The picturesque station house.
1t surprises most Americans when they learn that
there are four hundred railway stations within a
radius Of twelve miles OF London. To New Yorker
used getting along with the Grand Central a
Harlem station and the ferries, it seems
almost impossible that a use could be found for
buch number. The finest OF the London stations
IS the Great Eastern and its operation differs but
little from that of an American city station.
In England there is a locomotive for practically
every mile of road. In America there twenty
locomotives for each hundred miles operated There
are S passenger coaches for each hundred miles in
England, ana eighteen in America. There are 316l
freight to the hundred miles OF English road.
and 7ls TO the hundred in America. From these
figures it would seem that the English roads
vastly better equipped until one remembers that
America possesses 1855 miles Of railroad, and
England has 22.G72 It IS the difference between
retail and a wholesale business, and as in many
other things America does it wholesale.

the American roads really excel.
! The English railroads have points OF supe-

handsome stations which the roads maintain at lit

trains stop in twenty-four hours. and the traffic
hardly pays the wages OF the ticket agent These

There is reason for this. The American roads
were built through unsettled country. The peo-
ple and towns wanted them, and wanted them fast
Far from framing restrictions and requiring artis-
dc station property they often gave land and

were built through conservative settled country.

Many tourists will be disappointed that Russias
greatest railroad is closed to the general public
by the necessities of war. Globe trotting trips
would have been more numerous this summer than
ever before had the road remained open. There is

the captain desired TO honor were terribly seasck.
