THE MONT CENTS TUNNEL. 125 • were introduced after about 900 yards had been ac- complished. It was not, however, until 1863 that the perforators were introduced upon the French side, the intermediate time having been occupied in erecting dwellings for the* workmen, machine-shops, and all the appliances necessary for such an immense under- taking. The map on the opposite page shows the site se- lected for the tunnel. The Arc, rising in the Alps near Mont Cenis, pours down the valley which bears ...its name, and empties into the Isere near Chamouset In ascending the narrow valley, it was found that near the hamlet of Fourneaux the river makes a bend in a southerly di- rection. Upon the other side of the Alps, in the val- ley watered by the Dora-Riparia, the Dora, very ac- commodatingly, also makes a bend toward the north near Bardoneche ; and thus, at these two points, the Dora and the Arc make the nearest approach to each other in all their course. Here, in these two secluded little nooks, they seem to have had a fancy for mak- ing each other's acquaintance, and each have made ad- vances as far as not merely propriety but nature her- self permitted.
