THE RAILROADS UF THE WORLD.

twe eara the

A New York paper, of late date, contains an elaburste, carefully compiled and highly in- teresiing table, showing the lenzth of railroads constructed and ia operation at the close of 1366, in every country in which they have been jatreduced, and their reiation to the extent aid! pepulation of the countries respectively. Frei these statistica we gather the fect that Eurepe has 50,117 miles of railway, North sud South) America, combined, 40,866, while Asia can! beast of but 3,660 miles. In the United States | there are 36,896 miles, which is about 38 per) eent. of the whole mileage of railroads in the! world. In Great Britain aad Ireland there are 13,286, in France 3.982, and in Prussia, 5,794 miles. The return in question shows that in the United States there ave eizhty-one square miles of territory to each mile of rai way, and vne mile of railway to each 1.000 of the popu- lution. In Great Britain and Ireland the pro- portion is nine miles of area to one of railroad, aud one mile of read to each 2,189 of popula: | tion. In France the ratio is twenty-four miles | te one of railroad, and 4,172 of population to| one mile of road. Belgium, with ove mile of | railroad to every seveu sniles of territory, has a! more thorough network of railroads than any} ether country, while Russia, with a territory | twelve times the extent of the Bvitish Isle, has! only one-fifth the length of road. It appears! that Ewrope has one mile of railway to each seventy-one miles of territory, and 5,686 of pepulation. In the whole of North America} there is to each mile of road 192 miles of ter-| ritory and 1,309 population. These fi zures are strikingly suyzestive of the material development | aad advancement of railway enterprise through. | out the world, and indicate quite conclusively the general state of civilization existing in the | several countries traversed by the iron horse. | *~When the line of railway from Windsor to Aanapolis, now in course of construction, shall | have been completed, and the Instercolonial | built, we need not shrink from a comparison with any country in the wor'd of like compara. | tive population, so far as railroad enterprise is) concerned.

canene ahaa iii MEMPHIs IN DANGER.

Nashville and Memphis papers have broached | the startling theory that Memphis is lisble at any | moment te “ cave in" to a watery abyss beneath | it. The ides is that the mighty current of the. Missiesippi river has undermined the foundations | of the city, and varions cireumstanees are cited

te eubstantiate the proposition. The river shore

argued that the steamers which are always lying |

in front of the city preserve the earth at the water's edge, bet that the great body of the mighty tide of waters, forty and fifty tect below, rashes onward in its auresisted course rending away the earth. Huw far the stream passes beweath the city there is, of course, ne meanea of ascertaining. The explosion of tonpedves, forty or fifty feet below the river's eurface, aliook every building west of the bayou. Beyond (he bayou the sheck was unheeded. Similar subterranean changes are frequent on the Mississippi, as for jastanee, save the Memphis Bulletin :—

* Many years ago a saw will was at work in the swainpe of Arkansas, twenty miles faci the Mississippi. The owner awoke one bright morn- ing to find bie well dry, in which the day before there wae water three or four feet deep.

Mewphie. ‘It is plain enough,’ he ead, ‘the| river ta lower than for years past, and your well and pond have emptied theme ives inte the great sewer of the continent.” The Mississippi not! only overflows but underfluwe ali the broad vailry | through which it passes. ite chaune!, however | bread and deep, could not contain all the rains! that fail and streame that come down from the mountains, territeries and States of America.

A city paper tells us how a planter within a week, deposited five thousand dollars’ worth of aupplies on the river bank some- where in Atkhansaas, He bad not gouwe hall a mile when the eountry behind Lim deappeared with all bis stores.
