correspondent of the New York Post,
have revolutlonized the sheep industry of
the world. Sheep can be slaughtered and
shipped from one end of the world to the
other. In 1900 it is said that almost
100000 frozen wethers were shipped
from Argentina to England, and 1000, 900
from Australia.
Should the tendency to eliminate the
Merno sheep continue, there is no doubt
that a decided change will come in the
character of wooden fabrics; they will
lose much of their softness of finish and
elegance of appearance. tits interesting,
however, to remember the prediction of
Secretary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture, that the day is not far
distant when the people of the United
States will grow the fine Merno wool
they now get from Australia, and be able
to supply all of their own demand for
finer grades of woolens. Experiments in
the Southern states show that MerIno
sheep can be raised there with entire
success. The heavy decline in the worlds
supply of sheep, Russia being the only
European country in which sheep are
increasing, is likely to afford the oppor-
tunity which the secretary of agricul-
| ture has fOreseen for a revival of the
Merino sheep interest, in the promo
ton of which Vermont growers have had
in former years such prominent part.
Electric Road from Rutland to Fair Haven.
The contract to build the new electric
railroad from West Rutland to Fair
Haven, which will be cons tructed by the
Rutland Street railway company, has
been awarded to the Adams Construc-
ton company of Niagara Falls, y. Y.
a large part of the rails and ties for the
new road have arrived and, as the COM
pany's construction tools have been sent
for, the work will probably begin in two
weeks at the latest. The route to be fol
lowed by the road has been surveyed and
the right of way secured. The new
track will start near the West Rutland
depot and run near and parallel to the
Delaware Il Hudson railroad for about
TWO miles and half from West Rutland

THE RAILROADS OF AMERICA.

The address which Senator DepeW
delivered at the Buffalo Exposition on
.Railroad-Da was full of interesting
and valuable information. He said
that since the construction of Stephen
sons locomotive seventy-twoi Years
ago. there have been built in the whole
world 475, 900 miles Of railway, which
are capitalized at about forty billion
dollars. The aggregate length OF, the
railways Of the United States is 1885,
i 600 miles. with a capitalization in
stock and bonds of eleven billion sew
en- hundred and nineteen million dol
lars. The mileage Of our railroads is
six times greater than that Of any
other country and many thousand
miles longer than all the railroads of
Europe combined. While this country
occupies about six per cent. of the land
surface of the globe. we have over
forty per cent of its railway mileage,
while the international commerce of
our country is so vast that the ton
mage annually carried by the railroads
! is greater than the totals of Great
Britain, ireland, France and Germany
combined.
1t was recalled that railway develop
ment Of the United States commenced
in 1880. in which year forty miles of
road We're built Up to $500 we had
reached only $4,000 miles, being less
than 1000 miles a year, but from that
time there was wonderful progress in
railroad building, exclusive of the war
period. Between 1866 and 1870, 21-
600 miles were built; between 1870
and 1880, $4,000 miles We're built; be-
{ tween 1880 and 1890, 1900 miles; be-
tween 1890 and 1897, 21,0Oo miles;
5 from 1897 to 1900 1900 miles.
While we have not built so many
miles Of road within the past few years
vast sums Of money have been ex-
j pended in improving them, in replac-
! ing wooden bridges with steel struc-
lures, and in putting on more power
ful locomotives and larger freight cars
and more elegantly appointed passen-
ger coaches.
Senator Depew says that in the SER
vice of the railroads in1900, there Mere
lover million men and they We're paid
$571O0o,000, or sixty per cent. of the
B entire operating expenses. There We're
