Railroad Travel In South Africa.

Not only is passenger traffic increasing In short-distance trains, but the taking of holiday trips, lengthy railroad journeys to the coast or from the coast inland, is- becoming much more common among an ever-widening circle. The passenger traffic between the Rand and Durban this season is phenomenal and the excursions to the Victoria falls have been extensively patronized, 'while week-end visits to places of easy access from the larger may now be regarded as permanently popular. There are doubtless many reasons for this increased desire for travel and its gratification, not the least important being the low rates at which excursion traffic is now run and the excellent arrangements made by the railroad administration for the conveyance and convenience of passengers. —South Railway Magzine.
