1t is now some forty years (says
Chambers JOurnaD since railway tick
cts were printed and issued. The
originator of the idea was q man who
was employed at q wayside station in
the neighborhoOd Of Carlisle, and
those he then used were iabout the
same size as the tickets now issued.
But his arrangements for printing
them were of the most primitive de-
scription. In fact, few types fasten-
ed together in q case about the size of q
nail brush formed his sole apparatus,
The name of the station to which the
passenger was going v as written upon
the ticket at the time OF the issue.
But this system, primitive as it was,
grew and hourlshed. and became the
parent of the present one. The use of
tickets on this principle gradually in
creased, until at last its inventor found
that 1t would be desirable to devote
himself entirely to the development of
the new industry.
From that day to this the printing
of railway tickets has remained in the
hands of the same family, who have
pursued 1t with an amount of perse-
verance and ingenuity perfectly mar
velous. The railways of nearly the
whole world Except North America)
are supplied with tickets from the one
mandatory. There may be seen in
course of manufacture tickets for Eng
lish railways, Swedish, South Amer
lean, Egyptian, &C. We saw there on
one occasion Cairo tickets, q special
class, for pilgrims going to Mecca
and others for q fourth class, specially
printed for South American line, for
"slaves without shoes and stockings.n
The first great improvement made
in the tickets was Numbering them.
This was an enormous stride In ed
vance of the old tickets. Every rail-
way passenger has noticed that each
ticket Is numbered, and many people
imagine that that number is printed
by the little press In front OF the ticket
clerk, when he thrusts the ticket In
before IL is issued. But the duty of
that press Ia In reality to print the
date, the numbering being done before
the ticket arrived at the statiOn.
A large proportion of the accuracy
Of the accounts Of railways depends
upon these numbers. For example,
take the case of q booking clerk at
Reading. He has before him q box
with q large number Of pigeon h0les,
each holding the tickets for one station.
Let us select the pigeon hole for Sails
bury. Before he begins his days work
he knows that the first ticket from
Reading to Salisbury will be say ,028.
When the days work is over he hnds
the last ticket is say 5,058. He has,
therefore, issued thirty tickets OF this
particular class to Salisbury, and IL
responsible for thirty fares. He has .
return TO fill up each day of the num-
bers on the tickets issued, and by see
ing that the last number on each dsy
and the first are consecutive, the offf-
cials at headquarters are able to have q
complete check upon the station clerks
and to preserve an almost invariable
accuracy In their accounts.

In the course of recent lecture In
Paris regarding the uses of birds, an
estimate was formed of the damage to
crops by the robbery of a nest contain
ing five eggs. During the first month
each young bird eats on an average
about fifty-eight flies or other insects
in day. The aggregate, multiplied
by thirty, for the month makes !, 500
insects to every nest. Every insect
eats daily from blossoms and leaves an
amount equalling its weight until it
reaches maturity. 1t was calculated
that In thirty days each insect would
destroy thirty fruits, and that 800 in-
sects wonld kill 225, 900 fruits. 1t will
be well, therefore, for farmers sons to
reflect upon the damage done to their
parents by the wanton robbery Of o
single nest.
