Chicago Inter-Ocean: .- -4 The surveys of the Pan-American railway, made by a special federal commission,; are at last receiving care ful attention not only in the United States but in Mexico and Central and South America. A ; few years ago the proposition to , construct a railway from New York city, by way ot Mex ico and Central America through the entire length, of South America was regarded a chimerical: but since Rus sia has pushed her Siberian railway . T" - . 1 . 1 ' arross vxsia to i on Annur, ana unic the I ape to Cairo railway has become a definite project in Africa, the Pan Amo'rican, scheme has been discussed jrum the viewpoint of the practical taihvay man and, the American trader. The engineering difficulties are -great, but. according to the engineers' re lort, not greater than those already! overcome in South America and in our own Rocky i mountain region. The length of the proposed railway from New York city to Buenos Ayres will be 10,221. miles, and it is estimated that it willi cost $200,000,000 to finish and equip the line. The railways; al ready built which may be made a part ..f cvdom uit! moaMire' ..12 miles. The line from New York to he Mexi-. can frontier ; is already duiu, ana meas ures 2.094 miles. Of the line in Mexi co 1, 183 miles are built, and 461 miles are to be f constructed. In . 'Central America 2rri miles of the railroad, have been built and 829 miles are to be con structed. ' In South America hicither Colombia nor EciiadOr has any rail way that can be utilized as part of the system. There will have to be built 1354 iiilcs 6f railway, in Colombia and f.S in1 Ecuador. Peril has 151 miles of' the. railway' built and 1.633.. to be contracted.? Bolivia has 195 miles of railway that can be utilized, with 392 miles to' be constructed. Argentina has )yt miles of the railway built, and will have to construct only 125 miles. Of the whole railway 3,73$ miles will lw in North America, 1,039 in Central America, and J5.444 miles m South America. ! ,. . , The main l:ne of the Canadian 1 a cific railway from i Quebec to lort Moody on the Pacific ocean is:f 3.023 miles in length. This was constructed for $f.ooo.ooa The length .of . the Northern Pacific railroad from Ash land. Wis., or Duluth. Minn., to beat tie or to Portland, Or, is 2,137 miles. The distancp from i New ork to San Francisco by -way of the Union 1 a cific is 3.35 miles. The distance from Cairo to Cape Town to be covered by the 'proposed African railway is 0.000 miles. i " - ' , ' It is evident that a railway connect ing North and South America would develop trade which has not been tor.clred or i influenced by, ocean com merce! It is evident also that, what ever we mav do to enlarge our,;ocean trader we shall not be able to develop or control the great interior trade, ot A merica tinless the Pan-American railway be built. - s Care of House Tlants.

The farmers all over tha country count amongst their heaviest expenses to run the farm, the lumber till. All are undoubtedly Interested to karn of a medium to reduce the same at least to half its former cost. This medium Is Carbolineum Avenarioua, a wood preserving paint based on 25 years' ex perience. Many are of the opinion that paint, tar and linseed oil will preserve the wood against rot and decay. These coatings only form an air-tight cover, but do not; destroy the albuminum parts of the wood, which always start the rot. The coatings with above men tioned materials prevent the evapora tion of the wood and, the consequence la dry rot. Carbollneum Avenarius, on the contrary, penetrates deeply Into the wood and destroys 'all present de, cay matters. The Carbollneum Avena rius is applied with a brush and im parts, a nice nut brown color to the wood. It is used on the farm for paint ing barns, granaries,; shingles, silos posts, bridges, chicken coops, etc.,, and all woodwork above and below the ground. Carbollneum. Avenarius is al so tha moat radical remedy against chicken lice. If you want plenty of eggs and healthy chicken., the chick ens must be free from lice and mi tea Carboiineunv Avenarius will keep your henhouse free from this plague. One coat applied to the l.iside of the chick en coop will keep it clean from vermin. Kerosenlng and whitewashing. w"hlch has to be repeated- every month, is done away with and expenses for sul phur and Insect powder are saved.
