DRAINED OF CATTLE.
Prophesied That Cattle Shipments
From Kansas VIII Slump.

The live stock earnings Of western
roads will show a startling decrease
next year as a result of the failure OF
the western corn crop, says the KAN
sas City Journal. The rush of live
stock to market still continues. and
Kansas, particularly, is being rapidly
drained OF cattle.
The live stock shipped into the Kan
sas City and St Joseph markets is be-
ing reshipped to northern Iowa, ONO,
Illinois, South Dakota, Wyoming and
Montana. More Of the stock is being
shipped out Of Kansas City and st.
Joseph to feeding territories east OF the
Missouri river than west. These mar
kets viii see little Of this stock next
year. The cattle fed east OF the Mis-
souri, river VIII go into the St. Louis
and Chicago markets. and what chi
cagO doesn't get of the northern feed
ers viii principally 80 to Omaha.
The effort made by Kansas roads to
stop the rush of stock to the market
has been largely ineffective. The Santa
TIE went SO far as to send out circular
letters advising stock men to hold their
cattle. But through it all the heavy
movement of cattle to market has con-
tinued and Will probably continue I'M
til comparatively few cattle are left In
Kansas The dry weather following
the breaking of the summer drouth dis

farmers at reasonable prices by slash

cred that the dealers, not the farmers.

cording to the figures available IN 1898,
it appears that at the end Of that year
the length OF all the railway systems IN
the world amounted to 772150 kiloms,
or AIS. 79n miles. This length of rail-
roads represents nineteen and quar-
ter times plus 500 kiioms-, the clreum-
ference of the earth at the equator, the
latter being 40.070 kiloms., and it eX-
ceeds by 5000 kiloms- twice the mean
distance of the moon from the earth, or
3S4,42 kiloms. The figures u l29

OF the fact that a line happens to pos

H. A Watson. superintendent of the

of our country are nC- to be COMPARED

French Scheme For Cooling Cars.

A dispatch from Paris states that a
novel Continuance for cooling railway
carriages in hot weather has been fitted
by the State railway to all carriages or
to Royan It consists of a box meas
uring feet by IS inches, divided into
compartments, and fixed to the front
end of the carriage in such a way that
a current of air passes through the
compartments of the box, which are
filled with ice, into the corridor, and
thus keeps the interior of the carriage
much cooler than the outside air.
