In spite of its antiquity, Carlisle is a thoroughly luodern town in its appearance and facilities. Jlany fine new streets and buildings have been recently constructed, and the city has gradually come into possession of all the quasi-public works. It owns its water and gas works, and since 1899 has operated an elecfrie-light plant. Its markets and slaughter-houses are a profit- able source of municipal revenue, and it main- tains a library, a museum, and technical schools. It sends one member to Parliament. Seven rail- way lines enter Carlisle, which is connected by rail with the port of Silloth, 20 miles distant, where an extensive dock has been constructed on the Solway. The chief industries are the manufac- ture of cottons and calicoes, iron-works, and dye- ing establishments. The salmon-fishing in the Eden is also of some importance. The United States has a resident consular agent. Population, in 1851, 26,310; in 1891, 39,200: in 1901, 45,.500. Carlisle was a Roman station, iinder the name of Luguvalhun. It was the seat of the ancient kings of Cumbria, and bore the British name of Caer Luel. It was frequently ravaged by the Picts and Scots, and about 875 it was destroyed by the Danes, after which it remained desolate for 200 years. Thence, to the imion of England and Scotland, it was closely connected with the border wars, and underwent many sieges. Dur- ing the Civil War it declared for King Charles, and suffered severely at the hands of the Parlia- mentarians. Carlisle, in 1745, surrendered to the Pretender. The Duke of Cumberland after- wards took the city, and punished the leaders with death. The Carlisle tables of mortality, based on the deaths which occurred in Carlisle, 1779-87, were drawn up by Dr. Heysham, and have been ever since much used as a basis for life-insurance policies.
