FIGURES ON LONDON TRAFFIC.
Enormous Number Of Passengers Who
Use Conveyances.

The immensity Of London traf ffic is
curiousiy illustrated by an article
which appears in a recent issue Of the
light Railway and Tramway Journal.
= is stated that the number of sub
..ban trains running in and out Of
Lendon daily is no fewer than 7,4?J,
IF which 800 belong to the Great
Eastern.
The passengers they carry is esti
mated at about 100000, and the
,tatistician who is responsible for the
article proves by calculations which
appear to be perfectly plausible tAat
over 6o7,000,o0 passengers have to
De carried per annum.
He estimates that about 3O,Go0, 900

1=e vehicles, and an equal number
Z. Thames steamboats, and the grand
yoti Of passengers carried annually
3 1900 600 ,000.
such figures are possibly not quite
accurate but they are sufficiently near
to give an idea of the immense traffic
that mas tc be dealt with in London
Often enough we grumble about
the condition of the streets, and the
difficulty experienced in getting from
place to place, but, Considering the I'D

wonder is that 4ocomotion should be

Riding through { country part O.

around it. THAT is singular way
of holding a hive together he re-
marked why didn't they use u

That isn't to hold the hive to

woman who had lived most Of her life
in the country. There has been a
death in the family, and the beehive
has been put in mourning
Dead bees?'

well, why on earth do they put
that black ribbon on the hives for?
Do they bind Grape on the horns of the
family COW, or tie up the plCw horses
tails with it, when anybody dies?'
"You may laugh" returned the WON
an; "but it is common thing in New
England where people have beehlve,
to put black around them when some
body in the family dies. They believe
the bees will fly away from the hive
and go to some other place if they are
rot notified of this domestic sorrow in
this WY You know bees are very
pu1ctiiious," she added convincingly
And / know New Englanders have

better send this point in agriculture to

failed tc remark on it in his book on
