LONDON. Dec. 12.-(Special.)-Four years
ago there was not an electric car in Lon
don nor a motor-omnibus; the first tubes
or underground electric railways were being
built. and the only means of getting about
London were the slow orse-omnibuses and
the ''underground'-a shallow rooted cut
in which steam trains ran, and which was
always choked with smoke and steam. To-
day the streets are full of swift motor
omnibuses, there are 64 miles of tramways,
which may be set down as all worked by
electricity, for the last few miles are be-
ing transformed this winter; and there is a
network of tubes, by which are meant deep
tunnels under the streets.
What all this means in figures is shown
by a report issued by the Board of Trade,
and while the figures show a great advance
in London's local travel facilities they also
1how, to an American at least, what a
stay-at-h0me creature the average Lon
doner is. First of all let us consider the
number of passengers carried by the vari-
Gus agencies in London in 1903 and 1907.

WCKSBURG'S CAVE JEWELLERS
One Who Was There During the
Famous Siege Recalls Its
Novel Features.

To me, at first, before the novelty OF it
all wore off this gnomelike life was the
Arabian Nights made real. Ali Baba's
forty thieves and the genii of the ring and
lamp lurked in the UNEMPLOYED regions Of
the dimly lighted caves; and the sound OF
a guitar here, a hymn there, and a negro
melody somewhere else. all coming to US
from among swaying oriental draperies,
sent me off at night to fairyland on the
magic rug of Bagdad, which is a part OF
every well-trained boys dream equipment.
But squalling infants. family Quarrels. and
the noise of general discord were heard
at intervals with equal distinctness.
These discomforts, supplemented by the
odor OF stale food in the heavy. earth-laden
atmosphere Of the overcrowded caves, so
offended my mothers senslbility that, per-
suaded by her. my father caused a private
cave for the exclusive use of his own family
to be constructed In one OF the hills behind
the military hospital. Here, under the
shadow OF the yellow hospital flag which,
antedating that OF the Red Cross society,
was held sacred by all gunners in modern
warfare. 1t was believed we should be
comparatively safe.
There were matters even more serious
than my mothers senslbilities to impel my
father to remove his family to new and
safer quarters. From the mortar guns OF
the besieging fleet were thrown bomb shelli
weighing 800 pounds and as large around
as the head of a flour barrel. which in ex'

TIED DYNAMITE TO A DOG
Then the Animal Chased the Owner
Around n Lot and Both Went q.
UD ia the Air.

Tom Buchanan of Bloomington, Ind, has
a pet dog. The dog took sick the other
day and Tom thought 1t would be a hu-
msne act to relieve the animal by killing
1t. So placing the dog in a basket he
carried II to a field on the outskirts OF
town and tied It to a tree. Then carefully
tying a stick OF dynamite closely to the
dogs tail he lighted a long fuse and ran
TO await results from a safe distance.
He had gone only a few yards when he
heard a familiar bark close behind him,
and turning. was Mortified to find that
his dog had broken loose and was now
close at his heels. Tom gave a yell and
set out TO break all sprinting records. So
did the dog. Apparently recovered. he
yelped with joy at the prospect, of a race
with his master. and as n sort OF ruddeI
to guide him his stubby tail stuck straight
out with the stick Of dynamite still TIED
snugly to 1t.
Buchanan hit only the high places. bu
his dog continued TO gain on him. At this
END Of another fifty yards he glanced bacl
again. The fuse was sputtering danger,
ously close to the dynamite. Suddenly Their
was e loud report and Buchanan fel
himself hurled into the air. He doesn'
remember when he came down. but h
has vivid recollection OF awakening sew
eral hours later with a humping headach

face and arms where rocks torn up b
