Rapid Transit. Oao hour from tho Rtttcrr to Harlem Iu what an age of wonders we do lire. Yet while one has been almost living through the air on an elevated railway, axiriihilating space and out-distancing time," let use see how far tho metropolis itself has gone. In an hour it has moved over 1,000 miles from "West to East Within the same hour it has traveled about 65,000 miles around the sun, and drawn br the sun it has been making a third journey around a ceatral point in the constellation Hercules at the rate of 150,000,000 of mile per year. This rapid transit through space is without now, confusion or rollision. The tracks are unworn, the motors need no fresh, fuel and accidents aro unknown. Married men aro apt to forget that if it bad xot been for their mothers-in-law they would not have their wives. 1. tai 1 JT Hto sim t w w yat i O) M t M ii eu i..
