During the year Cl 6 miles of line were opened to truffle, bringing the total mileage open up to 3(1,570 miles. There were 043 miles of line sanctioned during the year. Vp to the end of March, 1909, the mileages were: Lines open. 30.8U9; lines under construction or sanctioued. 2.992. The actual outlay (including premia for the purchase of companies' lines) from the commencement on all lines, open and under construction, amounted at the close of 1908 to Its. 42.007 lakhs ( C 280,000,000 1. The sum of 1 0 oii(i,o, )u has becii provided for expenditure for 311910. The financial result of the wnrklrg of the state railways for the year was a net loss to lie state of 23.304 lakhs of rupees ( Ll..'.'i;:,0u0), after meeting, in addition to the expenses of working, all charges for interest on capital outlay by the state, and on capital raised by companies, and also the annuity payments for railways purchased by the state, including both interest and the portion that represents redemption of capital. An appendix to the report states that the paralysis In trade, the total failure of all the wheat export trade from famine, and the rise in the price of coal are among the principal causes of the loss. It Is added: The results of working of the year will have a retarding effect on the steady progress that was being made in bringing the railways of India to a higher state of efficiency. 40-to- n WORK And Therein One Should Find the Contentment That le Chief Part of Life.

Instead of 40 and n cars the average capacity in France and Belgium is ten and fifteen tons, and there are a few cars In Germany carrying as much as 20 tons. The Germans say that large cars would force many manufacturers to readjust their plants, whose loading and unloading facilities are adapted to the smaller cars. By keeping the cars down to the level of the small shipper they are hampering the enterprising and progressive producers. Small cars, however, keep up transportation charges, GROWTH OF THE RAILROADS for a car can be hauled at a cost not greatly In excess of that of Enormous Increase in Paesenger and car.
