WHAT 1T SIGNIFIES.
This tumble of names, distances and
figures means that within the next
few years underground London will be
a vast spiders web of electric railways
entering the business centres of The city
from every direction, BY the end Of
this year one will be able to travel
from Chaplain Common to Moorgats
Station in tw~enty-one minutes. and
when the City and South London gets
through burrowing under the church,
another eight minutes will take him TO
Islington, so that he will travel from
South TO North London within half an
hour. Electric underground trains will
be running from Shepherds Bush TO
the Bank; from Baker street to the
Waterloo, thence to the Bank. from
Chieklewood to Marble Arch-and on

MORE PLANNED For THE FUT-
URE.
In addition to the important roads
already mentioned, two more will carry
people toward the city from the west
and one these from the east. The first
two are the Brompton and Piccadilly
Circus, starting from a district which as
yet has not known the joys of electric
traction, and the brand new branch Of
the Metropolitan District. which will
try to spoil the omnibus business be-
tween Earl's Court and the Mansion
House. These roads will be about two
and a half miles long. On the east,
the Whitechapel and Bow Electric Tn

for patronage, and will be likely to get
it, for it will unite the Whitechapel

black coffee, which may be put down
as his favorite drink, although a light
claret runs it close in his esteem. His
holiness eats very little meat, and when
he does it is generally in the form Of
poultry or game.
The Emperor Franz Joseph, OF Aus
tria, is great lover OF a peculiar kind
of stew, composed of beef with many
varieties of vegetables and roots, and
which bears a striking similarity to
the Irish stews of this country. The
late empress was an expert cook, and
very often was to be seen in the regal
kitchen preparing the stew to be set
before her husband in the evening.
Since her assassination, however, the
emperor seems rather to have forsaken
the dish she cooked so well, and now
cold beef often constitutes his sole food
for days together. He drinks chiefly a
fruit wine manufactured from grapes
and apples.
King George, of Greece, has a liking
for sardines, nor is he alone in this
respect, for the Queen Regent Of Spain
is also very fond of this delicacy. Her
son, on the contrary, will not touch
fish, preferring, rather, to indulge in
large quantities of chocolate, with the
result that he has been laid IN more
than once from the effect thereof.

LONDON'S SOLUTION OF
RAPID TRANSIT PUZZLE.
Her Capitalists Have Put 500, 100000 Into
the Underground Electric System.

From a staff Correspondent of The Press.
LONDON, September Within the
next few months London capitalists are
going to spend something over $780,
100000 in backing their belief that
underground railways using electricity
as a motive power solve the problem Of
rapid transit-just now as much a rid
die to municipalities here as it is prov
ing to the big cities OF the United
States.
London, with her endless stream of
clumsy, creeping omnibuses, antedilu-
Wan ''tram-cars'' and stuffy. grimy,
sulphurous underground steam rail-
ways, still is a source Of amusement
and pity to visiting Americans; but the
mass OF wooden fence and derricks in
front of the Royal Exchange, the dis
turbanee of traffic on principal streets,
and the general tearing up which is
going on in the heart of the city mean
that radical changes are taking place.
THE pokey old metropolis of the world
is going to have comfortable rapid
transit before the metropolis of the
busting, wide-aWake new world gets
it. So far as | could learn, the signifi-
CAM sum total of the vast operations
as presented here may be said to throw
new light on the question being asked
to-day in SO many American cities, viz:
s'Wouldn't it be best for us to put our
street railroads under ground?"
The pioneers in this movement in
London started building the first under
ground electric railway in 1887, and it
was in fear and trembling. The results
of their experiment, however, have I'M

doubtedly been so satisfactory that,
since the opening of the first line, an
other of the same nature has been built
and is in operation; still another, NAM

completion; something like eight more

THE PIONEER.
The line which thus set the ball roll
ing was the City and South London
Railway. which, in 1887, was told by
the Queen that it might go ahead and
build an electric railway if it wanted
to- and the public was allowed to ride
on 1t In 1890. This road runs from The
Borough, in the centre of the city, to
Stockwell, three miles south, and its
bi-yearly statements show that people
have taken more and more kindly TO
minutes what it formerly took them
the idea Of doing comfortably in twenty
somewhat over an hour of misery to do.

LOOKING FOR MORE.
A significant fact regarding these two
roads is that far from attempting TO
hedge" both are stretching out over
more territory. Thus the City and
South London is adding about a mile
and a half at each end Of its present
road. Part if its earnings it is putting
into a new depot at Lombard street,
and is continuing its line north to
Moorgate street, and still further to The
Angel, at Islington. From the other
end of the line, at ~Stockwell, the road
is creeping on south to Clapham Com
mon, and to give the good folk Of
Islington and Chaplain these advan-
tages will cost the company $1,000 900.
From its present station, at Waterloo,
it will branch out to Charing Cross,
then pillow under Piccadilly Circus, and
finish up at Baker street. This road
will be two miles long, and $4,000, 900
will just about cover the cost of build
ing it.
BIGGEST OF THEM ALL.
-Four years after the opening Of the
City and South London road there was
begun what will be known as the Cen
trail London Railway. This, when COM
pleted-which will be toward the end
of this year-will be the most import
ant electric underground railway in
London, for its tunnels will bisect the
smoky old city, starting at Shepherds
Bush and burrowing under Bayswater

the Central London Railway Company,
and asked if he would tell something
about the road and why its projectors
adopted electric underground traction,

to end of the line-that is 6 1-2 miles.
don't know just how many passen-
gers we will carry at first, for no rail-
road line ever has been constructed in
England along a quite so crowded with
traffic as between the Bank of the
Marble Arch tat the end of Oxford
street,. But from figures based on the
experience of the present steam under
ground railways running through a
congested distriet-from Moorgate
street to Paddington-it is anticipated
that 1000. 600 or S.o00,0 GOO passengers a
mile will be carried annually by our
trains"

CITIES.
Mr.. Graham was asked, rs not this
concerted movement on the part of
London capitalists significant enough
to be considered as the last word in ia
vor of underground electric traction.
Should it not have weight with Ameri-
can cities now considering the sub
jeet?"

are blocked with traffic" he said, I'M
doubtedly yes. Boston is a case in
