British Railroad statistics.

A recent report shows that in the
year 1904 only six passengers were
killed by accidents on railways in the
United Kingdom, and that 534 were
injured. From statistics kept for the
past thirty years, ending with 1903, it
seems that an average of one passen.
ger was killed in every 35,O53,O6
journeys and one injured in every
1,100,527 Journeys. Out Of a total of
71,007 railway employees, seven were
killed and ia injured during 1904.
The average for the preceding thirty
years was fourteen and 1877, respect
lively. This comparison shows an
extraordinary improvement, for the
number of railway employees was
greater in 1904 than the average num-
Der in the preceding thirty years.
