In the early railroad days, and that
era may be brought down to COM
paratively recent date, roadbeds were
constructed largely along the lines of
least resistance. The economy of
time was not considered as carefully
.as the economy Of construction. Then
came the era OF speed, when the saw
ing of the hours became all import
ant. New, high-speed locomotives
were invented and fast express
schedules were arranged with few
stops. but there was still another great
factor In bringing about the present
fast train service. that the average
person fails TO take into account. A
great deal of speed can be put into
the track itself And so came an era
of improvement in the roadbed. and
grades were cut down and filled up
TO as near dead level as possible,
and cut-offs we're built. to eliminate
bends and curves. So with "a fast
track" and high-speed locomotives the
modern express trains and specials"
have reduced the distance between
points and added to the fast train SER
vfce without sacrificing either COM
fort or safety.-From THE Worlds

MAKES A DEMAND.
Porto Rico Asks for Statehood or In
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Not
Likely to Comply.

San Juan, P. r., Feb. 22.-Porto Rico
on Saturday took bold step for state
hood or independence and decided on a
demand to the United States which will
take the form Of an ultimatum. In the
federal assembly after debate that was
exciting at all times and revolutionary
in frequent outbreaks the federal assem-
bly, adopted by an overwhelming major
ity resolution of defiance to the Amer
lean government as It at present controls
Porto Rican affairs. Most OF the in
fammatory speeches urged an emphatic
demand for independence, and the case
Of Cuba was cited in comparison to show
what advantages were to be gained by
cutting aloof from the Washington gov
eminent. Some Of the more conserva-
tive members, however, pointed out the
improbability of the United States con-
senting to loss of the island, and 1t was
urged that the original demand be modi-
ied so as to ask for statehood, with in
dependence an alternative. AS finally
adopted the demand declares the in
terests of the people demand revolu-
ton from the existing American admin
istration and insists on immediate state
hood, or, II that Is not granted, inde-
pendence. The declaration was adopted
amid loud hurrahs by vote Of 60 to 10.
