On this land live l7s57Ss human beings while
around them within few miles another 100000
make their homes. This is the greatest aggrega-
ton of men, women and children in place the
world has known
If the 47s57Ss bitants of administrative Lon
don were spread the whole acreage there
would be sixty persons to every acre, and in each
acre there would be eight houses for them TO live
in. Mass them all together, however giving each
person about two square feet to stand in, and it
would be possible to get the whole population in
Hyde Park and still have over one hundred acres
spare.
The population OF London is continually chang
ing. Every hour fourteen new Londoners are born
and eight die.
London is probably the wealthiest city in the
world. Its property is insured from fire at g o40-
057s46. Despite this however. there is a large
amount of poverty. The figures show that:
One person in every thirty-three is a rauper.
Twenty persons in every 100 die In workhouse
a workhouse infrmary.
London does much TO cope with its burden of
by various charities.
Londoners much given to travelling in trains
tramcars and omnibuses. The weather may ac-
count fer this for it might be considerably better
than II IS. The average that may be expected
each year is about follows:
1850 hours Of sunshine out of a possible 445s
hours.
$50 rainy days with total rainfall of 241k inches
An average temperature of so degrees.
Whatever the cause, however, the fondness for
being carried about instead of walking is undorbt
edly OF the Londoners greatest failings The
facilities tremendous Here are some of them:
Ten great trunk lines have termini in London.
The local railways are worth Ess,sss,2e5.
There are 124 miles OF tramways
Omnibuses number s,162, of which motor onani-
buses form nearly third
The number of passengers carried BY the local
railways and tramcars alone numbered over s4e-
oeo ooo last year, equal TO zoo journeys for every
and child in London. while nliens
more carried IN onnibuses and cabs.
There ia q wide variety in the means by which
