Evolution of the Railroad.

There are single rails GO feet long
and 100 pounds to the YARD on the rail
roads of to-day as heavy as Peter
Cooper's old time locomotive says Les
lies Weekly. Before the civil war a
trainload of 200 tons was considered
great. Now some freight engines haul
loads of 2.500 tons. The first loco
motives used In the United States had
to be obtained from England To-day
United States locomotives are found
on the railways of Europe, Asia. Afri-
ca and the islands of the sea. One con-
Germ in Philadelphia. the Baldwin
works, has made over 10000 locomo-
tives since 1t was founded Ii will
turn ont in 1903 half dozen every
working day, or 800 in all.
When the United States, 20 years
ago, began to follow in England's lead
in the adoption of the railway nobody
supposed we could catch mp with that
country. Between 1880 and 1890 the
United States built 10000 miles of rail-
way more than England, France and
Germany had constructed in 30 years.
To-day there are 205,oo0 miles of rail-
way in the United States, as COM
pared with 10000 in the whole of Eu-
rope, and England is not the leading
country in Europe either in the num-
Der of miles OF road.

Wives WauteI.

A traveller in Arizona reports that
the young men of the west are
bachelors not from choice, but from
necessity. OF the dearth of women
in that section he says:
Thousands of cattle are standing
knee deep in alfalfa, the land is rich
and the young men are thrifty and
prosperous. But they can't get wives.
There are not women enough to 20
around. Arizona wants several car
loads of women just as soon as she can
get them.
Census statistics support this view
of the case, not only as to Arizona.
but as TO a number of other western
States and Territories. In Arizona
there are 57,02T males and only 81.
l2O females; in Kansas, 593,965 males
and 1920 females; in Washington.
24S,2S2 males and 100, 155 females.
