NEW YORK AND LONDON.



It is said Of London in praise Of
fits greatness that
In London a child Is born every
three minutes and a death is re-
corded every fve minutes The city
contains 200 railway stations, 5000
omnibuses, 1000 hansoms. $4,000
cabs and 1000 tramcars. Daily
100000 persons travel on under
ground railways.
Eleven railway bridges span the
Thames. -Four thousand postmen de-
liver 100000 letters weekly,
walking distance equal to twice the
circumference of the globe There
are 10000 miles of overhead tele-
graph wires. and the number of tele-
graph messages received In London
in a year is 100000
Ninety million gallons Of water are
consumed daily The railways. omni-
buses, cabs and steamboats, convey
1878, 100000 passengers yearly and
the underground railway 263,000.-
600 passengers.
The lis square miles OF London
are lighted by 4974 electric arc
lights, 11S5 electric incandescent
lights. 5000 incandescent gas lamps
and 1s.24s fiat flame gas burners
Well. New York can do something
in the same lines OF municipal great
ness.
With a smaller number OF inhabi-
tants than London 1t exceeds it in the
volume of travel. in the amount paid
for work, in the volume Of work
done and in the increase In the num-
Der Of buildings, occupants of build
ing and of population.
Where London consumes 10000
coo gallons of water a day. New
York consumes 100000. Where
London has an area of lis square
miles, New York has 326.
In New York every minute two
immigrants arrive-more than
million in year, Every six minutes
child is born, Every seven minutes
there is a funeral. Every hour a
new building is erected.
New York has more children at its
public schools than London; fewer
paupers; lower death rate fewer
uninhabited houses; more parks,
more bridges, fewer iails, better
distributed street traffic and higher
standard Of health.
New York's subway carries more
passengers in a day than Londons
underground. The number of
crimes of violence is twice as large
in London as in New York, and the
number of arrests for drunkenness in
London is four times as great as the
number of arrests for the same cause
in New York
New York has more fires in a year
than London and they entail greater
loss, 1t has less shipping as a port
than London. fewer clerks to the
whole population employed but more
bosses or employers.-New York
