fection by which, while simply carried IN
the pocket, II will accurately measure the
distance over which person may walk
IN tho course OF IN hour or day, OF any
period of time, longer Or shorter. The
mechanism, somewhat 0n the principle Of

Another contest has sprung up over the will
of the public spirited gentleman who wished
TO build and endow n College OF Music III the
Central Park, and the most sanguine be-
levers in that scheme must begin to despair
of ever seeing it carried out according to the
intentions of the protector. The magnificent
proportons in which it was first displayed
TO the world have already shrunk great
deal. We no longer look for the estab-
lshment here of one of the great art
institutions of the world. We shall be
bappy if we get q modest and practical school /;
boppy if there is enough left after all these
litipations to build anything at all TO com
memorate the benevolent founder and promote
American musical culture. If Mr.. Wood is
fated. in the world beyond, to watch the
ouarrels over his will, and the gradual cur
tailment and Disagreement of his splendid de-
signs he may be supposed to lament the
untoward circumstances which forbade him to
build the college himself, and watch in person
over the execution Of his wishes. 1t is never
safe to leave the realization OF plans for the
nublic good to the piety of heirs and the
chances of the courts. This Is truth which
tbe originator of the Women's Hotel, too,
would take to heart if he could come
back and see the Working Girls Home en-
riched with barber-shOps and bar-rooms and
decorated with cuspadOres We have no
