SHOW PHENOMENAL GROWTH.
The Leading Railway Systems of the
l@ United States.

The process Of absorption Of small
er concerns by large corporations is
fully as marked among the railroads
as it is among the great manufacture
ing industries. The growth in mile
age Of the largest roads is truly phe-
nomenal, and it will surprise our read
ers to learn that upon this continent
there are three separate systems, each
Of which has a total mileage which
is almost half as great as the total
mileage of Great Britain. The largest
aggregation controlled by any one
company, says the Scientific Ameri.
can, is that of the New York Central
railroad, which totals 1o,410 miles;
making a very close second is the
Pennsylvania system with 10,392
square miles, while the great Ca
madam Pacific Overland route and
connections total 10,018 miles. An
other transcontinental line of almost
equol size is the Southern Pacific,
which owns and controls 1862 miles.
There are four companies controlling
from 1000 to 5000 miles; seven COM
;panies controlling from 5000 to
1000 miles; three companies from
5000 to 5000 miles, and nine COM
panies controlling from 1000 to
5000 miles Of track, the total mile
age controlled by % companies being
nearly 10000 miles. Of the five
great transcontinental companies, the
Canadian Pacific and the Southern
Pacific with over 10000 and 9,001
miles, respectively, are by far the
largest. The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe comes next with Z $3.50 miles,
followed by the Union Pacific with
1854, the Northern Pacific with 5,449
and the Great Northern with 5,2o1
miles Of track.

Tankards.

The word tankard was originally
applied to Z heavy and large vessel Of
wood banded with metal, in which to
carry water. Smaller wooden drink
ing tankards were subsequently made
and used throughout Europe, and
we're occasionally brought here BY the
eolonists. a plainly shaped wood
tankard, made Of slaves and hoops, il

SHREDDED CORN FODDER.

Producer Il Recognized BY
Many Authorities.

Corn fodder is very unsatisfactory
material to handle in the stable unless
1t has been thoroughly treated and re-
duced to fragments. Shredding obvi-
ates all the trouble and whatever
waste there is is excellent for bed.
ding.
The shredded corn stalks for feeding
purposes should vary (according to
Prof. Henry according to the char
acter of the fodder used and the ami
mails to which it is fed. At the Kansas
station the stover was cut in lengths
varying from one to two inches. In
stead of most of the cut fodder being
consumed by the cows there was an
average waste of 81 per cent. Of all
the cut fodder, and the conclusion was
naturally reached that the great value
of shred2ing fodder over the small,
sharp Gu pieces is that there are no
sharp edges to cut the mouths of the
cattle eating it.
Prof. Henry, in his work in Wis
consin, found very satisfactory results
by the use of shredded fodder. nsome
of his trials the same amount Of grain
or hay was fed to each lot of cows on
trial and he found IA saving Of "a per
cent. of the corn forage by using it in
the shredded form. The same writer
also found that in rearing calves in
tended for beef production corn slower
should constitute part of the rough
aess, and he also found very satisfac-
tory gains were made in using slower
during the fattening period Of steers.

ANDREW cARNEGIE's OFFER.
President nnd Members OF Congress
Agnin Consider II.

A number OF the prominent members OF
| both wings OF Congress with whom the
President has discussed Andrew Car
negie's offer TO endow national higher
education and research, are OF the opin-
ion that the gift cannot wisely be accept
ed as long as the Sl000o.OOO consists of
bonds Of the United States Steel Company.
The situation was thoroughly gone over in
the Cabinet meeting yesterday. Senator
Hanna was present.
1t Is clear that the President realizes
tire immense benefits TO be derived from
Mr.. Carnegie's proposition In an educa-
t.onal way. In brief. he is anxious to ac-
cept the offer for that purpose. II the
ofier provided cash instead Of SO, 600. 900
in Steei Trdst bonds. with the additional
provision that the Government shall not
negotiate the bonds in less than fifty
years. IL is safe TO say that the offer
would have been favorably recommended
to Congress by this time.
Although Mr.. Carnegie will not talk
about the matter, it is understood that he
is as much annoyed al the publicity given
his enterprise as is the President. 1t is
said that he Will withdraw his offer en-
tirely unless the President recommends IL
favorably. and IL is practical certainty
that unless favorable action is contem-
plated IL VIII never be submitted to Con-
gress.

SWEDISH CYCLERS
OUT OF THE RACE.
OSCAR JULIUS BREAKS A BONE.
Only Eight Teams Now Left In the
siN-Dny Contest-McLnrin Falls
often While Asleep. But
Is Not Hurt.

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-The fifth day of
the six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden was not so replete with in
cidents and sensations during the day
light hours at it was on Thursday, but
after nightfall they we're plentiful enough.
During the afternoon, McLarin. of the
English team, fell while half asleep. or
''dopey, and rolled down the track. He
did not hurt himself, although he repeated
the performance twice after that.

of the greatest sprint the race yet has
furnished there we're several upsets. and
Oscar Julius, Of the Swedish team. was
put out Of the contest with broken col
lar bone. This put his team out and left
eight pairs, Just half Of the number that
started in the race.
OF these, FIVE American teams were.
at midnight. tied for first place. Freder-
lex and Jaak and Hall and McIaren con-
tiDued as the only teams OF genuine for
eigners in the race. but they were too
far eehins the leaders to be reckoned
upon.
mere we're .Lany spTlnt5 during the
night and some riders lost laps; but not
withstanding the speeding, the string of
riders continued to recede steadily from
the records. This is plainly long grind
between sprinters and not a heart-to-
heart ride between pluggers
Saving Their Partners.
1t has been suspected by some Of the
steady watchers that the strong members
of some teams are working overtime in
order to save their partners-in other
words. that they are riding more than
twelve hours a day and thereby violating
the law; but If this is true 1t would take
the whole police force twenty-fOur hours
to check it up and prove it.
The midnight score was:
McEachern and Walthour, 2.19O-2;
Newkirk and Munro. 2.l90-2, Maya and
Wilson. 2l90-2: Butler and Mclean,

harbor to distance at sea The block
ade was maintained at an average dis
tance of about six to seven miles from
the harbor entrance during the day, and
probably somewhat nearer during the
night. Two vessels performed picket duty
at night two miles inside OF the line of
vessels.
The Spanish squadron was discovered
to be in the entrance to Santiago harbor,
steamins out, about $3.50 a. m. july 3,
1898.
THE Brooklyn at that time was head
I ing 10 the westward OF north. about $500
yards southwest quarters south
from the Morro. which was practically
her blockading position.
Large vessels coming out OF the har-
Dor Of Santiago were obliged to head
about southwest by south, and the Span
ish vessels. therefore. in coming out, un-
til clear. OF the shoal to the westward.
were Obliged to head directly for the
position of the Brooklyn. When clear OF
this shoal the Spanish vessels turned in
succession TO the westward and took a
course nearly parallel to the land.
The BrooLlyn's sLoop.-
The Brooklyn stood toward the Spanish
vessels with varying helm, fired one shot
from her forward tu1ret at $500 yards
range, which proved short. and then en-
gagged with her port battery. When about
LOO yards distant from the leading Span
ish ship. the Teresa. the Brooklyn turned
TO starboard. with her helm hard aport,
and continued SO TO turn until she HEADED
to the westward parallel to the course Of
the Spanish ships. The commanding off,
Ger of the Brooklyn put the helm hard
aport. and at almost the same instant
Commodore Schley gave the order Hard
aport.'
when the Brooklyn's helm was put hard
aport the Teresa was about 400 yards TO
the eastward of north from the Brooklyn.
the Nizcaya WAS TO the eastward OF the
Teresa, and the Colon was TO the east
ward OF the Yizcaya. When the Brook
lyn completed the turn and was heading
TO the westward, parallel to the course of
the Yizcaya, the Vizcaya and tire Colon
were about 1900 yards to the northward
and westward OF the Brooklyn.
The turn OF the Brooklyn was toward
the Texas. The Texas stopped and backed
her engines.
The HodGson Colloauy.
On July 8. 1898. about the time the
Brooklyn began her turn to stsrbosrd,
conversation regarding the proximity OF
the Texas took place between Commodore
Schley and Lieut.. A. c. Hodgson.
Admiral Schley caused 10 be published
