second case is Of tie that supported
the rails of the Big Four on it's Cairo
division for more than twenty years,
and is still in good condition. This
tie has also been taken up and is kept
in the engineers Office.
If the experiments prove satisfac-
tory and the wood gives results in
proportion with what is claimed for
it. the overshadowing and perplexing
crosstie problem, that is haunting the
dreams of general managers, is solved
and the catalpa will become as impor-
tant a factor in the building of rail-
roads as the steel rail. The saving
over the oak tie will be something
enormous as the largest expense with
reference to crosstie is the putting
down and taking up. Not only would
the catalpa tie save three-fourths on
original cost, but it would save the
same proportion on this latter expense
as it is claimed that it has life of as
many years as four oaken ties.

RESOURCES OF AMERICA.
BY EDWARD ATKINSON.

In no other equal area Of the surface
of the globe are found such abundant re-
sources in the soil, the mine or the forest
as within the area of the United States.
In no other equal area has domestic COM
merce been made free from interstate
taxation; in no other country have the
railway and river systems Of transporta-
tions been SO fully developed by private
enterprise, or subject to SO slight legal
interference or government ownership
or control. In no other manufacturing
or machine-using nation is imperial or
national taxation so low in ratio to the
population yet more, so low in
ratio to the value of the annual product
from which all taxes must be derived.
The great competing manufacturing
or machine-using States of the
world are the United States, the
United Kingdom, Germany, France,
Belgium, and the Netherlands. Their
populate in round numbers figures
about 23O, 900, 900, of which the people
of the United States count one-third.
Outside these countries there are more
than 100000, 900 people waiting for a
supply of the manufactured goods of
these machine-using countries. Other
European countries-Austria, Italy,
Spain-barely supply their own wants,
while the competition in manufactures
in the commerce of the world may be
disregarded, excepting as to few spec
ial products, such as the silks of the
East. Glance a moment at the relative
resources of these machine-using ma
tions. The United States produce an

excess of all the metals except tin; an
excess of the products of the field with
scarcely an exception; an excess of the
products Of the forests, soon to be sup
plemented by the vast resources of
Canada lest we should denude our forest
lands too rapidly ; an excess of coal and
of oil; an excess of all fibres excepting
silk and wool, reeled silk being too
much product of hand work to become
profitable in machine-using State (as
Daniel Webster said, we can't afford to
do ourselves what foreign paupers can
do SO we'll for us); wool capable Of be-
ing produced in excess of our own
wants, especially upon the uplands and
in the mountain valleys of the South
whenever the cur dog is suppressed and
reasonable share of intelligence applied
to the rotation of sheep, corn, and cot
ton on the same field. On the other
hand, we find our competitors in Europe
deficient in and mainly dependent upon
us for supply of food and of the most
important materials entering into their
processes of manufacture. Great Bri-
tain is deficient in food, in fibres, in
ores fit for making steel, and is subject
to increasing cost of coal with the posi-
bility of the exhaustion of her coking
coal. France and Belgium are amply
supplied with food, deficient in fibers, in
metals, and in fuel. Germany, with
poor soil, is barely capable of subsis-
tence, and is deficient in timber, in f.
bres, and in fuel. The Netherlands are
too small to have any considerable infu-
ence in the larger undertakings of COM
merce except as carriers and impor' e-s in
transit. Yet more, in no other country
has so small number of men been
diverted from the constructive work OF
peace to the destructive pursuit of war,
since slavery destroyed itself in our civil
war, as in the United States. In one
respect even the civil war was construc-
tive, since it made way for the new in
dustries of the regenerated South. The
result of these conditions is found in the
fact that in no other country is the cost
of labor per unit of product so low, and
iu no other country are the rates of
wages earned in factories or furnaces,
the workshop, the mine, forest, or field,
so high. The only exception to this
rule being in those few arts which can
not be conducted successfully without

onstrate the value of the plant.
In addition to this data and some
more detailed particulars about the
forests that have been planted in Kan

capitalists to select, buy and plant
nearly 5000 acres of land in the trees

Planting and Culture.
The tree is raised from the seed and
the first years growth is given in the
nursery. It is then planted and the
ground cultivated for three years
much the same as for corn. During
this time the space between the rows
of trees can be used for growing any
agricultural plant. except the grains
that are drilled or sown broadcast.
It natures in from fifteen to twenty
years, and from experiments it has
been learned that the average growth
is one inch increase in diameter for
each year. The mature tree, how
ever, according to his statements,
attains diameter of from six to
eight feet and height as great as 15O
feet.
It will grow in any part of the
United States south of Minnesota, and
to an altitude of 5000 feet.
Catalpa Enthusiast.
Mr.. Brown is very enthusiastic
about the future of the catalpa and
claims that it will be more and more
extensively planted each year until it's
growing becomes recognized indus
try. He says that on cleared ground
an acre can be planted for sum not
often exceeding $40 and that the profit
is not only large, but sure. He claims
that it is the most valuable wood in
the world for crossties and telegraph
poles, having life of from thirty to
thirty five years, while the oak will
last for only seven or eight years.
It's rapid growth makes it's cultivation
for these purposes possible and its
texture and hardness will allow it to
take the place of quarter sawed. oak in
any purpose that it is employed
There are two varieties, classified
commonly as the Northern and South
ern. The former is the most valuable,
grows more rapidly and attains a
