five Enormozs Buildings Intended fes
Private ites!dence-, but Unfit.
A morning contemporary
as a matter of news that Mrs. Hopkins
Searles offers her residence on Califor-
MIA street for sale. 1t might have add
ed, as a companion item, that the Pill
grim Fathers had landed on Plymouth
Rock. There has been no time for
many years that the Hopkins mansion
on California street has not been for
sale, though, if public rumor be be
heved, the owner has not been distract
ed by many offers to purchase. 1t is,
in fact, difficult to conceive who could
want TO become its possessor at any
price.
The spectacle of Mob Hill. with pala-
tial piles browning its ridge, fills the
stranger who visits California with mild
amazement. There are five big build
ings there which were built as private
residence. and are as unfit for that use
as could be conceived. They were APP
parently modelled on the plan Of the
palaces Of the Old World. which were
erected to be the homes Of feudai
barons and all their ~retainers. In the
middle ages every nobleman supported
a swarm Of dependents. He had 10
find quarters for them, and Of course
his lodgings had TO be large. In our
day rich men do not maintain much
larger households than their neighbors.
Individually they cannot occupy
mone than a dozen rooms. and as many
win lodge all the servants they can en-
ploy. More rooms than this are Of no
possible use. Conceived i'm ostentation,
their destiny is TO become lumber clos
cts. In the old feudal castles of Europe
the modern possessor is lost; it gives
him a nightmare to wander through q
a Of rooms which are never occu.
pied a v by mice and spiders, and he
fees TO take refuge in a bedroom and
parlor at club or hotel. IL must be
much the same in the mansions of Mob
Hill
II they have any destiny It must be
to become some day public buildings
museums or hospitals. Even for that
use they would have to be donated by
their owners, for the city could build
suitable edifices for less money than
sy would cost If they were bought.
1t seems odd that men with the sa
;acity required to build a t~ransconti-
mental railroad and to acquire vast
fortunes should not have understood
that a house that is too big may be as
inconvenient as a house that is too
small. A very small quantity Of shell
ter is all that the richest and greatest
Of US can want. A bedroom, a dress
ing room, a reception room, a parlor, a
dining room, a library, and perhaps a
billiard room-what more than this can
CrUsus occupy, though he counts his
riches by the hundreds Of millions.
Yet rich men 60 on piling stone upon

A hit OF Art Spoiled.

A Bostonian who has returned from
= trip to England tells a story which is
worth repeating. He says: 81 went
into the store of ar art collector with a
friend Of mine, and the owner. think
ing I knew something of painting,
showed me some good things. Among
these was a pretty little seaside scene,
which he considered one Of the best
things in the place. | could not help
admiring the work, but when / told
him the painting, although good. had
been spoiled by the artist. he looked at
me In establishment and asked how.
Well, you know. that artist has put his
name on the top Of a rock which
formed a large part of that pretty
picture. | told him that In America

advertise their stuff That settled it,
and Mr.. Art Collector said he would
have that name wiped out that day.

The great storehouse Of the worlds
water is the ocean, which covers four
ifths Of the globes surface. In some
places the ocean has never been sound
ed, even by a line more than five miles
in length. II is supposed these great
depths are without plants, because all
plants require some light, and though
light is said TO penetrate sea water
farther than fresh, yet we can scarcely
imagine there is a ray Of light al the
depth of five miles. Some of the sea
plants have stems at least 300 feet il
length. In some parts Of the sea we
are told that the eye can discern the
bottom al four or five hundred feet.
1t is a very pretty sight TO look down
and view a forest beneath the waves.
1t is sometimes a blaze of gold, scarlet

Many people have been told that

smallest and the most quiet city in the
United States, as she has a population,

souls, and covers a territory Of only
1900 acres.
Her boundaries are a mile and a half

ell, a full board Of aldermen and a com
plete city government. There are Of

There is no doubt that If every large
passenger steamer vas provided with
several search lights many dangers
would be avoided and the yearly loss
Of life at sea would be greatly lessened.
This statement applies specially to emf
grant steamers, in which so many lives
are in jeopardy in times Of danger. 1t
has been recommended that the equip
ment Of such vessels with search lights
should be made compulsory by the gov
ernments of the countries under whose
flags they sail and at whose ports they
touch.
As an instance of the simplicity Of a
search light outfit, and the advantageous
use 10 which it can be put. it is only
necessary to look to the navigation of
the Suez canal Vesse1- unprovided

Plete plant when entering the canal
either at Suez or Port Said. The whole
arrangement can be set up in an hour or
two. and the steamer can then 90

every ship in the canal had to tie up to
the banks at night, and the passage
often occupied fifty or sixty hour

The Largest Catch.

Telling fish stories over about the
court house has~suggested the great
catch made by Uppinghouse at Canton
many years ago. The time and the
amount caught were discussed consider
ably, but no definite conclusion was
reached until a few days ago Mr.. Miller
wrote to Frank Uppinghouse for infor-
nation. The catch wa made in March,
1868, near Canton. With one large
seine@O0 feet long-they penned the
fish in a chute and caught them out
with smaller seines. To one firm, Cur
tbs, Of st. Louis, they sold 125 t~ierces,
netting them over 81, 600. This was by
far the greatest catch yer made before
