HAS IMMENSE RAILROAD JOB American Engineer at Work on One of the Biggest Lines That Has Been Built. With $10,000,000 at his command, Alfred W. McCunc, an American, is at work on one of the biggest railroad jobs on record. The line will extend from tbo top of the Andes to the westcyn limit of navigation on the Amazon and its tributary. the TTnnvli n Hiuhmrn nf 9.70 miles, and it is stipulated that it must be completed by the opening of the*Panama canal. Connecting with the rai'road which Henry Meigs built forty years ago from the Pacific at Callao, one hundred miles west to a pass over the Andes, the new line will furnish the last link in the first rail-ar\d-water route across equatorial America, and will join the two sections of Peru now separated by the high mountain range. With the complete system in operation, products now in transit for months can be transported in four days. A large part of the rul>l?or from the Putomayo district now freighted down streams to Iquitos, 2,300 miles from I he mouth of the Amazon, and loaded on steamers for North America and Europe, will ho taken bv rail to ChIIho, on the Pacific, and thence by steamer through the Panama canal.

Who can deny that this is preeminently the age of combinations qnd societies?" There is a society, with a capital S, for every purpose under the heaven. Yes, verily, a society to. mourn end a society for peace, a society for noise and a soci- j ety for the suppression of noise, a society for giving and, nt last, a society for the preventing of giving. Is it not almost time to pause in our mad career of organization and j to ask ourselves, What next? asks , a correspondent of the Yew York Times. Whither and wherefore? Forsooth, can we not suppress superfluous noises without making so much noise about it? And is it absolutely necessary to pay useless dues in order to prevent uselrss givings? Fellow sufferers, let us be up and doing! There is but"one way out of this intolerable situation. Perhaps you have guessed it nlready. I^et us organize one more society. This is to be the greatest, most farreaching and final achievement of this age of marvelous achievements. I jet us form a society for the prevention and suppression of useless societies. | Henceforth let Spasus be the great battlecry of humanity! Then shall i ! we live happily forever after. Selabi!
