As an evidence of the invasion of
foreign markets by the manufac
turers of the United States, the
Baldwin locomotive works cf Phila
delphia have received within two
weeksorders for fiftyinine locomo
tives of various types, which will
involve an expenditure of about
$600,000. These are the largest
foreign orders that the Baldwin
company has ever had cn its books
at one time- Ten passenger and
12 freight locomotives are ordered I y
the Rassran government for the
street railway of Finland ; sixteen
freight and eight passenger by the
Central railway of Brazil; ten
freight engines by the Grand Trunk
railway of .Canada ; one fast passen
ger locomotive by the government i
railway of Norway, and one ot the
Penoles company of Mexico. The
largest single order ever,;receiyed
from abroad by the Baldwin com
pany was forty-four locomotives
from the government of Japan,

Tne Wonder Must Go.
The Chicago News says there is a
rock in San Francisco Bay that is
one of the many nights at the Golden
Gate. It piojects above the water,
and the lashing of the waters upon
it for ages has worn the softer cen
tral part through, forming a natural
arch through which small boats may
pass. This wonder "and source "of
admiration is soon to be drilled and
blown away to facilitate the passage
of vessels and to' greatly lessen the
dangers of navigators.
