of what may be called New York

VIII be clinched beyond argument.
How gigantic are the improvements
which have been necessary t. achieve
this end are instanced BY the latest
figures gathered IN connection with
the city's passenger traffic. One rail-
road traveller out Of every ten through
out the whole country is either bound
10 or from New York. since ont Of the
500. 900. 600 carried bv al the railroads
. 100000 are handled here in a year.
The first great factor iu the new
methods 81 handling this tremendous
traffic viii be the tunnels under the
Hudson river. the East river and the
( island Of Manhattan itself. Not TAX
ing into consideration subways, there
are now completed or nearing COM
pletion twenty of these tubes, with a
total length 81 more than rs miles
through which passengers will be
carried 70 and from the heart OF Man
haitian. To afford facilities for hand
ling these passengers. the two busiest
terminals iH the world viii be neces-
sary, one for the roads from the north
and east. the other for those from the
west and south. for TO get travellers in
and out Of New YORK one train must
he handled each minute Of the TWEEN
ty-four hours. This IS at the rate OF
14{0 trains daily or $4,000 a year.
Figuring as shown by the actual
measurements that each train is about
onc-twclfth Of "a mile long this
amounts - "a total Of $500 miles Of
trains entering and leaving the city
each year. or enough 70 reach nearly
twice around the world. incidentally
either OF the two terminals may claim
20 be the worlds busiest spot, since
each will handle in one year 100000
GOO people, equal to about o~ne-fourth
OF the country population. Were all
the passengers 10 be handled sepa-
rately the mount OF time which could

There are still some people who OBJ

venting smallpox, as is shown by the
Introduction of q bin into the New

cautionary measure. Similar bills are

In View of this fact there is particu-
lar Interest ia q report on the subject
of vaccination and It's effect which
has just been made by Or. jay Frank
Schamberg and which Is published by
the American Medical association for
distribution to the lay public from its
headquarters iu Chicago. Dr. Scham-
berg points out nat In the countries

the deaths from smallpox are only
o~ne-cightieth as frequent as in nations
where the practice is not enforced by
In this respect Germany, where
re-vaccination is required after a GER
tain period, makes the best showing
of on the larger nations with one
death from smallpox to each million
of population, Spain and Russia
which do not enforce vaccination by
law stand ut the other end Of the list
with 5G2 and f6a deaths per year from
TINS dread disease TO each million in
hahitants. one of the most striking
results that has been obtained by the
authorities OF the United
states has been tn practically stamp
ing out smallpox in the Philippines
where more than 10000 o vaccina-
ilons were performed iu tive years
without a single death. Or. Scham-
htre's conclusion is that in Wow of
the existence Of eases of this disease
IA almost all the large cities of the
country. the only safety from destruc-
tive scourEr lies IN q continuation of
the policy of enforced vaccination.
