Niuety-four and five-tenths miles of the
above named railroad has been essentially
completed during the year. This line ex-
tends from junction or connection with the
Katahdin Iron Works branch of the Ban
g0r & ArooStoOk Railroad at or near the
village of Brownville; thence in a north
easterly direction and westerly of and near
the bank of the Schoodic lake, and easterly
of and near the Twin lakes; thence in sub
stantially the same direction across the West
and East branches of the Penobscot river:
thence northerly to Staceyyille plantation; ;
thence northeasterly through the towns of
Sherman and Island Falls and through
portions of Dyer Brook and Oaktield plan
tations and the town Of New Limerick to
Houlton.
No more feasible route for the location
of railroad could be found in New Eng
land than the one selected for the ADORE de-
scrbed line. There are several tangents or
straight lines from three to five miles, and
one exceeding thirteen miles ia length.
The road-bed is of good width and the
lgradipg is uniform throughout. and at no
point exceeding one and one-half per cent

porary ructures, are of steel and iron, and
are of the most modern and approved de-
sign, and are throughout supported on first
class stone masonry. All culverts aud

width. are spanned by substantial iron
stringers on first-class calvert masonry.
The track is laid with seventy -pounI steel
rails on good, sound ties. The station

erected, are almost uniform in design and
are well adapted to the wants Of the public
and the business of the road, st the points
where they are erected. The rolling stock,
SO far purchased and for use on this line of
railroad, is first-class in every respect. The
passenger cars are of the most modern
design and flush, and the freight and fiat
cars are all equipped with automatic
couplers and for the use of automatic train
brakes. Apparently the road in all respects

during that time increased but slightly, we
are led TO believe that, by reason
of the consolidation, aforesaid, ana
the construction of additional lines of rail
road throughout the State, the many water
powers have been developed and utilized
by manufacturers the agriculture and
timber lands opened to commerce; and easy
access afforded to the many and unsur-
passed mountain and seashore resorts; and
the valuation of the State, as will he seen
by the following statistics, nearly doubled.
In 1860 the State valuation was SLOT
III and in 1892 it WAS $3l4, $50, ISL.
In 1860 the railroads of Maine carried
74S sos passengers and 453 600 tons OF
freight. In the year ending June 80, 1898,
the railroads carried 6 1885, $50 passengers
and 4,l9G ,068 tons Of freight. tt e train
mileage in 1860 was as follows: Passenger
trains, 5G4 ,442 miles and for all other trsias
/ 524, 747 miles. In 1892 the train mileage
was, passenger trainsi 2,772,842 miles and
for all other trains f42S, 1862 miles. The
receipts of railroad companies f'om al
sources in 1860 were $685. 379 10. In 1892
they were Sc ,931 ,209.24. During all these
years, there has been a continual and
marked decrease ia rates of fare and in
freight charges on all lines Of railroad.
Rates per carload have been decreased
materially, Notwithstanding the fact tha'

doubled in capacity and weight.

Geurqe's Valley Railroad.

The Georges Valley Railroad, mention
of which was made in our last report, is
now completed and is being op rated. This
line of railroad extends from junction or
connection with the Knox and Lincoln
branch Of the Maine Central Railroad, in
the town of Warren, to Union. a distance
of about eight miles, together with q branch
line in Warren of about one-half mile in
length leading from the main line 70 certain
lime qugrries and kilns operated by the
Rockland and Warren Lime Company, and
by NJ ,Lo and Slower.
The country through which this line Of
railroad passes is comparatively level, the
road being located along and near the bank
of the Georges river, aud the shores of a
chain of ponds.
The road is fairly we'll located, though
located apparently with a view to save ex-
pense of construction rather than to secure
q perfect line. However, the line is suita
bic for any business or transportation that
may be required of it. The road bed is Of
good width and fairly well ditched, drained
and ballasted. The rails are of new steel,
Sc pounds to the yard and are laid on good,
sound ties The track throughout is we'll
aligned and surfaced and trains run smooth
ly over it. The rolling stock is nearly all
second hand; but is well adapted and
suited to the business of the road.

Kingisid and Dead River Railroad.
The Kingfeld and Dead River Railroad
Company was organized AMI incorporated
under the provisions of law June 10, 1898,
and the location of its line of railroad was
approved by the board June so, 1898. This
corporation was formed for the purpose of
constructing a narrow gauge railroad from
the present terminus of the Franklin aud
Megantic Railroad in the town of Kingteid,
up the valley of the Carrabasset stream to
a short distance beyond Drew's Mills In
jerusalem plantation, distance of about
ten miles. Since the approval of the loca-
ton, the road has been put under contract
and quite a portion of the same has been
graded during the past season. The pro-
moters of the enterprise hope to have tins
line of railroad completed in the early part
of the coming summer.
Street Railways.
Notwithstanding the large number of
charters for street railways, which were
granted during the past and previous SEES
sions of the Legislature, and the enactment
of general law under which such corpor-
atoms can be organized, only one street
railway has been constructed during the
past year, viz.
The Bath Street Railway.
The Bath Street Railway Company, dur
ing the early part of the year, has con-
structed and completed d line of street rail
way from Winnegance Stream bridge, in
that city; thence northerly along the loca-
ton of the highway and partially outside
thereof to and into the city proper; thence
nor,herly through some of the principal
streets and tboroughfares of that city to the
northern high school building, distance Of
four and one-half miles. This line of rail-
way has been well located and substantially
constructed. The road has been in success
fIl operation since August 18th, last.

just been placed in one Of the Yale
ObSeryatCrieS and, though intended
for general astronomical photography,
began its picture taking with the APP
pearanCe Of the August meteoric dis
plays. In certain respects, says the
Cleveland Leader, it stands unique
among Photographic telescopes. 1t
has six cameras instead Of one, and
together they cover a field in the sky
equal to that which would be occu-
pied by 2,400 full moons BY its
use on the meteors the astrono-
mers of Yale expect to develop
some new facts relating to their
height They will place single tele-
scopes at distances of two miles from
the seXtuple instrument, and by
means of electrical connections will
photograph simultaneously. The
plates will then be compared and cal.
culati0ns will be made with a view
to establishing the height Of the me-
teOrs. In the new astronomy, in
which is included astronomical pho
Biography, the sensitive plate often
has to be exposed from one to three
hours to enable it to gather the light
from the finest stars and imprint it
on the plate, This is necessarily a
tedious piece Of work for the astron-
omer, as he must watch the plate
very carefully during the entire cX-
posure. The noted astronomer, Dr.
w. L. Elkin, of Yale College Obsery-
atory, wishing to accomplish more in
the same space Of time, devised the
plan by which six Photographic tole-
scopes could be placed in one mount
ing Each of these carries a plate
which will cover space Of ten de-
grees square in the heavens These
cameras are so arranged as to have
the field of one just reach the edge
of the field of its neighbor, so that at
one setting the six Photographic telc-
scopes will cover a field Of 600 square
degrees in the sky, and as they are
all carried on one equatorial mount
ing, the care exercised in operating
them is no more than if single tel
scope was being used. The picture
Illustrating this unique instrument
will be easily understood by any one
familiar with astronomical instru.
