Formosa's First Railroad.

The people of Formosa have just
become up to date enough to have a
railroad of their own, and a detailed
report of its construction has been
forwarded to the stockholders, many
of whom are Frenchmen and English
men. The rails are English; the loco
motives are English and American;
the bridge work and Orders are
American, and the rolling stock is
native built on American trucks. The
labor employed was Formosan and
Japanese, but the work was done I'M
der the direction of French, English
and American engineers. The rates
CT wages paid per day to the mechan-
:cs and laborers furnish an interesting
contrast between the value put upon
work in the Occident and Orient. The
Jap, on an average, received one-third
more than the Formosan, and the day
was of ten working hours. Here is
the schedule of the highest rates paid:
Carpenters, 81 cents; sawyers, ga
cents; masons and plasterers, 80
cents; roofers, So cents; coolies, 81
cents; workmen on scaffolding, So
cents; navvies. 48 cents; painters, IS
cents; bIscksmiths, 20 cents.
