A recent estimate or calculation fixes
the entire railway mileage of the world
at 18S, 548 miles, Of which 4,183 miles
are in this country and 3O,S15 in Great
Britain and her colonies. The progress
made in other leading nations is as fol-
lows: Germany has carried its railway
network from 12.408 miles in 1871 to
1882 miles in 1876; France, from TO-
OIL miles in 1871 to IL, 148 miles in 1876;
Austria, from 1908 miles in 1871 to TO-.

HOW To PREVENT SUNSTROKE.

The Board of Health of New York
City has issued circular ON the subject
of sunstroke, which has been printed in
English and German, and is to be circu-
lated through the city, especially among
the laboring classes. 10 an extract from
the circular we add word of I reface OF
our own, which is, that there is nothing
more important in the summer season a.
q preventive of the evil effects of heat
than to keep the stomach in healthy
state. We believe that large portion
of the cases Of sunstroke are caused by
q disordered stomach, The brain is in
the closest sympathy with it, as every
one knows from his own experience.
Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat,
and especially, if the weather is muggy.
It is more apt to occur on the second,
third or fourth day of heated term,
than on the first. Loss of sleep, worry.
excitement, close sleeping rooms, debil>
ity, abuse of stimulants, predispose to
it. It is more apt to attack those work
ing in the sun, and especially between
the hours of II o'clock in the forenoon
and o'clock in the afternoon. On hot
days wear thin clothing. Have as cool
sleeping rooms as possible. Avoid loss
of sleep and all Unnecessary fatigue. If
working indoors, and where there is arti-
cial heat-laundries, etc.-see that the.
room is we'll ventilated. If working in
the sun, wear light hat mot black, as
it absorbs heat, straw, etc., and put in
side of it ON the head q wet cloth or large
green leaf; frequently lift the hat from
the head and see that the cloth is wet.
Do not check perspiration, but drink
what water you need to keep it up, as
perspirati0n prevents the body from be.
ing overheated. Have, whenever posi-
BILE, an additional shade, as thin UNI
brella, when walking, canvas or board
cover when working in the sun. When
much fa:igued, do not 60 to work, espe-
cially after IL o'clock in the morning on
very hot days if the work is in the sun.
If q feeling of fatigue, dizziness, head
ache, or exhaustion occurs, cease work
Immediately, lie dewn in cool and sha-
dy place apply cloths to and pour cold
water over the head and neck. If any
one is overcome by the heat, send imme-
diately for the nearest physician. While
waiting for the physician give the per-
son cool drinks of water or cold black
tea or coffee, if able to swallow. If the
skin is hot and dry, sponge with or pour
cold water over the body and limbs, and
apply to the head pounded ice wrapped
in towel or other cloth. If there is no
ice at hand keep a cold cloth on the
head, and pour cold water on it as we'll
rs the body. If the person is pale. very
faint and pulse feeble, let him inhale
ammonia for few seconds, or give him
tea spoonful Of aromatic spirits Of am
menia in two teaspoonfuls Of water with
q little sugar.

be got out, six of them died.
