RAILROAD FACTS.
" Rattling through the mountains,
Swimming o'er the wales;
Bless us, this is pleasant.
Riding on the fails.n

Rattllng JnrOuSn the mountains,
Swimming o'er the wales;
Bless us, this is pleasant
Riding on the rails"
Thus sang the poet SAKE, after his
first railroad trip, and thousands have
echoed the sentiment since. 1t has
been truly said that the railroad is
great leveler; a democratic institution.
No doubt it assists in the promulga-
ton of liberal ideas, and is a wonder
full civilizer. All persons that are 80
years of age can remember the first
railroad, the building of which was
nearly simultaneous in England and
the United States 1851 are the
dates of the inception of the practical
work i'm both countries, although there
had been some experiments in tram
ways as early and 1876, and tits avered
that there is good evidence os the use
of the principle in the movement of
the immense blocks of stone from the
quarry to the Pyramids of Egypt; also
in the construction of the Cyclopean
walls of Bolivia and Peru.
The first thirteen years after 1927
there were 2,lG1 miles of railways put
in operation in America. In 1850 the
length of lines had reached 1927 miles
III the United States, and the next
decade stretched to 81, 1876 miles. Since
that period the great transeontinental
lines have been built, and rail-
ways are penetrating the Caucasus
of Central Asia and the C0rdilleras of
South America. Wherever it goes, it
is powerful agent to harmonic an
tagonistic elements. t.tr
The cost of English railways is
something enormous; $43, 900 per mile
for the land alone is the average, and
$4,000 per mile for the completed
roads; while the American roads are
built at an average cost of less than
AZ, 900 per mile. The cost of mainte-
nance in America has been rs cents
per running mile for all trains. The
cost of carrying passengers on the
English railways has been reduced as
low as five cents to the 100 miles; and
| it was demonstrated at the Social Sci
ence Congress that met in England In
| 1874, that passengers could be trans
ported from one end of the United
Kingdom to the other for rs cents-3OC
miles or more. l-3
