The new world is not the only place
where mushroom towns spring up. In
England several considerable cities have
been created by new railroads. OF these
Grove is perhaps the most notable, says
an cxchaHge. Fifty years ago it was an
Insignificant and unprcgressiye village
with about n couple of hundred IN
habitants. To-day it is an important
and thriving town with n population Of
some aO,0O0. What may be fairly called
its creation was entirely due TO a rail-
way company, whose works cover about
30 acres and employ from 1900 to 5000
artisans. Another remarkable Instance
is that of Barry, in Glamorganshirc. AS
late as 1856 it was the haEitation OF n
few fisher families numbering some so
;ouls. The construction of railway
and dock was then commenced for the
purpose Of the conveyance and shipment
OF coal from the Ehoudda valley. Barry
Is now n town OF 25 900 inhabitants, with
municipal gas and waterworks and all
modern improvements.
