be paid to the stock, and this must be done I'D
addition to the cost of keeping the West Shore
in operation. Probably Mr. Vanderbilt himseI
will hardly deny that some of the expressions
which he used were rather extravagant There
was some public demand for q new road along
the line which the West Shore now occupies,
especially on the west bank of the Hudson
River, and whether that demand was sufficient
to support separate road or not, it will prob
ably add something to the revenue of the COM
bined corporation, as co.hpared with the former
revenue of the New-York Central alone.
The question is whether it will add as much
as the cost OF maintaining in good condition q
separate line of road. and a separate organza-
ton. After ALL the cost of operating this con-
ccrn and tine payment of 50, 900, 900 interest on
its bonds will have to be borne by the traffic, or
else by the New-YOrk Central. III the West
Shore secures business enough to support itself,
it must take away some business from the
Central, and so lessen its revenue. If, on the
other hand, the West Shore does not secure
business enough to support itself, the deficiency
will have to be made up by the New York
Central, in order to retain control of the prop
erty. The practical result is that tho business
vi INC country MS I'D support III soiHc way Incsc
two roads instead of one. AS for the people
who are protesting so loudly that the business
community is badly treated, that it needed a
competing line, and that it ought not to be de-
privcd of that advantage. it may be- as well to
say tnat this sort of growing has little
practical meaning. The business men of New
York have never wanted competition with the
New York Central enough TO keep the Erie out
of bankruptcy. When the West Shore WAS
built and put in operation, they did not want
competition with the New York Central enough
to send their business to the new road it they
could get as low or shade lower rates over
Mr.. Vanderbilt's lines. The people who will
not make the slightest effort or sacrifice to sup
port competing line when they have one have
less right than anybody else to complain when
the competition ceases.

Tramp WHO MistOOk a Hash

He had been living on crusts

"Here, give this man some sort
of meal, l suppose he will be
glad to fill up on most anything"

Why Mountain Air is HeaIthful.


One Of the best qualities Of noun
tain air, that which makes it so
delightful to the weary denizens Of
plains, is its freshness, and the
higher they go the fresher they
find it. Swiss savants have ascer.
tanned by observations made at
sundry Alpine stations, tina. for
every l4S netres Of altitude the
the summer temperature Of their
mountains dimiuishes one degree
centigrade.
The two great advantages of a
mountain climate are the freshness
Of the air and the intensity Of the
suns action. The second of these
influences, as touching the human
organism, is no lessimpOrtantth than
the first, for the solar radiation
penetrates our clothing, comes in
contact with the skin, and acts on
the blood. A few weeks stay at a
heigh. Of 5000 1000 feet above sea
level brings back color to the pullid
face and dyes the cheeks a healthy
brown.
Another popularity Of mountain
air is the relatively little moisture
which il contains. As we 60 high.
er the humidity diminishes in a
ratio more rapid than the pressure
Of the atmosphere. When we
reach an altitude Of $500 feet we
have below us one.half of the total
amount Of yapOr our atmosphere is
estimated to contain. The hy-
grometric condition of the air at
these heights is subject to rapid
changes. A fog, with its cold and
damp, will often be dispersed in a
few minutes by a Whit Of warm
air. Local cauSes may however,
render some mountains moister
than others. For instance, the
monks Of the Great st. Bernard do
not complain ofthe cold-Lhat they
can keep at bay-yet they suffer 80
much from rheumatism caused by
the clouds that roll almos. con-
s!antly round the Hospice, that
after a few years. service they are
compelled 10 go down to the Mar.
tigny to recruit their health. But
Mont Jou, from its position, is
much exposed to the action Of the
south wind, which comes charged
with moisture from the north Ital.
in plains, Health must be sought
at lower altitude than 5000 feet.
