THE pEAplY HANsoM.

London wants . substituts for the
Vehicle That Kills.
London is sorely in need Of a public
vehicle to supersede the hanson cab.
The streets Of the metropolis are more
slippery and more crowded than those
Of any other city. Horses drawing
hanson cabs are notoriously prone to
stumble on the shiny surface Of our
asphalted and wood-paved thorough
fares And when a hanson cab horse
falls the passenger has little chance Of
escaping injury. He is generally flung
head foremost over the curtain" on
to the body Of the horse, struggling
franhcally on the ground If the win
dow is down, he is thrown through
that as well: if the window is up, the
sudden stoppage Of the cab frequently
brings it sliding downward with such
force that the glass is shiVered into
pieces and the sharp fragments laeer-
ate his face and head An authority
who has spent years In studying the
question Of street passenger traffic
mentioned several cases to a Daily
Mail representative where hanson cab
passengers known personally to him
self have had glass extracted from the
face, head and legs in consequence Of
the horses merely slipping. Another
fruitful source of accident is the kick
ing in of the footboard by a restiye
horse. The splinters are showered in
to the passengers face, as in the other
cases be has no means OF escape, for
If he attempted to jump out he would
probably be struck by the lunging
hoofs Of the horse. In fact, no matter
what the nature of the accident. the
hanson cab passenger is perfectly
helpless. It matters little what type Of
carriage is adopted so long as 1t Is
safer to ride In than the present han
som. which slays its score Of people
annually and Injuries many hundreds.
