Few Railway Statistics Put Into inter-
-.s-Fr. x estAnE Companions. 80 -+s
Relatively to its area, Europe is much
better furnished with railway facilities
than any other of the worlds CONT
nents, and even in Europe, where the
railway system had it's origin. and
where it att,ined to it's vigorous ado
lescence at Il much earlier period than
elsewhere. unless we except the United
States, the rate of growth during the
last decade has been considerab le. If
the whole of Europe were to be sup
piled with railways to the same extent,
relatively to area and population, as
the United kingdom, the railway sys-
tenn of this old continent would still
appear to be only in its infancy. The
square miles. and as the mileage of
railways opened is now close on 20, 900
miles, there is, roughly, one mile of
railway to six miles of area.
If the same relationship of railway
mileage of area were to be established
in Europe generally, the total railway
mileage, instead of being only 1876, 5s3
miles. would be raised to about $50, 900
miles, or nearly five times as much as
it is at the present time. Europe, how
ever, although it has nearly one-third
of the total railway mileage of the
world, has only about one-fourteentl

surface of the globe as in the British
isles, the ultimate il1vay mileage,
instead of being only about :s7O. 600
miles as in 1890, would rise to S, S66. 900
miles, or nearly thirty times as much.
This. of course, is an impossible figure.
and is only interesting as showing
what still remains to be done in the
way, of extending the existing network
of the arteries of commerce and travel.
A large part of the land surface of
the globe is uninhabited. owing to its
aridity or to the riSors of the climate.
No one would dream of constructing
railways in ''Greenland's icy noun

Without operating on your clothes

sulphide of carbon, taking great care
to do it far from all flame or heated
stove, then close the bottle with a
cork stopper through which you
have previously bored a. small hole.
In this hole place a piece of blotting
paper made up in to a small roll. The
paper must reach to the bottom of the
bottle and about one inch above the
cork. Within fifteen minutes you will
see the outside of this paper COW
cred with snow. the quantity of
which gradually increases. The liquid
has risen through the pores of the pa
per as the oil of a lamp through the
wick. When it gets to the open air it
evaporates and the water contained in
the surrounding atmosphere, being
brought to a temperature below thirty
two degrees, has been frozen. If you
divide the paper outside OF the bottle
into several pieces you obtain flowers
and most charming effects. You may
make the experiment in summer and
in the full rays of the sun. The result
will be obtained then moro promptly,

Double or Binary stars.

All stars appear single to the naked
eye, but the use of the telescope has
proven that many consist of two or
more distinct orbs. When the astron-
omer Hersche1 first began to make a
special observation of. double stars,
only four were known. He increased
the number to 500, and now about 1000
are ca talogued by astronomers. Some
have argued that these stars only appear
to be double because they are on the
same line of vision. but Herschel. after
many years of investigation, was con-
vinced that in hundreds of cases they
actually revolve around each other,
thus proving beyond doubt that there
is an actual relationship between such
pairs of orbs. ~ ...--r--.. $3.50. r.. s.
