The Magnitude OF London.

Few persons, even those who real our
figures, have a definite idea Of the size
of London, England. The city contains
within Its corporate limits Gs7 square
miles, and almost 5000, 900 inhabitants.
There are on the average /, 200 ships and
5000 sailors in its port each day. There
Is birth every four minutes, a dea :.
every SIX minutes, and ON an average Of
eight accidents each day in its streets,
which IN length equal about 8, 900 miles.
Its liquor shops, if placed in a row,
would cover a distanc. of seyenty-tive
miles, and there are about geo, 600
habitual criminals put under arrest each
year. Its pcstofiice delivers within its
district about $50, 900, 900 letters each
year. 1t conta ms more Roman Catholics
than Rome itself, more Jews than the
whole OF Pale tine, more Irish than Dub
lin, and more Scotchmen than Edinburc.
The lumbermen of Michigan are con-
stantly reaching out into new fields, as
their own forests are disappearing.
There has been a great deal Of Michigan
capital invested for a number of years in
Canadian pine. Several Michigan lum-
bermen have been engaged for three or
four years in the mahogany trade be-
tween this country and Central America.
Now it is stated that syndicates Of
Michigan men have within few days
purchased nearly million and a half of
acres of the long-leavod pine lands Of
Louisiana and Mississippi The lands
were all Government property and have
been acquired at a cost of $1.25 per
acre-a total of something like 81, $780,
900 having been VA for them. 1t is
believed that the standing timber aggre-
gates $1,000, 900 feet of lumber. There
has been much mooted question about
the quality of this yellow pine, but
tests have been made Of it which were
satisfactory to the Michigan men, and
they propose to hold the production
and control it. Michigan pine lands are
worth to-day from $50 to 800 rcr
acre, 50 that they haze n margin for
profit in the land value, which is in itself
enormous.
