London's New Underground Line.

Rarely before has London (says the Daily Mail) been so pleased with a novelty submitted for its approval as it is with the* new Central London rail way, which ha* now been thrown oppn for public use. From the time the first train started from the Shepherd's Bush terminus at a quarter past 5 un til the last train from the XUnk end half an hour afterm!cinighfc,no fewer than 84,500 passengers had sampled the new line on its opening day. Thousands more had looked on.

As the line is open seven days a; week, these numbers, if regarded as average traffic figures, would mean a yearly passenger retorn of 30 millions. To some extent this traffic was doubt less attracted by the novelty of the thing. Still, the management before the opening estimated an annual paa ■enger total of over 50 millions. They now see no reason for modifying their anticipations unless it is to raise them; Approaching the booking office, the pas Benger, no matter where he wants to go on the system procures a twopenny tic ket. This he drops under the eye of an official into a " chopper," a box at the gate leading to the traioß, for as the carriages are all one class?, there is no occasion for him to encumber himse'f with the ticket, a plan the man or woman who is m the habit of mis laying railway tickets wi'l appreciate. To get down to the level of the trains, which varies from 60ft to 96ft below the street, either Btairsor lift are available. Most people take fine, large airy elevators, for the stairs are loDg, numbeiing from a 100 to 150 treads—a formidable flight to walk up, at all events whatever may b3 said about going down them. Arrived on the platform, one's first Bensttioa is that of a delicious coolness. The thermometer may be soaring in the eighties or iraeties overhead m the street, but down on this line it is always round about 55deg. Then the electric lights suddenly flash into greater brilliancy, and in comes the train, and off it goes •gain before time has been given to observe fully how handsome it is with its seven elegant cars, each built to seat 48

persons. The six miles of double tunnel have cost £580,000 per mile, or close upon three millions and a half sterling alto gether. The undertaking was com menoed with the flotation of the company in June, 1895, The first operation was the sinking of the shaft at Chancery lane in August, 1826, the interim baying been spent in acquiring sites for situa tions and in settling compensation claims. So that practicaUy there have been four years of actual construction. Evidently fnon - superstitious, the management have provided d thirteen stat'ons. Their positions are suffi ciently indicated by the names they bear—-viz : Bank, General Post Office, Chancery Lane, British Museum, Tot tenham Court Road, Oxford Oircus, Bond street, Marble Arch, Lancaster Gatp, Queen's Road, Notting Hill Gate, Holland Park, and Shepherd's Bush.

Thus the line runs underneath the grrat public thoroughfares for its encire length, and has from tho com mencement its public ready waiting for it in the heart of the city—-Oheapside, Newgate street, Holboru, Oxford street, Buyswa'er road, and Uxbridge road.

When it is recoils cted that the journey by omnibus took an hour and a-quarter if the horseß did not collapse f.oon heat en route, and that the fare was fivepence, it seems marvellous that the enterprise, buge aa it is, has been bo long in coming.

The New South Wales Italian Colony.

The London Echo recalls to mind an incident which has probably passed oat of the memory of the great toijority of Australian?, "It is not surprising" it rcm vrka, "that special concern has been felt in New South Wales over the assassination of the King of Italy. King Humbert had some close dealings with that colony about twenty years ago, when the Marquis de Rayß, an Italian philan thropist, sent out a largo number of his fellow countrymen to found a colony on one of the islands in the Korth-wesi Pacific, The Marquis had not properly informed himself about the climate or resources of the island, and when the Italians were landed they had a fearful experience. Scores died of starvation and disease, but the hundreds who survived were rescued by the timely aid of Sir Henry Parkes, who had them brought down to Sydney, gave thf m temporary relief, and settled them upon a belt of land on the Rich mond Biver, where they have pros pered. King Humbert was much touched by this friendly act of hos pitality to his distressed people, and bestowed one of his highest decorations on the Few South Wales Premier."

I was attended by the doctor for Bonne time, with no permanent result. Being advised tc take your Botanic Remedy, I am pleased la Bay I acted on this advice, and Ono Bottle has made a complete change in me. My friends (the dootor included) are all remark ing about the wonderful improvement in my appearance, and I cm honestly recommend "Plantekoa to all who suffer as I have done. Yours sincerely, MRS J. SMITH. Got his Thumb j mimed in the door of the Guard's Van, but •« Plantekoa" Oint ment healed ib in a Fortir'ghh Talta, October 15,1899 Proprietors "Plantekoa." Dear Si/s,—l am writing to inform you that I have used your Plantekoa Ointment with most gratifying results. About five months ago I had the misfortune to get my hand caught in the door of the guard's van at the Lower Hutt Railway Station- My thumb was badly crushed, and in a few hours ib was terribly swollen and as black as my hat. Some of my friends stated that id would be necessary to have my thumb taken off, and I thought myself that I would require surgical aid. Having your Plantekoa Ointment in the House (we always keep it), I had my thumb bandaged with it, continu ing the application for several days. The result was astounding. In a fortnight ib was completely healed, and as sound as it was before the accident. It is with pleasure I send you this note that other sufferers may be induced to try Plantekoa.
