Yet it is only the beginning of the underground
railroad system of New York. Under the supervision
of the rapid transit commissioners three other man.
moth underground projects are being carried forward.
One is the tunnel of the Pennsylvania railroad, which
is to extend from Weehawken, New Jersey, under
the Hudson river. below the surface of Manhattan
along sIst, sand and SSrd streets, and under the East
river to Long Island City on Long island, a distance
of four and one-ffth miles, and a total length of main
tracks of twenty-five and one-ffth miles.

begun as far back as IS74-connecting Hoboken,
New Jersey, with New York, was completed by the

round numbers 1t will average for a year
two hundred and forty millions. The
underground will carry more than that: but
with all the increase in facilities we shall
fall short of what we ought to do. This
is based on the calculation that New York
is increasing in population at the rate of
two hundred thousand a year, and that
every man, woman and child averages four
hundred and fifteen street car trips annually.
According to these figures the city's popula-
ton will have increased by one million
in five years, and the additional fares to

I have particular place
where I like to go and pick
p1ums. On every side are fine
plum trees and a wide spread

It is a long distance from
the house. Some days I go
just to eat plums. At other
times I am told to take pail
and pick some for sauce.
When I get tired I lie down
upon my back and look up at
the clear, blue sky. When the
acorns are ripe they fall from
the oak tree and I pick az
many as I can. In winter
mash them up and give them
