Millions Of Important Records TO Be-
Transferred Carefully.
Commissioners Need a Separate Con-
tagious Disease Bureau.

Unless the arrangements miscarry.
the Health Department will move from
i.s present offices at Police headquarters
to the new Criminal Court Building in
Centre street, during the third week in
September.
AS far as the Health Department
proper II concerned. that could be trans
ferrcd almost any day, but It Is the
fitting up Of quarters for the new
laboratory that Is causing the delay.
Some of the furnishings for the latter
are elaborate. and have been ordered
from the West. The orders have been
tardily filled. hence the unpleasant de-
lay.

nitude of the word move when applied

violations or alleged violations OF the
Sanitary Code. These also number
among the hundreds of thousands. and
are very precious in the eyes of the OH.

Not the least Of moment of all is the
work of removing the Bureau Of Con.

that building be provided in part OF

Building for this division OF the Health

because of the fact that many persons
have ended an unhappy existence by
leaping over the cliff. The tunnel was
extended seventy-nvc feet. Then three
shafts, each n little over two feet across
and twelve feet deep. were sunk from
different points In the tunnel. Into
each shaft was placed 100 pounds of
dynamite. Electric wires were con
nected with dynamite cartridges, and
after everything was completed the
shafts and tunnel were tamped with
earth.
The people in the neighhorhood were
then warned, and Hugh Reilly stood at
point 200 feet back on the Palisades

n sight OF the Arizona deserts OF sage
and cactus, Il momentary panic on a
ferry-boat, sometimes even fine music
or a great poem would wake the better
part of him to the desire Of doing great
things. At such times the longing grew
big and troublous within him TO cut
loose from It all and get back TO those
places OF the earth where there were
neither months nor years, ana where
the DAYS OF the week had no Names
where he could feel unknown winds
blowing against his face ana unknown
mountains rising beneath his feet; where
he could see great sandy, stony stretches
of desert with hot, blue shadows ana
plains of salt, and thickets OF Jungle
grass, broken only by the lalrs Oh
beasts and the paths the steinook MAKE
when they go down TO water.

the whole interior was lighted by an
electric globe slung over the middle OF
the cage.
Inside the cage a brown bear-to me
less suggestive of a wild animal than Of
laprobes and furriers' sgns-was dan
cling sleepily and allowing himself to be
prodded by a person whose celluloid
standing collar showed white at the
neck above the green OF his Tyrolese
costume. The bear was NANCY, and his
steel muzzle had chafed him, and Top
pan said he was corrupted of moth and
rust alike, and the audience applauded
but feebly when he and his keeper with

After this we had clown elephant,
dressed in a bib and tucker. and vast
