With recollections of the speed, or leant of speed, of railway construction in New Zealand, it is more, than interest* ing to hear from Trooper P-. W. Burgess, of Eongotea. but now on active service in Egypt, how expeditiously military railways are pushed on the Canal war area. He says the authorities are credited with putting down from one to one and a half miles per day. “Of course,” he adds, “I \yon’t say how many niggers are employed on it, but they put one in mind of a ..lot of bees. They use basket.) to build up the line with, aud it is marvellous the way they push along the construction. There is no such thing as pick and shovel work; it is nearly all soft sand, but it is a good piece of work to be able to put the line down in tin time they do. Of course the engineering is all done by our own engineers.”
