COOKING THE OPIUM.

"Oh, they have plenty to eat. They would
grow fat in the streets where a dog would
starve. They are so used to bad smells that
pure air would stifle them"
The secret is explained by the mortality

tenement dwellers as possess the most extraor-
binary vitality at birth live through the sec

On the third floor we found u man and wo-
man ahead of us making energetic efforts to
open the door of a tenement. They succeed

fully dozen Italian laborers half dressed.

and are so avaricious that they sleep on the
stairs outside, and give up their rooms to as

This is the third time we have caught them

On the fourth floor we found another
chance to use the cameras to good advantage.
The occupants of u rear tenement had forgot
ten to bolt the door, and we marched in upon
them before the ''bossn-as the head of the
household is called-could remedy this neg

than ten feet square. Without wasting any
time the cameras were adjusted and the fash

1t was now past o'clock in the morning.
The work of the expedition had been accom-
plished, and all of its members were more or
less overcome by the bad air that had filed
their lungs for more than two hours.
LESS than q block from here" said the
sergeant, Gin the basement of a tumble down
shanty, I'll show you as clean and neat

had enough of the Italians; come and COM

"ChineseI" calculated an inexperienced
member of the expedition, with u shudder,
why, they eat rats"
The policemen laughed and led the way to
a basement door near by, on which they
knocked with their clubs It E'as opened by
4 smiling Chinansan dressed in purple silk
frock, trousers of the same and cork soled
shoes as white and clean as sheet of paper.
He conducted his visitors through q narrow
passage way, carpeted with mating, into q
room probably eighteen feet square. Part Of
the way around the stones of the basement
walls WIS visible between sections of pine
wainscotting, but it was brushed clean of
dust, ard not cobweb could be seen any
where. The floor was covered with mating,
as were also seven or eight low couches scat
tered about the room.
"You see no bugs or vermin here" said the
sergeant, triumphantly.
There were no bad smells either. The at
mosphere of the room could not be called
fresh and pure, though there was nothing
disagreaable about it, although q pungent
cdor oppressed the senses from the moment
of entering. This odor was presently ex-
planned to the uninitiated, for the place was
an opium den in which four Cinnamon were
lying in state of stupefaction. The man
who had admitted US resumed his preparations
for smoke, cooking the opium over the blaze
of fantastic little lamp and testing the con-
dition of accomplished pipes used by opium
smokers. A smile of pleasant anticipation
lighted up his sallow face, and thus the flash
light and the cameras caught him.
On the faces of those who were fully under
the influence Of the drug were smiles-smiles
of realization. They were not all pleasant
smiles. Some Of the sleepers grinned and

morning, these tenement jewellers are rudely

the which, il not speedily acceded to, are
followed by heavier rafting Of clubs, the
breaking in of bolted doors, and, may be, the
arrest of the offending tenant, his family and
his quests"
This is u proceeding which the tenement
dwellers bring upon themselves by their neg
Iect to obey the law, which prescribes that
every man, woman and child must have at
least 400 cubic feet of space to eat and sleep
in. This means that room fifteen feet long,
ten feet broad and eight feet high may serve
as the abode of three persons, and no more.
Daylight inspection is Of no avail, for most
of the dwellers will DO in the streets, and
those who are not are much too cunning to
be caught telling the truth. The only re-
0SScourse of the board of health is to pounce
down on them in the dead of night when

cursions has been to greatly remedy the evil;
but, in order TO insure obedience TO the law,
it las been found necessary to keep up the
practice at irregular intervals, and not infre-
uuently a fragrant case of overcrowding is
brought to light.
The latest of these crusades against law
breaking tenement jewellers was headed by
Mr.. Charles G. Wilson, president of the
board of health. II was an occasion OF more
than ordinary interest, for a flash light and
two cameras had been included in the record
ing equipment, and promised to perpetuate
some startling scenes. One of the cameras
was in the hands of DR.. Martin, chief chemist
of the health department, and the other was
the inseparable companion of Julius Cham

An officer was sent hurriedly to the roof
to guard the scuttle and another was left at

crowd that was rapidly gathering. There
was already a commotion in the second floor
