"BOBBY-LIGHTS."
FRENCH INNOVATION.
LONDON, April 2.
Once upon a time, it was suggested that the London traffic policc should be provided with rear red lights in the interests of their own safety, says the Paris correspondent of the. "NewsChronicle." The idea was not .acted, upon but the Paris police will shortly be equipped with small electric lamps, attached to their helmets and connected with an accumulator carried at the waist, so that, when they are doing point duty at night, they may be clearly visible toi motorists. The neat kepi cap, which gave a dapperness to the French police, will be replaced by a dark blue helmet with a white border and band.
