The prices for travel, as well as for sleeping-berths, were much higher on these lines, owned by the government, than on any of our main trunk-lines in America, which are controlled by private corporations, and the accommodations were never of a high order, and sometimes intolerable.

If Denmark can by degrees raise the requisite capital, both of these trunk-lines will probably be constructed. Norway has just commenced its railway enterprises.

When one bears in mind the fact that this road is the main artery connecting one hundred and twenty millions of people at one end with over two hundred millions at the other, this seems amazing; but still more so when one considers that in the United States, with a population of, say, eighty millions in all, we have five great trunk-lines across the continent, each running large express-trains several times a day.

But if P. P. be made stationary at the lower end of the section under treatment, and we manipulate over the parts with the N. P., the current strikes from P. P., across the nerve branches and comes out at their surface extremities wherever the negative electrode moves so reaching but indirectly and imperfectly the trunk-lines and their centers. Take the B D Faradaic current moderate strength.

Primarily, in all state scheming at Springfield, Senator Southack was supposed to represent the C. W. I., one of the great trunk-lines traversing the state, and incidentally connecting Chicago with the South, West, and East. This road, having a large local mileage and being anxious to extend its franchises in Chicago and elsewhere, was deep in state politics.

Very well; all continental trunk-lines have tunnels here and there. But these tunnels are black with only temporary gloom. It is only the short roads that do not run through the mountains. Tunnels flashes of darkness are certain to those who travel far. Think of this you who have troubles, difficulties, discouragements.
