MANY SYSTEMS ARE in USE.
Railways In England Are Operated
Under q Variety OF Conditions.

Railways In England Are Operated
Under q Variety OF Conditions.
1t is not easy for an American rail-
road man to conceive OF the conditions
xis,.ng in the British islands. The
English railway systems total only 22,-
900 miles let this comparatively small
mileage is the property OF go COM
panieS, more than half OF which have
their separate administration and exec
utive. The others are 'leased and
worked lines" Allotting an average OF
eight directors apiece to each of the
l25 independent companies, the Eng
lish railways support 1000 directors,
whose fees can hardly be less than
1880 a year each,
The railroads of India cover about
$500 miles. Yet Thomas Robertson.
the expert who recently reported to
the British government on Indian rail-
way administration. says that the task
of supervising the lines of that vast
country might safely be intrusted to
board of three qualified men. assisted
by secretary. a chief inspector and a
NUM- OF inspectors and auditors.
Three experts with small STAFF are
considered by Mr.. Robertson capable of
performing duties of about the same
character as those for which in Eng
land are employed 1000 amateur di-
rectors with their secretaries and as
sistant secretaries. accountants, audi
tors, clerks. messengers, etc.
If only the sum Of $1,250,OO0 paid
away annually in fees to railway d.
rectors were available for centralized
ranway board 1t would be possible to
attract the ablest men by offering the
largest known salaries and yet make
saving.
The saving by standardization" is
also to be considered. The Hartman
roads. 1900 miles. are to unity their
machinery so that all parts" of roll
ing stock shall be interchangeable.
The consolidation of American roads
has gone much farther than in Britain
The Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania sys-
TENS contain about 10000 miles each,
either one of them nearly equaling the
$1,000 miles of all England. And
though the individual roads in these
systems have in some cases their sep
arate boards, these usually consist of
the same men. Many I'm
portant lines are also 'leased and
worked" Against the 230 systems of
q, 900 miles-Iess than 100 miles to a
line-in England the Vanderbilt and
systems include together
less than twenty component lines, or
an average of more than 1000 miles
line. The longest single line in the
United States. the Southern Pacific, has
over $500 miles of track.

HOW MEN MAY LIVE LONG

Goldwin smith Tells the Secret Of
His Youthfulness and vigor.
Goodwin Smith, the famous historian,
educator, Journalist and essaylst, who
is the literary life of Canada, has
brought out good deal of comment
ON the problem of old age, with mental
aud physical soundness, by his own
opinion of the influences which have
helped him celebrate his eightieth
birthday in good health and able to do
brilliant and valuable work In his
chosen field of labor.
Professor Smith thinks that he owes
much TO his freedom from hard tasks,
in school or otherwise, when boy.
lie was sickly child and his chance
of even average length of days seemed
poor. But he was allowed much free
dom in boyhood, TO roam the fields
and play instead of sticking closely to
books or taxing his mind severely. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that Gold
win Smith was still young lad, how
ever, when he began to work jealous
ly in school, and at Eton and in the
university he was brilliant student.
Another point he makes much of is his
lifelong habit of working in the early
morning rather than late at night, and
getting sleep in the hours of darkness,
natures time for rest, He also testi-
fes to his constant care as to outdoor
exercise and his moderation in eating
and drinking leader.

SEWING MACHINES

been put on exhibition in England
The photograph of it, which is here
given, was obtained from the Scientific
American.
This machine. which looks more like
a grtndstone than sewing machine,
was made by an inventor named
Charles Kyle. A glance at 1t shows
the wonderful progress that has been
made in this line during the last three
genera ttons.
Forty stitches minute is about as
fast as any one can sew by hand with
an ordinary needle. In the year 1875
