The Snate Committee on Fisheries recently called oh the Fish Commissioner fr some information with reference to this subject, and inquired especially how the menhaden compares with the common herring in the matter of reproduction, and also how long the herring fisheries have licen procuted in Kurope, the number taken, and the effect of the numerous fishers in the European waters upon the auply of this pellicular fish. The Commissioner replied that the reproductive Jwer8 of the menhaden seem to far exceed that of the herring, end in commenting upon the fact that the enormous numbers of herring taken in European water did not seem to re duce the supply, said: "The herring fish ery ia'vcnrried on during the spawning scaon.v On th coat of Norway the lictring fihry has len prosecuted during a jriod t.f fully I.tVX) vears.

The worlds then saw the com mencement of a most gigantic eoterprUe; one that has extended to every civilised and to almost every uncivilised country on the globe, and which has bee sine the greatest of ail eaterprieee and industries, and whose magnitude ' is greater thaa any other single interest ia the world. This Stockton and Darliogton IloaJ was a single track affair, thirty-eight miles in length, and the greeted speed attained was twenty miles an hour. Four years after opening of this road the first Ihae was opened for general traffic in the United States, August 9, 182i, on the Mohawk and Hudson lUil red. The first locomotive uvd on thi; line, and consequently the first that ever turned a wheel ia the Western Hemi sphere, wee the "Stourbridge Lioo," im ported from 8tourbride, Englsnd.'by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company in May, 1829. The second railroad 'jn America upon which a locomotive was ever run was the Charleston and Hamburg' of .South Carolina, which also had the honor of being the first regularly operated pss eager road in this countrry. and th. first to adopt the locomotive as a definite motive power. The engine used on this road was the "Hest Friend," the first machine of the kind constructed in this country, and waa built in West Point Foundry. It made Hs'jrial trip in No vember, 1830. I At the beginning of j the present year 166, 817 miles of railway were in oper ation in the United States. It would be difficult, no doubt, to imagine a perfectly straight line of rail for the entire distance from New York to U-fctoo. but such a railway with such a straight stretch does, Jiowerer, actually eiist in the New Argentine Pacific lUil way from Buenos Ayrea to the foot of the Andes. For a distance of 21 1 tuilea the line is laid without a curve. The level nature of the country will y evi dent from the fact that there is neither a cutting nor an embankment dt-ecr or higher than three feet. This is the longest straight stretch of railway iu the world. Another wonderful piece of railway in South America is on, the Calao, Lima and Croya line, running fron Atepiipe, Peru, toL. Pat, Bolivia. ThN ia a rail way in the clouds, for it reacha a point 14.666 feet, or nearly three mil elve the level of the sea. "(The whittle of a locomotive is heard at no higher iot on the globe.

The railwafs of th Andei exhibit some of Jhe mt lematkab! re sults of engineering skill which the world contain. i The new railway the llricnzer Roth hornbahn which waa begun Octotr 1, 1830, sod has jut been, completed and opened, is the highest railway in the Alps, and also In all Europe.
