The oldest steam railroad which is

America can boast the possession Of
an iron way still existing as part Of
the South Carolina & Georgia rail-
way. which was laid two years before
that date, and which is perhaps the
only passenger line that ever was
worked by wind power. 1t is recorded

Many passengers were drowned in the

At dinner there was a general hush

way, and which was built to the order
Of the late duke Of Buckingham and
Chandos. cost only $1,000 per mile. It
is Of standard gauge, and is now
used as a light railway.
The most costly piece of railway
line in the world is that between the
Mansion House and Aldgate, on the
Underground, London. 1t cost nearly
S10,e00,000. Between Trinity square
and King William statue the record
rose to no less than 5000 a yard, or
about $3.50 an inch.
For cheap travelling the TRANSIT
berian railroad holds a worlds record.
In order to encourage immigration
into Siberia third-class fares are
granted from any Russian station on
the line to Tobolsk for a sum equiva-
lent to four and sixpence. From To
bolsk on to the very edge of Man
churia you can travel for s2.S5. Thus
the emigrant can cover 5000 miles
for $3.50 This rate, which works out
at about 20 miles per penny, is GER
tainly cheaper than the fares on the
California line. the Pueblo & Beulah
Valley. Passengers by this railroad
are weighed and carried the whole
distance for one cent and a half a
pound
The most northern railroad line in
existence is the Ofoten, built across
the upper end of the Scandinavian pc
ninsula by British company, to tap
the great iron ore beds which cover
100000 acres. At the frontier station
between Norway and Sweden an enor-
nous hall has been built, into which
the whole train runs boldly, and
which can be closed as a protection
against the weather. When crossing
the arctic circle the engineer makes a
point Of blowing the whistle.
The Manila & Dagupan railroad
which is to be found in the island OF
Luzon, has some claim to be consid-
cred the most elegant in existence
Certainly no other line can boast that
all the sleepers are solid mahogany.
The London & Northwestern, be-
sides being the richest OF British
railroad companies-in fact, perhaps
the richest in the world-can boast
also of owning the largest engine
works in existencel The inclosed
space at Grove is s5 acres, and lit
tie over 80 acres is under cover. The
Midland has at Derby 26 acres 81 GOV
cred workshops.
The Great Western holds the Brit
ish records for the longest regular
nonstop run. During the summer
trains run between Paddington anC
Plymouth without stopping. The dis
tance is 246 miles. The same rail
road also possesses much the Longest
tunnel in the country. The famous
Severn tunnel. which took more time
and money to construct than almost
any other in existence, is 1854 yards
in length.
There is an Australian line which
owns most odd record. The New
South Wales line between Nyngar
and Bourke runs a distance of 12t
miles in a mathematlcally straight
line over a plain level almost as
billiard table.
