According to the Iron Age, the longest straight reach of railway in the world Is on the new Argentine Pacific Kailway, from Buenos Ayres to the foot of the Andes, hor a distance of 211 miles the Ime is laid without a curve. The level nature or the country will be evident from the fact that there is neither a cutting nor an embankment which is deeper or higher than one yard. The entire absence of wood on the plain, aotoss which the western end of the road passos, has led to the extensive nse of metallic sleepers. Operations have already been begun on the mountain section of the road, which is to cross the Andes, and then open up communication with the Chilian line. On January 4th, 1809, the total number of codfish in Billingsgate did not exceed four, and these were immediately sold to a fishmonger for 14 guineas. Salmon, which was equally scarce, realised on the Bame day a guinea a pound.
