Convinced of the Advantages of the T adergrouud F,leetrical SYstera-Capi- cal3sts Have Put S100,000,000 Into the Great Sohemo-Outline of the Work end Some Interesting rIgurei. Within the next few months London capitalists are going to spend something over $100,000,000 in'baciting their belief that underground railways using elec- tricity a» a motive power will solve the problem of rapid transit. London, with her endless stream of clumsy, preening omnibuses, antediluvian "tram -oars" and stuffy, grimy. sulphurous underground steam railways, still is a source of amuse- ment and pity to visiting Canadians; bub the mass of 'weeders fence and der- ricks in front of the Royal llxohange, the disturbance of traffic on, prinoipal areas, and the general tearing up which is going on in the heart of the city mean that radical changes are taking place, The pokey old metropolis of the world is going to have comfortable rapid transit before the boasted wide-awake New York gets it. The pioneers in this movement in Lon- don Farted building the first under - and why its projectors adopted eleobri underground traction,, said; "We have Laid two parallel tunnels, which wilt extend from end to, end of the line—that is, 63d miles, I don't knoi just how many passengers we shall carry at first, for no railroad line ever has. been constructed in England along a route socrowded with trajfio as between ;he Bank and the Marble . arch (at the end of Oxford street). But from figures based on the experience of the present steam underground railways relining through a, oonaested district—iron Moor- gate street to Paddington—it is an,tici- gated that 7,000.000 or 8.000,000 passen- gers a mile will be Carried annually by our trains.. "I think," be went on. "that the ad- vantages or electricity over steam as a motive power are rather generally ad- mitted. It is safer and quicker. Tinder - ground railways, too, will be snbjeot to none of the •obseruotionswhich surface railways encounter. On our line there will be a conspicuous absence of smoke and 'noxious vapors, and the two separate tunnels will insure almost perfect venti- lation. The temperature of the earth at a distance of 60 feet beneath the surface, --that is what our line will be—changes. little. Both care and stations will, be lighted by electricity, '7t ie the sgaffeleling used in Widen our road which makes the Royal Ex- obange look as if that stately building was undergoing iepairs. Immediately opposite are entrances tai the station of the City & Waterloo Refiwar, and on the other corner is the partially completed station of the City ea South London Corm pally. When permission was given to build a station in front of the Royal Ex* change it was put forth as a condition that we should build a subway under- neath the street for the use of foot pass, engers. Title matins all, not merely 'those who use our line; and it means, too, that ie future no one need endanger his lite by skipping through the crush of cabs, omnibuses and drays is the square by the bank. Our station will also be eons netted by subways 'with that et the City Sc South London and the City & Water* leo, so thab passengers may step from one at these linos to another. The Central London will carry passengers into the oily front the west, and will make in 25 minutes. a trip bot now requires an hour rand fifteen; tbe City 84 Waterlco from the east, and the City & South London, with its extended line, zroan the north and south. We shall oonneot with the Baker Street & Waterloo Road, and also with the Great Northern & Strand, the Charing Cross, Ruston St Hampstead, and the Northwest London. Now every one is watching us, and if our line does well it will be the signal for renewed activity in all quarters." In building their new statten at Lem - hard street, the City & South London have had a particularly 'childish. job, for they were obliged to tuunel under a oburoh. This church is St. Mary Wool nosh. and is an old -tuner, having been built by Ilawkshaw, one of Wren's pupils. When the City & South London Asked Parliament to extend its powers, in 1897, the wardens of the old ohurob managed to get a clause inserted in the rails oad's bill that the venerable struc- ture should bo preserved. Some of the people in the neighborhood had ancestors buried there. 1efore the fabric was touched careful photographs and sketches of the interior were taken sQ that the fittings might be restored with all aocur- eoy. This jumble of names. distances and figures moans that within the next few years underground London Will be a vast spider's web of electric railways entering the business cantors of the oity from every direction. By the end of this year one will bo able to travel from Clapham Common to Moorgate Station in 21 min- utes, and when the City & South Lon- don gets through burrowing under the church, another eight minutes will take him to Islington, so that he will travel from South to North London within half an hour. Electric underground trains will be running from Shepherd's Bush to the Bank; from Baker street to Waterloo, thence to the Bank; from Cricklewood to Marble Arch—and on to the Bank. The Old Lady of Threadneedle street will have callers bundle in upon her faster than she ever bas had them before. To this end are working the brains of London's foremost engineers, such as William R. Galbraith, Alexander IL Kennedy, Sir Benjamin Baker and Sir John Greathead. The "shield" for underground tunnel- ling, invented by tho latter, is in use in each of the present enterprises in Lon- don.

The results of their experiment, however, have on. doubtedly been 50 satisfactory that, since the opening of the first lino, another of the sante nature has been built and is in operation; still another. mammoth in importance, is an the point of comple- tion; something like eight more are being projeoted, and even the owners of the old steam underground railways are wonder- ing if it wouldn't stand tbom well in band to put in electricity, too. These new electric underground lines will bo from one to six Hailes and a half in length. and it will oast $3,000,000 a mile to build them. The line which thus sot the ball roll. ing was the City & South London Rail- way, which, in 18E7, was told law the Queen that it might go ahead and build an eleotrie railway if it wanted to; and the public was allowed to ride on it in 1890. This road runs from the Borough, in the center of the city, to Stockwell, three miles south, and its bi-yearly state- ments show that people have taken more and more kindly to the idea of doing comfortably in 80 minutes what it form- erly took them somewhat over an hour! of misery to do. According to a complete statement issued Inst spring, the receipts of the lino since the beginning of 1801 were $1,88.1,285, and at that time tbe holders of stook were ermined with a dividend -5 per cent. preferred, 2 per Dent. ordinary. This state of things emboldened the Southwestern Railway to build an under- ground electric) road from its station at Waterloo to the Bank, in the city, tun- nelling under Father Thames. The line thus made is one and a half miles long and cost $3,110,670. It started in the fall of '98 to take people back and forth be- tween those places about four times as quickly as they had ever been taken before; and the company's statement for the first half year tells us that 1,715,825 persons paid tupnonoe each for the privil- ege during those six months. This road's dividend was 2 per cent. A signitioant fact regarding these two roads is that far from attempting to 4thedge," bath aro stretching out over snore territory.

Part of its earnings 1t is putting into a anew depot at Lombard street, and is con- tinuing its line north to Moorgate street, and still further to the Angel, at Isling- ton. From the other end of the line, at Stockwell, the road is creeping on south to Clapham Common, and tc give the good folk of Islington and Clapham these advantages will cost the oompany $10,- 000,000, The City & Waterloo line is also growing. From its present station at Waterloo it will branoh out to Charing Cross, then plow under Pioadilly Circus, and finish up at Baker street. This road will be two miles long, and $6,000,000 will just about oover the cost of building 2t. Four years after the opening of the City & South London Road there was begun what will be known as the Cen- tral London Railway. This, when com- pleted—which will be toward the end of this year—will be the Inost important eleotrio underground railway in'London, for its tunnels will bisect the smoky old city, starting at Shepherd's Bush and burrowing under Bayswater road, Oxford street, Holborn, Newgate street, Cheap- side, Poultry and a lot of other streets as venerable until it reaohes the Bank -- which is the Rome to which nearly all these new roads will lead. This particu- lar one will cost in the neighborhood of .$20,000,000. R. O.

Kumar Shri Ranjisinbji is the name of the Indian prince who is expected to visit tho United States shortly as the champion oricket player of the world. He bas the record in the annals of the game of scoring 8,000 runs in one season in first-oiass matches. This bas never been accomplished before. The next highest record is that of W. G. Grace, who scored 2,739 in 1874. It is remarkable that an Oriental should eolipse an Englishman so emphatically in the latter's national KUMAR SIMPI RANTITSINHJI. game: Prince Ranjitsinhji was born at Sarodar, in the Province of Kathiawar, western India, in 1872. It was during his school days in India that he learned to play cricket. In 1888 a visit to Eng- land gave him greater opportunity to master the intricacies of the game. Dur- ing his second year. at Trinity College, Cambridge, he playerlt, regularly with a team and•in 1892 he played' for the seniors. At Lord's, in 1895. he made his. first :appearance in first-class cricket. That year he snored an aggregate of 1,775 runs with the average of 49. In '1898 his record was 2,780 runs in,48 completed innings. The team which comes with the prince will open at Philadeiphla on Sept. 22.

You and ma can have a good old talk," Awhile later be was stamping off the falling snow on the platform of the station. The express stopped, an unusual proceeding. A tall, bronzed man alighted, and pa met him, so eager he almost cried over him as he shook hands. AIas, alas! All pa's finesse and sub- tle phrases were forgotten. Finally he reined in Dolly, almost in sight of the house. "Devy," he quavered,' "I always felt so sorrowful 'bout you an Angeline Porter's break off. You war so happy together when you was young.

"Please 'scuse Angeline," she said brokenly; "she's there in the parlor. Don't you want to go in, Devah? I guess you needn't be afeared." The tall man strode past her, his own eyes misty. The wedged couple left on the steps were not ashamed to kiss each other with tears and smiles. —Chicago News. at o s say w en ey we held that news?" asked his wife, much impressed, but giving up, as usual. "They'll say you've come to years of discretion, though I don't want to hurt your feelings none, Drusilly. You can take it all out fixing up the spare room and Marindy's room.

I'll hitch up the cutter, and we'll go over to town and engage Angeline for the whole endurin week." The two were as excited as chil- dren. The letter had to be strong enougb to suit pa and was tbe labor of an hour for Mrs. Gladden ere it suited him. Dinner over, they tucked them- selves into a green sleigh and drove aver to New California. "We'll stop on the way," said the small and rosy man. "I feel so anx- ious to get hold of Angeline."

A child called out, and Mr. Bolton darted back just in time.

They are hung upon pale tinted silken petticoats. The coat revers are often faced with fine Irish point, and If It were not for the wearer's cap and glasses the whole outfit would appear hopelessly anom- alous. Tho cap's crown is always made ot the same goods as the duels dress, with a visor of salt waterproof silk. and it is in shape only a pretty feminine edition of the yachtingg caps men wear. While white and pale pink and navy blue have become devoted to the serv- ice of the sea women, green is growing as precious to the golfer as to the patriotic Hibernian. Skirts have drop- ped to tbe ankle and are usually of a tweed that shows a mottled green and brown surface, while the shirts run the whole verdant gamut, from sober olive and what is called vegetable green to a bright pea green, overspread with yellow or black microbe dots. While the effort of the tailor is mere- ly to east a pleasing variety into his golf studies, with the automobile cos- tume he is still in the throes of crea- tion. A pretty automobilist at Bar Harbor spins about in her gasoline dogcart in a strapped seam skirt of pale buff cloth, brightened about hip and foot with eurlycues done in tur- quoise blue mohair braid. A white duck shirt, heavily embroidered down the bosom, as all well regulated duck sbirt waists should be, in three broad bauds of blue, accompanies the buff skirt. No small coat goes with this, for a cape is what the chauffeuse prefers usually to carry, and the cape, in the case referred to, was made of plaid molleton cloth in buff and blue cross- bars, lined with blue silk, and show- ing a pudding hood, also lined with blue, A. white straw bat, with a crown ing point and add one solid quart of peeled and cut ripe tomatoes.
