Otis electric elevators. Those ele-
vator cages, which in some cases
have seats on either side, running at
right angles to the entrance of the
same, will accommodate about seven
ty-hYe passengers, SO that you need
not go down or climb up stairs when
coming from or going to the trains,
although in almost all cases stairWays
are provided as well.
Motor Buses.
The motor BUSES. running along the
streets of London. and reaching every
part Of the city, will accommodate
about twenty eight passengers inside,
and 40 outside. The outside seats are
reached by spiral Stairways from the
platform of the car. and are arrang-
ed in a similar manner to that of our
suburban cars, having seats to &C
commodate two passengers on either
side of an aisle which passes through
the center. Those outside seats are
not protected from the weather, but
are provided with waterproof robes
or blankets, the inside OF which is
maSe up of wooden material, similar
to that which you may have seen in
steamer rugs. They are fastened on
to the inner framework which sur
rounds the upper part of the car,
which frame is covered with boarding
to about the depth of eighteen inches.
and then terminates with a rail over
this. This boarding on the outside is
painted in gay color and used for ad-
Vertslng all kinds of wares. and some
liquors. In fact, I have often thought
when watching them skipping aIon 2
that some gigantic circus was being
announced. and it is simply wonderful
to stand and watch those buses be-
ing driven along at such a rapid rate
and having SO few accidents in pro-
portion to the great volume of BUSH
ness and number of passengers trans
ferred from point to point Why. it
would simply astonish one to see the
manner in which they would thread
their way in and out through the
dense traffic and get away at a rapid
rate. A passenger would give the sig
nal in the usual way to stop, when
almost instantly the motor bus would
be close up to the curbing, thus allow
ing the passenger to step right to the
sidewalk, and obviating in many cases
an accident.
Isles of Safety.
Another system which struck me as
being valuable was the placing in the
center of wide streets what they call
islands, which were short sections
built up similar to a sidewalk. Those
places of safety for foot passengers
crossing the%Street also afforded in the
center a base for the iron columns
which carried the electric lights, and
thus great many of their principal
thoroughfares were lighted from the
center of the street in this manner.
l will not at this time attempt to
describe other things which interested
me greatly but will have more to say
later on, as, some months after this
time, | returned to London and re-
manned there for three months. which
was the period of the great dock
strike. of which I will have more to say
later. L will simply add that [ stayed

Now, only think what might be ac-

ers, with their sons and daughters, to
come here and locate on them Why,
in ten years they would have come
back to their own, as they are going
to do, whether we can induce them to
or not. But I think, in fact know,
that they would make an excellent ad-
dition to our grand old New England
commemorative. and you know that
we need them badly.

UnskiIled Classes.
Now. to give you an idea of the
wages received by the unskilled class
es, the tea4nsters Of Glasgow were on
strike for many weeks to obtain
minimum wage for the man who drove
one horse of 20 shillings per week, and
for the man who drove two horses a
minimum wage of "a shillings, I think,
and I think that the maximum would
be approximately % in either ca se
Cost Of Living High.
We Will be able to appreciate the
struggle to maintain decent appear
ance and general look of good health
which those people show after WORKING
hours, and the rigid economy TO do SO
by the Scotch people Of these classes,
and this will be especially clear when
we take into consideration the fact
that the cost of living, with very rare
exceptions, and that as to one or two
articles only is equally as high as IN
this country. l make this statement
without fear of successful contradic-
ton, and / do not think it is necessary
to go into detail as to different arti-
cles. We often hear it stated here
that rent and clothing are lower on the
other side. Well. clothing of the made
to-measure order may be about 10 per
cent. cheaper, bupt 1 do not think that
they comevery far under US in the
ready -to-wear goods. In fact, I think
that in almost all of our clothing es-
adjustments in the larger cities and
in some Of the smaller ones. a much
neater, cleaner cut article is offered
that is as low. at least. as those Of
feded on the other side. OF course, ]
do not say that the material is as good
on our side, but they are certainly bet
ter made than the ready owear goods
on the other. eide

The Matter of Rents.

Then as to rents. / am of the opin-
ion that If a tradesman in Scotland
were to hire u house of. say. six TO
eight rooms. with the modern improve
ments, as the majority of our trades
men do here, teh rents would be equal
ly as high.
Goods in English and Scotch Market.
Now we will look, if you please for
4 brief period at the enormous variety
of manufactured goods which simply
food the English and Scotch market,
coming from Germany. France. Aus
tria, Canada and our own country, and
[ can assure you from long and close
observation that they are for the most
part, of excellent quality and design,
and very low as to price. Those low
prices do not apply to automobiles Of
American make, which are being sold
in large quantities IN the British Isles.
In this sase the prices are the same as
obtain on this side with charges for
freight from New York on top. But in
almost all other cases the prices are
lower than in our own market. |

enless list Of those articles which [

Trolley Cars.

Now. lei us take little trip on the

CARRANZA MUST
SPURN U. S. AID
Agent Tells OF Treason Charge
Villa VIII Not Fire
First Shot.

Heriberto Parron, former member Of tho
Mexican Chamber OF Deputies and Car
ranza's personal agent and Representative
Of the Constitutionalist party in this city.
said yesterday that Carranza, with whom
he is in daily communication. would not
permit the Constitutionalist forces under
Villa 10 fire on United States troops un-
less they were fred on first.
Mr. Barron deplored the Intervention OF
the United States and said that Carranza
could not accept aid from this country
without leaving himself open TO the
charge OF treason. His rule, II established
under such conditions Mr.. Barron said
would never have the hearty support OF
the Mexican people.
"Carranza is not unGrateful toward the
United States" he said when seen at tho
Hotel EspaNa, at 12p West 2lst St, where
he is staying. nor has he taken bel
liCerent or uniustified position.
There is no reason whatever for this
powerful nation. protector Of liberty and
republican institutions all over America,
TO attack its friend and neighbor, weak
ened and impoverished by three years OF
civil strife.
"Carranza has asked the United States
TO withdraw from Huerta It's demand for
q rag salute and submit the matter TO
him, offering TO deal with this question In
a spirit OF justice and Cancellation. If
Carrarza grants the demand OF tho
United States and prevents n disastrous
conflict between the two countries his
action will naye the support Of the great
majority OF the people Of Mexico, whose
aspirations he reflects.
