tore 1t was finished the skies began to
darken, and almost before the congre-

story of the marbles was doubtless
founded on tale then current, and the

The development of railroad building
has revolutionized two of the most inl-
portant factors in human progress-the
migration of races aud the assurance of
cheap and abundant food. Before the rail-
road system mankind rarely wandered lar
from the banks Of navigable water. All
the chief cities were built either on the
ocean or on the rivers; the sites were not
always ideal and the natural flow Of popu-
latiOn from cOngested localities TO open
places was restricted 10 the water lines.
This was m ade more imperative by the im-
possibility of moving food except by water
lines, which was the main cause of the
faDlines of history and is the secret of the
famines which still periodically desoate
