The railroads OF the United states ex-

rule do not keep large bank accounts, and
do practically cash business. turning
money rapidly.
An estimate made by one Of the scien-
the papers a short time ago gave as the
average annual expense Of American rail
roads I'm maintaining the condition Of
their roadbeds $40 OcO. 600. besides So. 0Oo,-

rate Of the extent 10 which railroad ex-
penses are to be subdivided. supposing
probably. that the largest items Of ex-
penditure are for cars and engines, fuel
employees, and terminals. Such is the fact
but there are other large items, and one
Of the largest of these is the item Of
taxes Railroad corporatiors In the Unita1
States are heavily taxed, and they pay
collectively in year, 1t has been esti-
mated, $40, 900. There is then another
item which figures largely in all railroad
accounts, the item Of legal expenses,
railroads being drawn into almost con-
slant litigation and requiring at all times
the services of counsel. II is estimated
that expenses of American railroads for
professional legal services amount In
year to about 100000, and this IS, Of
course, exclusive Of the sums requisite
to meet claims for personal injuries or
damages to property. Some Of the large
railroad companies expend as much as
s250.O00 in a year for the settlement Of
such cases or the payment Of judgments
recovered. This item Of expense on ell
American railroads Is ordinarily put at
about 5000. 900. A serious accident may
entail on a railroad company damages
so large as 10 Offset many months Of
profit and some railroads have been Grip
pied for long periods by such cases.

ANCIENT POLITICAL RINGS
oIden Time Schemes For Obtaining wealth
and Power.


The evil of monopolies and rings was
known to ancients, Aristotle referring
to them in his Politics, = and then, as
now, it was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation. The mo-
nopolist was in Roman law called a
dardanarius and punished under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia. Monopolies of
clothing, fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of 6onfscation and exile, SO
that it is certain that the rings of
the ancient days were as mischievous as
they are now At Athens law linn
tied the amount of corn man might
buy. The earliest recorded instance we
have was a corn ring.
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
lister and committed into his hands the
entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the shep-
herd kings and ruled over the whole Of
Egypt as Joseph's pharaoh seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years of remarkable plenty bought
up every bushel of corn beyond the alb
solute needs of the Egyptians and stored
it. During the terrible famine that fol-
lowed he was able to get his own price
and bartered corn successfully for the
Egyptian money, cattle and land, and,
taking one-ffth for pharaoh, made him
supremely wealthy. 1t was not merely
a provident act, but a very polite one,
his policy being to centralize power in
the monarch's hands. London An

AMERICAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
The Planting of Forests Likely TO Be an
Important Industry.

Important Industry.
Looking not very far into the future,
it seems that the planting of American
forests will become productive indus
try. Preservation of old forests, with
their masses of dry underbrush and fire
inviting collections of dry leaves, may
be advisable for some reasons. These
immense masses of firewood undoubted.
~ tend to collect snow, which, by its
gradual melting, furnishes supply to
the water reservoirs beneath the surface
of the ground. Snow thaws less quickly
under the shade of trees than in the
bright sunlight. Less water. therefore,
runs to supply floods and freshets than
when the snow is made to pass away
gradually. But this question does not
affect the solid timber interests.
In old forests, where there is a strug-
gle for life among the trees by reason
of their growing SO thickly together,
the result is the necessity of waiting
many years before the trees will reach
a size to make them desirable for tim
Der purposes Where trees have room to
grow and are properly cared for most
kinds of American trees will furnish
useful timber in 30 or 80 years, and for
many other purposes they can be en-
ployed even younger. 1t takes well on
to century for the struggling trees in
a dense wood to have any marketable
value.
While good timber, is becoming grad
ualIy scarcer ON account of our annual
forest fires, rising from the conditions
already stated, the demand is increasing,
and, what is more remarkable, Europe
is already calling on America for sup
ply of lumber American oak especially
is in great demand in the old world,
while our black walnut is closely fol-
lowing in its wake. Our lighter woods
also-suoh as the tulip tree and poplar
ARE coming into great demand there
for packing boxes and cases where light
weight is a great object. Those who are
interested in forestry in our country
should take up the matter of encourage
ment of forest planting. It will soon be
a greater question than forest preserva-
tion. -Meehan' Monthly.
