details in the picture of Peru's

Meigg's Central Railway, from Cal
loa to a point in the Cordilleras,
about three miles above sea level,

than mile long, 81 bridges-several
Of which hang high up above gloomy
ravines. like that remarkable one
over the Verrugas ravine, 800 feet
high and SIS feet long, it's central
span being 2S5 feet in length, and
resting on vertical towers 175 feet

Chaupichea, $50 feet long, and 200
feet above the bottom of the gorge
This line, which cost E5.000,000 to
build, is 240 miles in length.
Meiggs also was the originator of
the Southern Railway of Peru. But
these two systems. monumental as
they are, and of the greatest i'm

and are the mere beginning of that
plan of those whose eyes are upon
the future, and which will embrace

the Central railhead at PampaS and
the Southern railhead at Cuzco there

Nevertheless, to Meiggs' enterprise
in constructing them the country
owes its present degree of advance

The Dying Year

Another year goes down the track
to join the million years that died !;
another crick is in my back, an
other stitch is in my side; each pass
ing year gets in its whack,. and
takes some ginger from my stride.
Each year I'm closer to the end of
this excursion we call life; my back
is creaking when | bend, each hinge
is like a rusty knife; and yet /
cheerily pretend / am not injured by
the strife. l say that I'm as good
as new, laugh to scorn all talk of
dread, while putting back, with
LIQUID glue, the hair that's falling
from my head, while feeling aches in
every thew, and infammations green
and red The passing years may
leave me bent and make my once
warm blood run cold, may in my
vigor make a dent, and whisper of
the moss and mold, but they can't
bluff me worth a cent, or make me
that I am old. I've seen so many
wornout years go limping tombward,
stark and bare. I've seen them laid
upon their biers. and thought !, too,
might soon be there; but though !
have some broken gears, l still am
right side up with care. My differ
entails on the blink, my cylinders
don't always hit, my nerves are
tangled in kink, and now and then
throw fit, but years are foolish
il they think that they can make
me fade or quit.
