The only states not represented in
the table for 1899 are New Hampshire.
Rhode Island, Delaware. Nevada ana
South Dakota. Tie great agricultural
state Of Iowa, in which there has been
little railway building for the ten years
previous to 1899. stands at the head of
the list with So miles of new road.
The work in this state has been re-
markable and has been carried on al
most exclusively in the interest of
large systems. Arkansas ranks second
with 20 miles. Maine is credited with
three new lines with mileage Of 1910
miles The notable fact about TILL
work Of the past year is that there has
been comparatively little building by
new companies. more than three-quar-
tiers of the new mileage having been
built by or in the interest Of existing
lines.

Railway Building in 1899.

The work Of the transportation COM
panies is always a good index to the
business conditions of the country, and
their returns for 1899 show the great
prosperity of the United States in the
most convincing figures. The railway
building for 1899 as well as the work of
existing lines in carrying passengers
and freight. shows a most significant
increase over the preceding years. The
Railway Age has made very complete
canvass Of the country. including every
state in the Union, and while the re
turns are not yet all in, the reports
show that more miles of new railroad
have been built during 1899 than in any
previous year since 1890, when $3.50
miles of line We're completed. Since
January, 1899, no less than $500 miles of
track have been laid in the United
States on 312 lines in "A states and ter
ritores.
Early last spring, when it was APP
parent that very pronounced revival
in railway building had set in. it seem
ed certain that before the close of the
year 5000 miles or more of new road
would be completed. Many important
extensions had already been undertaken
or We're being planned by large sys-
tens in the West and South. and for

women around me hopping their eyes
and drying their northumberland

reason or other uplifted-sat there
dry-eyed. almost smiling. No matter
what my mood, however, the thing
sure to keep me from weeping at the
theater Is any emotional display on
the part of her who is with me. I can
attend the weepiest kind Of a play I'M

more like laughing than crying, and

Changes That Have Taken Place In
Methods.
The glove industry, which was first
settled in Gloyersville, n. Y, in 1909,
now represents an investment Of no
less than SIS, O00. 900. Rough mittens
made from the deerskins received from
the traders in exchange for tin were
the first product Of the settlement, and
the first load of gloves that went to
Boston was forwarded in 1925. In the
early days Of the industry glovemaking
was followed exclusively by women,
but it now engages the services Of a
large number Of men. The old style
was for the glover to lay his pattern
ON the leather and then, after mark
ing the outline with a l|eadpencil, to
cut it out with his shears. The glove
was sewed by hand, and when seams
had been pounded it went through
the process of pressing. This IA done
by placing it between two boards, on
which the glovemaker sat while max
ing another pair. The modern method
Of manufacturing the glove Is to cut
the leather and fold it over so hat the
back is larger than the front. The
operator then makes three cuts
through the doubled pieces, so that it
may produce the back and front for the
four fingers. Next an ovoid hole is cut
for the insertion Of the thumbpiece
Long strips or gussets are sewn on the
inner side of the first and fourth fin
gers; but the second and third finger
gussets are sewn on both sides. After
ward small diamond-shaped pieces are
cut, fitted and sewn in the spaces be,
tween the bases of the fingers. The
ornamental embroidery is then stitched
on the back, the buttons or fasteners
fitted and the wrists hemmed and the
glove is flushed. The operators carr
