Everybody goes to New York and nearly
everybody stops at hotel. George Alfred
Townsend, who has inc house of his
own and lives in it, looks about extensively
among the hotels, in the way of interview
ing people and collecting information land
he usually imparts more than he receives)
and he has made an interesting statement
lin the Tribune) as to the small commu-
nifty which moves in and out of the city
daily. Mr.. Townsend reports l68 hotels,
which are named in the City Directory
and it is estimated by him that they have
an average of $4,000 transient guests
daily. Col. Carr the veteran clerk of the
Fifth Avenue, figures that the transienis
at 40 leading hotels average 5000 a day.
Mr.. Joseph Lennon, who reports the hotel
arrivals for the morning papers, confirms
this estimate. The regular boarders are
not included in this calculation. They
must be two or three times
as many. Mr.. Townsend counted,
a few. days ago, 1877 arrivals on
one day at the Fifth Avenue. In ex.
tremely busy seasons Messrs. Hitchcock
4 Darling have had as high as 275 arri-
walls in a single day, and every one Of
them has been properly cared for The
average expenditure Of transient guest
directly for hotel Accommodations is about
"a day. The price at the Fifth Avenue
is $5 day--or more, according to rooms.
This would make over $4,000 a day at
the forty leading hotels, or over 81, 400, 900
q year. We give the closing portion Of
Mr. Townsends most interesting pars-
graph, entire:
But the items Of other service, the money
paid to the barber. the bar, the uewsdealsr,
the cigAr-stand, the billiard-room, the hack
man, the walters and so on, will bring
kuee' eAPonoes up W 20 OF 81 d6y. Then
what is spent in the general trade of the city
foots up to an enormous sum. One hundred
snd fifty packages q day are now sent to The
Filth Avenue Hotel for guests who have been
out shopping. They represent an aggregate
value that cannot well be estimsted, but must
be enormous. II is 80 at all the hotels. The
number OF persons who drift in and out of
the lobsies ofs big hotel is surprising. A
count was recently kept at the m ain entrance
Of the Fifth Avenue, and disclosed the tact
that $4,000 persons passed there going in or
coming out in one day. This did not take
into consideration the persons using the
Twenty-third and Twenty fourth street or the
ladies' entrances. There were 1000 persons
BY count passed in aud out of the main en-
trance Of the Hoffman House one day last
week between 10 O'Clock in the morning and
midnight.

The Winds Direction


That the changing of the direction
Of the wind is due to the shifting OF
situations of greater heat upon the
earth Is substantially proved by the
fact that in certain regions OF the
earth's surface. where the situations OF
the greatest heat and cold do not alter
the direction in which they lie to each
other, the wind does not change, but
always blows in the same direction
from one day to another, and all the
year round. This occurs in the great
open spaces of the ocean. where there
is no land to get heated up by the
sunshine Of the day and to get cool by
the scattering of the heat at night. In
those spaces for vast breadth OF many
hundred miles the sun shines down
day after day upon the surface OF the
sea, heating the water most along the
mid-ocean track which lies most inn
mediately beneath its burning rays rs
IL passes across from east to west.
This midway track of the strongest
sunshine crosses the wide ocean as q
belt or zone that spreads some way to
either side OF the equator. Through
out this midway track tho cooler and
heavier air on either hand drifts in from
the north and from the south, and then
rises up, as it becomes heated by the
sun, where the two currents meet. In
both instances, however, in conse-
quence Of the spinning round of the
earth, the advancing wind acquires q
westward a. we'll ~ an equatorial
drift. Tho air-current, as il approaches
the midway equatorial zone where the
onward movement OF the sea-covered
surface Of the earth is performed with
the velocity Of q thousand miles an
hour, does not Immediately acquire this
full rate of speed, and lags back upon
the ocean, so that 1t appears as drift
towards the west as we'll as towards
the equator.
On the north side Of the equator the
wind blows all the year round from the
northeast, and on the south side from
the southeast, both in the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans. These steady and un-
changing ocean winds are called the
trade winds, on account Of the great
service they render to ships carrying
merchandise across those portions OF
the sea. In sailing from England to
the Cape of Good Hope, through the
entire length of the Atlantic Ocean,
ships, before they reach the equator,
have to pass over broad space. where
strong winds are always blowing stead
lily from the northeast. That is the
region of the northeast trades. Then
they traverse space near to the
equator itself, where the northeast
wind ceases to blow, and where the
air is very still and calm. and they
afterwards come to region to the
south of the equator, where strong
winds are continually blowing from the
southeast. That is known as the re-
| gion of the southeast trades -CasseH S
| Magazine.

The Building Committee at Springfield, re-
ports that the lumber for the erection of a
building in which to hold the Republican
State Convention has been contracted for at
the rate OF $l2.S7 per 1000 feet, and that
about 10000 feet will be required and that
the building will cost not far from $l,7OO.
No small city can afford this expenditure,
every year, for the sake of having a State
Convention. The bubble will soon burst

endure with fortitude the expenditure
which Springfield makes toward the State
Convention all will be well. There will

The State Journal OF Monday has this
to say of one of our citizens:
Ex-senator Thomas J. Pringle, of Spring
field, one of the leaders in the delegation that
captured the convention. is spoken OF for
Lieutenant Governor. No better man could
be put on the ticket.
Mr.. Pringle appreciates the kind things
which are being said of him by the news
papers of the State but he wishes us to say
that he is not candidate for the position
mentioned. Were he nominated for the
place Of State Senator we have no doubt
he would accept.

The funniest case of absent-minded-
ness l ever saw occurred at church
fair some years ago, where patent
ash-sifter was on sale. The minister
was very anxious to sell it, and to show
an expectant crowd how admirably it
worked, ne got hodful Of hot ashes
right from the furnace and poured them
in the hopper. The thing worked with
a crank like a coffee-mill, and the
preacher seemed to think it great fun
grinding. Then, with his face radiant
with delight at the prospect Of selling
the machine, he tFiumphantly pulled
out the box which the ashes had drop
ped into, when, 10! there was his new
silk hat which he had put there for safe
keeping in the early part of the even
ing. You can imagine how that preach
er looked when he emptied it of the hot
ashes.
