/ ates the silver politics Of the country, an
/ absolute gold basis and gold standard, and

/ fancy Of Calnornians who can not pay their
| local taxes in silver, the Chicago conven-
ticn fractures truth and dccency by ac-

silver be dcmonetized. If the campaign to

THE total railway mileage Of the world is
319,l59
G. p. HUNTINGTON owns more miles of
railroad than any other man in America
TEE heaviest locomotive in the world be
longs to the Canadian Pacific railroad
Weight, 10000 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 n locomotive ever attain
ing greater speed than eighty miles an
hour, aud quotes Charles r. Martin as say
ing that higher speeds are mythical.
1T is said that there are private railroad
cars in the United States representing
nearly S5,000,0O0. They are worth from 81, 600
TO $4,000 each, the best being that owned by
George NJ. Pullman.
THE problem Of modern railroading is to
stop and start heavy trains ia a 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 viii convey GO,OO0 pounds, or
even $1,000 pounds, Of gram, as their load.
With plenty Of land and farm machinery,
and ample, quick and cheap transportation,
al 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 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 q three-inch crank on the
bell, Is so constructed that it viii vary it's
length according to the swing Of the bell,
thus removing any liability of knocking the
| cylinder out by the piston coming in contact
with il.
THERE has been q sudden reaction in rail
road building, especially in the West In
1857 there were 12,13f miles Of track built in
the United States. The roads under con-
tract or planned for the present year viii
not, according 70 present advices, exceed
| $500 miles. The accounts of the Missouri
Pacific aud other Western companies show
that railroad extension was overdone in 1856
and 1851, and that further expenditures in
that direction at the present time might in
vite financial collapse.
