Perpendicular Real Estate.

Apropos Of earth, they tell a good
story of Judge jackson. He went out
to one of the new towns of the far west,
which is built on side-hill. Real estate
was booming and real estate spectators
fiocked around him. One of them con-
Quoted him to a lot about as desirable
for q residence as perpendicular wall
and said: There's tho place for you
Only 1000. Amt it fine.'
''Ah, but it's 50 steep in topography
and price.
That's just it, said the real estate
man. You see that lot below it! Well,
the man who owns it will have to have
dirt to fill it up, and he'll give you
5000 for the earth graded from your
lot
The next day another real estate man
said: I'm show you piece of property.
There's fortune in it. Look there!
and he pointed down toward the lot be-
low the side-hill that the other specu.
lator had offered him.
s.Yes, but look at that lot above it, ;
urged Judge Jackson.
That's just it, replied tho speculator
ssThe man who owns it will give you
$1,000 for place to dump the dirt whcr
he grades down his lot"
The Judge did not buy any perpen

they have lost caste with the honorable

The desire to be mentioned, to become

Concerning Aluminium.
,D,.morpst,S Mayayinel

We can now boast the tallest monu-
ment in the world, but after all it is
only the monolith Of Egypt reproduced.
1t is simply very tall chimney, and
has little art significance. The only
new and striking thing about it is its
cap, which is made of aluminum-a
metal which has very rare properties.
This cap weighs 1l7a ounces, and is
brilliantly FURNISHED. This polish ought
to last for centuries, as aluminium is in
Oxidi able.
This metal is now made by cheap
process in Pennsylvania, and could it Le
produced for as low price as steel, it
would revolutionize many branches Of
industry, for it is as light as
glass, as tough as steel, and will take
as high q polish as 81 ver. The great
air-ship Of tho future will, it is believed,
be Of this valuable metal he ause of its
lightness, strength and imperneability.

Wealth Of Our Jewish Population.


The growth of the numbers and wealth
of our Jewish population has not at
tracted the attention it deserves. 1t is
known that some 100000 frequent the
synagogues, but there are many free
thinking jews, and there must be at
least 100000 among our population.
They have as a sec; grown enormously
rich. The average wealth of the jew is
four fold that OF our citizens. They
arc moEopo o.izing the most lucrative oc-
cupallons Of the country. They are
bankers, merchants, wholesale dealers.
They swarm at the exchanges, but
rarely make their appearance in any
productive employment.
A Jewish farmer, mechanic or laborer
is as difficult to find as white black
bird. The signs Of the business firms in
the commercial cities of the nation con-
tain the names of more Jews than any
other sect or nationality; indeed they
monopolize the Wholesale trade of several
important cities. The Jewish race is a
wonderful one, but SO far its amazing
property in this country does not seem
to have excited any unusual attention.
