Fifteen Million Dollars an Acre.


A New York corresp pondent states that
in the more common streets of New York
land is worth from $3.50, 900 to $3.50, 600
per acre. In the best part of Broad
way its value is increased to So. 900. 600
per acre; but in the vicinity of Wall
Street its value is immensely increased,
because this locality is the money heart
1of America. The land on which the
.Drexel Building stands cost its present
owners ut the rate of Sl4, ,000, 600 per
Iacre. 1t occupies the corner of Wall
and Broad Streets, which may be con
isidered the most valuable corner on this
continent and yet, when was a Broad
Street clerk in 1910. this very place was
occupied by a hat store. The correspond
ing value OF property in this neighbor-
ihoed has been illustrated by the recent
sale OF the corner of Broad Street and
Exchange place, which was at the rate
of Sl5,5O0,000 per acre. Hence the
iLrexel lot was none too dear. In fact,
these dazzling figures are justified by
the immensity of the transactions which
occur here daily. Almost all the rail-
roads on the continent Except New En-
gland are managed within 800 feet of
this spot. and the general pressure of our
:immense financial system gives it value
which few years ago could not hase
been dreamed Of. y

France is probably foremost in prac-
tically imparting to her youth technical
education. Nearly ten years ago a
school was established in Paris where
children not under twelve years of age
were taught cabinet making, iron work,
wood and metal turning. modelling and
engraving on wood and stone. In En-
gland. as well as in France, although
technical instruction does not form a
part of public school education. there are
establishments founded for that purpose,
and considerable rivalry exists between
cities and towns to locally secure these
institutions.

Aids for Dsai Psrsons.

In store window IN Broadway,
where dazzling collection ofspectacles,
variety of ear-trumpets, and several
dozen opera-glasses are displayed,
number of ordinary-looking canes and
commonplace-looking umbrella stands
in the corner. A placard affixed to one
of the canes designates it as an acoustic
cane. Another placed on the umbrella
eonveys the information that with the
assistance of the acoustic umbrella
deaf person can hear conversation when
the person speaking is at a distance A
second inspection of the canes after
reading the placards discloses the fact
/ that they consist of bamboo sticks with
1 Vanished black metal top and very
/ small horizontal piece for handle.
/ A salesman in the store exhibited
cane to a Tribune reporter, and twisting
4 it i'm his hand disclosed a row of holes
encircling the black metal. Placing the
same horizontal piece in his ear, IN the
cay and natural way that some men
put the handle OF q cane insthe mouth,
he assured the reporter that his voice
was so loud that he could hardly endure

through the horizontal handle. This con-
nected with an ear-trumpet ingenious

They come in and ask to look at ear
trumpets for friends. We know that
they want them for themselves. People
who are hard of hearing are just as
numerous as persons who are near
sighted. If the wish to ignore deafness
was not so pronounced, ear-trumpets
would be as common as spectacles.
