uever less than a billion dollars in
year and disbursiug it all, or practical
ly all, for railroads as rule do MOI
keep large bank accounts and do prac
tically q cash business, turning money
rapidly.
An estimate made by one of the scien
tifc papers a short time ago gave q:
the average annual expense of Ameri
can railroads in maintaining the con-
dition of their road beds S75, 900, OOO
besides So, ZOO, 900 for the purchase OF
| rails, ties and sleepers, and S15, 900, 0OC
Tor the construction of new bridges.
] The raj roads of the country spent
| last year for fences, sign boards, signals
and watch towers S35, 200, 600, and for
printing aud advertising IS $780, 900
Very few persons have an accurate
idea OF the extent to which ra lroad ex-
penses are to be subdivided, surprising,
| probably, that the largest items OF ex-
penditure are for cars and engines,
fuel, employees aud terminals. Such is
the fact, but there are other large
items. and one of the largest of these
Is the item OF taxes.
Railroad corporations in the United
States are heavily taxed, and they pay
collectively in year $40, 0OO, 900.
There 9 then another item which fig
ures largely in all railroad accounts,
the item of legal expenses, railroads
being drawn il to almost constant liti-
CATION and requiring at all times the
services of counsel.
1t is estimated that expenses of Am
ericsn railroads for professional legal
services amount in q year to about
30. 200 600 and this ia of course, eX-
elusive of the sums requisite to meet
Claims for personal Injuries or dam
ages to properly.
Some of the large railroad compa-
MES expeDd as much as $3.50, 600 in "a
year for the settlement Of such cases or
the payment of judgments recovered.
This item OF expense on all American
railroads is ordinarily put at about S.
600, 600.
A serious accident may entail on a
railroad company damages SO large as
to offset many months of profit. and
come railroads have been crippled for
long periods by such cases.
There are in the United States $780,
600 railroad employees, 100 900 station
men, 30, 900 engineers, 10000 firemen
and helpers, %. 900 conductors and dis.

A Wonderful Machine.

1t any one should ask you which is
the most wonderful machine ever in
vented, you would hesitate long
while between great number Of in
vent!ons, such as the phonograph, the
kaleidoscope, etc. But if you had
been with us to the pin manufactory 1
think you would at once decide that
the ordinary little machine used to
manufacture pins would come very
near the mark of mechanical perfec-
ton, since it stimulates the work of
human intelligence more than any
other machine ever invented.
First the thin wire is drawn between
row OF sharp little teeth, which
sever it into even lengths at the rate
of two pins second: and at the same
time the machine gives each bit three
smart little blows with hammer to
form the heads, and places them, head
down, into groove, whe.e they are
pressed forward to a set of levers,
which rounds and points them by
friction too rapidly for the eye to fol-
low. All this seems very ordinary,
mechanical business; but now comes
the wonderful part. After the pins
have been pointed the queer little
machine takes them in hand, one
by one, and very carefully assorts
them, rejecting every imperfect pin,
sorting the different lengths, and
finally, taking exactly the right num-
Der by the heads, thrusts them into
