Ono careless platelayer among nearly 1,100 who look after the line between Jnglttiul'n and Scntland'n capital may Inlay the train by his failure to screw ip u fish bolt. The wlrolo train may w brought to a standstill by a greaser laving allowed pinch ot dirt to get. Into one of the many grease boxes. As may bo Imagined , only the moat rigid discipline can run a HO-mlle-an * iour train to time The taunt Is often hurled at llrlt ish railways that they are expensive. Kronch and Gorman fares arc held up as contrasts to bo copied. The pub lic forgets that In llrltaln a reason iblo amount of luggage Is carried free ; abroad , none. It falls to re ncmber that most foreign railways belong long to the government , while British- ones are forced to pay from two lo five per cent , of all tholr earnings Into the national exchequer. ABANDONED FARM PROJECT Eastern Railroad Company Meeting with Success In a New Enterprise. "Tho New York , New ilaveu & Hurt- ford Is ut present engaged In a very In teresting experiment , " writes Urough- ton llrandenburg , In the Technical World Magazine , "which , strictly spoak- lug , la hardly such any longer , aa iti efforts have been crowned with uucccsa fioui the beginning. The road covern the lower half of Now England wituaii astounding network uC lines ; and as a result of the opening of the richer lamli of the west and south , the men who had been tolling on the Impoverished Now England farms , small and stony , forsook seek them , took their families and led New England. The price of land de clined until ihciocamotobomnny farms that could be bought for a dollar an acre and at last a great number that were en tirely abandoned. By reason of the road carrying to and fro Italians who had landed In New York and wished to go to the cotton mills of Lowell or the shoo shops of Lynn , etc. , and Italians who had hinded In Boston and wished to go to Now York , the news of these aban doned farms cainu to bo noised about among the Italians , and they began to take them up. The men would work In the nearest factory , and the women anil children cultivate the ground. Tha Italian Is a born Irrlgutor ; and now , all along the New Haven road , can bo seen garden-like estates that were once aban doned by their previous owners. Thread road WUH quick to see the trend of the Italians , and Is bent on encouraging It. It In probable that a combined agricul tural ami Industrial population of Ital ians , Poles and Portuguese , aggregating millions in number , will be gained to thu territory traversed by the road.
