LONDON’S IMMENSE TRAFFIO.

City Proper Small, but Ovor a Million People Traverse It Daily; The movement of the traffic in the city of London proper, the center of the financial activity of the world, is suggestive. Although but a square mile in area, with a day population of about 300,000, and a night population of but a tenth of this, In a single day over a million and a quarter of people and 100,000 vehicles enter and leave its limits. The general street traffic is carried on by about 200 miles of tramways, nearly 150 lines of omnibuses, and 12,000 cabs. Internal communication is also provided by two lines of underground railways, with suburban connections, says Engineering Magazine, and three deep-level roads operated electrically. Two lines are under construction, six more authorized, and parliamentary rights are sought by existing or new companies for thirteen railways or modifications or extensions thereof. Philosophy is the art and law of life, and it teaches us what to do Id all cases, and, like good marksmen to hit the white at any distance.— Seneca. Love never turns Its microscope on our faults.
