JUMPED OVER THE GALLERY
Mr.. Kiley Landed in Balcony ant
Shook the Whole Theater

| Only by chance did William Kiley dis
cover the vaulting prowess latent in his
| own legs He made running jump for a
desirable front seat in the gallery at Min
ers theater but went too far. Kiley shot
| over the rail feet first, like a flying meteor,
low. with a jar that shook the building.
| Still the band played on, for the curtain
was about to rise on the matinee
| Beyond a bruised hip and slight cut on
| the head Kiley was not seriously injured.
An ambulance removed him to Gouverneur
hospital, in spite of his desire to remain
and see the show. which opened on time.
| His burning desire to see what Night Owls
| do in daytime, with the glare of the CAL
cium upon their scant plumage, led to the
| exploit of Mr. Kiley. Although it lacked
ten minutes of the time for the first owl
| to flutter to the stage, Mr.. Kiley was late.
very late, from gallery point of view. All
| the front seats but one had been taken,
| and that one, directly in the middle of the
circle, lurked between Mr.. Kiley's brother
John and a friend. They were saving an
unobstructed view of the night owls for
| William Immediately above the calcium
plant When William saw the waiting
seat he ran down the sloping aisle, stepped
| to q vacant chair in the third row. then to
| the back one In the second row and jumped
| As the jumping off place is much higher
y,
his excitement, gave a most prodigious
| leap over he went like a rocket.
John Kiley grabbed at the wrist Of the
| flying man, but as William weighs $50
pounds, John might as well have tried to
catch a falling safe. With yell that
startled the audience, but did not faze the
orchestra, William crashed into a front
balcony seat in half sitting posture. His
head grazed the metal box that covers the
calcium and his hip and side were bruised
by contact with the arm rest of the seat.
The theater attaches consider it remark
able that the man was not killed. Had he
jumped a little harder Kiley would have
gone over the balcony and into the body of
the house. William walked out to the
street. where John with brotherly solicit
tude, saw him hoisted into the ambulance,
John then FASTENED back to see the OPEN
ing act Of the fascinating Night Owls in
daytime, only to find that some unfeelins
gallery spectators had taken his seat and
also the one that William overshot with
his facile legs.-New York Journal

PAY OF oLD-TIME ARCHITECTS
Ancient Builders Received Small
Remuneration

AS near as we can discover, the archi-
tect of "ye olden tyne did not receive for
his services a very exorbitant sum. Re-
Gently some members of the French school
at Delphi unearthed several slabs of mar
BILE which bear inscriptions of great inter-
est, dating, as they do, from the fourth
century before Christ The inscriptions,
which cover about 200 lines, give the price
of work for building operations in Greece
at the period named, and from them we
learn that an architect was paid at the
little enough surely, even if it's purchas-
ing power is multiplied, as it should be,
five or six times. Sir Christopher Wren
received for his services the magnificent
sum of $1,000 per year for more than twenty
years while rebuilding London! His head
draughtsman received about $500 per year.
while assistants received from $50 to S125
per year. French and German architects
were not even SO well paid during the same
period.
Bad as it was, 1t was better than the
remuneration many of the older architects
received, for in the far east, if an artist
made a noble design and erected a building
worthy of admiration, his chances of being
suddenly removed by order of the king
were many This step was taken in order
to prevent a rival king from obtaining the
services of an architect who might be
able to so improve his plans that finer and
nober building would be executed.-Archi-

PASSENGERS ON SAILING SHIPS
Various Reasons Prompt Them to Take
Long Sea Voyage

Almost everybody that travels on the sea
nowadays goes by steamer, but there are
still some persons who, for one reason and
another, take passage on sailing vessels
going usually long voyages. All big ships
have one or two, or perhaps more, spare
staterooms in their cabin, and so are able
to carry comfortably limited number OF
passengers. American ships sailing out of
this port carry passengers-one or ii may
be more-on probably half the voyages they
make. Sometimes there are applications
from more than can be accommodated,
sometimes there are none at all.
For a long time it has been a custom to
some extent to send on long voyages men
whom it was sought thus to cure from a
craving for liquor; but for the benefits Of
the voyage, and for enforced abstinence.
There are yet such passengers. but some
vessel-owning firms now decline them.
Passengers making these long voyages
In sailing vessels go some for pleasure and
others are actuated by various motives.
For example: Two young men who were
friends went out from here to Japan. One
of them was son of a New York importer
who was going out to be resident agent
in Japan of his fathers house. This house
charters ships and has constant dealings
whit ships. and it was desired that its rep
resentative should have some practical
knowledge of them, which he could acquire
Oil tlie NOydSc Out. Hc Ollici pdsoCiSSA VII
this voyage expected to follow the sea as
a profession on steam vessels. He took this
voyage as sort of preparatory education
in acquiring knowledge of ships.
| Men sometimes make the long voyages
| to gather literary material There are
sometimes passengers who take passage
simply to get to some port of destination.
A while ago a New Yorker of ample
means and of perfect health and with a love
for the sea who. went ont from here to Sa n
Francisco in a sailing ship. liked the ship
and the captain so well that he sailed in the
ship for three years. He went in her from
San Francisco to Liverpool and back to
New York; out to San Francisco again,
once more to Liverpool and back to New
York and then to Japan in her.
But while some men make long voyages
simply for the pleasure of it, probably
more go for their health; the number of
those who so to recover from the effects of
overwork, men who are pretty nearly worn
out and who need a rest, is considerable.
They get here three to five months of alb
solute rest and freedom from care, and the
results attained in some cases seem almost
marvellous.
The charge of long voyage on the finest
ships is $500. A long voyage would be that
to San Francisco hundred to a hundred
and fifty days; to Japan the same; or to
twenty-five days; if the passenger remains
on board in port the charge for that week
is SO a week.-New York Sun

Money in Bank

NEW YORK, March 5.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease ........ $2,12o ,S2o
Loans, decrease ..................... l3,622yooU
Legal tender, decrease ............ S,odS,lVo
Deposits, decrease ................. 23,l93 9OO
Cjrculatior,. increase .. 1920
The hanks now hold $40, ,O73 9O9 in excess
of the requirements of the 20 per cent rufe:
The Financier says: The statement of
the Associated banks of New York reflects
in full the disturbing causes which nave
been making themselves felt for nearly
three weeks past. The heavy decreases,
however, cover period longer than tne
seven days which the total are supposed TO
represent AS was outlined in this analy-
sis last week, the averages did not include
the losses which the banks were then sus-
tanning through the shipments to the lnte-
rior. The latest statements reveal very
clearly the extent of this drain. The de-
crease of 1928 1919. 900 in deposits can be traced
through a list Of twelve of the larger banks
ranging from one to four miliions OF dol-
lars in each instance. The only inference
is that the money has gone to other insti-
tutions and this Is further borne out by
the fact that New York exchange at all
important centers has advanced from
heavy discount to par, and in some IN
stances to a substantial premium. Ine
amount shipped has been more than suf-
ficient to meet legitimate trade demands.
At the present time the movements seem
to have ceased. Future developments of a
political character must decide whether it
Is to be resumed, or whether the tide will
turn and the money flow back to New
York In view of the revelations made
public in the current statement the heavy
gold imports do not appear at all strange.
In fact, the wonder is that the engage
ments were not larger. AS might have
been expected, there has been a CORES
ponding reduction in loans and the de-
crease of $13,622 900 is accounted for by
the liquidation in speculative circles and
the calls made in order to strengthen re-
serves. The heavy sales of accumulated
sterling exchange at this center are also
to be considered in this connection. But
for all that, the banks lost nearly 5000 900
cash, the reserve reduction is only 81 1856. 1926,
and the excess is still over $40, 900 900. The
gold coming from Europe will more than
make up the loss in reserves in two weeks.
The treasury did not call the usual Union
Pacific transfers from depository banks
last week, and while Kansas Pacific pay
ments will require within the next thirty
or forty days nearly Sc, 900 900 now in banks,
1t cannot be said that the outlook favors
anything more than moderate firmness in
rates. The exchange situation is so sensi-
tive that sudden advances are bound to
bring additional imports and thus restore
the equilibrium. If the developments of
the next ten days are such that a peaceable
conclusion of our foreign complications is
assured, the money market will probably
weaken. AS it is, rates have gradually
declined from the high point reached early
last week.

STRANGE YELLOW SPIDERS
Florida Insects Which Do the Mysteri-
Gus Disappearance Act

On the borders of the Florida everglades
the visitor will often see a large yellow
spider He swings strong web from two
plant twigs on each side of a path or clear
space of ground and waits for his prey. The
web is in the shape of a hammock, and
tapers at each end to fine point, though
quite broad at the middle. The bright color
of the owner seems to mark him out for
destruction-he is clearly defined against
the white sand or dead leaves, and you
wonder what he would do for defense in
case of an attack.
Approach quietly, and he watches you in
tently. If one raises his hand suddenly he
will disappear While you are wondering
what became of him you see faint blur
where he had been. then several spiders,
then you catch sight again of the yellow
ball you noticed at first. Repeat the per-
formance, and the strange effect is re-
newed. The disappearance is absolute
there can be no doubt about it-and the
little magician trusts to it entirely for his
protection. How is 1t done? AS soon as
he is threatened he starts the vibrations of
his airy hammock. These become too
rapid for the eye to follow and he vanishes.
AS these become slower you see blur, and
then several spiders, as your eye catches
him at different points of his swing, until
finally he rests before you.-BoEton Trav-
eler.
