The census of the tenement houses in New York throws a flood of light on the moral degradation of that town. But the report also excites wonder, in that the con dition of the city, bad as 1t is in many respects, is not worse. For example, the death rate is high, but the fact that 1t is not high CT speaks volumes for the work of the health board and the sanitary 8 luad which s ,nnected with that body. The population ofNew York is less than. 100000. but this cen sus shows that. in the tenements are 1 1,331,7S3 persons who live in 39,138 houses. Attached to these are g. 346 rear houses in which 56,130 persons live. The "rear houses" is a feature of tenement house life which happily is mainly confined, so far, to the city of New York, but as population becomes more con- gested in other localities the evil is bound to spread.-Alb.

An Ordinance for Franchise to BE
Drawn UP Et Once.
The application of Messrs. Marsh,
Thompson. Maier, Burke and others for
franchise for now telephone company
for Los Angeles was yesterday placed in
the hands of the city attorney to draw
up an ordinance similar in character to
that granted tbs existing telephone
company.
The gentlemen interested in the new
enterprise appeared before the board Of
public works yesterday and stated that
they proposed to uee the Harrison tele-
phone system in the event OF securing a
franchise. Under this system no central
exchange is required az each subscriber
is enabled to make his own connections.
The gentlemen stated that they did not
want any extraordinary privileges but
merely to be placed on the sams footing
as the present company. They stated,
however, that they would not charge
their subscribers bonus for putting in
the telephones and would make con-
siderable reduction in the rates. The
matter will probably come up before the
council on Monday.

Sentative Horses.

Harsh treaEnent, though it stop short
of inflicting physical pain. keeps nerv-
GUS horse in state of misery. On the
other hand, it is perfectly true, as O be-
sotted but intelligent stable keeper once
observed to me, "a kind word for hoss
is as good sometimes as feed of oats"
A single blow may be enough to spoil
racer. Daniel Lambert, founder Of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan fam
lily, was thought as 3-year-old to be
the fastest trotting stallion of his day.
He was a very handsome, stylish, intel
hgent horse, and also extremely sensi.
tive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one Of
the best reinsmen in America, once made
the mistake, through i'll temper or bad
judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert a
severe cut with the whip, and that sin.
gle blow put an end to his usefulness as a
trotter. He became wild and ungovern-
able in harness and remained SO for the
rest of his life.
In dealing with horse more than with
most animals one ought to exercise pa
tience, care and above all the power of
sympathy, so as to know if possible the
real motive of his doing or refusing to
do this or that. To acquire such knowl-
edge and to act upon it when required
is large part Of the ethics of horse.

TENTH STREET HOTEL.
A COMMITTEE OF PROPERTY
OWNERS TALK ABOUT IT.
What Was Done at tho Chamber Of Com,
merce = A Committee Appointed
to Arrange Methods for
PrUcBdures

Pursuant to a call issued this week by
the Tenth-street hotel people, about 80
prominent property owners OF Main
street, and other sections as we'll, met
at the chamber of commerce last night
to take steps looking to the COM pletion
OF that edifice.
Il, w. Pridham was elected chairman
and o. w, Childs, secretary. The meet
ing was fret addressed by United States
Senator Stephen NJ. White, who re-
viewed the organization OF the hotel
project by Messrs. Hammsl & Denker,
now dead. up to the time OF execution
OF judgment for $4,000, obtained by
Mcdonnell & Lewis, and the buying in
oil the property by MrB. Emeline Childs.
He then proceeded to urge the ne
cessity OF pushing the erection of the
hotel to speedy conclusion, and in con-
clusion moved that committee OF five
be appointed to adopt means of proceed
ing with the work.
Mr.. Frank Hicks called attention to
the fact that it would be necessary for
the committee to act at once, as the
chamber Of commerce opens all pro-
posals for sites on April Let.
Judge Bearden was called on to speak,
and said that he would gladly co-operats
with the Main street property owners in
helping the project forward.
M. L. Graf stated that the erection OF
the Main street hotel would be an excel-
lent thing for the city generally and the
Main street property holders in particu-
lar. He urged them to do all they could
to erect it.
On motion of Mr.. Hicks, it was de.
cided to add the chairman to the pro.
posed committee, making six in all. The
following names were then announced
by MIR. Pridham: Messrs. +. D. Motto.
L. johnson, General John II. Mathews,
William q. kerckhoff, jr., and A. Ja-
coby.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call OF the chair, which will piob.
ably be issued for the first OF next week.
The committee assembled after the
close OF the meeting to settle on the
plans to be pursued. but as there was
no quorum they decided to meet today

ASTRONOMY IN ARIZONA.
Station Established Through the Efforts

Station Established Through the Efforts
of Harvard College Observatory.
An expedition to establish an astro-
nomical observation station in Arizona
left Harvard college observatory March
1, Percival Lowell having furnished
the means therefor. The head Of the
work is William HI Pickering, brother
Of Professor Edward G. Pickering Of
Harvard. He has been for years en-
ragged in similar work in Europe and
has recently returned from the Arequi-
pa expedition. 1t has long been desired
to have a station in the dry air of Ari-
zona, but funds have been lacking, and
Mr.. Lowell's 3 gift is most grateful. He
Is we'll known rs a traveller in the far
east, writer on Korea, Japan and the
PHILOSOPHERS and religions of those re-
gions, but he is also an enthusiast in
astronomy, has written several books
On the science and is himself one of the
Arizona party.
The founding of the station will not
change the work at Arequipa, which is
to be almost wholly used for photo
graphic work, while that inArizona will
be visual. But much of the investiga-
tion of the problems of the skies which
has been carried on at the Harvard OBJ
servatory will be transferred to the new
station. Professor Pickering says that
everything is tending to drive observa-
tories away from cities. The vapors,
the smoke and now the powerful cleo
trio currents used for lights and street
cars-all are injurious to the objects Of
the astronomer. The special reason for
hurrying the expedition is the apposi-
tion Of Mars next summer, when that
planet will be near the earth and far
ther north than when it was observed
two years ago at Arequipa. Spring

Pompeilan Business Notes.

A number of business announcements
are to be found at Pompeii, that brisk
little city to whose daily life the energy
of Vesuvius has lent a kind of immor-
tality. Here we get largo number of
miscellaneous inscriptions dealing with
matters of daily life, announcements of
forthcoming gladiatorial games, edicts
of magistrates, wine sellers attempts to
captivate customers, rewards for lost or
stolen property, houses for sale or to be
let and other things of that sort.
We learn from one. announcement
that glass of wine could be got for 1
as--about 3 farthings-whilef for asses
one could drink real Falernian. Another
inscription informs us that denarius
about 734 pence-was paid for wash
ing tunic, and the date, the 18th of
April, is carefully recorded by the writ
er. Whether she was the laundress or
the owner of the tunic must be left un-
decided, but it seems at least that she
was in the habit of marking up her
washing account on the walls of her
house.
There are several such inscriptions on
the same wall of this particular house,
all dated-the goth of April, tunic
and paIlium; on the 7th Of May, an ar
ticle which need not be particularized,
while on the day following two tunics
are scored. ed.-Macmillan's Magazine.

THE BALLOON IN BATTLE.

tnltted and Received,

tnltted and Received.
Balloon and wagon have formed juno
tion and are ready to start with the
troops. Away goes the wagon, with the
balloon hanging on to its tail. while the
attendant sappers on each side keep it
steady. The train moves along at a good
round pace, easily keeping up with or
even passing the infantry, and makes for
the particular spot at which it has been
determined to commence balloon opera
tions, which is usually on the top of q
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is soon accomplished. The balloon
is securely fixed to the end of the wire
rope. and the two men who are to ascend
take their places. At the word of COM
mand the men who have been holding
down the car let go, and up shoots this
balloon, unwinding the rope as it rises
and allowed sometimes to ascend to q
height of 1000 feet. And suppose the
officer receives instructions to move the
position Of the balloon, is it necessary to
haul it down? Not bit of it. A man
is placed at the end of the wagon who

that it cannot get entangled or run risk
of being cut, and away goes the wagon,
sometimes at a trot across fields and up
and down hill, until the balloon itself is
long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that it is neces-
sary to lower the balloon. Is 1t needful
to wind in all the wire rope that has been
paid out from the reelsf No such thing.
The ba,1oon is brought to earth in q
much more expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole, in the middle Of
which is o pulley wheel, is laid across
the rope. Half dozen men seize the
pole and run it along the rope, and their
weight soon brings the balloon down to
the ground. Passengers can then be- ex-
changed, or any other operation can be
carried on, and then the men run the
pole back, and up shoots the balloon
again many hundreds of feet into the
air, without having been away from its
exalted position more than few minutes,
But it is not necessary to lower the bal
loon in this or any other way whenever
it is required Chat messages should be
exchanged between those below and those
above. There are various contrivances
for doing this. Sometimes, for instance,
wire is attached, through which mes
sages can be sent to telephone. Another
plan is to send messages down the wire
cable. A little wire hook is fastened
Ground the cable, and the letter or pa
per, weighted with small sandbag, is
sent huttering down. The human voice,
it may also be added, can be heard both
from a considerable height and depth, SO
that verbal communication is not difficult
if there is no wind-Good Words.
