Sorao impression of tho effect of tho war on business lifo in the city of London may bo gained from tho fact that there have been withdwiwn from the activo service of one great bank no fewer than 3700 men, and that, in addition to those wounded and missing, as many as 320 have been killed. This bank has now on its staff 3600 women, "who are doing their work in a most excellent way." Some are acting as managers of small offices, other women aro cashiers, nnd "others are occupying very important'positions in different departments." Where Uio United Stntcs has only ten multi-millionaires with ,£25,000,000 each, Great Britain has seventy-five; where America has nino with .£20,000.000 thoro are sixty-eight in the United Kingdom. \merica leads tho .£15,000,000 to ,£20,030,000 class with forty-five to Great Britain's fourteen. . . .. A Western American motorist has what probably is the most extraordinary body a chassis has evor carried. It was hewed out of a single section of a giant redwood, and the interior is fitted up as a caravan. Tho timber when cut mo* 22 feet long, nnd weighed 40 tons. Pu> ished it weighed less than MMle.
