Railway Across the Andes

THE railway across the Andes, between Chile and the Argentine Republic, which was projected twenty years ago, is at last to be completed, the Chilean Congress having recently passed a bill for the purpose. The loftiest part of the pass, which lies not far south of the great Andean giant, Aconcagua, and which has an elevation of thirteen thousand feet, is to be penetrated by a tunnel, which will serve both to avoid snowdrifts and to decrease the maximum elevation of the road.—Selected.
