How DoIphins Play.

Here are fish Of every description. The
tuna is abundant, and the gamy Span

the vicinity of the great island of Car
men they are encountered by the thou
sand. One school comprising many hun
dreds was encountered by the steamer
on which the writer was a passenger
a short distance from the beautiful bay
of Escondido. They were a half mile
distant when they observed us going
in the opposite direction. Suddenly the
leaders, in a clearly eyinced spirit of
rollicking sea dog fun, turned every
one Of them and gave chase to the
steamer. 1t was perfectly evident they
enjoyed the performance as much as
the spectators. For a little while the

LoNDoN's DESERTED MANSIONS.
One Fashionable Residence District
Falling Out of Favor.

Falling Out of Favor.
Various reasons are assigned by
those most directly interested-the
house agents-for the migration of peo-
pie from one of its chief centers, Ian
cashire Gate, says the London Mail.
One has only to take a stroll through
that district Of stone palaces to see
that it seems to have lost favor with
not few of its former inhabitants, for
in every direction one is confronted
with the familiar black and white sign
of the house agent appealing for new
tenants.
The number of those vacant pala-
tlaI residences is increasing surprising
ly, and this fact is having a depress-
ing effect upon the Mazda Vale and
Paddington rates. The loss last year
to Mazda Vale rates was no less than
f7,O37, and in Paddington E4,971.
1t was learned from house and es-
tate agents that the causes Of this de-
Sertion Of the large houses are vari-
Gus. One well-known agent attributed
it to the increasing popularity of fats,
to the servant difficulty and to the
general spirit of economy which had
been prevalent since the end of the
war in all classes.
Regarding the first, he said that
London now possessed magnificent
suites of flats, the rents of which ran
up nearly to f1,000 They were ele-
gantly fitted, and required far less do
nestle help than the large house. There
was no dearth of tenants for houses
renting at f1OO a year; in fact, for
each house of this kind there were a
score of applicants; it was the 945O to
ESQ year house that they found on
their hands.
AS for the servant question, many
women had told him that "the more
servants the less comfort" Many large
houses had been almost reconstructed
internally to meet the requirements
and convenience of the modern SER
wants, but all in vain; they would not
stay in spite of enormously increased
wages.

LoNpoN's TRANSIT METHODS.

New Motor Buses COnEeSt the
Streets of the City.
London's streets, always in a crush
of congestion, both on the sidewalks
and on the pavements, are at present
thrown into new fits by the sudden
accession of a swarm Of motor buses,
says the Boston Transcript. The field
Of public transportation is still open in
the great metropolis to all corners; and
as one result Of the practical success of
automobiIism motor bus companies
have multiplied there beyond the ca
pacity Of the streets, and beyond the
limit Of safety for passers, and beyond
that Of investors in the financing of
the flock of new undertakings. The
only motor buses we have seen here are
the Seeing Boston" cars. The London
type Of motor bus Is similarly huge,
heavy, emitting much smoke, churning
the streets into mud and splashing
walls and pedestrians with it when
not throwing clouds Of dust with their
broad heavy wheels. The dirty and
WORKOUT look that many Of these COM
paratively new vehicles have already
taken on suggests the Overworking of
a novelty and the OVERRIDING Of the
whole business, with an inevitable
financial crash not far away.
A cry is consequently going up in
London for the coordination Of the bus
service into something like the munich
pally regulated Paris monopoly, where
numerous competing private companies
have been legislated into one combina-
ton paying a big franchise tax for the
use of the street into the municipal
treasury. In London the many competi-
tors for the business are using the
streets without any payment whatever.
Moreover, all this service does not ac-
commodate the public to the best adj
vantage, because the buses are going
in punches of four or five together,
whereas regulation sending the same
number out would have them pass any
given point at intervals of a few Sec
onds, and SO form a continuous SER
vice to the completer convenience of
everybody. A service at regular inter
walls, such as is afforded here by the
street cars, is what is wanted with
stops at regularly appointed posts, not
the go-as-yOu-please stopping and start
ing, with straining Of the machines and
jolting of the passengers at every point
anybody chooses, prevailing in London
to-day.
Evidently London has yet to be
brought up to date in its street transit.
And, as usual, of late years, the Lon
don County Council is the power looked
to to bring this to pass Already that
body has supplemented It's establish
ment of river steamboats, to carry off
part of the heart of the city's conges-
ton, with an extensive free tram ser
vice over the Westminster and Black
frairs bridges and the Victoria embank-
ment.
The other day practically all of the
owners of Omnibuses on the lines of the
proposed tramways appeared in opposi-
ton to the scheme at public hearing.
and incidentally confirmed all the ap-
prehensions of the swapping Of Lon
don's streets by the motor buses. One
omnibus manager said that within a
few weeks he would have forty more
motor buses running over Westminster
bridge making sixty in all Another

The new Diamond Shoals lighthouse

and watchroom. The first will be equip
ped with three lifebots, with a crane
for hosting or lowering on the outside
The second floor will be divided into
four rooms and contain the fog-signal-
Ing apparatus and two oil engines. The
third floor will contain the hosting en-
CINE for operating the crane, two large
provision rooms and a bedroom. The
fourth and fifth floors will each have
two bedrooms, a writing room and a
bathroom. One-half Of the sixth floor
will be devoted to the dining room. the
other half to the kitchen, pantry and
refrigerator. The seventh floor will
have a double sitting room or library
and laundry. On this floor also will
be placed tank holding 1000 gallons
of fresh water. The eighth floor will
be properly equipped for the lighthouse
service room. The ninth floor will con-
tain the watchroom and will have a
gallery extending all the way around It,
The floor above this will contain the
light itself, visible in storm or calm for
about twenty miles,"

said his company had sixteen motor
buses running over the bridge, and
that number would be nearly doubled,
In all probability, within the next eight

buses must sooner or later be the mode
