Er.ECrIsrC RAILWAYS.

LESS than ten years ago there were
onfy thirteen electric railways in this
country, with something less than 100
cars, but now there are nearly 500 such
roads, with total of 5000 miles of
track, twenty odd thousand cars aud n
capital of nearly 5000. 600, 900 is em.
pioyed IN their operation. This is an
astounding increase and gives some idea
what we may expect to see IN this line
OF enterprise during. or mt the end, OF
another decade. Electricity as a mo-
tive power will, in many Instances,
supercede that OF steam on passenger
railroads, just us it has done in other
matters. and 1t need occasion no sur.
prise If. before a great while, we may
be able to make n trip TO distant cities
Ia cars propelled by electricity.
