a Solid Silver Wagon Road.

you may talk shout nickel-plated
railroads" said Yice-Presidcnt L. T.
Stanley, of 90l Walnut street, but
what do you think Of a solid silver
wagon road? The Horseshoe mine in
Colorado has one although when it
was built they didn't know it would
pan out that way. They had to have a
road from the mine. a distance of
three miles, over which heavy loads
were to be drawn They took the
rock that had been taken from the
shafts they were sinking, and which
lay around in the way, and
.uacademized the road an the
way Il 1ugh. The wagons pass
ing over the road ground the rock
down. One day they had heavy rain
storm. and When things got dry again
after this rain the wind blew the dust
of the road. and all through the road
bed, every which way, they could see
big streaks of silver. Well. may be,
they didn't collar to the rest of that
loose rock that lay about those shafts!
They sent away a lot Of il to be assay
ed, and when the report came back
they found that their road bed was
worth 5000 a ton. 1t was a little ex-
pensiye to drive over. but they had to
have the road, and | suppose they've
got it yet. if their mines have held out"

Hyena-Spearing in India.

The hyena, Though a most useful
scavenger, is not noble looking ami
NAL, aud his nature is decidedly cur
IRISH. He is not a beast usually select
ed for the chase. but affords a certain
amount of fun when nothing better is
to be had. Many a sportsman, when
disappointed in finding boar, has had a
run after a hyena. These beasts DO
not go at any great pace or charge like
a brave old boar, yet they are not easy
to spear, by reason of the quickness
with which they turn and twist. In
our first illustration the animal has
just turned sharp at right angles and
thrown out the man who was about 20

the horse of a third, putting his foot in
a hole. comes down, and then, getting
1Sd of his rider, continues the chase on
is own account. biting and striking at
the hyeua. which makes no attempt to
resent this strange onslaught We
observe that MIR. Moray Brown. in his
excellent book. 'Shi.-ar Sketches"
mentions similar in"ident. But
doubles and turns can not always save
the hyena; at last a well-directed
spear-thrust ends his career on earth
and finishes the difficult pursuit -

RAILROAD GAUGES.
The Width of Tracks in the Different
Countries of the World.

Countries of the World.
Herr Claus gives in Glaser's Annual
the following particulars of the history
and development of railroad gauges of
tlse world: After a battle of the
gauges, 4 feet 6 inches, feet 81 inches.
feet and Z feet. it was agreed in En-
gland, about 1913, that uniform
gauge of 1 feet 81 inches should be
used on all new roads, except those al
ready served by the Z foot gauge. The
first German road, from Nuremberg to
Furth, was built with 1 foot 81
inch gauge, which is now used
by ali the principal roads Of
! Germany. France started her
roads with a width between rail
centers of 4 feet IL inches, which has
led to some slight variations of gauges
according to rail width. The later
roads have been built with a gauge of
feet 81 inches. Holland began with
foot inch gauge, but has now al
tered all its roads to 4 feet 81 inches.
The railroad congress at Vern, in May,
1886, adopted the following resolution.
which is to apply to Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary. France, Italy and Swift
erland:
THE gauge Of railroads measured
between the inner edges Of the rail
heads shall. for roads built or altered
rs to gauge after this resolution takes
effect, not be less than ( feet So inches
on straight lines nor more than / feet
feet q inches on curves"
In Russia the first road opened in
1883, from St Petersburg to Zarskoe-
Selo, about sixteen miles. had a g.
foot gauge When the second road
was made in 1912. from st. Petersburg
to Moscow, the Car fixed the Russian
gauge at ) feet. which increase over
the English gauge was thou at desira-

with collective length of 12.3G)

ing divided among six gauges from 2
feet to feet.
In America, from the comparatively

with 3-foot guage. practically the
whole Of the United States and Cana
dian railroads are OF 4 foot s. inch to
4 foot 9 inch guage. In Mexico. in
1854. BOSS miles were / foot s. inch
and 934 ) foot gauge. Ia Brazil, at
the end of 1881, there were 500 miles
of foot 3 inch guage, and 4,164 miles
of various guages between ? feet and
feet z inches, over 5. 700 miles being l
meter. or , feet s. inches, SO that this
may be considered the standard gauge
of Brazil
In Australia the different colonies
rather singularly, have different
gauges-that Of New South Wales be-
ing 4 feet 81 inches; Victoria, ) feet 8
inches; South Australia. feet 3 inches
and feet inches; and the other coll
ouies, feet S inches. The total mile
age in operation in the world at the
