An official return gives some curious
particulars relative to the manufacture of
railway locomotives in Germany. In 1864
the number of locomotives on the German
railways was, 4, T68, STA of which were
| manufactured abroad, while Germany now.
not only builds her own locomotives but
sent 1000 last year to other countries, such
as Switzerland, Italy, France and Russia.
| The number of engines now used on the
4 railways of Germany is 1850, $40 of which
/ have to. be replaced every year. The larg-
| est Of the German factories is that of
/ Borzig, of Berlin, which has built 2, 900
| railway engines since il. was first establish
ed, in 1S4LnoOf the others the principal
is that Of Mattel. in Bavaria, that of the

One of the annoyances which people
are subject on railroads is the clicketty-
| clack all the time making itself heard
/ abovetlie rumble of the wheels and the
snortipg of the engine, and any or all the
| other noises combined. This is to a GER
/ tain extent a necessity, for it is occasioned
| bv the wheels passing over the open spaces
between the rails. Sometimes, indeed, the
unevenness occasioned by one rail-end
being above or below its neig hbor increases
i this racket; but theiopen space itselfis the
| main cause. This might be remedied by a
1. closer contact, but that the expansion of
the iron rails on q road, say 500 miles, in
length, in a good hot summers day, will
! amount to nearly d quarter of q mile be-
