Cover 5,000 Acres -An Outdoor Staff of 843 Men and Women. One of bite most useful activities of the London County Council has been fu the extension of the parks system of the metropolis, which now includes, un- der the management of the council, near- ly 5,000 acres, The napuirclnent.and development has cost about $8,500,000, and the 001100! charge for maintenance comes to $5(15,000, which adds about a half penny in the pound to the rates, or about two-tenths of 1 per cent. The cost includes the sal- aries of est outdoor stnff of 843 men and women. The council came into existence in 1880, and suceeded to the metropolitan board of public works in the care of the parks, but of course with larger powers, In all 57 new parks have been added since then out of the total of 101 that come under the council's management. -Park and Cemetery.

During this period of prosperity population Increased as It does In all countries at .dates of in- dustrial expansion. Since the war with Prance, Germany has been transformed from an agricultural and military Into a menu - lecturing end commercial nation, the process causing a transfer of population, as lu Eng- land, from Ibo rural districts to the great city centres of Industry, Everything went well so long 01 markets could be found for German goods and the cost of living was cheaper than In the countries with which Germany competed. But a change was sure to come, ea the Kaiser foresaw and endeav- ored to provide against by his efforts to establish colonies, create mer satin marine and its natural complement an efficient navy. }lnving adopted the protective system, and being hedged about by nations with tariffs ca1utlly exclusive, Germouy soon began to realise her limitations. She was turning out more goods of alt kinds than she could sell Al, the stone Ince the cost of living was ad- vancing and made more costly by the Im- port duties on foodstuffs from abroad. The result haus been that the glut of over -pro- duction bas been followed by reduction 01 wages, and the Industrial classes in cities find they can no longer dispose 0f their labor for sulnelont stoney wherewith to purchoe.e the neeessarles of life, Germany le now entering on the same conditions which existed in Great Britain at the time when the agitation begat for the repeal of the cern laws. These conditions are lack of employment for the masses, in- creased prices for foods, warehouses filled with uneatable goods and mpital locked up or sunk in vast national and industrial works and enterprises undertaken with the Idea that good times would last Indefinitely. How these conditions effect the working' people of Berlin Is shown by the pathetic toles of novelty recently published, In the first week of December, according to official statistics, no fewer than 11,04; children al - tending the primary schools, under the com- pulsory edevation law, went without breaks foot. and had 00 0000pect of n meal at mid- day or evening when they returned home. About holt this number received n meagre portion of food front the Children's Canteen Society, a charitable organization; the re- minder wore reported actually starving to death. Such a horrible state of affairs In one of the grandest rtnd wealthiest Capitals of Europe could not be permitted, and the city had to provide the means for feeding the little ones slowly perishing for want of food. Never was there a more striking il- lustration of the Inek of balance In the modern Industrial system that results from so -caned protection. The natural ecmwalcal forces, reotrieted and perverted in their oper- ation. recoil upon the weakest first by con- signing the toners to Idleneeo and their chit, dren t0 starvation.

At last it tante near enough for the driver to crawl to the front of his en- gine and drop a stout chain over the. tender hook of the other. Ile returned to his footplate, shut off steam and screwed dawn his brakes, This steadied the one in front and so retarded its pace that the driver was able now to creep from his own engine en to the runaway, put on the brake, 0 10 bring it to It standstill, almost in the crowded Darlington Stntion.-Lon- den Standard, • Depressing.
