taxi-cab, which, if the hansom 

 was the gondola, is certainl}' 

 the motor-launch of the streets 

 — not so picturesque, but far 

 more efficient. Taxi fares in 

 London are low ; a ride can be 

 had for 8d., and the twopenny 

 additions mount up but slowly ; 

 but the real secret of the success 

 of the motor-cab. which ac- 

 counts for so many more of 

 them being on the streets than 

 there ever were hansoms, is due 

 to the way in which ladies use 

 them. They do this because the 

 taximeter tells them the exact 

 fare, and there is no question of 

 altercation with the driver at the 

 end of the ride, which, with 

 ladies, was a regular occurrence 

 in the old days. The type of 

 driver has changed, too, with 

 the vehicle. The middle-aged, 

 somewhat convivial Jehu, whose 

 language would often render a 

 bargee speechless, has gone for 

 ever, and is replaced by younger 

 and smarter men, who must rely 

 entirely upon their own dex- 

 terity in navigating the crowded 

 streets ; men who cannot afford 

 to risk losing their nerve by 

 riotous living. Recently the last 

 of the old three-horse 'buses 

 which used to lumber through 

 the streets of Paris has disap- 

 peared, and ere long the fiacre, 

 with its mangey steed, which 

 seems often to be prevented from 

 falling only by the shafts, will 

 have become a memory. The ad- 

 vent of the taxi and the motor- 

 'bus has made the streets of Paris 

 more dangerous than ever, for 

 drivers there have a happy dis- 

 regard for the rule of the road, 

 so rigidly enforced in London 

 and other great cities. 



Although there is really little 

 danger if care be taken, no one 

 ought to travel without having 

 his life adequately insured, es- 

 pecially if others are dependent 

 on him. To say this here is rather 

 preaching to the converted, as 

 Australians carry more insur- 

 ance per head than any other 

 nationals. All the same, few
