Show-Your-Ticket System Fails
to Balk Crafty Brighton
T Travelers.
British railroad ofllctnts have had bo
many cases of passengers beating their
way since the railroads were taken
over by the government that the rail
road executive Instituted a rnlo that
every passenger, whether commuter or
otherwise, should produce uls ticket on
all oocoslans when pausing the barrier.
This action presented a great deal of
legal business nnd stopped practically
all fare Jumping. Persons falling to
produce their tickets had to pay wheth
er they woro the ownors of a ticket or
not, nnd the courts have mnlntnlned
the action of the railroads even wheu
the ticket had been produced In court.
This system has up to tho 'Inst few
weeks worked satisfactorily, but tho
exodus of the foreign element from
London to Brighton to nvold airraid
dangers has uncovered a Bystem by
which It could be beaten.
The London nnd Brighton railroad
has a system by which It issues pint
form tickets to passengers wishing to
sec their friends off- by train at a
charge of two cents, nnd these charges
being applicable to both the London
and Brighton stations, the refugees
from London have been working n
scheme of buying n platform ticket,
getting Into the train and having a
friend moot them on the platform of
the station of their destination with 0
platform ticket bought at that end of
the line.
In this way they have been traveling
50 miles by train for a total expendi
ture of four cents for platform tick
ets, while the Blnglo fare works out at
tl.80.
To cope with this evasion of fare tho
railroad company has now instituted a
ticket colloctloa at a station en route
and the local court funds have been
Increased by an enormous sum In fines,
penalties averaging $10 being Inflicted
in an cases coming before tho court
, The 8wlftet Bird.
Though the petrel Is swift, the frlg
ato bird Is far swifter. Eeamen gener
lly lielleve that the frigate bird can
tart at daybreak with tho trade winds
from the coast of Africa and roost the
same night upon the American shore.
Whether this Is a fact bas not been
conclusively determined, but It is cer
tain that this bird Is the swiftest of
wluged creatures and Is able to Dy un
der favorable conditions 200 miles an
hour. Its appenrunro near land Is
thought to portend a hurricane.
