It has been estimated that on the go.
600 miles of railroad in the world there
are at work 1O5.OO0 locomotives, Of an
aggregate Of 100000 horse power,
while the total number Of engines
amounted to 100000 horse power.
Taking the nominal horse power as an
effective force equal to that of three
horses, and the work OF horse as equal
70 that OF seven men, It viii be seen
that the steam engine represents the
force OF nearly 1000. OOO. 600 men. which
is more than double the amount OF
workers on the face of the globe. The
steam engine, which is fed by coal, has,
therefore,, tripled the productive power
of man.

A Battle with Mnnkers.

A correspondent of the Boston Com
merctdt Bulletin gives the following
graphic account of fight with monkeys
A vessel was anchored off Columbo, on
the southwestern side of the island on
Sunday the men asked permission to
take the boat and go on shore, and their
request was granted, the captain send
ing the second mate with them "to look
after things" They pulled around into
a little inlet below the city and landed.
For wonder they did not care about
visiting the town, but preferred a stroll
in the woods, which upon this morning
appeared to be entirely deserted.
About quarter of mile from where
they left the boat one of the party spied
very young monkey lying at the foot
of a tree. This was too much of prize
for Jack to pass by.
Though warned by the second mate
not to disturb the infant protege of
Darwin, they seized the little fellow and
essayed to bear him off in triumph.
Hereupon young Joclko emitted a
series of yells that caused the forest in
the midst of which they were wandering
to re-echo for many rods around. Ii the
sailors thought themselves to be the only
occupants of the wood they were speedily
undeceived, for scarcely moment had
elapsed since the utterance of the first
cry by their little prisoner before every
tree swarmed with indignant members
of the monkey tribe They ran along
the branches over the heads of the
wanton disturbers of their peace,
chattering and screaming and only wait
ing an opportunity to wreak summary
vengeance upon the kidnapers.
An order from the officer to /" make
for the boat" was promptly obeyed.
When the monkeys saw their enemy on
a full retreat they formed in a solid body
and followed hurriedlv in their wake
Sticks, stones, and every available missile
was hurled furiously at the heads of the
flying sailors. In vain did they droI
their prize, hoping that it might pacifN
their enraged pursuers. 1t was not so
only one dropped out of the ranks, tc
gather up in its hairy embrace the un
offending object of the fray while tn,
others rushed on more frantically thai
ever.
Reaching the boat, they had not tim
to jump in, but showed her off from tn
shore, clinging to the gunwales, ant
crawling in only when some distanc
had been placed between them and thei
implacable foe
When they had arrived at safe plac
to lay they rested on their oars and curi
ously scanned the infuriated army o
the beach. There appeared to be thou
sands OF them, running up and down
! i'll wild confusion, and hurting stone
far out into the water in the direction {
the boat.
Nor did the sailors get off "scot free,
; for there was not one among them br
what had received some injury at til
hands, or rather paws, of this army {
: monkeys.
