j. S. SYSTEM
EQUALSAS|A'S
ANDEUROPE'S
COMBINED

Not many people are aware that the
railroads OF the United States have
a-total length approximately equal to
those of Europe ard Asia combined.
says the Scientific American in its
current issue. 1t IS estimated that
the railroad tracks of this country, II
strung in a continuous line. would be
sufficient to run a girdle OF steel
eleven times around the earth at the
equator. 1t is easily the biggest Of
all transportation systems.
The writer of the article computes
that the IS 900 locomotives which haul
Uncle Sans freight would. il placed
end to end. all four railroad tracks
each 1856 miles long.
He continues:
THE freight car statistics give us
some remarkable figures. The aver
age length OF a freight car is about
forty feet overall, and IL the cars on
all our railroads were placed end to
end. they would stretch continuously
for 10000 miles. which means that
there are sufficient cars in the United
States today, IL strung out. to make
a. complete circle of the earth along
the latitude OF Philadelphia.
THE amount of freight that is
carried every year is stupendous.
The tonnage last year was 1902
O1S,117 tons. That is a big total,
and in order to visualize its bulk
let US invent some large receptacle
and see how many times it would
have to be filled to measure out
nearly two billion tons of freight.
For a measure we will take Madi-
son square, New York city, which
extends $40 feet by $40 feet from
building to building Assuming that
the average contents for each ton of
feight is nifty cubic feet, we find that
on the basis of nearly 1000 ,0O0, 900
tons or freight per year we would
have to NIL Madison square every
twelve hours of the year to depth
OF 21S feet That is to say, we would
have to keep on. filling Madison square
from the first day of January to the
Last day Of December twice a day in
