SUMMARY OF THE WORLD'S RAILWAYS AND RATIO OF MILEAGE TO AREA AND POPULATION IN EACH COUNTRY IN 1910.

RELATION OF RAILWAYS TO AREA AND POPULATION (See page 241.) Although this table is favored by railway statisticians in comparing railway conditions relatively to area and population, it is doubtful whether it conveys an adequate impression of the exceptionally favorable transportation facilities enjoyed by the inhabitants of this continent, and especialy those of the United States and Canada. For instance, the figures mean that the United States with 800,000 square miles less territory and not one-quarter the population, has 36.000 more miles of railway than all Europe, while Canada, having a territory in which the United Kingdom could be lost thirty times, and only one-sixth the population, has actually more railway mileage than the parent kingdom.
