Probably every reader is acquainted
with the appearance and location OF the
elevated railroads OF the American metro
polls. What are known rs the Sixth
Avenue, Ninth Avenue and Third Avenue
lines NIL run to South Ferry. The SOUTH
crn terminus OF tho Second Avenue line Is
at Chatham Square, where passengers
going further south change to the Third
Avenue line. The Ninth and Sixth Ave
nue. lines are on tho west side Of tho city;

IMPROVED SERVICE IMrERNTIvELY NEEDED.
The problem Of carrying New York up
and down successfully sin process OF evo-
luton. 1t has not yet been solved. As
was stated in m earlier paragraph. tho
elevated structure is not able to support
the weight Of trains long enough and irc-
q~uently enough to carry people comiorta-
bly, in the busy hours OF the day. Only
one Of the four branches Of the system
will admit OF the use Of heavier trains
than those nov running. This is the Sec
ond Avenue branch, which is capable OF
carrying engines OF thirty tons weight
possibly as high rs thirty.iive tonsSand
Of drawing five or six cars. The greatest
pressure OF traffic is on the Third Avenue
line, and to change the service on the Sec
ond Avenue line as indicated, would not
greatly relieve the crowding Of trains on
tho east side Of the city during certain
hours Of the day, How far the proposed
Introduction Of electric power will relieve
the situation remains to be soon.

The %pleasantest times on the cars are
midday. There is then no crowding and
there is no irritation: The o0icials are not
over-worked or fussy and are on their best
behavior. Then is the time when the
conductor delights to assist in making his
passengers comfortable, by opening or
closing the shades and such attentions.
Graceful women in handsome toilets,
aristocratic children, thoinevitabIc parson,
the country cousin in town for the sights,
with now and and then n business man
from a distance make up the bulk Of the
passengers. The loads are light and every
body has the full enjoyment OF the clean
and handsome cars. Then the full extent
oil the benefit to New York OF its elevated
railroads appears in m exaggerated form
to those who have no experience OF the
drawbacks to its indispensable conven-
fence.

JOHN DORN'S SON.

' III lux a Ou6 IA 0lCoe oOuti Doys
Long island; east and west like wavy
fields of green and brown, the Bellmore
marshes stretched away in unbroken
Loneliness to meet the dim beauty OF
the horizon. The wind had gone down,
,leaving the broad bosom of the water
as still as q mirror upturned on the level
sands. The sun, shining through count
less leagues of haze, cast trcmulous
shadows toward the east. and, rising up
with shaded brows to meet its RAYS.
John Dorm, a CHEEKY fisherman, stood
out in silhouette against the sky. Fast
mingling with the purple and gray of
the lseward rim of sea and sky, a lazy
schooner winged its southwark flight.
and when the dusky distance closed
upon it John Dorm and his weather
beaten old boat alone broke the change
less monotony OF marsh and meadow.
Left high and dry by the receding tide.
the old boat lay bolt upright in the soft
mud. rs taut and trim as though oored
in her moss-grown berth at Bell
more landing. Her sails hung limp
and motionless against her mast, and
abodt her shining deck q brown haired
little girl romped and laughed in child
ishAgiee.
1t was unspeakably lonely out on the
wide-reaching marshes, but as honest
John Dorm shaded his eyes with his
rough. brown hand and gazed seward.
he gAyiy whistled a tune that he had
Learned up in the little white-steepled
meeting-house in Bellmore village. Il
.didn seem lonely or dreary out there,
g. a., L;v e. w,os ~o rS. hl..
above him and the dimpling shadows
before him spoke only of home: the
