THE ENGINEERING MARVEL o
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

The Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line Railroad is the engineering
regarded by engineers. electrical and
railroad men as the most feasible and
practical connection between Chicago
and New York 1t not only cuts down
hours, but the fare as we'll. Its ope-
rating expenses are less and its traffic
railroad between the two cities.
The Goshen. South Bend and Chicago
Railroad is now being constructed
through Indiana as the first section of
Line Railroad. The first one hundred
miles will cost s7.700,000. This amount
has already been subscribed This road
New York Electric Air Line Railroad.
The grading on this section began Sep
tember /, 1906 Building section by
earning property long before the entire
road Ga distance of $50 miles) is COM
pleted.
FOR PASSENGER, MAIL AND EX-
PRESS SERVICE.
The Chicago New York Electric Air
Line Railroad is being built primarily
to accommodate passenger, mail and
express service. 1T will not require the
extensive terminal facilities nor the
vast amount of rolling stock that
are necessary on freight road. By far
the largest revenue will be received
from its passenger business. Each, pas
senger is unit and cannot be routed
by Combinations of competing lines.
Besides the passenger loads and un-
loads himself. therefore provision VIII
not be made for housing, yardage and
storing, as Is the case with freight.
This trunk line railroad. $50 miles long,
will have a tributary territory on either
side of its right of way much wider in
extent than is usually estims ted for a
short interurban road. Toledo. Detroit,
Sandusky and Cleveland lie tributary
to the Air Line. midway between Chi
cago and New York. The entire terri
tory traversed by the Air Line is thick
ly settled with thriving smaller cities
and a large rural population. The en-
tire intermediate country between ter
minals is interlaced with steam and
electric railroads which will act as
feeders for the Air Line. A large num-
ber of passengers will travel on them
from distance to avail themselves of
the fast time and the exceptional ser
vice to New York or Chicago. The Air
Line will, in turn, act as feeder to all
connecting lines, with which valuab bic
traffic arrangements will be made. The

MARCHING Geese.

Norfolk geese were driven up to Lon
don in thousands without losing con-
dition. 1t paid better before the days
of railways to let the geese transport
themselves. The largest drove men,
toned was one of 5000, which went
from Suffolk, through Chelmsford and
on TO London. They took their journey
easily, marching ten miles day. The
ordinary days march of the German
army is thirteen miles, only three miles
better than the geese. When Lord Ok
