The day has arrived when “Amer

NEW YORK. Dec. 12—Americans are
the greatest users of street cars* In the
world and figures which have Just been
compiled show that this city is the
)} | greatest oar-rldlng community In the
country. The average numbers of rides
for each one of Its , Inhabitants
men. woman and children, during the
S it year was 317. This gives a to-
I of 1,3*0,771,165 rides during the
year, or nearly a tenth of the total
for the whole country which la about
fifteen billion. It is almost equal to
the entire number of passengers han
dled by tramway system of England
and Wales. In other words th* aver
age yearly expenditure of each New
Yorker for' car fare haa reached the
very considerable sum of gl5.SK while
the total amount spent In the shape of
the billion and a third of nickels col
lected by conductors every year Is 366,-
518,877. Every day 3,500,000 passen
gers are carried, the great majority
during the morning and evening rush
hours. In spite of the Inadequacy or
the existing facilities to meet the pres
ent demand, the riding habit Is getting
a stronger grip on the city every day.
About* 150,000 more persons now rldo
each day than In 1006. As against
the averar* of 317 rides a year for
each person In the past year, five years
ago was only 26G rides. The total
length of the street railroads covered
In the figures Is 736 mil?# or greater
than that of many Important steam
systems. Including sidings and turn
outs and reducing third and fourth
track to single track mileage, tho to
tal length of track Js 1.6J2 miles. In
spite of the walls from the various
car lines and their recent abolishment
of practically all transfers, the figures
for the past year show a slight in-
create In the earning* of each car per
mile, the figure as given being Just
a fraction under 26 centa per car mile.
Fifth Avenus Loses Prestige.
The announcement that two more
blocks of Fifth avenue In tho heart
of what was only a few yeara ago the
most exclusive section of wealthy
homes In the city are to be converted

this ground-scraper will be the plmr.lng
of the boiler room And heating plant

new sensation even for New York,
when this building is completed, to

street level will be devoted to busi

acres In space. Thera wlH not he suf

Passing Two Famous Vessels.
Within a single week New YoTk haa
lost two of its most famous marine
possessions, esch of which has been
talked of In every country in which
English Is spoken. After fifty years of
continuous service the Bandy Hook
Lightship has extinguished forever tho
light which for half a century has been
the guiding mark Jor incoming ma
riners. The retiring vessel Is the third
to mark this spot, having been In
service for sixteen years. Lightship
No. 2 served only eight years,
whll. the first one held down the Job
for more than a quarter of a century.

The recent troubles of the Bronx

threc-and-a-haif-ton hippo which were
followed with Interest by Now Yorker*
for nearly a week have Just been du
plicated by the police in their efforts
to suppress tho latest—and It is to bo
hoped the last—of the Salome dances
which have afflicted theater-goera dur
ing the past few months. This par
ticular lithe end willowy Salome who
was billed as Happy Louise, was en
gaged in Introducing the celebrated
dance to tho denizens of tho Bowery
and the difficulties of the police arose
from the fact that she was almost In
