The swiftest bird on tho wing is un-
doubtedly, the frigate bird, or eagle of the
sea, which often measures sixteen feet from
tip to tip of the wings. 1t hovers at an
elevation of 10000 feet when a storm
sweeps over the ocean. If it wishes to
travel, says an eminent French naturalist,
it can almost annihilate space, it can
breakfast in America and dine 10 Africa.
This bird reposes on its great mot1onless
wings literally sleeping on tho bosom Of
the air.

How RalIroads Are BuiIf.
Financial Chronicle.


The old, old method OF buildips a rail-
road was for the subscribers to take either bonds
or stocks and pay for them full price-say 80 TO
lO0-And then the outstanding liabilities repre-
scented pretty nearly the capital invested, and the
bonds and stocks became valuable according 10 the
capacity OF the road to earn interest or dividends.
But that method is old now that 1t sav0rs OF the
middle ages and little has been done on this basis
since the war. Then came the plan by which the
projectors issued and sold enough bonds per mile
10 build the road, and issued n like amount of
stock, distributing the latter among themselves.
This WAS the general plan in vogue prior to the
panic OF 1873, bat SO heavily we're the roads loaded
prices which made them pay about per cent. per
anrun. that few companies were able to survive
when the hard times came. Our readers may re-
call those Rhastly lists OF railroads IN de-
fault'' which filed columns in the newspa-
peTs Before 1873 the construction company"
had been little used, and the famous Credit Mo
bilier of the Union Pacific, which the first of
those companies TO become prominent in the
United States. subsequently fell inoQ bad odor.
But the cohstruc ion Company has or late years
pOration, first for the building of the road, and.
secondly for the distribution of tine stock and
bonds Tor the benefit OF its subscribers. and
whether not il did the first part veil 1t has sue
ceeded admirably in the second. The distribution
of stock and income bonds sometimes in. very
large amouuts the subscribers for first mortgage
bonds in blocks has been the p0pnlar method
OF late years, and between this and the lS7O-72
plan of keeping all the stock for the projectors,
cannot see why the latter Is not the best One OF
the natural conseq of the issue of these large
blocks of bonds and stocks to subscribers is some
times seen IN the decline of the bonds TO very low
prices before the railroads are completed. The
subscribers, wishing to realize on something, and
not finding ready market for he stock, are apt
to sell their bonds at any price they may bring.
