RAILWAY AND LIFT FOR MOUNT BLANC.
A "French periodical devoted to civil engineering is actually discussing a scheme to take a railway to the top of Mount Blanc. If the suggestions put forward were carried out the line would start from Miage Bavine, near St. Gervais, and would immediately run under the mountain hy a tunnel over seven hundred yards long, which would end at such a point as to admit of a vertical shaft being bored from thence to the summit of Mount Blanc. The shaft would bo about three thousand yards high and it will be fit:ed with a lift. It would take quite ten years to complete this work, and the cost would be something like £338,000.
