The First Railway Gauus.

An interesting story was told by one
OF George Stephenson's biographers re.
lating how the great engineer came to
adopt the four foot eight and half
inch gauge for his railways Some
time previous to the building Of his
Newcastle and Carlisle railway Ste
phenson had an opportunity of inspect
ing some portion of an old Roman wall,
through which the chariots used to
he driven. Deep ruts made by the
chariot wheels We're still visible. and
on measuring these he found their
distance apart to be as near rs possible
four feet eight and n half inches. Ste
phenson thereupon came to the conclu
sion that If world power like the
Romans had made such use of the
measure for its chariots he could not
be wrong in adopting those measure
ments as rule for his railway
