CITIES Of tho OLD World.

Afst subject he spoke upon when asked

tpek we'll and have the meri. OF being
netseless. also noticed that many OF tho
omnibnses In London have rubber tires
I AHd the teuuency appears to DO decidedly
~ this direction.
n was particularly Impressed with the
txHiiio tn the busy part of London. To
Hph TIM pnssage Of theee long lines OF We.
hieies. always on the trot, was to me q
q wonderful eight. That traffic did not be-
come congested was. think. due to the
fact that the horses always were on the
who are carefully chosen and are above
The average for intelligence.
The only time during the day when the
traiilc censes ls when police officer goes
to the middle Of the street and raises his
band or when horse falls down. An az.
eident of this kind creates sensation.
ALI the other horses are frightened and The
people are also frightened. The respect
that the people have for policemen 10
something wonderful. and this respect
with tho cab drivers is q valuable assis-
aanee to the officers in the discharge Of
their duties.
"During my vieit the son of the Ameet
Of AfRhaDistan was entertained by the
Lord Mayor. by notice given. In the
papers one section of this busy district
y was vacated by all traffic and The carriages
containing the Prince and his entertainers
were given the entire right OF way on tho
street. That such thing was possible
gave me an exalted idea OF the respect OF
English people for law.
London docs not show many electric
Aghts. In fact as Far as appearances go
there are less electric appliances In Lon.
don than In any city visited. In Ores.
den and Milan l saw more electricity
used than anywhere else.
Il think the Tower bridge over the
Thames Is one OF the most wonderful
structures l ever saw. The steamboats,
that ply the Thames. however, are dis
grace to the city of London and t.
England. which is great ship building

Il was very much pleased with Liver
pool. Iexpected to find a city given ovel
20 commerce entirely, and looked for
smoky and gloomy town. found that Z
was quita a cheerful city ard has mani
Tine streets and avenues. This city has
been very much improved during the pas
lew years.
Another city with which ] was i'm
mensely pleased wac jlasgow. In a few
years this city has grown wonderfully an,
tthas model municipal government
II was disappointed In English agrioul
tHre as far as / sawi 1t. expected to sc
everything In appie.pie order. with wei
trimmed hedges and all that. Probabl
the portion OF the country l won't throug
was not the best. but 1t was not what wa
expected.
IA Il saw more farm machinery In Be-
Rium than In any other country Visited
- was common thing In Germany AM
France to see people using old.tim
Scythes and slckles. was very muc
pleased with my trip but l think ma
