A PRINCE AS A RAILWAY GUARD.
Prince Chilkow, the Minister for Railways in Russia, commenced his career by making a tour of the worid in order to take note of all fhe latest inventions, and especially to study the inner working and control of foreign railways. He first took a position as an ordinary mechanic on the locomotive works at Liverpool, and after serving some years as a labourer was raised to the post of railway guard, and afterwards stationmaster at a small suburban station. When he returned to Russia he again worked his way from mechanic to stationmaster, and after working for several years in the latter capacity on the TransCaspian and Varsovie systems, he was made Inspector-General, and, finally. Minister of Railways.
