Earnings of Railroads.

The advance sheets Of the intro
duction to poors Manual for 1891 show
that the number of miles of railroad
completed in the United States at the
end of the last calendar year was 1866.
ST., and that the number of miles con-
structed during the year was ., I39.
Since then enough track has been laid
to make the total mileage to this date
10, 600 miles. The increase in share
capital during the year was -;l45, 40,
go, which was equal to a little more
than S25,3O for each mile Of road
constructed during the year. The in
crease in the funded debt of the roads
during the year was S2I1, 53G, 214,
which was equal to not much less than
so, 900 per mile Of road constructed.
1t will, however, be understood. OF
course. that the increase III funded
debt did not necessarily. or probably,
all fall on the new roads constructed.
/ The total amount of share capital at the
end of the year was 81 $40, 234, 57S and
the total amount of funded debt was
3, 105, 9O2, 025. This gives a total Of
share capital and funded debt of
50, TAG, III SOB. This total is equal to
more than S5S, 400 for each mile Of
read in existence at the end of the
wear. Mr. Poor states that, counting
in all forms of Indebtedness, the cost OF
the roads as measured BY the total was
800, 63s. or close to $50, 600 PER mile on
the average, the total Indebtedness
having been SO, l22 6:35, 800. One
would expect the average Indebtedness
per mile to decrease, but according to
Mr.. Poor it increased last year 81 ,3j4.
Regarding net earnings, Mr.. Poor re-
ports that in 1890 the average was "a
per cent, against 3.3 per cent. in 1899,
30 in 1855, 80 in 1887, 81 in 1886,
and "a in 1888. These are the av-
erages. of course, on the nominal
capital. II we suppose the actual
capital invested to be one-half the
nominal amount, which Is in accord
ance with Mr.. Poor's estimate in for
mer wears, we find that capital invest
ed in railroads pays on the average
fairly satisfactory profits. i he earn
ings paw interest on the funded debts,
which in the aggregate exceed the
actual capital invested, according to
Mr.. Poor's estimate, and give an aver
age of about 81 per cent. for dividends
besides While it is true that many
roads do not earn dividends, or even
fixed charges, yet on the whole the
railroads of the country are paying
concerns. Those which are not have
been prematurely built, or built where
railroads are not needed, or wrecked
by Intentionally or ignorantly bad
management. 1t will be observed that
there was slight improvement last
year over the year before in net earn
ings. which, however, were still below
those of 1886 and 1887.

as an intruder aud an enemy.

in the wall, when the guard raised his
revolver.
Ranger Ralph had taken in the scene

friend Darrell Grey.
With a rapid spring he was fairly upon

Darrell.
The bullet sped wide of its mark.

With one blow the old scout felled the
guard insensiho to the floor of the cave.
Then, springing over his p-cStrate form,

from his grasp.
Darrell Grey recognized him with a
joyful cry.

lnez glanced With quick interest at the
man she knew TO be her fathers old
time friend and her own.
The scout glanced back al the corridor
with an alarmed face, as he Heard q new
commotion. Two men had come sud-

Whips may be very EXPENSIVE. One

The Great and thu Little.

About o'clock at night, and almost
directly overhead, one sees the
bright star of the first magnitude
known as Arcturus. Recent and most
careful Investigations relating to this
star show some astonishing results
That great sun IS now known to be
distant from us 1Sl light years; that
is. it takes light from it, travelling
1856, 900 miles in a second of time, Isl
wears to reach us, or l, 061 900. 900. 900,
$50 miles away. This star is 800, 900
times larger than our sun. If Arc
turus were a hollow sphere, 1t would
hold $50. 900. 900, 600 balls as large as
the earth we inhabit The star is now
coming nearly directly toward Us at
the rate of 10 miles a second,
but goes athwart our position about
$50 miles second, so that in
few millions of years it will
wholly disappear from our range Of
vision. Such distances and such mag
nltudes are wholly beyond the concep
ton OF finite minds, and are absolutely
appalling. What may this great solar
center have revolving around it in the
form of planets? And here we are,
punv mortals, upon this bit of stellar
dust called the earth, pluming our
selves with our penny-whistle doings.
The greatest of mortals and of mortal
deeds are as nothing in the infinite
scheme of existences. Probably with
in i've millions of years some great
star like Arcturus may strike and in
stantlv vaporize this solar system.
Think of it, little man, for where will
YOU and your deeds be then?
