RAILROAD CENSUS FIGURES
Some Facts Gleaned in a World
Transportation Survey
The recent census of the rail
roads of the world upon which a
report has just been made pub
lic shows that there are 625698
miles of railways in the entire
world This does not include
street railways trolley lines and
other light structures The mile
age of each continent is given as
follows North America 277015
Europe 201901 Asia 61800
South America 42328 Africa
20S09 and Australia 18819
According to these figures 51
per cent of the mileage is in the
new world North America alone
has 10000 miles more than Eur
ope and Asia combined which lat
ter two have approximately 1
250000000 population as against
115000000 in North America
More than half the railroads of
the world have been built since
1SS6 an average of 13000 miles
a year
The rate of growth is shown to
have been on the whole compar
atively stable during the latter
years The increase was 11111
miles in 1909 and 62800 for the
four years ending in 1909 Even
these figures do not adequately
show the enormous consumption
of capital for this country of late
years as in Europe much more
has been expended in improving
existing railroads than for addi
tions to mileage
In Africa there is notable act
ivity In the older civilized parts
of the north the additions have
not been great but in the British
South Africa union the recent in
crease in mileage has been 2729
and it now has more railroads
than any two countries on the
continent
In North America Canada and
Mexico have increased their mile
age proportionately more than
the United States but the mile
age in this country already was
so great that a small percentage
made a great amount
In South America the S237
mils added m the last four years
is an increase of 21 per cent Cen
tral America and the West Indies
are reckoned on with South
America Argentine Republic has
more than a third of the railways
of South America Lincoln Jour

The only son and heir of the czar of
Russia Grand Duke Alexis has some
exalted ideas of dignity and is elated
when saluted by the sentries at the
various royal residences It is his habit
to constantly pass and repass them in
order to be received with honors
The czar heard of this conceit of his
son and gave instructions that the
sentries should not be required to sa
lute tire czarevitch and ttiat if he
should inquire the reason he was to
be told that his father had so com-
GUANO DDKC ALEXIS
inanded hence when the czarevitch
made his usual promenade a few days
later he was astonished to iiud he at
tracted no attention
Do you not recognize meV he in
quired Why do you not salute me
as is your duty
His imperial majesty the czar has
given instructions that your highness
is no longer to be saluted returned
the sentry
Oh has he retorted the offended
grand duke Well I like to be sa
luted so you can continue to salute
as usual I shall not say a word
about it to papa and you must not
say anything Then he wont know
about it and I shall receive the salute
that pleases me so much and we shall
be contented all around
