$4,000, 900 for Twelve Miles

At the recent gathering of some 1000
members of the Railway Business asso-
citation of the United States. at the an
nual dinner In this city. there was one
topic discussed informally and in neigh
borly way to which 1t was thought some
reference might have been made in some
one of the speeches. 1t so happened that
upon the day of the meeting of the asso-
citation detailed information came rom
Baltimore of the completion of difficult
work both from the engineering and the
economic points of view by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad company. Here
tofore in West Virginia and In the noun
tain regions of that state through which
the Baltimore and Ohio passes, two sharp
and somewhat lengthy curves have con-
stituted part of the roadbed
1t has entailed good deal OF expense
to haul trains around those curves. AS
a part of the policy undertaken by Presi-
dent Willard of the Baltimore and Ohio
involving an expenditure ultimately of
500 100000 In improving the road and per-
fecting terminals. it was deemed expedi-
ent to instruct the engineers to survey
for cutoff. The line laid out by the
engineers was - miles in length and as
an engineering proposition was one of
the largest ever undertaken in the United
States. 1t matches some of the great
work done by E. II. Hartman on the
Union Pacific, and 1t cost approximet ely
$780, 900 a mile. but it now gives the Bal
timore and Ohio at that point a roas.bed
as good as any in the country. 1t elm
mated two great curves and furnishes
easy grades. The saving in the cost OF
operating heavy freight trains will more
than meet the cost of this investment.
Yet this could not have been undertaken
had 1t not been possible for the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad some years ago
to find capital for railroad improvements
Capital of this kind could not have been
obtained at any time in the past two
years. This is an Improvement Of the
kind which railroad managers have In
mind when they say that II is impera tive
that within four or five years there must
be a great constructive work of improve
ment formed by the American railroads
or else business will be congested All
that stands In the way is the reluctance
of capital to furnish fresh funds and this
reluctance will disappear as soon as the
railroads, in corporation with the gov
eminent, begin to get increases in gross
earnings

when children Were Sold in Enxland

In selling their children the Japan
ese in the famine-stricken districts are
following a custom that has not always
been unknown in England. In the year
1O17 King Canute found It necessary
to issue an edict forbidding English
parents to sell their children to the
Irish as slaves, In accordance with
their pleasing habit. They managed
better than that in ancient Egypt. for
there the unwanted child had only to
be exposed on the banks of the Nile to
be adopted and protected by the state.
