This is year of big railroad schemes,
and il one-half the projected lines are
built the iron and steel works will be
kept busy for years to come. There have
been big railroad schemes before, but as
big as they were they pale into insignih-
tauee when compared with some Of those
now being worked. When the first
Pacific road was talked of people re-
garded the origlnators of it as dreamers
and doubted if they would live to see the
day when the Rocky mountains would be
crossed by steam. Now, however, the
limits of the United States or even
North America are too con-
ncted to suit the ideas of
The modern railroad protector and
The talk now Is of railroads from New
York to Australia in connection with a
line of steamers; railroads from North
10 South America and even railroads
from the United States to Asia, thence
down through Central Europe and into
Africa. There is nothing too big for this
DAY and time, but 1t does look as if there
are more schemes on foot than will ever
materalize. Capital has been rather
