one OF the greatest the world has

the ball not only would travel in an
almost straight line. but revolve

An eccentric BritOn residing near
Manchester is said to have expend
ed some years ago $50 900 in build
ing toy railway, which be caused
to be operated in a room measuring
ninety by thirty feet. The locomo
tive was FIVE feet long and eighteen
inches high, with everything else
in proportion; and fired with char
coal this tiny engine was able TO
drag its train over a quarter mile
OF rails at the rate of six miles an
hour.
Aside from this toy, perhaps the
smallest railway. from a practical
standpoint, is the one at the coun-
try seat Of the Duke of Westminster
at Eaton Hall in Cheshire. This
line is three miles in length, and
runs from the house TO the high way,
and over it passes market produce,
timber, bricks-everything OF a
bulky nature that goes from or comes
TO a great estate.
Yet this road. although capable OF
Transporting both passengers and
produce, is only a baby" road
The engine is so small that the eu-
gineer, standing erect beside it can
easily look down the smokestack,
while it is no particular feat OF agil-
ity to jump over the engine.

How hard it is to part
