BERLIN v. LONDON.
If present indications are to go for anything, London will have to Kjok to her laurels or she will have to give place to Berlin as the larged and most populous city in the world. Two prizes of each have just been awarded by the Municipal Council ol Berlin to a couple of architects who were successful in a competition for producing adequate plans for the expansion oi the city. Berlin has at present, including immediate suburbs, a population rf three millions, but it is proposed to transform the capital into an agglomeration of six millions of inhabitants. The project indicates an increase of radius from 25 to 30 miles, and provides for the preservation of woods, the laying down of railways, and other means of rapid communication, the mapping out of broad avenues, and the construction of hygienic buildings, rendering Berlin equal, if not superior, to Loudon in vastness and population, but very much handsomer, cleaner, and more comfortable.
