Ine Secret of New York's Greatness.
 Ernest Ingersoll writes an article for
 St. Nicholas on the Greater New York,
 his paper being entitled Reasoning Out Metropolis. MT. Ingersoll says: The secret of New York's proud great
 ness-why she is and always will be the imperial city of North America in wealth and influence and commercial power, even though some other town may some time in the future count a few more inhabitants-is found in the word transportation.
 New York stands ill the best place for the distribution of people and things,
 the raw material for manufactures, the
 products of mills and furnaces and
 shops, the yield of farms and mines and forests and the goods going and coming across the seas. Valleys that form easy and natural roads open out south. west, north and northeast, like the folds of a
 fan, and the resources of great coun- try flow naturally along them toward
 her coffers In front of her is the ocean gateway, open to the fleets of the world. New York is New York because she
 stands where the wealth of the new world and the treasures of the old world
 most easily and naturally meet, and she will be grander and even more splendid as time rolls on.
