Irrctcnlnrlr DItrllntcl Over the Country ami Growlnsr Unevenly. New York 1b the llrat of the states in respect of population, Pennsylvania is (seeotid. Tcxna is the largest of the states, California is the second larg est. Yet neither New York, Pennsyl vania, Texas nor California stands ilrst in respect of railroadi mileage; that distinction belongs 'to Illinois. The railroad inllengq of Illinois exceeds lo G00. The significance of that figure may be understood when it Is known that the railroad mileage of Russia Is only 25,000. Second in the list of states In railroad mileage 1b Pennsylvania. New York comes sixth, Kannns, Iowa and Ohio being ahead of It. Kansas lias a railroad mileage of 8,900; Iowa of B.S0U; Ohio, of 8,700, and New York of 8,200. The railroad mileage of New York, small as it is by comparison with that of some other states, is large wlicn compared with that of some European countries. The milengc of Spnln, a na tion of 10,000,000 people, Is only 7.G00 and that of Portugal Is but 1.C00, though the population is three-quarters as large as that of the Empire state. Montana, with an area of 140, 1)00 square miles, has only 2,700 miles of railroad, while New Jersey, with only 7,800 square miles, has 2,200 miles of railroad. Utah and Minnesota aro almost exactly of the same Bize, and the little difference which exists between, them Is in favor of Utah, but Minneso ta has only 1,300 miles of railroad while Utah has 0,000. Nevada and Ver mont have almost to a mile the same railroad mileage, but Nevada has an area of 110,000 squaro miles and Ver mont an area of only 0,000. The total railroad mileage of Eng land is 14,000, less than that of Illinois and Indiana together, and the total mileage of the United Kingdom, Eng land, Scotland and Ireland (there is a lnrger railroad mileage in Scotland than in Ire-land), is less than that of New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio. The disparity between the states In the mnttcr of railroad building is increas ing, for new lines are being pushed constantly in some sections of the country while, others nre neglected. In Connecticut, for instnncc, the present railroad mileage bus Increased less than 100 In the last 17 years., though in the same period the ruilroad mile age of Florida has Increased from 618 to 3,000. Virginia has doubled it rail road trackage since 1880; so has Ken tucky; but Washington state has In creased Us mileage in the same period from 289 Tillies to 2,890 miles. It Is Bupposeo" popularly that thero has been less railroad development in the south vthnn in many of the northern states, but the contrary is true. From 1880 to 1895 the railroad mileage of the middle Atlantic Btates New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland Increased" CO per cent., and that of the five north central states Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illi nois and Wisconsin 00 per cent. But in the same period the railroad mile age of what are called the Mississippi valley states. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky nnd Tennessee increased 100 per cent., and the rail road mileage, of the South Atlantic states Virginia.North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, West Virginia and) FlOridn increased 120 per cent. The average cost of constructing a mile of railroad is $05,000. N. Y. Suu. HOW TO FIND OUT.

A! II Taylor. PREHISTORIC CANAL BEOS. IiOig rinrlcil Irrigation Syttem In Arizonn Uncovered. A western correspondent furnishes something doubly curious about the engineering resources of the ancient past, and tho contriving abilities and resources in tho west in tho present in dustrial era: "During my last visit to Arizona 1 saw In the Salt river valley a eight that would strike a stranger ns queer. A steam dredging scow, such as Is used in deepening rivers and) harbors for nav igation, was voyuglng slowly and stend ily through a wide strip of arid desert. It was started landward from Saltrivcr, and wn8 excavating ita own channel ahead, the river waters following and floating it as it advanced. But the work done was not, in fact, the. making of a new channel, but the digging out of an old one, the irrigating canal made by a civilized people that lived and flourished and departed before recorded American history began. That there was a tlmo when this wido valley, now being again redeemed to man, was a garden of plen ty, teeming with inhabitants, is shown by the extensive and regular system of broad canals leading from the river, through which water for irrigating was conveyed for centuries. With drifting Band -and earth, these canals still are plainly indicated on tho fuce of tho ground, and so skillfully wero they planned and built that modern engi neering science applied to Irrigation can do no better than retrace their course and restore them. What raeclald out the canals and built the towns whoso ruins are strung along the. val ley is a qi.tsllon. not yet settled by archaeologists. Aztecs or Toltces, or each in their turn, probably tarried here in their centuries and southward to the valley of Mexico, and the ruins may be of an older people than cither of them.?
