A New York business man, of great ex
perience in road matters, writes from Lon
don, under date of January 20, naming
some OF the things he has seen which he
likes
''Not the least is their extensive system
of underground railways. It is perfectly
wondtr:ul how they jerk the people about,
at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour,
from one end of the town to another, and
across and around-stopping about once
every half mile, at some prominent corner,
at station from which you emerge to the
upper air, and find yourself somewhere
near where you want to be, and miles from
where you were half or three quarters of
an hour ago. These trains run each way,
being double tracks, about every ten min
utes, and morning and evening they often
consist Of seven or eight cars, holding thir-
ty or forty people each. The carsl are
lighted with gas-not the tunnels, except
at stations-so that you can read your pa
pers; there is no smell of smoke or sense
of suffocation. How they can ventilate
them so well can hardly see.''
