After one has spent day viewing
the splendid railway exhibit at Chic.
ago's great Fair, or even the showing
made at our own Exposition, it is diff
ficult for him to realize that every.
thing relating to that branch of in
dustry is the result of but sixty years
labor. All the giant strides that have
been made in the railway enterprise
of America have been brought about
within the memory of many men and
women who daily walk the streets OF
st. Louis. In 1881 the railway (?)
connecting Albany with Schenectady,
N. Y, had less than dozen cars, each
drawn by two horses! Later on, in
1882, I believe, locomotive engines
were introduced, but as the railway
ran up and down hill, just rs tne
wagon roads of to-day, the locomotives
had to be assisted by stationary en-
gines, thus making double expense.
The very first steam locomotive
constructed in America was made by
the Kembles Company of West street,
New York, in 1S30-31. This pioneer
American triumph of the mechanic's &
art" was shipped by sailboat from the
manufacturer shops to Charleston,
S. c., where it was put together and
first used on short freight road be.

The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider a
dead body impure, and they will not
suffer themselves to defile any of the
elements. They therefore expose
their corpses to vultures, a method

Jose Francisco Cortes, who died last
week in Morelia, Mexico, is believed
in that town to have been 1913 years
old, and they point to an entry in the

he left a son sixty years old, the
