England’s Marine.

A very interesting exhibit in the transportation department of the world’s fair will be made by the steamship and railway companies of England. The collection of models of battleships, yachts, cruisers, steamers and merchant vessels will be more complete than was ever before exhibited. The London & Northwestern railway will send over a complete train of cars headed by a great compound locomotive named “Great Britain.” This will afford an opportunity to compare the English compartment cars and sleepers with American coaches. The Great Western railway will exhibit the antiquated locomotive “Lord of the Isles,” one of the first used on that road. Several of the railways will show their signaling systems. According to ancient tradition Moses wrote the book of Job at the age of 70.
