Largest Depot In Europe.

‘‘Which is the largest railway station in Europe?” is a question which every newspaper has answered numberless times for Inquisitive readers. From now till further notice the reply must be: That at Leipzig. Travelers who know the Fatherland have always classed the ‘‘Leipziger Bahnhof” as the most dingy and ugly in the country. , For ten years artists and architects put their heads together to make it the acme of beauty and convenience, and now for ten years the builder has been busy. It has a frontage of 350 yards; 26 lines of rail run into it; it will see 400 trains a day; there are 50 clocks to tell the time. The finishing touches will take till 191J5, and by that time nearly $35,000,000 will have been spent on it. —London Chronicle.
