To the Editor Of the EVENING STAR:
Thanks are due Capt Mahan, our new assist
ant engineer, for his industry In looking up the
law in regard to the roads In the immediate
vicinity Of the city. And now that the Com
missiOners are informed, 1t Is to be hoped that
they will recommend to Congress suitable
appropriations to make them of such width as
the law provides-''rot less than 1Jty nor more
ttaa one hundred feet" AS stated in THE STAR
Of the 18th utimO, many of our public high
ways, and where there Is much travel, are but
thirty feet wide-notably the river road, leading
from UniontOwn to Bennings, which should be
at least double that width to afford the proper
facility for ingress and egreSs: traversing 1t
does, in many respects, the best and most
desirable part of the District. In point OF fact,
however, TO be more exact and definite, instead
Of occupying all the narrow and contracted
space of thirty feet, owing to the niggardly
appropriations 1t has been in many places
reduced TO the width of a single vehicle; and at
this season of the year II is beautifully t?)
fringed with weeds and bushes, almost over
tapping It The reader will bear In mind that
this road (sO-called, but really nothing more
than by.way or path Is so near that it is
almost within the shadow of the dome of the
Capitol. Such a road could hardly be found in
the vicinity Of the meanest and most UMPIRE
tentious county town In the United States. 1t
Is to be hoped that Capt Mahans timely dis
covery will result In the powers that be" look
ing more than heretofore beyond the city
limits. A little more energy on the part of our
District Commissioners will make the suburbs
compare respectfully and favorably, as they
should, with our model capital city.

A Newspaper COnundrum.


Newspaper men have often asked themselves
a question, but up to the present no one has
been found who could answer 1t. A paper sets
off q certain number Of its columns for adver-
tisement and to that space the business man.
ager looks for the revenue which is to keep the
wheels in motion. That space has a specified
value. and as many people constantly take adj
vantage OF 1t, its worth Is thereby proven with
out argument. Yet, notwithstanding this,
eight out Of every ten persons who insert an
advertisement ask that notice In the reading
the other. There is only one man out OF all the
subscribers who takes any particular delight in
that paragraph known as the notice, and that
Is the man whose name 1t contains, and he
smiles in sort Of deliriuln OF bliss.
Now, when the editor goes out TO buy he does
not, after making his purchases, ask that two
dollars worth Of articles be thrown In. The
grocer would kick the man out of his store who
habitually asked to have q pound of sugar
thrown in for every quarter OF pound OF
pepper he purchased. The hardware man
would be aghast If he was compelled to throw
in pound Of nails for every ten cents worth
of putty he sold. The dry goods man would go
out OF business II he put In y yard OF cloth or q
parcel for every bit Of calico Maria Abigail
Simpkins happened To purchase.
ness is that the large advertisers do not ask for
the extra, the complimentary paragraph being
merely given as an act of courtesy for their
large trade in printers ink, while the man who
spends 81 q month has his feelings wounded II
he does not receive q notice worth $3.50 in
hard cash, every time he favors the paper with
his custom.

A New England Apple Orchard.
From the Boston Post, Sept IL

Mr.. Prescott Williams, OF Williamsburg, Mass,
Is the owner Of an immense apple orchard,
probably the largest in the New England states
The orchard was set out nearly 20 years ago,
and has been In bearing for many years, al
though the present crop is the largest ever
grown. Mr.. Williams estimates the crop at
$500 barrels: Three hundred and sixty-two
trees, IT Is estimated, will yield six barrels of
apples each, Of which 800 are Baldwins, 18
Northern Spys Is Hubbardston's Nonesuch.

ings, Congress, 4 RoXbury Russets, making q
total OF 2, 172 barrels. Hundreds Of trees will
yield one, two, or three barrels, but these are
not included in the count. number OF trees
will give fifteen barrels and others eight or ten
barrels OF apples each. The orchard occupies q
rocky slope OF common New England farming
land When Mr.. Williams began setting aud bud
ding trees many years ago the old farmers
laughed ut him, but he persevered In his plan
and for long time has expended more money
in dressing for his trees than the average
farmer clears tor his entire farm. The orchard
large, fair, and Of brilliant color; the yield is
probably the largest tor the area In the history
Ut New England. The trees are prOpped to
keep the limbs from breaking OF, and the trees
are free from worms, being, protected by
large force Of men will begin picking October /,

Those Clever Greeks.


If you turn a book upside down and look at
the letters, every 8 will seem much smaller at
the bottom than at the top, although when the
book Is properly held, both halves appear the
same size to the eye.
The upper part Of the type that prints the
letter Is made smaller than the lower half to
correct the fault of the eye, which always
Ietter is turned over, this same trick of the sight
makes the difference seem greater than it
really is; and course were it Of the same width
In greater matters, the false report of the eye
Is greater: ~ a taPering monument, like that
Park, were made with perfectly straight sides.
1t would look TO us-fOr, you see, we really can
not trust our own eyes-as II # we're followed
language, its sides would appear concave.
Those clever Greeks, who did SO many mar
velous things In art, thought all this out, and
made their architecture upon principles SO sub
tie and SO comprehensive that we have never
been able to improve on them since. They
found found that their beautiful Doric columns, II
effect OF which have spoken; and SO, with the
most delicate art in the world, they made the
pillar swell little at the middle, and then it
called eatasts. or course it had to be calculated
very slight that 1t can only be detected by deli
cate measurements; but 1t added greatly to the
beauty of the columns and to their effective
ness.
Then the lines which were to look horizontal
had to receive attention. If you look at o long,
perfectly level lire, as the edge of roof for In
stance. 1t has the appearance Of sagging toward
the middle. The Greek architect corrected this
fault by making Ills lines rise q little. The
front of the Parthenon. at Athens, is one hun
dred and one feet three and q half inches long,
and, in this, the rise from the horizontal II
about two and one-eighth inches. In other
words; there is a curvature upward that makes
it a little more than two inches higher in
the center than at the ends, and the
effect of this swelling upward Is to make the
lines appear perfectly level. Indeed this same
Parthenon,-the most beautiful building in the
world,-when deiicately and carefully measured
was found to be everywhere made q little in.
correct, so that it may appear right, which Is
certainly what may be called an architectural
paradox. The graceful columns which seem
TO stand so straight, are made to lean inward a
little, since, If they were perfectly true and
outward. The pillars at the corners slant in:
wal ward more than the Others, and everywhere
in truth a little broader angeled, and lines are
curved In order that they shall appear straight
to the eve.

At one time Of day most children used to be
born shy. We have always been taught this a.
tradition Of the race, and, carrying our men,
cries back half century, we can bear corrob-
orative testimony to the fact. We can remem-
Der feeling very shy ourselves, even at the age
Of seven. We should never have thought OF
speaking till we were spoken to, or coming
without being called, or Of assauiting the CEN
trail plum cake, or of asking the lady on whose
knee we sat how old she was and how much
money she had. There were many pauses in
the conversation when we went into society At
overtures OF acquaintanceship between children
used TO be very slow and tentative; we
remember particularly exchanging sweets
with q four.year-old In . blue sash,
long before we dared ask her what her name

The shy child has disappeared. We have bois-

however, nearly 5000 persons had, in spite of

shortly after o'clock George entered the

down the track, accompanied by heavy showers

been covered, jumped TO the inside, and put

Anglers generally agree that the month from
September is TO October Is represents the
prime of Potomac bass fishing, and just now
baskets are better filled than they have been at
any time during the season. Many local
anglers report good catches, but the fact remains
that the golden days of bass fishing in the
Potomac are past 1t Is AN all-day job now to
accomplish the work which even five years
ago might have been accomplished In a few
hours. Not only do the fish run smaller but
they do not take the hook as we'll. Mr. Jesse
Ciaggett, a well known fisherman, says that
IL Ii OF DO use starting on a go-as-yOu-p please
want bass, the correct thing is To perch your.
self on rock with deep hole near by and re-
main perfectly still. The fish make their way
into the holes as the weather gets cooler A few
four, five and six Founders have been caught
this season, but il Is safe To say that at present
the Potomac Is either Melted or over-fished an q
that the big bass are getting scarce as the
bait, which is saying something.
