THE HIGH BUILDING PROBLEM.
Is IL Wise to Limit the Height of struc-
tur and How Fix tho Limit?,

tur ana now II X inc A-iinits.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The example Of Chicago and Boston
in the matter of the high building
problem Is to be followed by New
York. The question of limiting the
height of buildings in that city Is to
become a prominent subject for dis
cussion al the next meeting of the Leg
islature. IL every owner of a lot were
to erect a high building, the streets
would soon become mere canyons, pre-
venting the circulation of air and the
penetration of sunlight. and becoming
a menace TO the general health. Arti-
fetal light, of any kind, is injurious,
not only to the eyes. but ITO other or
gans of the body. This results partly
from the increased heat thrown off by
the artificial light. and partly from the
absence of sunlight. Baoteriologists
find that direct sunlight is the most
deadly enemy which germs encounter.

cient importance to have been made the prin-

This Lorenzo's fame has attracted the atten-

ATroIley reIenhone.

Passengers riding on the electric railway
between West Farms and Mount Vernon have
the privilege OF listening 10 an acoustic mani
festation that in a remarkable manner iIlus-
trates some of the earlier experiments in
developing the telephone. The track is q
single ore, and the potential OF the current is
high. Its amperage is also considerable. As
q result, when ear is waiting on switch for
one coming in an opposite direction, the ap-
proach of the latter is audible at the distance
OF mile to the passengers in the waiting car.
The sound vibrations are carried along the
wire, through the trolley, TO the wooden roof
OF the ear. This acts as a diaphragm, winch
faithfully reproduces-the rumble of the ap-
preaching car. A mile away the noise OF the
wheels is distinctly audible. and at the dis
tance of thousand feet the sound becomes a
loud roar. Outside the car, however, praeti-
cally nothing is heard until the moving car Is
within few hundred feet of the sSlteh.-NeH

In THE THEATERS LAST WEEK.

People who intended in their New Years
resolves to cut down expenses for 1895 have
evidently not put the theaters on their list of
economies. There is no telling. however, for
as matter OF fact those who resolved the
most may have been present most numer-
ously all during the week. People may Just
as well try and monkey with the attraction of
gravitati on as with the attraction at first
class theater and Washington is full OF that
kind of theater.
There was quite lot OF good things and
Interesting and pretty people last week on
the boards, who sang and played and danced
and dazzled to the delight and entertainment
of the public.
Washingtons welcome to Richard Mans
field is always warm. He drew audiences
last week at Albaugh's which comfortably
filled the theater at every performance, and
they were composed of the very best theater-
goers in the city.
He does not, in his present repertory, reach
any great dramatic height, and doubt if he
attempts it; but the little that he does In that
line, he executes with such finish and perfec-
tion OF style that it gives as much satisfaction
perhaps more, as IL he caused the very stones
of Rome to rise in mutiny. There are some
who think that Mansfield shines brightest as
comedian; others like him best as charac-
ter actor, but on the whole, perhaps, the
wiser conclusion is that he is good in any
thing he undertakes.
Specially noticeable is the absence of effort
on his part to make points or to emphasize
situations. This is a fault that is common
even among the greater actors than our
friend Richard. But he shows good taste
and true conception OF the proprieties by
studiously avoiding any ad captandum ap-
peas to the audience. Mr.. Mansfield has
been fortunate in the sele,tion of his vehicles
for exhibiting his ability. All of his plays are
good, none great. but each affords him excel
lent opportunity to show his versatility
