with "cannibals" while anchored near

Transcript says. These alleged "can.

night of Jan. 81, because of the dan.
ger accompanying navigation In those

tording to those on the steamer, scores
of the savages boarded the vessel late
In the night. Their coming was the
signal for officers and crew to arm
themselves. The guns were unneces.

who was capable of speaking enough
English, making 1t known that they
simply came to visit, to pay social
call, so to speak. The visitors la
cluded several women who carried
babes on their backs. All were prac-
tically naked and the weather was ex-
tremely cold, so the captain, mindful
of his duty, invited them into the
cabin. They didn't remain indoors
very long, however, for as soon as
they noticed their reflections in the
various mirrors on the walls they fed,
frightened, outdoors.
The male members Of the party soon
became familiar enough to beg for
whisky and tobacco. They were fur
nished with some OF the latter, but
the captain denied them any spirits,
1t being against his temperate prin-
ciples. In return for the fayors, the
savages entertained the crew with
songs and dances. Just before they
departed, about midnight, they were
given whotever clothing those on

LONDON TRAFFIC PROBLEMS.
steps TO Be Taken for Handling the
Future Population.


Future Population.
The primary difficulty in handling
the enormous and constantly increas-
ing London traffic arises from the
manner of London's growth through
the centuries, says John L. Grifiths in
Daily Consular Reports. 1t was not
laid out as Washington was for, ex
ample, according to a definite plan
but developed in this direction or that
in response to the immediate pressing
need, and until recent times with little
regard to future requirements. The
result Is an extremely picturesque
city, but not one altogether adapted
to the transportation needs of its vast
population.
1t is proposed now to make an ex
tensive survey of the traffic necessities
of the city, taking into consideration
its possible future expansion, with the
view of establishing great arterla
traffic thoroughfares for the purpose
of relieving the congestion at the cen
ter, and of furnishing adequate com
munication between the center and the
outlying districts. To show the need
of such thoroughfares 1t is only neces
sary to mention that while there are
102 miles of boulevards and avenues
ninety-eight and half feet or more
wide in Paris, London has only eighl
and one-half miles; and while Paris
has forty-two roads radiating into the
country, London, with population
twice as great, has only twenty, and
ordinarily they are narrower than the
French roads.
The proportions of the London
traffic problems are shown by the faci
that S7,9S4 new buildings were erect
ed in the county Of London (the city
embraces the entire county and por
tions of other counties) from 1897 tc
1908, and by the further fact that In
the same period 14S miles of new
streets were laid out.
1t Is estimated that by the middle
Of the present year the population Of
greater London will number 100000
people, of whom 4,S73,000 will dwell
within the county Of London proper.
and 2,627.000 outside. Upon a con.
servative estimate an annual addi,
tion of 100000 may be expected to this
population.
The experience of London is similar
to that of all other great cities IN
that, for many years past, the popula.
tion Of the outer area has been In
creasing much more rapidly than In
the central districts, and the diff
culties Of the traffic situation have
been thereby seriously augmented
The total number of passengers con
veyed in 1908 was 1877 100000, as
against 72,465, ,6S2 in 1903. The tota
number of passengers carried in 1SSl
was only 269,662,649. These figures
however, are not complete, for the,
do not include the cab traffic, nor al
Of the omnibus traffic, and neither d
they cover the great suburban trafi
of the trunk railways.
