the accepted distance from the earth
to the moon. We had in 1911, the
last year in which figures for all
countries are available, on the
earth's surface, 639,9S1 miles of rail-
way divided as follows: United States
241, 1,199, Europe 2O7,432 and other
countries 191,350. The United States
has 38 per cent of the worlds mileage,
seven per cent Of the estimated pop
ulation and about five per cent Of the
area. The total capital invested in the
railways of the world is $4,000, 000,-
900, divided as follows: United States
$4,000, 100000 Europe $25,650, 100000
and other countries $11,350,0OO 900.
Reduced to mileage basis the cap
italization is as follows: The world
$4,000, United States $4,000, Europe
$124,O00, and other countries $50, 1000.
A comparison Of rates Is equally as
interesting and the United States
takes the lead in economy and serv.
ice. The average rate per ton per
hundred mile haul is as follows
United States 76c, Great Britain $2.53,
France $1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia
S2c, Austria-H Hungary $1.3O, Italy $3.50
and Switzerland $282.
The average yearly pay Of all rail-
road employees in the principal coun-

$757, Germany 1892, Italy $345. Aus.
tria 1922, Great Britain $279, France
$3.50 and Russia $204.
About 80 per cent, or $4,000 miles,
of the railways Of the world are
government owned. About half the
railway mileage of Europe is govern
ment owned.
A comparison of the economy. in
time and money and the convenience
