and Climate.
Labor in China varies in efficiency
according to place. and. curiously un.
like Europe, seems to vary inversely
with the temperature of the climate.
At Tien-Tsin and the northern ports
1t takes much longer to load and lin.
load cargo than at the ports of the
Yang-Tse, and the husbandry of the
soil shows less care in the northern
provinces than it does lower down.
In fact, the northern seem inclined to
hibernate, and allow the rigor of the
winter to unman them instead Of
squirting them to activity.
Still, after watching gangs of coolies
working in many places, it may safe.

and genuineness of their labor are su.

A RECORD BREAKER.
Plant System Makes Some Very
Fast Time.

Speaking of fast time made by rail-
road trains, the official record of fast
mail train on the Plant System,
February 2Sth, is as follows
A train consisting of engine No. Ill,
one sixty foot yestbule postal car and
one standard sleeper, ran from Flem>
ing, Ga. to Jacksonville, Fla, a dis
tauce of one hundred and forty EIGHT
miles, in one hundred and thirty -four
minutes, The fastest time on this run
wasE made between the following
points:
Jesup to Wsycross, 40 miles in 30
minutes. Wayoross to Eolkston. "a
miles in 2S minutes. Waycross TO Cali
lshan, So miles in 4S minutes. Way
GROSS to Jacksonville, 75> miles in 50
minutes.
The fastest time In the run was from
Screvea, Ga, TO the "a mile sldlmg,
distance OF four and eight-tenths miles
which was covered in exactly
two minutes and forty seconds. The
train stopped FOR water at :Jesup and
WaycrOss. stopped at Seaboard Air
Line crossing at Callahan and slowed
down twice; over the A. v. & W. and
Jacksonville i Southwestern crossings
between Jacksonville and Callahan.
When the remarkable time of this
train is compared with he schedule of
few years ago, some idea can be OBJ
tanned of the rapid advance OF train
service, especially in the South.
Roadbed and equipment are UNDER
going continual improvement and the
facilities of transportation offered are
OF the highest standard. The advance
In railroading in the past few years
