sHANTYToWN DIES HARD.

Persons familiar with the topography
Df New York. or OF so much Of New
York as is included In Manhattan
Island, are aware that in the region of
upper Broadway from Forty
to Fifty-ninth street, bedrock is about
Il feet below the surface, whereas
north OF the southern boundary OF Cen
trail Park the rock formation was
originally. in most places, higher than
the present street grades. requiring on
the whole west side OF town repeated
and general blasting. Before the
Riverside section became a fayorite
residential part of the city the terri
tory 10 the west OF the Park bore the
name of ShantytOwn. especially so
much Of the west side as was between
Sixtieth and Nlneteth streets. By de-
grees the whole surface has been
cleared or very nearly cleared, but
here and there houses remain perched
upon the rocks. squatters homes, the
habitat of the Harlem goat and the
abiding place of the BloOmingdale pig.
From time to time the announce
ment is made that this or that relic OF
Shantytown has disappeared, and very
recently the part to go was the squat
ter's residence at the rocks In One
Hundred and Twentyfourth street,
near the Boulevard now Broadway.
The tenants were forced to move to
allow the erection OF fiat houses. AL
though Shantytown has been disap-
pearing on the installment plan, de-
tached portions of it still remain in
those western sections of town which
have not yet been utilized for resi-
dental purposes The original resi-
dents OF Shantytown were Irish immi-
grants. who, familiar with rural life in
their own country, settled on their
arrival here in the unoccupied part OF
town, building for themselves cheap
wooden dwellings and paying either a
nominal rent or no rent at all.
The last considerable section OF
Shantytown to withstand the upward
march of improvements was In the
neighborhood of One Hundred and
Tenth street, between Columbus and
Amsterdam avenues, but the public i'm
provements whereabouts have com
pletely changed the character of that
neighborhood, notably the new Episco-
pal Cathedral, St Lukc's Hospital,
Columbia University and the improve
ment of the road connecting the north
end of Central Park with the crest OF
Amsterdam avenue at One Hundred
and Tenth street. For many years to
come, 1t is probable. New York Shanty-
town will continue to disappear But
It hasn't all gone yet.

A great attraction ahead OF Al. Mar
tins Uncle TENS Cabin Show was
Jack Youngs' pet giraffe. The giraffe
used To do the work usually given to
the billposters and distributors. and in
addition to doing that work we'll the
giraffe put up a mighty good talk to
the newspaper men about the Imperial.

bands with the show. | won't tell you
the CRATES exact height, because
never measured him, but when Jack
foungs had him working in Broadway
he could reach "snipe" into the sky

trouble for letting the giraffe paint
Uncle Tom" on the hat of William
Penn statue, which stands on the city
hall tower.
The giraffe was mighty useful, too,
In placing posters above the normal
brush line Now and then when bill
posters had got over their awe for the
CRATES capabilities. they would try
to have little fun with him by call
ing him old rubber neck" When any
remark Of that kind was made tho
giraffe was apt to lose his temper.
Once on an occasion like that he quit
the show. but Jack Youngs, by con-
siderable coaxing, got him back. The
time came. however. when the giraffe
got too old to distribute bills in stormy
weather, and then he was released. But
in his day he was a good agent

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

Government .wi9 Ery to Make Sail
New York, Dec. 2S.-The converteq
cruiser Dixie arrived from Philadel-
phia Yesterday, having on board 5VO
lardsmen from the Mississippi valley,
who are to be converted into sailors.
Commander J. HI. Hawley, of the
Hartford, which now is at San Fran
cisco, is recruiting farmers from the
Pacific slope and inland and will bring
them to this port. He is expected
here in April. Both ships, with the
recruits aboard will circumnavigate
the globe, showing them the sights
while teaching them how to follow the
sea and manage Uncle Sans navy.
Since the restoration Of peace it has
been difficult to get sailors to enlist IN
the navy. 1t is thought that the pres
ent plan will provide all the men re-
Quired, and also that a better class
will be obtained for the crews OF the
new battleships Kearsarge, Kentucky,
Ala bama, New Jersey and other ships
which will be placed in commission IN
the spring. The Dixie will remain in
dry dock until after Christmas. when
she will go to Norfolk, thence to the
West Indies and later to Europe, prob
ably. to France, first of all. AS no 9th
er government has tried to make sail
ors out of farmers, the experiment will
be watched with interest by naval Of
ticers all over the world.

Harry Hunter has been brought 10
the Stutsman county Jail for safe Keep
ing. Hunter was arrested last July on
complaint of an elevator company own
ing an elevator at Kensal. The COM
pany claims that, he is short $500 III
his accounts as agent. A number OF
residents furnished bonds at the pre-
liminary hearing held in July and
Hunter was released. Last week the
bondsmen decided to withdraw, and
as a result Hunter will have to remain
in Jail until the district court is con-
yened next month-unless he secures
new bonds. A sad feature Of the affair
is the fact that Hunter was married
about three weeks since to Miss
Brady. She has always maintained
that he is innocent of. the charge pre-
ferred against him.
A. Peterborough, a sixty-year-old res
ident Of Stutsman county, was con-
victed Of cruelty to his family in JUS
tice court about two months ago, and,
although he has abundant means, he
refused to furnish $500 bonds neces-
sary to secure his release and Went to
jail. After & two months sojourn in
the Jail he changed his mind regarding
bonds and was released.

State School Apportionment for the

The state school apportionment for
the last quarter Of 1899 has been re-
ceived by the county treasurer of Rich
land county, and amounts to $4,560.47,
or a little over So cents for each child
of school age in the county, there being
1926 children in the county. The total
apportionment for the year is $780,
460.72, or $5.77k for each child. The
total expenses Of the schools Of the
county for the year, including interest,
building, furniture and teachers wages
and all other expenses, was $90,773.94.
The state apportionment, it will be

The telegraph is doing good service
to science. A hospital in New York
is adapting a machine ito record mi
nutely the actions of persons in cpl
leptic fits and similar affections. Nov
ing pictures have been taken showing
the walking movements in persons af-
flicted with locomotor eataxia. When
these films are reproduced on the
screen doctors can study the symp-
toms carefully in the laboratory. The
movements of all kinds of microbes
are also being photographed, as we'll
as the action of healthy and diseased
corpuscles. When these pictures are
magnified and thrown ON the screen
the Improvement or decline in the
condition of the patient can be told.
One Of the most interesting uses of
the biograph is :, photograph and
show infinitely the growth and flower
ing Of plants from the time of plant
ing until in full bloom. A picture is
taken every half-hour continually for
about thirty days and nights. In or
der to secnre uniform light for every
view a powerful electric light is en-
ployed. Sometimes 1000 pictures will
be made of one subject. Should the
subject be a lily the pictures at one
stage will show the opening of the
lily, while at another stage it's fading
away is seen. BY quickening the time
of the pictures on the screen the plant
is actually seen to be growing.

A wheat calendar, giving the time of
ripening in various countries, shows
how the grain has all seasons for its
own. Dwellers in the United States
for example, where so much of the
land is resting during the winter
months, find by the calendar that
wheat is at the harvest point of
growth in December for Burma and
New South Wales agriculturists. jan
uary witnesses the same stage of de-
velopment in Australia, New Zealand,
Chile and Argentina; while February
and March are wheat harvest months
for Upper Egypt and India. The list
for June, July and August is the full
est. There is one feature, almost in
evitable, in the worlds annual wheat
story. A shortage, real or fancied, is
apt to be reported in some quarters,
and then speculation sees it's oppor-
tunity quite as soon as legitimate
dealing.
