The Railway Review has compiled
the following statistics, to give some
idea of the immense supply of cross
ties required for the railways in the
United States: "There are about
$4,000 miles of railway in operation
in this country at the present time,
which have an average of 2, ,816 cross
ties per mile of track, making total
OF 335. 104. 900 cross-ties now in use.
Allowing l60 as the average yield per
acre Of woodland, the number now in
use upon the railways in the United
States represents the stumpage of
1904, 1000 acres of land, and during
the next six years this amount of
timber land will be levied upon to
renew the existing 335, 1O4, 900 cross
ties at a cost of $187, 552, 900. An
area OF territory equal in size to two
thirds the area Of the State of Con-
necticut is required to supply the
railways of this country with cross
ties for the ensuing six years.

The loss of Life this year by fire

asters this year has been most ap-
pahing. There has been no cessation
of the terrible effects They have
followed each other with the greatest
regularity, and each has been most
wonderfully effective in destroying
the lives of husaan beings Tt is inn
possible to get at saeh statistics, but
If the data of disasters could be
gathered it cosald doubtless be shown
that the loss of life thss year by these
means is greater than ever before.
Following alarmingly close upon the
railroad accidents in New York State
and the terrible calamity on the Is
land of Ischia come others though not
of the same magnitude. If these
