Tine Greatest City in the World.
n. Q. Tmes-Democrat,

London, England, is the greatest
city the world ever saw. 1t covers
within the Is miles radius of Charing
Cross Strand, 700 square miles. 1t
numbers within these boundaries
5000, 600 Of inhabitants 1t comprises
over 1900, 600 of foreigners from
every quarter of the globe. It con
tains more Roman Catholics than
Rome itself; more Jews than the
whole Of Palestine; more Irish than
Dublin; more Scotch than Edinburgh;
more Welsh than Cardiff; more
country raised people than the cOun
ties Of Devon, Warwickshire, and
Durham combined. Has birth in it
every five minutes; has death in it
every eight minutes; has seven acct
dents every day in its S, Gee miles OF
streets; has on an average 40 miles Of
streets opened and Is, 900 new houses
built in every year. In 1888 there
were added % 10 new houses to the
vast aggregate of dwellings which is
called the metropolis, thus forming
25S new streets and one new square,
covering a distance 81 sc miles and 81
yards 1t is difficult to form any
mental picture from these figures.
Brighton, the queen of watering
places, 1881 had 20,379 inhabited
houses, so that London IN 1888 added
to itself town bigger than Brighton.
1t would require two CambridgeS, or
Oxfords, or Baths to represent the ad
Gition made to London IN a single
year. London has 10000 persons
annually added (by BIRTH to its pop
ulati&n; has over 1000 ships and
10000 sailors in its port every day;
has as many beer shops and gin pal
aces as would, if placed side by side
stretch from Barring Cross to Ports
mouth, a distance Of IS miles; has S.
coo drunkards annually brought be-
fore its magistrates; has 20 miles of
open shops every Sunday has influ
ence with all parts of the world rep
resented by yearly delivery ia its
postal districts of 29S, 900, 900 let
tiers. Eight hundred and fifty
trains pass Chaplain Junction
every day, and the transportation
(under ground railroad runs 1911
trains every day. The London omni-
bus company have over 700 buses,
which carry sc, 900, 600 passengers an
n1ally. 1t is more dangerous to walk
the streets Of London than to travel by
railroad or TO cross the Atlantic from
New Orleans to LIVERPOOL. Last year
$50 persons were killed and 1900 in
jured by vehicles in the streets. There
are in London Is, goo police, Is COG
cabmen, GOO persons connected
with the postoffice. The cost of gas
for lighting Lond.a annually IS s.,
coo, 000. London has 400 daily and
weekly newspapers. Last year there
were nearly 600 fires. The ancient
and famous city OF London was first
founded by Brute, the Trogan, in the
year of the world 2732, so that since
the first building it is 1905 years old
The drainage system of London is
superb, and the death rate very low.

4 DnkOta frairie Fire.

An extensive and destructive pralrle
fire occurred in the vicinity of For
man, in Sargent county, ID T. The
Chronicle says: Last sunday even
ing, as the sun was sinking in the
western horzon, a fire was noticed
encircling this p,acy, and at no great
er distance than twenty miles to the
north aud west. The scene that inn
mediately followed was too horrible
to be thought lightly Of. The whole
heavens seemed as one mass of Seeth
ing, Kissing fire. The roar that ac-
c0mpanied the flames as they darted
upward was enough to startle the
pioneer and completely shatter the
bold fearless tenderfoot A cry was
raised, and in q few minutes the citi-
zans had turned out en- masse with
wet bags and coal oil torches, aud
going to the north and northwest
limits of the Town along the wagon
trail leading west, Immediately piled
the torches. Tn. grass went off like
powder, burning a back fire about
twenty feet wide in an instant. reach
ing nearly half mile Then, TO
meet the creeping flames approach
ing from the north, q double back
fire was started by the torch
men, and had Just been completed
when the roar of the flames was heard
ascending the hill-only in a moment
to flash in the tall grass and meet the
back-f with the swish peculiar to
the conclusion following the discharge
of a cannon. The fire to the west was
then about two miles distant, but
nearing at the rata of about eighteen
miles an hour, and, VIXEN the north
fire had been safely met, all hands
went to the southwest trail, running
to about twenty yards north of the
school house, and started back FIRE
on the north side Of the trail, and
then, bringing the fire over the trail,
it was I'D TO burn around the south
side of the school house, being watch
ed by eight or ten to prevent the fire
spreading to the building. At one
time 1t seemed as though the blaze
would get the best Of them, bit wet
sacks were applied, aud the flames
subdued. Other parties were sent in
different directions and succ eoded in

The Canal Routes.

The Nicaragua canal route Is longer
than the Panama frsm OCEAN to ocean,
but both the lake and rivers are util-
lied. The climate is much more
favorable, and the country along the
chief objection raised at the Inter
national Canal Congress was based
upon tie system of lockage. The or
iginal plan favored by Admiral Am
mes and Captain Phelps involved the
construction OF four dams having an
aggregate height Of 291 feet and an
aggregate length OF /, 800 yards; and
also of twenty locks OF 2n average
lift of something over ten feet. Lake
Nicaragua, when full, is 1917 fee:
above the oczan levels. I. has a sur
face drainage of 8, $50 square miles,
and furnishes an outflow Of water in
to the San Juan river entirely ade-
quate for the lockagc of vessels pass
ing through the canal The cost Of
of this waterway has been variously
estimated. Engineer Menocal allow
ed S21, $50. III for the western dlvis-
ion, distance Is miles; S7l5, SIS for
the middle or lake division. distance
SCI miles; SIS, 020, GA for the eastern
division, distance 1851 miles, and IS,
100, 369 for harbor Improvements; the
total estimate for the 1S1 26 miles
being $50, 81, us. It seems to be
generally conceded that if this work
were undertaken as a Government
enterprise the cost would not fall be
low 800, 600, coo, and might even ex-
coed It.

A Story of the Street.
Chicago Herald.

Poking around in dark alley above
which the greet black buildings tow
cred high, patrolman found a boy
asleep in barrel The night was vet
and chilly, and the child, wAo was not
more than 7, and whose grimy and
bony little limbs could plainly be seen
through the rents in his clothing, had
wrapped an old sack of some kind
about his shoulders. At the further
end of the alley were brilliant lights,
which, rejecting on the stream of
water tricklIng over the granite blocks
in the center of the narrow thorough
fare, gave it the appearance # a silver
rivulet
The officers lantern was thrown full
on the lad and brought his wretched-
ness into strong relief. Once the man
stepped aside as If to leave the boy,
but turning again, his rough face full
of kindly sympathy, he bent over the
little form and spoke 10 tae sleeper
kindly.
God help the child" s1id the Off
Ger under his breath, his thoughts
wandering off to his own little ones.
Come, Johnny, this is no place for
you Come with me and sleep"
The boy made no move and the Of
fcer hit the barrel with his CLUB, the
blow echojng up and down the alley
with resounding crash. The child
was on his feet in an instant, with a
brick in each of his bony hands.
Yer amt got no war'nt, Mister
Cop, aud yer know it. Don't yer pat
yer iluke on me, or I'll smash - out
of you"
Go to bed, Johnny, go to bed, "
observed the officer as he resumed his
measured tread, whistling a little as
he went. and then, when out of hear
ing and looking back in the grim
recess where dark little figure could
still be seen, God help the child, all

Alien Landowners.
New York Herald.

The theory IF our land laws is that
the soil is to be owned by those who
will cultivate it. 1t is not to be
stalked off in immense parcels by
non PRESIDENT holders who regard it as
a speculation and make no effort to
utilize its productiveness. The pur
pose of the law has been defeated by
fraudulent practices. and immense
holdings have passed into the hands
of foreign capitalists. A western
journal recently printed a partial list
of suca holdings. which ranged from
1000 acres to 5000 acres, and ag-
gregated nearly 81, OO0,0 acres. In
some cases these lands were used as
cattle ranches, in others they remain
ed iile. All belonged to alien hold
ers. The house committee on public
lands yesterday took action in this
matter, and important results may
follow. For it will report favorably
a bill providing that no alien shall
acquire title to or own lands within
the United States. 1t will provide,
however. that such foreign-born per-
sons as have legally declared their
intention to become citizens shall be
eligible to acquire land.
