conclusions one is sometimes compelled
to draw from them are altogether too

the public mind.
For example. in the year 1895. total CT
200 0a0.000 passengers were carried on
British railroads on 27.g0 miles OF track.
against SDto0Q.068 passengers carried on
American railroads on a mileage Of 2r-3@3-
Generally speaking. collisions and derdli-
urents form quite a reliable standard from
which 10 make comparisons in regard 70

remembered that the chances for acci-
dents are naturally increased with IN

cation Of train movements

to find the density of conditions in Great
Britain reflected in a startling list Of IA

conclusions. we fnd there were l5455 col
