A BANK ON WHEELS,
How New York's Elevated Railway I'm
pioycc's Are Paid on.

Possibly few people ever saw a bank
ON wheels. or if they have seen one,
didn't know IL at the time. says the
Piusburg Dispatch. There IS "A bank on
wheels running through the most crowded
streets Of New York every Saturday. 1t
is attached to steam engine, too and
If necessary runs over good many
people But NEWCOMERS are growing so
accustomed 10 being run over that they
don't mind such triile-espccially IL the
engine IS on the elevated tracks.
II you should happen 10 be on a station
platform Saturday afternoon and see an
engine come sweeping along with sin
gle car behind II. stopping AZ every sta
ton. but taking on no passengers and
letting off none. rs the bank on wheels
1t looks just like any other car on the
outside Through the windows, however
you will observe that the middle OF the
car appears to have the same fixtures
of rail and counter and payinE-tellcrs
windows To be seen in any bank. There
are several clerks OF aristocratic bearing
behind these fixtures. just as there are in
all other banks There IS cash In plain
sight. but dismally out OF reach, just as
you may gloat over through the screens
OF glass and steel of other banks Of
more scdentary habits. There are similar
bis lcdgcrs and day books and all that
sort OF thing You will also see the ticket
seller Of tine station slam down his little
window and dash out on the platform ard
into the car. followed by the man who has
charge Of the waiting room, and one or
two other men in uniform. The guard at
the rear of the car will open the gate
for them. They line up to the counter
inside and write their names in book.
The paying teller passes something over
TO them. They grab II and rush out
again Just as the bell-rope Is pulled, and
the engine goes Off with a snort. The
Grew" at that station have received their
weeks pay Ry the time your train
comes along you will see the bank on
wheels slowing up at the next station. and
there the Grew" OF that station are un
dergoing the same process The bank Is
running on schedule time and keeps
right ahead OF you all the way down.
When II reaches the Battery II stops quite
a little bit, for there are a good lot or
officials there to be paid. Then 1t starts
up one OF the East-Side lines. doing what
YOU saw at your station. When II gets
10 the end Of the route II switches or
TO the downtown track and takes in
all the stations on that side, and so
on from one line to the other until all
tie day crews have been paid of. Early
in the evening the travelling bank starts
out again and does the whole job over
again in the same way, paying OF the
night "crews"
Thus the clevated-road management
clears up its payroll along the several lines
every Saturday without missing trick
or losing a minutes labor Of one OF its
hardly worked and poOrly-paid employees.

daberg. Queensland. and New Caledonia
are now in Geographic communication.
Great danger and many difficulties were
encountered I'm the work Of laying the ca
ble. such as storms breaks and loss OF
the cable entirely. though in each case II
was recovered after several days crap
pling. The first message flashed over the
new cable was one Of congratulauon
from the Governor OF New Caledonia to
the Governor OF Queensland.
The route across the Pacific Is compare
lively an easy one. though II has been but
little considered in the United states. IL
includes five intermediate landings at dis
tances which are comparatively short.
From Noumea the route is 20 Levuka. In
the Fiji group; thencel TO Apia, Samoa.
and thence 10 Honolulu, with a landing
about midway on Tanning Island.
The last route is the longest, the distance
between Honolulu and San Francisco be-

BETTER CONDITIONS.
Less Sickness and Less Crime in the World
Than In Former Times.

(Sir Edward Arnold in Longman's Maya
Zine)
The average number OF days OF sickness
In every decade for each man is said TO
be only sixteen. Under rules OF scientific
hygiene and principles OF health better

BILE or the reverse-has. by the evidence
OF insurance societies, considerably in
creased The power OF unalleviated ply
steal pain TO terrify or trouble is practi-
cally at an end with the general use OF
those benign anaesthetics which have
brought a new era OF confidence TO the
hospital and sick-room and taken away
all its horror from the surgeons knife.
Doubtless. TO judge from your average
daily journal. murders and suicides
crimes and catastrophes, wars and feuds
and frauds would seem 10 remain the sta
pie OF the human record. But be Il re-
membered that for obvious reasons. all
our worst AMI darkest is collected there
One might as wei judge OF public health
by the painful cases described in a medi-
cal publication as OF the vast mass OF
solid human happiness and innocent

only such as are malicious) though the
population increases. they seem steadily

IN 1868; now the evil roll is only 52.i53.
When the population OF England was
49, 900 there were 2,5s9 persons under
going penal seryitude; now, with a popu-
iation OF 2.SO,l7s. the number Is only 9i7.
In 1878 the entire number OF prisoners in
our Jails was ?O.SS3; the entire number at
the same date last year was l2,6S3, though
the population had increased by Goo. 900.
Pauperism is also declining. In 1870 1913

1891. with an addition OF more than 1000.

THE MASSAGE ScASDALs.-In consequence
Of the massage scandals in London last week
detectives have visited and warned the own
ers and managers OF number OF places in
the West End 10 close up their houses on the
ground that they were employing assistants
who were not in possession OF proper certifi-
Gates The result was that many OF these
houses were summarily closed up. Officials
OF the Home Office state that out OF scores OF
so-called massage establishments visited by
the detectives only about half a dozen were
legitimate. The others were gorgeously fur
nished houses which charged enormous fees
and employed double stats OF attendants, half
male aud half female. These establishments
admitted so-called patients Of both sexes who
were privileged TO choose either "masseur'
or 'masseuress" The Home Offices in
quiry into the matter has been conducted so
as TO LEAD 10 no public disclosure, but the con
dition OF things was found 10 be as immoral
