Rise of Towns.

So much is said OF the sudden rise of
towns and cities in The United States
that the most OF us forget that similar
cases exist In tine Old World, some OF
them quite as remarkable as those III
the New. Parkerton, in England, is

1t appears that the growing importance
of the Antwerp trade, of which me
very striking figures have recently been
published. has made this part of Har-
wlch wholly inadequate to the needs Of
the railway iiue that terminates there.
Accordingly the company have erected
ou an estuary of the Stonr, three-quar
ters of nile from Harwich. a SPLENDID
Dew quay wneTe passengers ana freight
for the Cotinent will III future be landed
This quay is 1870 feet long, and has
warehouses 1400 feet long by 60 broad.
Near the quay will be erected a station
and hotel, bonded stores, and offices for
merchants and workingmen. Thus
there will soon be built up near Har-
wich an entirely new town. Extension
railway lines have been recently con-
structed which bring the port into direct
commmlica ion with Birmingham,
Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds and other
great manufacturing centres of England.

plated in this manner without previous

calculation that every pound Of available

of working the Two materials Is as nearly
