Identifying them in case they are

duly tagged and released last. spring

When Sixteen Miles an Hour Made
this. Passengers Dizzy.
In 1870, when the railway was open
ed between Liverpool and Manchester,
the Liverpool terminus was at Wap-
ping. Lime street tunnel was not COM
pleted until about six years later
AT first the service consisted of three
trains each way on week days and two
on Sundays. but this was soon found
to be insufficient. After Lime street
station was opened there We're six first
class; trains and six second class trains
each way ON week days and two of
each description OH Sundays. The jour
ney of thirty-one miles occupied near
ly two hours, which led to complaints
that the speed was too great to be
pleasant and caused dizziness. On the
other hand, sanguine expectations were
INDUCED in that in course of time the
average rate, of travelling would be at
least double the ordinary speed of the
Swiftest conveyanceS drawn by horses
1t was anticipated that the general
adoption of railways would lead to "a
vast decrease in the consumption of
oats AMI hay by the substitution OF
steam engines in lieu of horses. and
that portion of the soil which has hith-
erto been allotted to the growth of
such produce may be appropriated to
the raising CT food suitable to the hu-
man Spe":es'-an important conSidera-
