THE l., B. & W. SYSTEM.


President Corbin Thinks Well of the
Property.
Austin Corbin, president of the Indiana,
Bloomington Western, who with some OF the
directors has spent most of the past week IN
speeding the property, stated to the railroad re-
porter of the Journal on his return to the city,
after riding over the several divisions. that the
property had more real value than he ever be-
fore had given it credit for. More especially
was he impressed, he said, with the develop
ment of business on the Peoria and middle d.
visions, where the towns gave evidence OF
marked prosperity and growth, and he had
also come TO the belief that the leasing
of the l., D. & g., now the ST. Louis
division, wise move on the
part of the railway people he represented.
This division would yield, he said, quite
respectable revenue this year, above the operat-
ing expenses and rental As regards pushing
the road on TO st. Louis he said that was mat
ter OF the future The wisdom of such move
was still questionable. Through the Wabash
they were getting very fair connection for ST.
Louis. If the mania fOrr railroad building should
again come over the country, and people showed
a disposition TO invest in new railroad enter
prfses, doubtless the l., B. & W. people would eX

1cally, was the poorest in the system.
The track was not in as good shape as on other
divisions, but they proposed TO spend a consid-
Ierable sum of money In the next twelve months
in betterments to their road-bed. In Eastern
railroad circles he stated the l., B e W, sys-

IMPORTANT RESEARCH.

If the latest advices from the labora-
tory Of the most celebrated micro-phys-
iologist in France, NJ. Pasteur, are not
exaggerated by the Gazette des
Hopitaux, says the New York Times,
the 50.000f. granted to him by the gov
eminent in order to finish his researches
as to the attenuation of the vehicle of
contagion In such diseases as spIenic
fever IN animals and the feasibility of
inoculating as a means of prevention
have not been expended In vain. The
microbe Cor bacterium) of splenic fever
and the successful cultivation of the or
ganism by M. Pasteur have alre ady
been described, and the organisms oc
curing In typhoid fever are also too fa-
miliar to require description. The prin-
ciple that the distin guished microscopic
has discovered the microbes of
contagious diseases, SO far as he ha
gone in their study, are all subject to
the same law, and may be reduced In
yirulence by subiecting them through
culture to the action of free oxygen-is,
however, one of such Importance to sci

The Natural History of the Tack.

A writer in the Detroit Mich Free
Press contributes the following to the
sum Of the worlds knowledge: GA tack
is simple, unpretending sort of a
young nail, noted for it's keen repartee
when pressed for reply, and possess
ing the peculiar powers when standing
on its head, of causing the cold shiver
to run down the back of man in mere
anticipation of what might be.
In argument the tack is sharp and point
ed. The display of either or both de-
ponds largely on the amount of pressure
employed by it's opponent. In direct
contrast to good joke, the amusement
generally begins before you see the
point, and this fact is easily demon
strated by walking the floor in your
stocking feet, well-kept room on such
an occasion averaging two tacks to the
square foot. The future of the tack
gives great promises of more extended
usefulness and great possibilities, as
some of our most eminent college pro-
fessors having carefully studied the eff
feet of sharp tack of reasonable length
placed properly in chair or under
cot, are about to introduce tacks and do
away with spring boards in our college
gymnasiums.

DECAY OF POPULATION IN FRANCE.

The weI-lknown fact that there has
been through long series of years
steady decline IN the rate of increase
of population In France has received
fresh confirmation In the report on the
census returns of 1881 recently made by
the minister of the interior to the presi-
dent of the French Republic. Taking
the results contained in this report a
writer in recent number of the London
Times shows that, while the average in
crease for every en- thousand inhabl-
tants is one hundred and one In Great
Britain, one hundred and fifteen in Ger
many and still greater In Russia and the
United States, it is only twenty-six In
France. This small excess of births
over deaths In France is not due either
to high death rate or to a small pro-
portion of marriages to population.
Neither the death rate nor the marriage
rate is exceptional IN France. 1t must,
then, be attributed to the birth rate,
which is found to be lower in France
than In any other country of Europe.
Thus In Russia there is one birth for
every twenty inhabitants; Germany, one
for twenty-five; Austrla-Hungary, one
for twenty-six; England, one for twenty
seven; Italy, one for twenty-seven, and
Spain, one for twenty eight. In France
the rate is one for thirty As
there is little variance in the proportion
of marriages to population IN the coun-
tries named these figures show that the
average number of births to each mar
riage Is exceptionally low in France.
Statistics also prove that the decrease in
the birth rate. and consequently in the
rate of increase in the population, has
been steady for more than half CEN
fury, and the results Of the recent census
do not show any signs of arrest of this
backward tendency.

RAILROAD BUILDING.

The impression is very general that
railway building in 1888 is to be re-
duced to minimum, and the that miles
of new road to be constructed in this
year will bear no comparison with the
large mileage of 1882. Why this opinion
finds SO general acceptance can be
accounted for only by the repeated
representations that capital willing to
enter upon these enterprises is well-nigh
exhausted, and that the field for new
roads that will pay for construction is
now well supplied with facilities for
transportation. The Railway Age has
been at some pains to obtain information
of the number of railway companies or
gained il the past year and the extent
of new road projected. From informa-
ton obtained there seems to be no de-
cline in new projects compared with the
past two years, or the hopefulness of
railway constructors for obtaining the
means for carrying on work. In Hi
nois, according to the Age, there were
incorporated in the past year fifty new
companies, which propose to build no
less than $500 miles more road In that
state, and, from what has so far been
learned, this is only representative of
what is going forward in other states
and territories. Illustrative of the nee
essity OF additional railroads, the Age
presents table of the square miles of
territory and population per mile of road
in the several accepted divisions of the
country. In the six New England States
there are 10.1 square miles of territory
and 654 inhabitants to each mile of rail
road; in five middle states, Ga square
miles and GIG inhabitants; in five middle
western states, 7.9 square miles and sos
population; in ten southern states east
of the Mississippi River, 25.1 square
miles and 684 inhabitants; in five Mis-
souri, River belt states, 1877 square
miles and $50 inhabitants; in five Kan
sas belt states and territories, SIT
square miles and oil inhabitants: III five
Colorado belt states and territories, 80.
square miles and 81 inhabitants; and in
the six Pacific belt states and territories,
1913 square miles and 203 inhabitants.
