RAILWAY RuMBL E.

The total railway mileage Of the world is
BIC, 152
G. r. HUNTINGTON owns more miles OF
railroad than any other man in America.
The heaviest locomotive in the world be-
longs to the Canadian Pacific railroad.
Weight, leo, 600 pounds.
A CHICAGO newspaper makes the state
ment that railroad train arrives or departs
from that city every minute Of the day.
THE Engineer says there is no properly re-
corded instance Of q locomotive ever attain
ing greater speed than eighty miles an
hour, and quotes Charles r. Martin as say
ing that higher speeds are mythical.
IT is said that there are private railroad
cars in the United States representing
nearly 100000. They are worth from 81 600
to $4,000 each, the best being that owned by
George N. Pullman.
THE problem Of modern railroading is to
stop and start heavy trains in short time.
The stopping part Of the problem has been
pretty thoroughly worked out, but how to
start quick is still the question.
THERE is no longer any wonder expressed
at cars that will convey 6O,0OO pounds, or
oven $4,000 pounds, Of gram, as their load.
With plenty of land and farm machinery,
and ample, quick and cheap transportation,
all the Industrious and sober should have
abundance of the necessaries Of life, at
least in this country.
RINGING the bells Of locomotives by steam
is now effected by an ingenious apparatus,
consisting of a small steam cylinder placed
at one side Of the bell frame and resting on
the boiler; the connecting rod which con.
meets the piston to a three-inch crank on the
bell, IS so constructed that it will vary its
length according to the swing Of the bell
thus removing any liability Of knocking the
cylinder out by the piston coming in contact
with it.
THERE has been sudden reaction in rail
road building, especially in the West II
1887 there were IL, 724 miles Of track built il
the United States The roads under con
tract or planned for the present year vii
not, according to present advices, exceed
$500 miles. The accounts Of the Missouri
Pacific and other Western companies show
that railroad extension was overdone in 1884,
and 1887, and that further expenditures il
that direction at the present time might in
vite financial collapse.

After Nineteen Years Absence the Devas-
tators Resume Work.
WHEATON, Ill, June 13-The seventeen
year locusts appeared here about two
weeks ago and have so rapidly in
creased in number that now they liter.
ally cover all kinds of bushes, hedges and
trees. Their favorite food appears to be
the leaves of currant- bushes and maple
trees They also eat otato-vines and arbor-
vitae. When they first come up out of
the ground they appear as white grub,
about an inch long, but they soon
turn to brown hue, and shedding
their skin, develop in two days bodies
two inches in length with wings which
when extended are three or four inches
from tip to tip. Great apprehension is
felt over their general devastation, and
it is feared the shade and fruit
trees will be ruined Their career
is short, as they only remain forty days.
They have chisel in their tail with which
they plow a trench in trees and therein lay
their eggs. The eggs Matched drop to the
ground, the insect burrows in the earth for
seventeen years, and then the locust reap
pears.
DUBUQUE, Ia, June 13.-Locusts have ap-
peared herein vast numb ers in the last two
days. They are popularity supposed to be
the seventeen year locusts, but the calcu-
lation is two years Off this time. Their last
appearance was in 1869, just nineteen years
ago.
ALGIEEs, June 13.-The locusts are ad-
vancing in a compact mass over twelve
miles long by six in breadth. A panic pre-
walls in the province of Constantine. The
valley of Guelma has been devastated by

RECENTLY published statistics of the Chi
cago Union Stock Y ards Company and of the
Chicago Board of Trade show that the Chi
cago, Burlington 81 Quincy railroad still
leads all other lines in the number of cars of
live sock and grain brought to that market.
This fact indicates the rapidity with which
the road must have recovered from it's re-
cent labor troubl s. and furnishes addition
al evidence of the efficient manner in which
the management handled the recent strikes
Of employees on its lines. Evidently, from
business standpoint, the road is in able
hands.
