The american artisan publishes an ac-
count of the Festiniog railway, built in the
mountains Of Wales, which is remarkable
for the extreme narrowness Of its gauge
only twenty-four inches. 1t was construct
Cd to enable the coal to be carried economi-
rally from the mines to the place OF general
deposit, and sR engine called '.The I!tt,e
Woudap." Weighing bit EiSa tons and IF
peculiar construction, Was built for iise
upon IL. The read Is very Gireuitous and
fun Of wild curves, and so doubtful was the
government inspector of the safety Of high
rate of speed on such u railway that he In
sisted on limiting the company to maxi
mum speed Of twelve miles an hour. It
was soon found, however, that there was
very little oscillation, even less than on
broad-gauge roads, and that it became less
as the speed increased. All restriction was
therefore removed, and the Little Wonder
occasionally makes thirty-five miles an hour.
Nor is the business Of the line confined to
freighting. Passenger cars are also run,
and on one occasion the Little Wonder has
drawn train weighing 101 tons and a
quarter of mile in length-so long, in fact,
that on some parts Of the road it had to run
on no less than five reverse curves, and it
80 turned and doubled upon itself, as it
wound among the Welsh hills, that the pas
sengers in the front carriages could, while
sitting in their seats, make signals to per-
sons on other parts Of the train. The aver
age speed was 121 miles, and the maximum
16H. The Festiniog road answers all the
requirements of the country through which
it passes, and pays the best dividends on It's
capital stock Of any railway in the world.
