In old Izaak's day they possessed none of the finer modern • products with array of minbow colors and fancy shapes that are supposed to fool the fish. .Just when the use of silk worm gut began we cannot say, but we are ready to bet a frog-harness that Walton never saw any. Now we have various kinds and colors ®f gut, both straight and tapered, and some are camoflaged in such a manner that the poor, unsuspecting fish cannot see them. In fishing lines we have the braided silk, waterproof silk, enameled silk, vacuum-treated silk, et cetera. Poor fellow Walton had to get along with horse hair. When our friend izaak Walton wished to fish he used such a line and for his leader he used - a single strand of horse hair filched from the tail of the old gray mare. We wonder whether some of our present day anglers could make good with the tackle of those pioneer days. The modern fisherman is a rather particular individual about his rod, reel and line--to say little of his selection of lures. The rod must be of a certain weight, balance, length and action. The reel must possess all the mechanical requirements of a watch. The line must be properly dressed, correct weight and possess flexibility, purest thousands of different types, shapes, colors and designs are on the market today, all of which have their following. Still, with all this change from Izaak Walton's equipment to that of the modern angler, we wonder whether the pioneer fisherman didn't enjoy ^is days on a stream or lake just as much as thp angler of today. "Love quietness and Angling" is an ancient slogan--but we feel that it is still in vogue today,"Vven though the equipment used differs much from Walton's crude outfit. & An Early Stage in Subway Construct,<»n, New York City.

IX C.J HE cities of the world that possess underground street railways-- 11 in all--are about to have a recruit In Stockholm. This capital and metropolis of Sweden with its 465,000 inhabitants Is negotiating for the construction of a comprehensive subway system to coat many millions of~~dollars. This decision of Stockholm to place street railways under the earth's surface comes soon after the newest and one of the most ambitious of the world's subway stations has been opened under Piccadilly .Circus, the center of London's activity and the place of her greatest traffic congestion. The two events recall the brief period during which the present extensive underground railway systems In great cities have developed. It seems strange that man, who deserted his caves Scores of thousands of years ago and who has been busy since subduing the earth's surface and even invading its air, should turn back and begin burrowing beneath ground. It seems st ran pest of all that he should delve below the surface for rapid, mass travel, a thing that he probably never dreamed of in his most btiagi native moments until perhaps a century ago. Underground rapid transit Is the result of the tremendous growth of certain cities. It was only where population increased to such an extent Jllat surface streets became choked with myriads of people seeking to move about that the idea of travel beneath the surface could ever seem desirable. And it was only after the invention of the railway that the idea became feasible. Just as the cjoss-country railway developed from the stagecoach, so the highly organized and heavily capitalised subway systems of today grew from the omnibus, the stagecoach of the city. In New York, a city stage line was started in 1830 to operate north on Broadway from Bowling Green; and within two years the world's first street railway--its cars drawn by horses--was born in the same city. It was a line along Fourth avenue from near the present site of city hall to near the present location of Grand Central station. The idea spread in the United States but Europe was slow to follow. Paris established a horse-car line in 1856; but It was not until 1861 that London had its first "passenger tram." In London and New York. Londoners did not take kindly to atreet railways; they objected to tho rails which Interfered with other traffic. It was because of this feeling that railways in cities should be out of the way that the first steps were taken in London toward underground rapid transit. The earliest line, constructed before 1870, was not all underground. Much of it was in open cut, and only part in tunnels. The trains were operated by steam engines, and the tunnels were so smoky and 111 ventilated that the system was not a success. In the meantime New York, faced %ith a growing congestion of street traffic, and a lengthening city, was experimenting with a new solution, the elevated railroad. The first was built in 1868 and by 1787 there were four elevated structures on which steam trains were operated. Placing fast moving city trains above the street level proved the best solution while steam was the only motive power, and the system was adopted in Chicago, Berlin and Liverpool. London, then the world's greatest city, continued to look underground for the solution of the rapid transit problem. After cable cars first came into us^ in San Francisco in 1873 and spread to oiSer cities, the idea was conceived of operating cable cars in tunnels in London. In 1886 the world's first all-tunnel subway was started in London; by the ime it was completed In 1890 the electric locomotive had been perfected and the new underground railway was put into operation ^th this newest draft agency. Glasgow, Scotland, and Berlin, Germany, opened subway railroads about the same time. Budapest, Hungary, was next to join the ranks of subway cities. Boston was the first American city to begin work on a subway. It was opened in 1898. In 19Q0 the Paris "Metro" began its underground career, and In the same year New York started on its first underground railway. The first train rolled through the New York subway in 1904, and (h* work of extending 'the system has been nnder way almost continually since. Philadelphia first joined the cities having underground rapid transit systems in 1806. Since then the roster has been added to only by Madrid, Buenos Aires, and Tokyo. The subways In Madrid and Buenos Aires are only a few miles in length, but the Tokyo system Is fairly extensive. Big Population Needed. The fact th*at heavy population Is essential to the success of sdbways Is demonstrated by a glance at the roster of "subway cities." Of the world's 10 greatest cities, all but Chicago, Osaka and Moscow have subways, and In the missing three the construction of underground railways Is being given serious consideration. Of the smaller cities having subways, Budapest, Glasgow, Madrid and Boston, the two first named* have more than a million population; while the recorded population of Boston, applying to a restricted area, does not in*' dicate the magnitude of the crowds daily dependent on the city's rapid' transit facilities. The Madrid under#! ground system is of limited extent. Of the Bub-surface city railway systems, those bf New York and Lon* don, the two cities which vie for thqj title of world metropolis, far surpasa; all others in extent Yet in plan and' operation these two great metropolM tan systems are in some ways strikingly different. London was the pi*, oneer and some of her early construction was found later to lead to marked! inconvenience and expense. Thus hei* earliest "tube" tunnels were cons| tructed at great depths, making i% necessary to supply batteries of elei vators and escalators at the stations^ New York took up subway construct • tion late, but profited by the experi mehts of those earlier in the field, Sh& adopted the Budapest plan of placing: the tunnels as close as possible to tlio* surface so that elevators would b*f| unnecessary. Another radical departure from the older method^, adopted in New York, was characteristically American. Thia, was the virtual building of two subways in one, by the provision of four tracks, two devoted to express and two to local service. Good Devices by the English. In London the sub-surface railway, system Is known qp "the Under-6 ground"--"subway" Is applied only to pipe tunnels, footpaths, under-street crossings, and the like. Some details making for the convenience and comfort of passengers stand out in the operation of the Underground. Stations are more ornamental and less starkly utilitarian than most of those in New York; and in some, as in thenevtest Piccadilly station, striking mural paintings adorn the walls. The. Piccadilly station la virtually an underground square, brilliantly lighted,' surrounding which are well-appointed shops. The best feature of the Under-; ground to a stranger in London, however, is the remarkably sensible method of keeping him informed of his whereabouts. It is not necessary to peer out at stations seeking to make out dim numbers or names on posts and walls. Suspended from the celling in the middle of each car is a large-scale map of the system with a tiny electric bulb at each station. When the train approaches a station the bulb for that station flashes on, and remains lighted until the train starts again. New York has more than 300 miles of subway«4rack and this will be materially increased when the new independent subway system is placed in commission. In both London and Paris the underground trackage Is close to 200 miles. In Chicago the construction of a passenger sutftvay has been discussed for many years but at present only surface and elevated lines are In use. Chicago has a possible nucleus for a subway system in Its almost unique freight tunnel system. Under the streets of the business section of the city exists a gridiron of 50 miles of tunnel, six feet wide and seven and a half feet deep. On two-foot tracks in these small tunnels a busy railway traffic is carried on every day while few Chicagoans are aware of its existence. By the system freight is delivered to the basements of stores, and thousands of tons of ashes and rafuse are removed annually. day until Monday with Mrs. Bertha ______ fch.
