Tho subway IL divided into sections,
each containing q station. In each station
Ia q switch controlling the power In the

The safeguards against general tie-up

Should any accident happen to q car the

One of the defects in the Paris subway

When the accident Of last August occurred
the lights In the tunnel went out and the

That cannot happen in our subway.
In the first place, the lighting ana power

SOME CYCLING FIGURES.
Decline in Cities More Than Balanced by
Rural Gains.

Although it is generally known that the
use of the bicycle by farmers boys and in
small towns, where a few years ago they
were seldom seen, has greatly increased,
1t is hard for those who notice local condi-
tons and note how much bicycle riding in
the city streets and on the nearby boule-
wards has fallen of to believe it possible
that as many bicycles are. on the whole,
in use as formerly. It was almost incredi-
BILE to some persons when the reports Of
manufacturers were made up in the spring,
to hear that more than 1000 bicycles
we're sold in this country in 1902. The slump
after the boom made so much more inn
preston than the steady increase OF rural
riders that the figures caused astonishment.
1t is true, however, that in spite Of the great
decline in the popularity of the bicycle
in the big cities, the total number being
used is greater than ever.
In this country there ia no way OF obtain
ing actual statistics as to the number in
use, but in France every cyclist has to pay
special tax, and there an official record
returning from abroad, and 1t is well known
in the trade, that in France, as well as in
the other countries Of Europe and in Great
Britain, cycling has passed through much
the same history as it has here, craze
over novelty. a boom. reaction, big
slump. and then settling to common
place usage. In France too. there is talk
Of big falling of of popularity Of cycling,
and it Ia reflected in the French papers.
In the face of all this come the facts from
the French tax bureau showing that every
year OF the last eight there has been an in
crease in the number of bicycles. In use.
In 1902 there was an increase Of nearly
10O, 900 over 1901. The figures Of the tax
office show LOG, 1888 bicycles in use In 1901
and POI ,742 in 1902. To be exact, the gain
was just 84,974,
