here had been arguing that, since re-
action here was started in April by the
decline in stocks and iron prices in the
United States so the elections effect
upon the business would be strongly felt
here. This view has been Strikingiy con-
drmed. The large sales in iron in the
United States this week attracted much
attention, causing unusual HrmneSs in

The Vossische Zeitung says:
The immediate future of the European
markets depends upon whether America
viii prolong the loans made to US or will
withdraw considerable sums from its
balances. Should the latter result have
been caused through any doubt with

The Latest Thing In Railways.

The latest thing in railroads Is one in
London: which cost $50 an inch. 1t is
only six miles long, but it Is from sew
euty to ninety feet below the surface.
It's route is from "Shepherd' Bush in
the west under Uxbridge road, Bays
water road, Oxford street, Holborn,
Newgate and Cheapside to she Bank. |"
1t has eleven stations about half mile
from one another.
The ailway is laid in two cast iron
tunnels, eleven feet six inches in diam
eter. In enc of these tunnels trains
going in one direction run. while in the
other trains going In the opposite di-
rection run, separate stations being
provided for the up and down trains.
A peculiarly of these tunnels is that
they do not always run level with each
other, sometimes one being built ABOVE
the other.
The stations are on the street, and
from these the passengers descend to
the trains by electric elevators, or If
they prefer by spiral stairways.
A novel feature of the rail- way ia that
sit rises nearer the surface at the
stations than in the intermediate sec
sione. This has obvious advantages.
1t lessons the depth OF the elevator
shafts and favors the easy starting and
stopping of trains. The arriving trat n
uphill Gue OuS
runs down hill-the force Of gravity
getting in it's work to the relief of the
motors and generators"
In practically everything except To-
cation this railroad Is an American
production. The trains, which are
run by electricity at fourteen miles an
hour, are not only of American model,
but of American manufacture. The
immense generator was built in the
United States. The big engine WAS
made in Milwaukee. "The carriages,
the locomotives, the cables, the main
generators, the exciters and the
main engines" says the London Time
':all came from the other side of the
Atlantic"
In partial explanation of this the
Times says that 'whe n the contr acts
were being arranged the British me-
chanio wac indulging in q strike, and
therefore, his masters were unable to
offer the necessary guaranty that they
would deliver the machinery at the re-
quired time"
Having built this remarkable rail-
way, it ia safe to say that Americans
will do much toward maintaining 1t by
travelling on it.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

Airbrdke School Car

The newest aid in railroad education
| Is an airbrske school car, maintained
| by the Burlington Route to instruct its
enginemen and trainmen In the proper
use of airbrakes. The car makes re.
gulAr visits TO the principal points on
Burltngton lines, the airbrske school
being in charge of instructor A. J
Gotta. Each morning and afternoon
he spends several hours at the car
showing railroaders just how to get
the best results from the brakes. The
machinery in the car is rugged with
the same amount of airpipe and cylin-
der space that is found In q train of
thirty air cars with the engine.
Mr.. Gotta Gays 1t Is mistaken opinion
of many that to make faster time the
railroads have been compelled to de-
vote all their energies toward building
faster locomotives. The existing
locomotives run fast enough to
maxi the fastest schedule, but the
msin trouble has been to make quick
stops. Every time the Burlington has
made radical reductions in It's time it
has placed in service improved air
brakes.

The MormOns 10 Wyoming.

Speaking Of the movement of 400
Mormons from Utah to the Big Horn
Basin of Wyoming, Charles Kingstone
one of the leaders. in q recent inter-
view said: 1.-THE Mormons who are mi
grating to Wyoming are not poor peo-
Pile. There Ia net q member Of the
colony who has less than 81 900, and
many are worth much more. They re-
present the best class of Mormons.
They will prove, as their fathers have,
great colonizers. Frugal, OF exem-
plsry habits and good morals, they
will, 1 feel sure, convert the Big Horn
Basin into one of the garden spots of
America. We have 200 scrapers
at Fort Bridger, ready to begin
work on the great irrigation ditch.
This will be thirty miles long, twenty
five feet wide at the top, fifteen feet
wide at the bottom, with a depth of
five feet. When finished IL will ir-
rigate 10000 acres of land. 1t will
cost about $40, 900. Although our pre-
sent contract with Wyoming includes
only 10000 acres Of land, it is our de.
sire to obtain a great deal more. On
the north bank of the Shoshone Is q
vast tableland of about 100, 900 acres.
We hope to irrigAte and develop this
land too. The Burlington railroad is
now building an extension into the

the Merchants Association to do
everything that could be done to open
up at territory for trade, as they
knew from previous experience that
when reduced rates were granted to
this city they brought a large clientele
of merchants that have never been
here before. This accounts for tie
strenuous efforts which the association
has taken to bring that trade to this
market.
"Tne Southern Pacific has announced
it's willingness to cooperate for the
benefit OF the New York market. The
Merchants Association in its circular
has reqssted all merchants taking ad-
vantag es OF these rates to place their

Fe.
Two years ago the Santa Fe manage
ment appointed a landscape gardener
identifying the station and chop
grounds on all their lines. This was q
commendable move as It did much
towards breaking the monotony of
railway travel. Ordinarily the scenery
presented to the traveller while wait
ing for trains Ia not noted for it's
grandeur, and the little gardens and
patks which the company began to In
stitute along the lines were welcome
GASES for the travellers.
But after the election OF Third Vice.
President Barr the position of land
scapegardener wass polished ,presumab-
ly for economy's sake, and the work of
establishing these GASES and of keeping
in good order those already established
has been abandoned,
The station grounds along the read
are receiving just what attention the
station employees see fit to give them
aud the result Is thesthe improvements
that were made during the time of the
landscape gardener are no longer visi-
BILE and the landscapes about their sta
tions are anything but pleasing to the
eye. While the beautifying of rail-
road grounds is not necessity, the
Santa Fee or any other com pany will
lose nothing b. making such impro-
vements upon their grounds as will
make the waits Of their patrons . plea
sure instead of one of the most unde.
sid cradle features of travel.
Many of the eastern roads have re-
cognized the value of suoh improve
ment, notably the Boston 81 Albany
and the Philadelphia and Reading.
The stations and grounds along these
roads are gems of art, and even The
terraces along the railroad cuts are
erased and howery.

document is an addendum to that
mortgage.
The original mortgage was sufficient
as security but the Santa Fe company
has grown considerably in .he past i've
years and in order to keep full faith
with its financial obligations 1t now
files an additional mortgage. reciting

A Peculiar Telegraph Disease.

A peculiar but very serious difficulty
besets- the operation of telegraph lines
in the Argentine Republic. The small
spider, of the variety that spins long
oobweb and floats on it in the air, is 60
plentiful there that the floating webs
settle on the wires in enormous quanti-
ties. AS soon as dew falls or q shower
of rain comes up, every microscopic
thread becomes wet and establishes
minute leak. The effect of thousands
and millions of such leaks Ia practically
to stop the operation of the lines, and
the government telegraph depar tment,
especially Ia Buenos Ayres, has been
put to .vasta Inconvenience by the cob
webs. A number of expedients have
been tried, but to no avail. On the i'm
portant line between Buenos Ayres
and Rosario the effect of the spider
webs is to cut down the speed. of work
ing from 300 or 400 to 80 messages an
hour. The government has just de-
termined, as a last resort, to connect
the two points by an underground
cable about one hundred and fifty miles
long.-New York Sun.
