the northern facade of the Schermerhorn
Hotel, now building.
In height this huge wall measures 240
feet from the street to the coping; in lengih b
$50 feet. It's area is 81 600 square feet. But
mere figures give only poor idea of the
magnitude of objects. If the wall, lust as
1t is, were LAID down fiat upon the ground,
1t would cover nearly two acres, or half an
average city block. Three infantry regi-
ments could drill or an intercollegiate
football match could be played upon it
without being badly cramped Naturally
wall OF such size used up fair amount
of material. OF bricks alone, apart from
glass, metal and woodwork for its MANY
doors and windows, 1t is calculated that
the facade contains $500, 600. Suppose

land values is producing good results, not
only directly but indirectly.
1.-The feeling among owners of large
tracts and valuable ground in the cities is
that the penny-a- pound tax means great
deal more than that. They regard it as an
entering wedge destined to split the
monopoly log. They readily foresee that
as the first step toward raising public rev.
enue from land values has been taken,
1T will inevitably be followed by
other and longer strides until the single
tax system in its entirety is reached.
Hence their eagerness 20 either relinq uish
or improve their real estate holdings.
Thus 1t will appear that the single tax in
our country is producing good results in
advance of its coming"
Are the single-taxers in your country
'numerous?'
They are very numerous, though COM
paratlvely few who believe in the prin-
clple are known as single takers. Thou
sands are such without really knowing 1t
themselves. The idea is in their heads
and it dominates their actions. So that
no matter what they call themselves or
think they are they are practically with
US, and the reform goes on with irresist-
lble force toward the goal of complete in
dustrial freedom.

unlimited possibilities. l Intend to visit

But 1t Was Very Different From What
He Expected.
As the train pulled out of Chicago a
quiet, gentlemanly looking man entered
the buffet-car and, ensconcing himself in
a comfortable chair, drew out long cigar
and entered deeply into his paper.
He remained so quiet and retained his
seat so long that another passenger. whose
bearing distinctly stamped him as a COM
merc1al travelling man, one of the kind
full of chatter and curiosity, could no
longer restrain himself. Addressing the
quiet gentleman, he inquired, Travelling
East?"
Slowly removing his cigar the gentle
man turned and looked at his questioner
with slightly elevated eyebrows, replying,
"Yes.
New York;"
'Yes"
"Pleasure?'
GREAT place, New York. Ever been
there before?"
mo-
Pm going home this trip-New York,

The gentleman made no reply, but re-
sumed his paper. After little silence the
com mercIal man began again.
"I'm with 9. & Co., on Broadway. If
you drop in I'll show you over the city"
THANK you, it will not be necessary"
Excuse me, but might / ask what
you're going to New York for?'
BY this time most of the other passen-
gers were interested. The gentleman. who
was extremely annoyed at the drum mer's s
curiosity, laid down his paper and ex.
claimed:
Il am going TO New York first because
the train is taEing me there; second, be-
cause I've got lots of money and can
afford it, and last, because if I like the
place [ intend to buy it.
The commercial man subsided amidst
roar of laug hiladelphia Times.

Lovely Lou OF Bangor, and we had been
on our way to South America for ABOUT
four weeks. The WIND had LETT the snip
during the last day of this period, and we
were dipping our peak to lolllng swell
that seemed to come from nowhere and
return to the same place without making
a ripple on the blue surface OF the ocean.
THE sails were all set and their shadows
fell clear upon the CLASSY surface, but
where the sun fell the water was as clear
as crystal. We were well within the tropics
then, and several big sharks had been seen
playing about the vessel. Suddenly there
came splash, and the cook ran to where
l was standing on the poop deck, crying
that one of the sailors had tum bled over
board. The Lou had no way, ano laughed
at the idea OF him drowning, telling the
cook 10 throw him a rope, walking TO the
rail as | did so. The sailor was swimming
about the quarter enjoying his bath when

quickly he would be devoured, and rushed
10 the cal bin grating to get line.
'SeiZing piece of rope l hastened to the
rail Just in time to see the form OF an i'm
mense shark turn on its side tc seize the
sailor. AS he did so there was an in
stant's glimpse OF long brown body and
then the water was sIashed into sea of
yeastY loan, the shark see mingly being in
trouble. l threw the line and in mo-
ment the sailor was aboard, scared out of
his wits, but safe and sound. The thrash
ing in the water still continuing we pro-
ceed to investigate, and directly we were
able to see that the shark was pinned by a
large swordfsn, the sword running
through the jaws of the shark in sucn a
manner as TO prevent the fish from OPEN
ing them. Whether the sharks antago-
mist had deliberately attacked him We
know not, but its timely and unexpected
appearance saved the sailors lite beyond
a doubt, as another instant would have
sent the teeth into the body OF the man.
We managed to release the sword from
the shark and killed the latter, letting the
other go free. 1t was a narrow squeak,
