There are about 800, 900 miles of rail-
road in the world, of which fully one-half
are in America Australia is now build
ing at the greatest rate per cent. of any
of the grand divisions of the world,
partly because the mileage of that coun-
try is very small in proportion to its ex-
tent. Sixty per cent. of the railroads of
the world are ia the English-speaking
countries. Australia has only 365 persons
per mile of railroad, the United States
about 500, and Canada the same. In
Great Britain and Ireland there are / 1910
people per mile of road, and in crmany,
France and Belgium still more. Austria
heads the list with 2, 786 per mile. The
British railroads are very costly, the av-
eragc exceeding 5000, 900 per mile The
average in the United States is less than
one.third as much, the difference being
due not altogether to cheaper construc-
tion, but largely to the great cost of way
in the more thickly populated country
about $lS8 per head. Russia has spent
only $14 per head, and most of the Euro
pean nations less than $50.

On the Pacific coast, when they make
up their minds to see sea serpent, they
generally observe one worth talking
about. Ensign selim E. Woodwork, of
the United States Navy, tells the San
Francisco reporters that short time ago,
when the Ranger was off the coast of
Costa Rica on surveying trip, the look
out reported a reef some distance away.
They drew near to survey it, and saw
that the reef was a huge serpent. The
head was larger than mans body, with
large, piercing eyes. The body was of a
dirty yellow color. The serpent was a
slow traveller, and the ship gained on it,
but it escaped in the darkness, not be.
fore several muskct balls had been fred
into it without apparent effect.

GREAT RAILROAD SCHEME.
Alleged Inside Facts of the New England

A despatch from New York says it was
with extreme difficulty that any information
relative to the exact state Of affairs regard
ing the New England deal could be learn I'd
to-day, hui gentleman who is conversaut
with the matter said to your correspondent
that the co $50 idation scheme had not only
not failed, but would be accomplished, an
fact in very short space OF time.
He gave some details Of the scheme,
which he asserted were correct and official.
According to this statements, the plan pro-
posed is to consolidate the Boston & Albany,

Extrayagant POliteneSs.

Ireceived letter q few days ago from
q Cuban, says Havana letter. On the
upper left hand corner of the outside OF
the envelope were the initials B. l.. P.
Now, any one who has studied Spanish
knows that B. L. P. or B. l.. NJ, in letter
of extreme politeness and etiquette, are
used at the close of letter; but the use
of the initials on the envelope l hardly
think is as familiar to the general stu
dent of Spanish. This is very usual, both
here and in Spain, on letters of some
ceremony, and is de Tigaeur on the
envelopes OF acrimonious notes, invita-
tions, etc.
Ladies writing to gentlemen or to each
)ther, or gentlemen writing to each
other, use B. l.. M--"Be 0 kts maRos,"
("I kiss the hands.'D Gentlemen writ
ing to ladies b. L. P.-"Be 0 Us pies"
TT kiss the feet.') The compliment, of
course, for the hands and 1eet of the
party written to. The many expressions
of friendship, respect, etc., used at the
close of Spanish letter are not sufficient
without the usual b. l.. NJ. or B. L. p.
The following ELUSIVE form is much
used In writing 70 person even of very
slight acc uaintance: with the SINGER
est professions Of sympathy and friend
ship from her atlectionate servant who
B. l.. P" kisses her feet, etc To use
one set of initials for the other shows
great ignorance of the etiquette and con.
veaances Of society.
A Cuban lady of my acquaintance re.
ceived on her .ttte day the usual comph
ment of visiting card under cover from
a gentleman. On looking at the envel.
ope she threw up her head with a jerk,
and remarked that zone could easily see
that that man did not know anything,
or he never would have put b. l.. NJ,
instead of B. L. P, on an envelope senI
to lady"
Imust acknowledge that could not
appreciate the nice difference. But
after all, on reflection, there certainly is
somo difference between B. L. NJ and
b. L. p, and it is only a matter of
Spanish taste which is the most agree
able proceeding.
