In the congested districts of New York
seems to have seized upon the people of

Other architects wa to build gardens
over the wharves. and still others pro
pose elevated platforms in the triangles

NO MAN EVER DID THIS BEFORE

Herman Delago, native and resident
OF tho little town Of Brixen, in the Tyrol,
has mplished the once supposed 10
be i'm possible feat of ascending the last
virgin peak the Dolomi ties, of the Rosen
garten group OF mountains, near Botzen.
He has thereby made himself famous,
given his name to the peak whose sum-
NIT be alone has trod, and on which be
has erected stone pyramid, which can
be seen through telescope, as q witness
to the fact that man mas assembled the
dizzy heights.
The peak, now known as the "Delago,"
is the westerly OF the five famous pima
cles of rocks that mark the Vallolet
range, and so firm has been the belief in
its naccessi bility that for centuries it has
been common. comparison among the
natives, when wishing to suggest tho i'm
possible, to say, "You might as we'll ex-
pect to climb the west peak.
Young DelagO, who is just 20 years OF
age, the son OF a peasant, is tall slight
youth, with light hair and blue eyes.
The DoIomites, with their adamant
teeth, needle points, vast precipices over
cling to the green slopes half way up their
sides, and their peaks on peaks, have
been for centuries the Mecca of climbers.
Many is the sad tale told by guides, as
they point down sheer distances OF many
hundreds OF feet and relate how some adj
venturous climber has lost his slender
hold and been dashed to death on the
merciless rocks below.
Tradition in and about Brixen and
Botzen has 1t that the first attempt to
scale tho peak that young Delago has
now succeeded IN ascending was made by
a charcoal burner named Zermann about
the year 1850. He reached narrow ledge,
in his fifth effort, about 100 feet belo "
the summit, but his next step was on an
insecure point OF srocks, which broke I'M
der his weight, Letting him fall to the
ledge below with sufficient force to frac-
ture his left thigh. For two days he
ioled in mis- effort to descend and was re-
ceived by his anxious frienos only to die
from his injury few weeks later.
Another notable unsuccessful attempt
to elm this peak was MADE in 1850 b
Andreas Hofer, who led his people when
they drove the Savarians from the Tyrol.
Hoier planned his ascent very carefully
and entered upon the undertaking with
every assurance OF success, bnt only to
be disappointed. His chosen path hsd
to be abandoned before he had gone ons-
half of the necessary distance. The
change of plan did not help him, for no
matter which way he turned the path
was closed. "No msn will ever reach
tbs top without wings" he said.
In 1868 the famous climber, DR.. Crab
mann, assembled some of the most diff
cult peaks OF tho Dolomites, but when he
reached the westerly point OF the five
noted ones he said, at is impossible. "
1t was reserved to Hermann Delago 10 do
what the doctor thought was impossible
ald to give his name to the peak.

as Is climber, looked for new worlds 10

Whaiebone's Ad. ance In Price

Despite the fact that bicycling among
women is said to be iniuring the corset
trade, wbalebone, which still enters
largely into the construction of corsets,
ha as risen to famine price. Half cen
tuIy ago great many ships used to start
from Sag Harbor, New Bedford and Bos-
ton for long cruises in the Arctic seas in
search OF whales. Those that returned
from their dangerous hunting among the
ice foes readily sold their cargoes OF oil
and bone at what were then considered
fair prlces. Whalebone, for example, used
to bring about $500 ton. most OF it be-
ing used in I'm brella- making. Steel, OF
late years, has been almost entirely sub
stituted for it in this as we'll as for al
must all otner manufacturing purposes.
Whalcrs grew discouraged. and the In
dustry declined almost to the disappear
ing point. Whalebone has been steadily
growing scarcer and scarcer. and its prices
have gone steadily upward. This year
it is worth about $500 ton, and there
have been years within the last decade
when for a tine it has brought twice that
sum. Unless the whaling business takes
a new lease OF life. however, there seems
to be little prospect of the bone ever
bringing less than $4,000 a ton.-Provi

THE CASTELLANES

My latest letters from Paris show great
activity on the part OF Count and Count
ess dc Castcllane, who are busy preparing
their magnificent hotel in the Champs
Elysees for occupancy at an carly day.
This mansion, which is to cost don't
know how many millions, will eclipse
anything else of the kind. including
Baron Hirsch's new house, Mrs.
Mackay's mansion on Rue d, Tilsit, and
Prince Pierre Bonaparte's palace, on
which were lavished the accumulated mil
lions OF Mr.. Blanc, tho owner of Monte
Carlo, whose daughter (since dead) be-
came the wife OF that parsonage. Indeed,
the new Castellane establishment is the
talk of the day IN Paris. During the past
summer the count has ransacked the
chateaux and ancient palaces OF France
for rare and beautiful tapestries, armor,
plate, paintings, em b. oideries. pore elain
in short, for all kinds of furniture with
which to adorn his new Partisan home.
Nothing like ii has been known since the
days of the Second Empire. when Eu-
genia erected a palace for her sister, the
Duchess d Able, which she caused to be
torn down after the untimely death OF
that lady.
Whole galleries of the Grand TIianon
are TO be faithfully reproduced in this
fairy palace. Announcement has been
made that no expense Is to be spared;
knowing which the Parisians may be
relied upon to gee to it that as much Will
BIZ spent as possible. Meanwhile the
count finds time to look after other dc
tails of establishing his household with
becoming splendor. A friend, returning
from Paris, reports that in one carriage
shop which he had visited, the count
had given an order for no less than
twenty-five vehicles, ranging from a viii
lage cart to mail coach. In the jewelry
line he has not bsen more sparing. Fell
suites OF gems have been ordered Tor the
countess after designs especially pre-
pared by the noble husband-pearls,
rubies, diamonds emeralds--all in the
most superb array. One string OF pearls
alone represents a sum of money which
would have purchased good sized mod
ern house-nye, and furnished 1t too, for
that matter. N or is this all. Every day
the count accompanies his wife TO the
shops, consults, advises, and directs IN
the selection not alone OF household ar
ticles, but the more feminine appoint
ments of the wardrobe.
To all branches alike he gives equal
attention, purchasing peignolr with the
same discrim mating judgment which be
bestows on piece OF Gobelin tapestry or

trations the countess, so my informant
says. is becoming a thorough Parisienne
