CHAPTER XxxV.
The Wedding Of the Rails.


A glorious. cloudless day! The tenth
of May. 1869.
Beside the majestic inland sea, gath
cred there from near and from half
the world away, men and women had
come to celebrate the elimination Of
two tremendous enterprises.
Against calumny, against plot and
counterpart, against the power Of
money and bribery, against old Time
himself, had the Central Pacific rail-
road come to completion. On pork.
beans, "ncey," and pluck had 1t been
builded, teaching the world its great
est lesson in iron.
Surrounding similar obstacles the
Union Pacific had come westward to
meet II. And here, in the heart Of
the continent, amidst cheers, speech
es, and the screaming of whistles, the
final blow was struck, the day made
historic.
Early in the morning magnificent
trains came from each way bearing
officials and dignitaries. Following
them thronged the sightseers.

pride in the uplift Of her dark head.

Tho Size of the Sea.

The Pacific covers $4,000, 900,
the Atlantic 0,O00,0 900 and the In
dian ocean, Arctic and Antarctic
az 100000 square miles.
To stow away the contents of the
Pacific it would be necessary to fill
a tank one mile long, one mile wide
and one mile deep every day for 40
years. Put in figures, the Pacific
holds in weight 5000, 000,000,-
000, 100000 tons. It would take
about 100000 years for all its wa
ter to pass over the falls of Niagara.
The average depth of the Allan
tic is not quite three miles. It's wa
tiers weigh 325, 900, O0O, OO0, zoe 1000
tons, and q tank to contain it would
have each of its six sides 430 miles
long. The figures of the other
oceans are in the same startling pro-
portions. 1t would take all the
sea water in the world about 2,000,-
900 years to flow over Niagara. A
tank to hold it all would have to
measure nearly 1000 miles along
each of its sides.
