London.-Ths new London museum
has shown its enterprise by adding a
hanson cab to its collection. although
there are at least four hundred OF
these vehicles still in use on the Lon.

hansoms closed his doors three years
ago, and the museum authorities are
no doubt anticipating its rapid extinc-

In 1905 motor taxicabs first ap-
peared on the streets under the hum
BILE title of "Clarences- M echanical
Power" there being 10 of them as
compared with about 1000 hansoms.
IN 1910 the hansoms had declined to
2,0O3. while the taxicabs had risen to
6.397,
Inc exact figures for today have not
been compiled, but II is safe to esti-

employed. The refusal OF the han
