German Population and Emigration

The London Times gives the following
summary of recently published statistics
of the increase both of the population
and emigration throughout Germany.
The population of Prussia increased,
between 1916 and 1864, from 10, $50, 900
to 10, 260, 900, while, up to 1875, inclu-
sive, it mounted up to p 800, 900, or 105
per cent. in sixty years time. From
1875 to 1880 the population of all the
German States has been increasing ut
about 525, 900 per annum. At the last
census, in December 1880, the number
of inhabitants was 45, $50, 900, which, il
maintained at the same rate. would be
90, 600, 600 in 1900. The increase, as
compared with that of France. is very
remarkable the French population dur
ing the last five years showing an in
crease of only 389, 900, whileth increase
of the German population during the
same period was 100000, the birth
rate in the latter country being 3. 81 per
100, whereas in France it is only PAT.
There is also this great difference be-
tween the two, thatin France the increase
has been almost entirely in the large
towns, whereas in Germanyt the increase
is general throughout the country as
well as the towns. The number OF emi-
grants that have left Germany during
the last sixty years is over $500. 600. of
whom the greater rart have taken
their de arturo within the last thirty
years. the United States having absorbed
in 1881 no less than 24S, 1913. DIR. Fried

away by each emigrant at not less than
$50 marks, or G22 los, so that the

Speed OF Railroad Trains.

The London Engineer publishes the
following interesting item regarding the
speed OF railroad trains:
"A German journal, Die Trrkeby,s.
stttHRg, has recently publisheda tabular
statement of the maximum speeds Of
trains in Great Britain. Europe and the
United States, The table is inaccurate
and incomplete to very considerable
degree, but it contains nevertheless
some suggestive information. The
american Railroad Gazette has supple.
mented it by a statement of the speeds
OF some of the fastest trains in the
United States, and this statement has
been in turn supplemented and cor
r1cted by two correspondents. The
prominent fact which comes out is that
the time taken to traverse any given
distance between two places connected
by rails shows that speeds are much
slower than most people suppose. II
we take. fox instance, the run from
London TO Edinburg, distance of 81
miles via York, this is made i'll nine
hours by the Great Northern trains, the
average speed being A. miles per
hour From Euston the distance is lol
miles, and London \ Northwestern
trains make the run in ten hours. or
40.1 miles an hour. By the Midland
Railway the distance is 404 miles, and
the time 10 hours minutes, or very
nearly the same speed. The German
journal to which we have Just alluded
makes the distance 4l6 miles and the
speed IL miles per hour. which is an
error. Some of the fastest trains in tho
world are those run between Leeds
and London. From King's-cross
the distance by the Great Northern is
1861 miles. From St Pancras bv tho
Midland it is 1876 miles. The fastest
train on the Great Northern makes the
run in hours minutes, or an average
speed Of As. 1 miles an hour. The Mid,
land trains traverse the distance in 4
hours 80 minutes, giving an average
velocity of 4S.5 miles an hour The
fastest train i'll the world is the Flying
Dutchman, broad gauge, which makes
the run to Swindon ut $50 miles an
hour. The Great Northern trains run
from London to York, 1888 miles. at As
miles an hour, and ut least one train
runs to Peterborough at 81 miles an
hour. The run from London TO Grant
ham has been made repeatedly at 81
miles an hour. On the United States
railways: the quickest run appears to he
that made between Jersey City and
Philadelphia, 80 miles, made at the rate,
of Az miles an hour. There is not in the
world train timed to run a. GO miles
an hour, although it is, of course, GER
tain that that velocity is often exceeded.
If speed of 60 miles an hour could DO
maintained continually between Lon
don and Edinburg, the journey would
occupy only 6 hours &c minutes; and,
allowing for three stops of 10 minutes
each on the route, the time would be
under n hours, instead of 10 hours 50
far as the machinery of q railway is con
cerned-by which we mean the road,
the rolling-stools, and the signals thore
is nothing to prevent an average speed
of 60 miles an hour being maintained.
That it is not attained is certain
