The Greatest city in the World.
DIR. F. b. ROBINSON.


London is the greatest city the
world ever saw. 1t covers 700
square miles and contains 100000
people. Almost 100000 of these
are foreigners from every nation on
earth. More Roman Catholics live
in it than Rome itself, more Irish
than Dublin. 1t has a birth in it
every FIVE minutes, a funeral every
eight minutes. tits one of the most
complicated Of cities and has some
5000 miles of streets and alleys.
There are in London $4,000 police
men, $1,000 cabmen and $1,000 per
sons belonging to the postofice. Ii
has 400 weekly and daily newspa-
pers. Gaslight costs it S3,Oo0,0oo a
wear. Statistics show that annually
i25 persons are killed, 1000 injured
by vehicles in the street. One can
say it is more dangerous to walk the
streets of London than to travel
by railway or cross the At
lantic. The average increase of
London annually is 40 miles of
streets, 10000 new houses and co.
900 prisons. Some writers say that
London was founded 5000 years
ago. With such figures a mental
picture may be drawn of London's
busy world-an intensely active,
cosmopolitan metropolis. A great
contrast lies between the rival cities
Of London and Berlin in the method
Of the laboring classes. Thousands
of people in Berlin and vicinity
work slowly seven days a week and
even then do not finish their task.
He spreads his energies without a
day Of recreation. London shows,
sharply, another state Of existence.

THERE is no subject that deserves
more serious attention and receives
less than the highways. While the
railroad is the great thoroughfare,
the public roads leading from each
farm to the station is not a whit less
important and ought to receive
prompt attention. The condition of
the highways affects the cash value
of every farm. Take roads with
mud holes in low places in which
teams will nearly mire, brings the
whole country under condemnation.
There is no section that ought to
have better roads than this where so
many persons have seen how the
solid roads of Europe are made. A
little work well done each year
would soon put our roads in good
shape, while trifling attention will
leave them unimproved for genera
tions. Do, for the sake of man and
beast, do better work on the roads.
