q" Railways.

The average number Of passengers
In each railroad train in the United
States In 1904 was 5025. This repre-
sents a growth from about 80 a train
In 1898, but is still far below the de-
velopment attained abroad. In 1898
Germany carried an average Of II per
sons In each train, and India had the
large figure Of 1S9. The development
Of the electric railway In this country
and the frequent train service help to
keep down the average. On each OF
the $4,000 miles Of railway In 1904
there were carried an average OF 1O4.-
1913 passengers. That Is to say. the
aggregate passenger mileage Of the
country, according to the Railway
World, divided by the mileage Of the
track, gives the figure named. In Ger
many, as far back as 1893, this figure
was $4,000 persons; In France 1t was
2S3, 900 In 1897, In India $4,000 and
In Austria 214,O00. The figures for
Great Britain are not obtainable.
