Sleeping Customs In New Guinea.

In New Guinea parents send their
daughters to bed in little house at
the top Of tree every night, and,
when the girls have gone up, the lad
der is removed, so that there is no
coming down till the parents allow it.
Elopements under these circumstances
must be difficult, and parents no doubt
sleep the sounder for knowing that
their girls are unable to take their
walks abroad until their elders see fit
for them to do so.

The Uncomfortable Rate.

There is a unanimity of opinion among
railway men as to whether the roads can
afford to carry passengers for cents a
mile. There Is no doubt that 1t can be done
east of the Mississippi river and in the more
thickly settled states. but out on the plains,
in the mountains and everywhere west or
the river 1t would be impossible. Taking
everything into consideration. including ex-
cursion rates, free passes. half-fare tickets
given to clergymen and others, the average
passenger earnings of all the American
roads put together have seldom exceeded
cents a mile.

Passenger rates In Germany are lower
than in any other of the European coun-
tries, and. probably. than anywhere else
in the world; and they are fixed by the
government. There are distinct rates for
fast and for slow trains: for express trains
and locals The following are the rates on
express trains.
First class, 2I4 cents q mile.
Second class, 80 cents q mile.
Third class. LII cents mile.
The following are the rates for slow To-
cal trains:
First class. lee cents mile.
Secoad class, 14S cents mile
Third class. 90 cents n mile.
There is also fourth class still lower
and a special rate for soldiers which Is still
cheaper but 1t is the first and second-class
rates only In which Americans are interest
ed On all the German roads, especially
those belonging to the government. there
is very little difference between the first
and secondLclass accommodation. The car
riages or cars for the former are little more
luxurious the seats are upholstered in
leather instead of cloth or velveteen. An
ordinary passenger would never know
whether he was In first or a second-class
car. and really the only advantage In the
former Is that he Is always sure Of having
plenty of room. Very few people-none but
fools and Americans-travel first class, Is
familiar adage and hence the compart-
ments are never crowded. while 1t is often
difficult to get seat in second-class car
riages and families are frequently COM
PEELED to be separated.
1t Is interesting to compare the passen-
ger rates In Germany with those of the
United States for corresponding distances.

American Wages Highest.


The wages paid railway employees in Ger
many and other parts of Europe are very
much less than In the United States. and.
at the same time. the two cents a mile paid
for transportation would go a great deal
farther over there il expended for any
thing else than railway tickets, and means
a great deal more to the passenger. as well
as to the railway employee. than the same
amount of money in the United States;
The British railroads pay their employees
better than those of any other country. ana
yet their average compensation, including
everybody. from general managers to
switchmen. Is only $244 year, while the
average compensation OF the American
railroad employee Is 1913 year. In Ger
many the average is less than 500. In
France 1t is little more.
But, as said In a recent letter the rail-
way managers east of the Mississippi river
have made up their minds that the two
cent rate Is Inevitable and are getting
ready to adjust themselves to II. An evo-
luton in passenger transportation Is soon
to occur. Local and suburban business
the short haul traffic-wiI soon be done by
electricity, and the long-haul express busi-
ness by steam. All Of the railroads run
ming into New York. except the Pennsyl-
vania the Hudson River and New Haven
and Hartford from the north. and the Erie.
Lackawanna and Jersey Central on the
other side of the Hudson. are now spending
enormous sums of money to "electrify," as
they call II. their suburban business. Mr..
George Westinghouse is organizing a cor
poration to be owned and controlled Jointly
by the several trunk lines entering New
York which will take over existing trolley
roads and build new ones for the purpose
of handling the suburban business.
Chief Engineer Wallace resigned his po-
sition with the Panama canal for the Bur
pose OF receiving a salary of $65, 900 year
from this company. The Erie RAILROAD has
already commenced work In New Jersey
and will build $50 miles of trolley tracks
within the next year so. IT is also buy
ing up existing lines running from, the
country into the ferries.
The New York Central Railway Company
is spending s25. coo 600 for facilities TO han
die its suburban business by electricity
and has acquired control of the trolley
lines all the way from Schenectady TO But
falo which compete with its regular local
business through New York state The
purchases include the street car systems in
Utica, Schenectady, Syracuse Rochester,
Lockport and Niagara Falls and represent
an investment of more than ten million
dollars by the Vanderbilt syndicate II isl
intended to obtain the power for operating
these roads from Niagara river and the
ultimate object Is to divert to them ali of
the short-haul passengers. so that the ac-
commodation trains on the steam railroad
may be taken on.
Similar arrangements Will doubtless be
made by other railroads I'm the eastern and
central states. In order to comply with the
two-cents-a-mile law.
