Of .this increase, 519 smuts were in the four Western provivae•. These figures do not include any mileage attaoning to the Grand Trunk Pau'fio, which is ofacially regarded as "nudes ooustrnotion," al- thoagh over 1 000 miles were in actual operation during 1910. It is estimated that 4 500 miles ot railway were under construction on Jane 30 last. During the year $101,816 271 was add- ed to capital 'Lability, briogiug the total nil to $1,410 297.687 of whioh $687,557,- 387 was represented in stooks and $723.- 740,300 in bonds.

The gross earnings for 1910 were $173,956,217--a gain of 828,899,881 over 1909, or 19 9 per pent.,, Operating expen- ses amounted to $130,405,440—an in crease ot $15,805,356 The net earnings were $53,550,777, or 32,3 per oent better than for the preceding year. The gross earnidga were equal to $7,034 per mile, and the net earnings $2,166. An analy- sis ot operating expentee showed that considerable inorease had been made in maintenance of way and equipment; so that the physical upkeep of railways was well maintained.

GRAND TWINE RAILWAY SYSTEM. i .FORTE YErArKING: - Mr. Henniker Heaton Mistaken For Edward the Seventh. Although Mr. Ilonnilcer Heaton, M.P., has announced his approaching retirement from Canterbury, which he has represented for twenty-five years, ]lis agitation for cheaper cable rate; shows that lie is as active its ever fa}. 1 matter postalreform. Th the Irl t l of x country has to thank hila tor the es- tablishment of penny postage through, out the Empire and to the United States, and will one day havo to. thank him for the extension of the system to France. The City of Lon- don conferred its freedom upon bins eleven years ago, and sueeeesive Gov- ernments overnnlents have pressed a K.C.M.G. upon hien. But 1VIr, Heaton has four tunes declined the honer. There in a joke in connection. with. Mr, Hea- ton's eston's friendship with Mr. Marconi which bright bear repetition. When he was .rade a Freeman ot the City of London Mr, Marconi accompanied him, and when the latter's turn came and he received the freedom of Rome he insisted that Mr, Heaton shoulyd return the compliment by going with him to Rome. Some little time before this Sir 13enjamin Stone had photo- graphed them together on the terrace of , the House of Commons, in the costumes of their respective courts. Mr, ivlarconi sent a, copy of this to an Italian newspaper, and the latter pub- lished it on the day Mr, 1Veareoni re- ceived the freedom of Rome over the inscription: "Mr. Marconi and Ring Edward the Seventh," One of Mr. Heaton's most treasured possessions —and he only received it during his election campaign this year—is a let. ter from Mr. Chamberlain witching ]lira success. Lord Desborough has chosen the following extract trona it as an inscription for Air, Heaton's tomb• stone: "It has been given to few men to promote reforms independently, and to see -them adopted in their own lifetime with universal approval." There is an amusing anecdote in con- nection with a Parliamentary chess match which the famous postal re- former got up between Great Britain and America in 1907. It was played ily cable, and at one stage of the game everything pointed to the defeat of the new world players. Realizing this, they wired "You're too good for us; we'll play you at poker !" The dame, liewever, ended in a draw and the offer to play poker has not been ac- cepted. Ireland's Surnames. The impression is general that at least nine out of every ten men in Ire- land are named Pat Murphy, and fax once there is some real ground for the popular impression, for, if you call every person you meet in Ireland "Murphy," you will be right once in every eight times, If the others are not named Murphy, the chances are two in seventeen that they are Kellye. A strong and growing rival of Murphy and IKelly, however, is Smith. In both England and Scotland Snaith is far in the lead, and in Wales beats Jones by a narrow margin. The number of typical English names in Ireland is surprising. Messrs, Baker, Cooper, Long, Small, Turner, etc., are frequently encoun- tered, but, despite this invasion and the equally vigorous attack of Welsh Joneses, there are enough left of the Ahernsland., Riordans, Fagans, and Moyni- hens to keep alive the traditions of the •'-Any Murphy in Ireland, or out of it, can tell you that "Murphy" is a con- cession to the poor, ignorant English, who found difficulty in pronouncing— the saints help them 1—a Simple name like MaoMurrough—the name of the ancient kings of Leinster, of whom Dermot was the last. She Hugged the Weather Van. A rare example of feminine nerve comes from England. Anxious to ob- tain unique photographs for sale in connection with a church, hhiss Lydia Akiens, nineteen, climbed a steeple- jack's ladder to the top of the' spire of St. Mark's Church, Leicester, which is more than 200 feet high. Having reached t e top, Miss Akiens, camera in hand, coolly walked around the narrow, tareprotected staging and snap- shotted some tine views of the town So awe-inspiring was the sight that many of the crowd below walked away, declaring they could wateh her no longer. Finally the intrepid snap- shotter caused tremendous excite- ment among the onlookers when she climbed another ladder and reached the weather vane, on which she rest- ed for some minutes. .Tisa Akiens claims the cllainpienship as woman steeplejack of the world. Austrian Bulls. Here are a. few "bulls" that have peen perpetrated from time to time in the Austro-Hungarian Parliament: "One most important point of the agricultural question is the main. tenance of the breed of horses to which I have the honor to belong." "We are hero for the weal and woe of our constituents." "Gentlemen, consider this question n the light of a dark intim." "The eye of the law weighs ,henviin en our press .legislation." "There, gentlemen, is the eves changing point of which the opposf• tion has made a hobbyhorses' "This taunt is the same old sea ser• pent which for years and. years has been groaning in this assembly."
