that of the steam tram is oxcellent. ougines are driven by compressed stonin, and are filled at the stations from immense genorting boilers. There is, consequently, and absence of smoke and sparks, which means more comfort for. the passengers. As the route is along the principal thorough- faros, and the charges are moderato, the railway system is utilised by all glasses of the community, with the result that the company pays a good dividend, and the alares sland at a fairly high rate, although, the capital and delicature atures are not balanced by any reservo fund.

The Electrio Tramway Company has not been so successful in either its management or financial results. Thushareholders havo received no dividend, and, according to re- port, it serine only a question of how long it will be before the company is alsorbed into the older one, which, it is understood, is willing to purchase her as soon as the price is fixed definitely.

nature of an experiment, the object being to keep the ranin lines in the hands of the State exclusively. A year or so ago, the Semarang Choribon Company, after hav- ing propared her estimates and traces,

applied for permission to extend her line from Cheribon, eo as to meet the Slate line at Poerwakarta, but the roquest was refused. Now, however, the extension is being made by Government, and in another three years it will be possible for Cheri- bonners to ride through to Batavia, with- out using either boats or post-horseS.

PROVIDING FOR MILITARY PURPOSES.

It is in this way the State provides for herself for military purposes. By taking train from Batavia to Weltoyteden one can journey to Nordwyk, the commercial dis- trict, or on to the Koningsplein, the open sture in the centre of the suburb-the Jungs of Batavin.

•

This most select quarter of Batavia has of lute years been encroached upon by in dustrial undertakings, so that its ancient charactor is altered. Still, the plain is yet two miles in radius, and it romains the aristocratic contrum of Java, notwithstand- ing the fact that the Governor-General and the Secretary live in Buitenzorg. The plain is quite gly, being uncultivated absolutely-a momes in the wet season, and arid in dry weather. It is used as on apology for golf links; two plots are reserved for the English and Dutch Tennis

It is round and round the plain that the "Livor Brigade" take their walks morning and eroning. It is significant tout the Dutch do not turn out so early in the afternoon as the English do. They prefer to come out at about seven o'clock, and
