Besides the great tunnel at tho top of tho lino, thero are sovonty-nlno othors of shortor length. Seven of theso nro spiral tuunols which pierce tho sides of the valley, making tho ascent more gradual. In 18G0 and 1871 Gormmiy, Italy mid Switzerland signed an agree ment for tho construction of n rail way with a tunnel through tho St. Gotthnrd, This great tunnel Itself cost over $11,000,000 to build. It Is nine mid a quartor miles long. This makes It about threo miles shorter than tho Slmplon tunnel, tho longest In tho world. At its center tho St, Gotthnrd tunnel is 3,780 feet abovo sea level, from which is descends on both sides. It Is twenty-eight feet broad and twenty-one feet high. It takes an express train about twonty minutes to pass through tho tunnel. Tho air lu the tunnel is fresh mid free from smoke.

All approaches to the St. Gotthard are gunrded by modern fortifica tions, Tho pass or St. Gotthnrd Is tho principal routo from Southern Eu rope to Northern Italy. At Its highest point It Is 0,1)35 feet above tho sea. It takes its name for sonio unknown reason from St. Gott nard, bishop of Illldcshelm, who died In 1038. At 'tho beginning of tho nineteenth contury, tho St. Gotthnrd was prob ably the most' frequented Alplno pass, but it was gradually deserted for others. Tho road over tho pass, constructed between 1820 and 1832 by tho enntons of Uri mid Tlcino, Is ono of the best and most con venient of tho Alplno cnrrlagownys, and Is frco from snow during four or flvo months of tho yenr, but slnco the completion of tho railway It is not much used. Nevertheless, it is still Interesting to walk or drive over tho pass, as tho grandeur of tho scenery is roninrknblo. Tho St, Gotthard hosplco on the summit of tho pass Is first men tioned In 1331. In 1775 somo of Its buildings woro destroyed by an nvnlanche, and lu 1799-80 every thing was destroyed by tho French soldlors.
