The Lazy. Peaceable Lion.
m the London Field.

From the London Field
That the lion Is not always the roaring,
tearing beast OF legendary description may
be seen In the following extract from the
diary Of young Englishman who is at
present serving his country in northern
Nigeria:
81 had just topped long incline and was
walking my pony. when. on coming around
a corner Of the road, hidden by some trees.
I saw. seventy yards in front of me, bask-
ing in the sun on an open patch of burned
grass. a magnificent full-grown lion. The
sun was not strong. and he was very, very
lazlly hicking his tail from side to side. He
had a short name. and his eyes were a
lovely amber red In the weak sunlight. My
first sensation was one of establishment,
profound amazement and delight at seeing
such a fine beast He a beauty. and
81 seemed impossible to realize that he was
really wild as he lay on his side. looking at
me with his head raised a dog does when
lie hears his masters footstep He was
fat as butter. sleek-coated and glossy.
My pony. as the breeze was coming from
the other direction. did not wind him. and
went steadily on without so much as prick
ing up his ears My dog was walking on

tually passing him. which l did within
twenty yards that / realized that IL the
lion took II into his head to fancy bit OF
white man / should be unable to dispute his
right. After / had proceeded some 100
yards the lion got up leisurely and followed
along the road behind me, but after going
about 100 wards he turned into the bush at
the side of the road

There is another Improvement going on
down in the subway which seems unim-
portant to the casual observer, but which,
In its way, is second only to the clarifying
of the air. They are painting the iron
posts which run between the tracks and
support the street overhead black. Until
now they have been white, very dusty
white sometimes, but still white enough to
attract attention. In choosing white 1t was
evidently the purpose of the subway
builders to make the cavern look as fresh
and as inviting as possible. The iron
posts are only about four feet apart all
the way from City Hall to 96th street,
and when the trains began to run the effect
of these pillars dancing by the car windows
IN a sort Of spectral fury was a decided
strain on the eyes. 1t was early predicted
that subway-itis or some other complaint
would attack the optics of the constant
travellers in the tube. But the people,
thinking there was no remedy for the an
noyance, learned not to look out of the
windows, but to devote their attention, as
most New Workers do. to the morning or
evening newspaper during their journey
ings.
At last, though, the idea of painting the
posts black came to the authorities and they
set to work with the experiment. 1t was
not so much desire to add to the COM
fort of the passengers as 1t seemed a ne
cessity to give relief to the motormen in
charge of the trains. Rushing along in the
mi-darkness through files of the flying
white pillars had a very serious effect on
the vision of the motormen and threatened
some of them with possible color blindness.
The entire safety of the trains depends
upon the green and red signal lights along
the tracks. so 1t became necessary to throw
many safeguards as possible about the
motorman's vision
The effect of the black posts is almost
magical. AS soon as a train attains even
half speed the posts which were once so
cOnSniCIOuS and QiStractnR fade cOnnleteiy
away, and a person sitting next to VIM
dow and peering out at the next track
would be willing to wager any amount that
the supporting pillars had been removed.
On express trains the effect is still more
noticeable. The pillars in front Of the sta
lions have been allowed to remain white
for appearance sake. Passing those sta
lions where the expresses do not stop the
white posts dance by in all their old-time
madness. but when the black-painted ones
are reached the train seems to be rushing

They are planning a subway to Coney

Ply pleasure ground by the sea closer to
the city arouses high pitch of enthusiasm
among New Workers.. No matter how swell
ter.ing the day may be in the city. short
ride by the Brooklyn elevated or trolley
brings the relief of seaShore and ocean

to forty-five minutes from Brooklyn bridge.
The subway would bring the running time
down to twenty minutes.
No other city of America is favored with
a pleasure ground such as Coney Island
It is so accessible that on warm Sundays
and summer holidays nearly half million
people make the journey from this city and

lyn roads. Coney Island, being part OF
Greater New York. Ii Is claimed the transit
lines have no right to charge but single
fare of cents. Instead Of this, however,
the fee is 10 cents for every passenger. The
dime seems a small amount to people in
inland cities where pleasure resorts are
more difficult and expensive of attainment,
but Coney Island is regarded as clearly
breathing ground for the people. 1t is al
lowed a wide latitude such, and 1t is
felt that more people needful of an occa-
sional breath of revivifying salt air could
reach the beaches If the smaller fare were

The Passing of Matrimony.

rEou bhzaf-
II is woman's refusal to marry ana
woman's restiveness in narriage-for the
immense majority of our divorces are
asked for by the wife-which SO alarm
us today.
For both these facts there is the same
explanation; the character of our women
is changing faster than the character of
matrimony. The women of the past were
as children compared with the women of
today.
Some few great names there always were
to show what was possible to the sex !;
but the majority were ignorant, weak and
absolutely isolated. Today in America our
women are we'll educated as men In
many cases, often even more so, and then
wide reading and general acquaintance
with facts OF life, past and present, to-
gether with rapidly increasing organiza-
ton among them, gives them a character
and courage previously unknown.
This change is not, as some thinkers
claim, a morbid demand for masculine
power and privilege. 1t has nothing to do
with sex. 1t is the development OF the
humanness In women.
