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, 639,981 miles of rail-
way divided as follows: United States
241, 1893, Europe 207, 432 and other
countries 191,350. The United States
has 38 per CEN 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 $780, 900. 0OO,-
900, divided as follows: United States
$4,000, 000, 900 Europe $25, 600, 100000
and other countries $11, $780, 900, 900.
Reduced to a mileage basis the cap
italization is as follows: The world
$4,000, United States $4,000, Europe
$124,000, and other countries $50, 900.
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
United States 76c, Great Britain $3.50,

92c, Austria-Hungary $1.3O, Italy $3.50
and Switzerland 1882.
The average yearly pay of all rail-
road employees in the principal coun-
tries Is as follows: United States
1857, Germany 1892, Italy $345, Aus
tria 1922, Great Britain $279, France
$3.50 and Russia 1904.
About 80 per cent, or 188, 900 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
in travel, will be made in a later

IN discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great
est men in the history Of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex-
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, %Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage. the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed of the railways of the
world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in
vestment of capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds

The Cowardice of Brave Men.

Men in the trenches, now quite
used to the war game, have been
described as feeling jumpy"-the
sort of affection that used to be
called mauseritis. Here is a
state of mind not necessarily blame
worthy, not even unsoldierly; the
lbravest have experienced it. The
feeling is given various names: AS
when a young nobleman was sent to
the hospital suffering from heart
paralysis" Being immature, a
mere youth, his heart, in fact his
whole body, was undeveloped-a
man in spirit, but not yet in body.
Being so conspicuous figure it was
up to him to display the supreme
courage; and of course, he made
good. All the same there was a
DTOIUu0u SnOCh W MS p'y S'~"' -
ganism; and something had to evil
.dence that shock. His soul was
strong and brave; but his physical
being, with its subconscious will-to-
live, was afraid; and no shame to it
or to its princely owner.
Why should men get equlvocaI
about fear on the battlefield;why not
frankly call it that and not nerves
,or some like foolishness The cour'
age lies all in going ahead despite
the fear. The sublimest courage IL
the two in the morning" sort
when ones physical condition is a
tits lowest ebb. And the wonder is
lust that kind of courage is new be

enemy's fire. AS under no condi-
tons must the stability of the boat
be upset, stringent orders are issued
that no attempt at rendering assist
ance TO a stricken comrade must be
made, and that no shot is to be
fired from the boat.
When the boat fin ally grounds
on the opposite bank, the survivors
spring out ard rush the bank.
Probably the entire bridge train has
been employed in the ferriage, so a
fair number of men can probably be
landed on the far shore. These
men take up the task of clearing
out the enemy, while the pontons
return at once to the other shore to
begin the construction of the bridge.
A shallow trench has been dug in
the bank and sill laid, for the Sc
curity of the abutment span. The
first ponton is anchored in position,
the length of the span away from
the bank, and the balks or stringers
are laid in the notches, Beginning
from the shore, the waiting ponton-
iers rush forward with the flooring,
the chess, as it is called, to be fol-
lowed by the bearers of the side
rails, which are securely fastened
with rack-lashings. By the time
the first span is laid, the second
ponton is in position, and the work
continues until the bridge is COM
pleted. Each ponton is securely an
chored with an upstream anchor,
while every other one, at least, is
secured by downstream anchor, in
addition. Spare pontons and RATS
are anchored above the bridge, ready
to be f1oated into position in case of
accident, such as the striking of a
destructive she!
BY the time the eno of the bridge
is nearing the opposite bank, the
troops which are to cross are ap-
preaching the initial point, the en-
trance to the bridge where engineer
and staff officers keep careful watch
to see that there is no crowding.
The commanding officer of each
column has been told almost the
exact second when his command
! should enter the bridge, and he has
his troops under way at the proper
time, to prevent any massing of
troops about the approach.
Infantry is required to break step
in crossing, for the rhythmic beat
of marching feet would soon set up
such swaying of the bridge that
the anchors would be broken out

Orleans County Agricultural AssoCia-
ton Notes.

Every farmer should be interested
in the SECOND ANNUAL MEETING of
the Orleans County Agricultural
Association which is to be held at
Irasburg Town Hall on Friday,
October Is, beginning at 1915 a. m.
There are to be some interesting
talks by speakers from outside of
the county whom every one should
feel it a privilege to hear. A big
dinner will be served at noon and
good sociable time is assured. Your
old friend, whom you haven't seen
for ever so long, will be there and
you will have an opportunity to
renew old acquaintance and form
new ones. There is always some
thing new and valuable to be learn
ed from associations in a gathering

self by remaining at home. Men of
all other professions make a great
point of gatherings pertaining to
their profession. If the Association
mas not meant all that you antici-
pated that it would come and let's
have a good understanding in re-
gard to the matter and see if we
cannot cooperate to bring about the
desired needs. Last year there were
over three hundred farmers in at
tendaLce at the annual meeting,
this year we want even a better
showing. The attendance is not
limited to men but the women
should share in this meeting and
carry home something their hus-
bands could not remember.

based upon the American method,
it is the better to discuss that mere
ly.
Bridge trains are divided into two
classes, the heavy and the light,
sometimes called reserve and adj
vance guard trains. The boats and
material of the advance train are
much lighter than those Of the
reserve, for the boats are mere
Touchdown framework over which
canvas is stretched to form the
buoyant float. Mobility is the
Watchward of the advance guard
trains, for they must be able
to rush ahead with independent
cavalry, sometimes three DAYS
march in advance of the main
body.
The very lightness of construction
Of these trains has its drawbacks,
for the fra;l canvas covering has
not the strength to stand the bat
tering of an ice-choked river or the
constant strain of continuous line
of transportation. In addition, a
canvas boat is much more easily put
out of commission by hostile shot
than is one of the heavier wooden
boats of the reserve train. There
are four methods of constructing a
ponton bridge: By successive pom
tons, by parts, by RATS, and by
conversion. In the first case, each
ponton is put in place from one :
both banks and the span of tn
roadway completed in turn. By parts,
sections of the bridge are built along
the bank, fioated to position and the
smooth, u lbroken roadway fitted
in, with all the boats of the bridge
an equal distance apart. By RATS,
the ponton sections, consisting of
five or six pontons, with roadway,
are constructed at the bank, foated
to position, and the end boats OF
each raft are lashed to the end
boats of the adjoining RATS with
the roadway completed by false
balks and roadway over the joint
The method by conversion is the
hardest of all, for with it the
pontoniers must be thoroughly ex
perienced men and know their bust
ness. Even the carelessness of one
man, in casting an anchor at the
wrong place, may upset the entire
scheme and nullify the operation. Ir
conversion, the entire bridge is built
along one bank, an end secured, anC
the entire bridge is then permitted
to swing out on the current until
pivoting at the near bank, the

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
FRIDAY, OCTOBER s, 1915.

There is something in the law
about man being allowed to shoot
a deer if it is found damaging his
crops. Yet man in Dover was
fined 500 and costs for shooting a
deer which he alleged was doing
this same thing. There is some
thing wrong about the law or else
the Dover man must have seen the
deer doing damage at long range.
Probably the court knew the facts.
