1t will be seen that the gross income
per mile of the Boston & Maine is the
largest of all; but it must be remem-
bered that the gross income over the
entire lines operated by this company,
within and without the State, is in
cluded in the returns made. The same
may be said of the Maine Central,
Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk.
Of the roads operated wholly within
the State the Portland & Rumford
Falls shows the greatest income per
mile. $6467.42; while the Lime Rock
Railroad in Rockland comes next With
an income of s6,391.90. The smallest
income is that of the Wiscasset q
Quebec, it's income per mile being only
S512OG. This is accounted for par
TALLY by the fact that up to June 80
1901, only a small portion of this line
was in operation. The income for this
wear will undoubtedly show big IN
crease.
The past year has beena good one for
the railroads and it is expected that
the reports will show a marked gam
over the preceding year. This expect
ed gain is attributed to the fact that
the freight traffic over the steam
roads greatly increased during the
past year, and the figures showing
that increase will prove astonishing
when they are made up and printed.
The gain in the business of the
steam roads has not been greater IN
degree than that on the street rail-
roads of the State. The returns from
most of these roads for the year 1902
win show a big gain in their gross
| transportation earnings. This is evil
I dent from the fact that the larger ara
more extensive lines have been doils
| a greater volume of business during
| tbe railroad wear 1902 than they did in
| 1901. And even some OF the sfiaiitf
limos will show a marked gain in this
| respect.

Chinese Army Rolls.

Now that China has Russia for o
near neighbor, it remains to be seer
how succestsully or otherwise the
Middle Kingdom will continue to prac
tice It's favorite game of bluff. How
1t has reinforced its army is shown by
the Swedish explorer, Hedin.
The Chinese have a most extraordi
nary way of enumerating their troops
They are not content with counting
the soldiers only. but reckon in also
their horses, rifles. shoes. breeches
and so forth. SO that the resultant to
tai is long way above what it ought
to be.
They apparently go on the supposi
ton that the rife is at least as valu
able as the man. and by an analogous
train of reasoning they argue that o
man is of little use If he has to travel
on foot. that he cannot go about nakee
and so on. Hence they count the
whole kit, horse, rife, breeches, and
all.
By this peculiar process of arith
metic they fancy they deceive the
Russians into believing their garri
sons much stronger than they are.

The GROWING OF THE COCK.

The cock crows loud from yonder barn
His midnight bugie call;
Though darkness hangs DER held and tarn
And silence over all.
He watches for the setting star,
The daybreak coming on,
And trumpet-throated, near and Tar,
He elcomes In the dawn.

From thee has ever sprung;
No riDg-dove's moan is in thy throat,
Thy heart IL ever young.

The battle. long and grim,
Fall to thy own victorious lance,
Thou singst battle hymn.
Proud OF thy splendor. warrior bird,
And of thy clarion tone;
No Orient breezes ever stirred
A radiance like thine own.
No other voice but sometimes sings
note at sorrows call:
Thou singst the song the morning brings,
Or singest not at all.
Like thee. too would joyous be.
Like daylight's coming on.
And call to heaven and cath and sea
The gladnrss OF the dawn.

RUBBER PLANTING.
Expense and difficulties which Must BE
Met TO Succecd.


Met to Succeed.
Many inquiries are made as to the
cost per acre of planting rubber trees,
which work. to the uninitiated,
doubtless seems very simple matter.
But it is evident from the printed re-
ports of some of the large plantation
companies. that the mere setting out
OF the young seedlings must represent
but small part of the work necessary
in forming plantation on land just re.
claimed from the native forest Before
there can be any planting must come
the establishment of a community of
laborers-which does not, of course,
exist in a foerst-covered region. The
work of clearing is no small matter,
and this is followed by the planting,
continued probably through several
years, with simultaneous care of the
trees already set out. 1t seems to be the
part of economy TO produce on the plan.
tation. as far as possible, crops neces-
sary for the subsistence of the men
and animals employed. and not a few
companies are engaged also in the cul-
tivation of side crops" for market,
such as will yield an income while the
rubber trees are reaching a productive
age.
On one plantation in Mexico. a report
on which has reached us. although
the greater part of the projected rub
Ser planting remains to be done. a vii.
lage has grown up, with a population
varying from $50 to 500. a municipality
has been organized and a postoffice
established. There is a company store
carrying a stock of goods valued at
$4,000 Mexican; a meat market, black
smith shop, laundry. saw mill, brick
making plant and lime kiln; and also
a school for the children on the planta-
ton and a salaried physician. There
is even police force-paid for, like
everything else mentioned above, by
the company. 1t is only by making an
outlay for these various purposes that
a supply Of labor can be insured for
the coming years of development which
must precede the first yield of cultivat-
ed rubber from this plantation. There
must be labor for constructing build.
ings. laying out roads. building numer.
Gus small bridges and for planting the
various quick producing crops-all Of
which work is carried on while other
laborers are clearing land, making rub
Der nurseries and transplanting rubber
seedlings and caring for them for the
first few years. Moreover. some outlay
Is often necessary for creating means
of transportation to the nearest railway
or seaport.
OF course. the plantation referred to
is one of the larger enterprises of this
class in Mexico: but even on the small
private plantations the owner does not
calculate to plant or live by rubber
alone. There are on the small, as well
as the large estates. many items of
outlay beyond the mere setting out of
rubber trees, SO that the prospective
planter who confines his estimates to
this one feature alone will likely be
doomed to early disappointment All of
which would indicate that the question
often heard, as to the cost per acre OF
planting rubber" is much easier
asked than answered.-Caracas Herald.
