A writer in the New York Sun gives
figures to show that the problem of
procuring a sufficient number of rail
road ties causes the corporations in
creasing perplexity. A mile Of stand
ard single-track railroad requires
about $500 ties, and the average life
of a tie is estimated at about FIVE
years. The annual requirement of the
Pennsylvania railroad for the part Of
the system east of Pittsburg is nearly
100000 ties. The tie supply OF all
the railways Of the country represents
an aggregate impressive at once to the
business instinct and to the magma
ton. Under the best conditions, and
making no allowance for fire and other
accidents, a plot of 1000 acres and
period of 30 years are required TO pro-
duce 1000, 900 ties. Every line of rail
road thus becomes an argument in
favor Of preserving our forests from
destruction.

R.I,oonist Fell 200 Feet.

Prof. Fothergill was probably fatally
injured at Michigan City, Ind, on the
evening of the 9Th, during balloon
ascension and parachute jump. While
making the ascension he caught on one
of the guy ropes, which tore the para
chute, to which he was hanging, away
from the balloon. He fell 200 feet and
struck brick building near the center
of the city. He was picked up uncon-
scious. The doctor says he is hurt in
ternally and may die.
