 It is interesting to notice that just as silver has been heroicaIIy disposed of it l is rising in price. It is about 59 cents
 an ounce now and it is expected that it
 will go above 6O The eastern demand lis the main factor in the rise. The Far
 East has always been the great buyer tof the white metal Tn that quarter of
 the world are some 7oO,O00,0OO or SO0,- 100000 people. most of whom are very poor and use coins of smallvalue. For their ordinary transactions even bronze and copper sufficeso small are their units of value but silver Is used in larger transactions and for hoarding. l It is customary to get the village met iallurgist to turn one's fortune in silver into jeweIry and wear it on one's per- son for safekeeping. Vast quantities of silver are yearly bought, and the de- mand increases when crops are good land the people are prosperous. India in very recent years, it is pointed out, has been unusually prosperous; crops Ihave been good and exports large. This has caused demand for more curren- cy, and has also resulted in larger pur-
 chases through the bazars for personal use and hoarding. For the first half of the present year the increase in ship ments to India and the Straits, as con- Ipared with last year, has been 63.3 per lcent China has not bought directly from the West in as large volume as in |some former years, but good deal of silver has indirectly found it's way into. the country, 1t is believed, through Jap |anese and Russian channels. China bays out a large amount to Europe yearly in indemnities, but the expendi- lures of the western powers in China in !recent years have been very large. Railroad building, support of troops and military operations have thrown a good deal of cash that way, and China will absorb a good deal more before the present Russo-Japanese war Is con- |cluded.
 So the mourners over the grave of sil- yer will have crumb of comfort, and perhaps by and by they will be able to say "I told you so.'' ,=@ 9.@

London IS a big city. There are six thousand miles of railroad in Greater London, and it is estimiated that some- thing like 6O0,OOO,OOO separate journeys are made by passengers annually. The number of journeys on an average weekday is over 100000. An idea of the vehicular traffic in the streets may be gathered from the statement that in twelve hours 16,054 vehicles of all kinds passed a particular spot in Pic cadiily, and a full service of 69O 'busses passes the bank of England in an hour. The number of passengers carried by the London trams in a year is over S60, 900, 900. A census taken of the num- Der of pedestrians who crossed over the London bridge on certain day showed that they totalled 116,902, and in nine teen and half hours during a day in April last year 24S,O15 people crossed the roadways at the bank.

The Boston Herald rises to remark: The number of college students em- ployed as street car conductors in the chief cities of the land this summer is said to be very large. Tn New York city over one hundred are so engaged, and the number in Boston is reported so be approximately greater. No doubt these bright young men, eager to exer- else and expand all of their inteIlec- tual faculties, reason that in no other line of vacation employment would they be so likely to so thoroughly de- veIop the hve-centses.

The accidents to mountain climbers in the Alps bid fair to be more num- erous this year than ever before. No fewer than 16o deaths have been caused already this season by avalanches or climbing accidents in the French and Swiss Alps. Though the season is not more than half over, the fatalities are within thirty-six of the number that occurred all last year in the French, Swiss and Tyrolean Alps. The height of the climbing season is in July. August and September. but many as- cents are made both before and after those months.
