Africa during the last fifteen years.
In 1876 the total area was a little less

only little less than 1000 900 square

increased from u. 600 10 45. 900 square

The most experienced railroad men
feel that the possibilities of steam prac-
tice are nearly reached-much greater
speed is not practicable. A maximum
of ninety miles an hour, with a running
speed of sixty to seventy, is all that
can be hoped for under the very best
conditions which can be provided. The
limitations are numerous, and they are
we'll known to all engineers. The max
imum speed of which locomotive Is
capable has not been materially in
creased in a number of years The
schedule time has been shortened prin-
cipally by cutting down grades, straight
ening curves. filling up ravines, and re-
placing wooden structures by perman-
ent ones of iron or stone; by the use Of
heavy rails, safer switches, improved
methods of signalling, the interlocking
switch and signal system, the abolition
of grade crossings in short, by improve
ments in detail and management which
permit a higher speed on a more ex-
tended section of road because of greater
safety and the greater degree of con-
fidence inspired in the engine driver

A MANS WEDDING OUTFIT.


Some of the Mistakes About It and ths
Annoyances It Causes
There arc many fallacies prevalent
with regard to mans wedding outfit
Some men, am told, take this fiction
seriously, and set to work to load them
selves M with all manner of duplicate
and ouadruplicate appurtenances where
they only need one, much after the
manner of the young woman VINO

GROOM could convince his mamma that
wedding outfit was the correct thing.
and she would foot the bills. he would
be foolish not to keep alive this fairy
tale. But as a matter of fact there -
nothing in the wedding outfit business
for men. It is supposed that the we'll
TODD man has the essential quota OF
overwear and underwear at all times,
single or otherwise, and suggesuon
that he fit himself out to get married
carries with it the inference that he Is

but that is all there is of it. more

upon shade of argument, Is that which
proclaims a man must buy new dress
