CIVILIZATIONS FRIEND.
The Iron Horse Spreads knowledge
and Progress.

We have yet two decades to wait be-
fore we can celebrate the centennial
anniversary of the birth of the railroad,
says "The Worlds Progress" in Four
Track News for July. 1t is wonder
full record, that eighty years OF rapid
transit development 1t has revolu-
tionized the world commercially, So
cially and intellectually. The Atlantic
and the Pacific have become near
neighbors; the inaccessible and there
fore valueless plains of the West have
been penetrated and brought into
touch with the markets Of the world:
New York and Chicago. that in the pio-
neer days were weeks away from one
snother, are now but eighteen hours
apart.
The railroad has entered Jerusalem;
1t has pierced darkest Africa: 1t Is
| crossing the sands OF Sahara; it'scales
the side of Vesuvius: 1t bridges the
most forbidding chasms and tunnels
through mountains and under rivers.
The whistle of the locomotive is the
voice of progress! The rails over
which It runs are steel bands that bind
nations into q great commercial broth
erhood
The rapid development OF the world
along every desirable line since the To-
comotive became a factor in human af.
fairs. is all the argument necessary to
prove the railroad the greatest of all
civilizing influences. A comparison or
the past eighty years with the thou
sands of centuries preceding furnishes
an eloquent proof Of the far-reaching.
uplifting, industrial. ethical and edu-
cational value of the railroad.

An accident showing such devotion
OF man for dumb animal that he
was willing to give his life to save it,
happened at Hartford. Connecticut
when Frank DAILY, aged twenfy-eight
was drowned in the Park river in res

to heavy road wagon, had toppled

sheriff, but he cannot decide whether
to send another posse in to shoot

With the repetitions of efforts to

the new passenger engines received
by the NJ. X Il T.. railroad men say
that they are the most up 20 date and
modern locomotives on any of the
western roads They have all the
latest improvements that have been
found practicable and their use
guarantees the greatest degree of
safety possible to be obtained in
engine building Among the improve
ments is n larger air capacity, both
in pump and reservoir.
The engines now used by the M
X. & T. have made on tests 10 miles
an hour The new locomotives can
maintain that speed, and If need be
can be pushed along faster. The fact
Is their limit of speed is unknown.
