 And they are comfortable seats. Well-stuffed plush or leather cover most of them. Only the very oldest coaches have the plain straw seats so common in America One can, and does, smoke in about half of the cars without fouling the air unduly. For there is seldom a close-packed crowd
 Fares for the short rides are cheap CT than in New York, and for longer rides the cost is higher.

 During the present year the lines of two of the underground railways have been extended far out into suburban territory. London, uncon- fined by either sea or river, and not caring to grow upward in the Am erican apartment-houuse manner, is sprawling out in every direction with great rapidity.
 The tubes are helping to create suburbs, already encouraged by steam railway lines from a dozen or more London terminals. Some of the under ground lines make a practice of buy ing outlying property, pushing their

SELDOVIA, Alaska, Jan. 21.-For the past week this town has been the scene of much native revelry, the excitement being occasioned by a whole-heatred celebration of the Russian New Year, which yearly brings a succession of snake dances and other physical gyrations on the part of the natives, covering peri cd of about two weeks.
 During this celebration peculiar customs are honored and parodied, the final establishment to the occa- sion being the act of casting out the devil" which winds up the final evenings entertainment.

YORK WOULD FLOAT BRIDGE
LOAN

The York County Commissioners
have adopted resolutions asking the
commissioners of Lancaster County
for a conference to arrange pre-
liminaries for placing before the
voters of the two counties at the
November election, the proposition
of floating loan for the proposed
erection of a bridge over the Sus-
quehanna River between Columbia
and Wrightsville to carry the Lin
coin Highway across that stream.
The York proposition is that while
the entire river is in Lancaster
County each county shall bear one
half of the expense of construction,
and the bonds, both principal and
interest, be paid by one-half of the
tolls collected on the bridge.
The York commissioners are will
ling to take these steps provided
Lancaster County will take similar
ones and join fully and equally in
the project Sun.

winner, doing all it's scoring in the
