dover and on the other side on the clial cliffs s of cape arinez the french abutments being bein raised one hundred and fifty three feet higher than the english to compensate for the difference of elevation of the cliffs the ne bridge tride bride would be supported by one hundred and nin ninety ev towers at a distance of five hundred f feet beet apart each having a liblit light to guide vessels at ra night lit and an alarm be bell beli of warning in fogs he the greatest depth of the channel on the line proposed is one hundred and eighty six feet the bridge would have two or more railways which itis it is estimated could be traversed in twenty minutes and it would be so built as to acim admit it the light of day being lighted at night by gas in order to prevent all fear of in invasion a the projector proposes that each end of the bridge shall be commanded a battery the towers which would be one hundred feet in diameter and two hundred and sixty feet hi high hib 0 b would rest on coll bases three hundred dr ed feet square at the bottom and one hundred and fifty feet square at the top rising to a hight of forty feet above the water formed of blocks of granite united by iron bars the elevation of the tops of the towers would thus thug be three hundred feet above the surface of the water mr boyd estimates the utmost possible cost of the bridge at jC but thinks that it could be built for half that sum and that the whole cost would be the reimbursed to the company in eight years |
