STREET RAILWAYS IN PARIS
Carry Nearly Two Hundred Million
 People a Year.

From the Pittsburg Sun.
 The Paris tramways were originally horse-car lines quite similar in charac- ter to American lines of thirty years ago. They have been gradually converted by the adoption of electrlc, steam and com pressed air motors, until only few Of the horse-car lines remain in service. The system as 1t existed at the close or l9C4, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, was practically in the hands of five large companies. These companies operate 62 lines or tramways. and carry 299,050,sS6 passen- gers a year, according to consular re- port which continues:
 Many of the Paris tramway cars are, like the omnibuses, doubled decked. the fare within the Qualifications being gen. erally cents for the inside and cents for the upper deck. Some of the cars are of the AmericaS pattern. Certain routes are divided into sections of about two miles. for which 2 cents per section, or cents the whole distance, are the fares charged. For 6 cents q transfer ticket Is given. which enables a passenger to take another car or bus, and thus continue his route to a district not covered by the first vehicle.
 The total mileage of all the tramways in Paris during the year 1904 was 19,873 lilometers Q234S miles) and the aggre- gate receipts were 26,666704 francs. or s514s.53S an average of 34 cents per car mile.
 Tramway cars in Paris do not stop on being sgnaled by a passenger. but halt only at regular stations, which are fixed by the prefect of police at convenient dis tances The concessions granted to the companies prescribe the minimum num- Der of daily trips, the capacity of cars, the limitations of speed the duration of the charter and the price of the fares All concessions for lines which pass be- yond the Qualifications Cor walls) of Paris are granted by the state.
 Some. but not all, of the electric tram way lines operating within the city limits use the overhead trolley. On certain crowded streets the use of the subter- ranean conduits for current is enforced
 The companies are generally required by their charters to keep In repair that portion of the highway which lies be- tween their tracks and about two feet on the sides.
 The several lines vary in respect to the maximum distance to which a passenger is carried for one fare. Most lines run first and second class compartments or cars, and the fares are usually in the proportion of cents for first dnside) and 8 cents for second class (outside).
 There is no one central point of tram way service in Paris, such as exists in

Boat Hauled Through Surf by Horses From the Boston Herald.


 Two men in a S-foot power boat were rescued in the worst northeaster of the season recently off the metropolitan park way at Nantasket by officers of the met ropolitan police, assisted by cottagers. Their boat was pulled ashore by team. J. l.. Ecker of Dorchester, the owner of tho boat. and William A. Kauth, who was visiting him, undertook to bring the boat into Boston Harbor. Everything seemed propitious until they were opposite Saga more Hill, when the power gave out. The boat was unmanageable and drifted rapid ly to the beach. The men could do noth- ing but try to keep the boat lighted, and Patdolmen Mullen and Dwyer went to their help in a small boat. By this time . crowd of cottagers had gathered. and when the boat came into the breakers about % of these waded into the surf and lent a hand in pulling the boat ashore. The policemen got hold of a team and dragged the boat on the beach beyond the breakers. Outside of drenching for the men and straining of the boat no damage was suffered

most American cities. The cars start from several different local points.
 Each Of the companies has separate charter, in which special conditions are granted and certain obligations imposed. but the tax Is roughly calculated to be about francs (s8 cents) per car per day. The municipal budget for 1905 shows that the city received from public convey ances a revenue of 11.243,s70 francs C$2- ITO, ,s55) but as this item includes cabs and omnibuses as well as street car lines it is impossible to ascertain from the available statistics how much of the en- tire sum was derived from trolley or othev street car companies.
 The other taxes are not large. and are in the form of rental for the occupation of the streets. Thus the company Of tramways of Paris and the department of the Seine, with s6 separate lines and branches paid only 10000 francs ($lsS6) during the year, which will indicate the very moderate basis on which taxes of that class are imposed.
