Increase in the national debts and the
wealth of the world are keeping pace
with each other, and each is increasing
enormously, according to the recent fig
ures given out by the bureau of statistics
OF the United States treasury. During
the last 100 years the nations Of the
earth have increased their debts tenfold,
and the wealth Of the peoples Of the ma
tons has advanced to the same extent.
At the beginning of the nineteenth cen.
fury the aggregated debts Of the world
were about S3,100000,000, to which n
cipher must be added to get the debts OF
today. These figures are more easily OBJ
tanned than are those on wealth, for little
is known of property statistics in most OF
the countries, and still less was known a
hundred years ago. In 1900 the wealth
OF the United States, United Kingdom,
France and Spain was estimated at So
244,G40.O00, while Mulhall now places
their wealth Mt about 100000, 100000

A Unique suburb of San Franchise,
with Old Cars as Dwellings.

There is a little settlement just outside
the city of San Francisco where the large
majority of the structures were once
street cars. 1t is located at the ocean
beach on the shore end of Golden Gate
park. There are perhaps 80 of these car
dwellings in the little settlement, many of |
them fitted out with considerable elegance |
and numerous conveniences. They are |
arranged upon q general plan affOrding |
their occupants the widest views, all
fronting the sea. Streets intersect at
right angles, and plank walks are laid so
as to give pedestrians access to their
homes without wading through the deep
sands. Few of these cars have been
adorned with a coat of paint. The eX-
teriors are generally intact, and the con-
spicuOus signs denoting the route over
which the cars once perambulated are
not obliterated.
Some methods are used in the adOrn-
ment Of these curious resorts. Many Of
them are covered with vines; most have
galleries extending around the front and
sides. The roofs of some are arranged
as loOkouts, and awnings drop over the
windows. There is considerable space for
storage below the cars, while other cars
acquire additional room by little extern
sions. In some instances one car is rails
/ ed above another, and sometimes the cars
/ are laid upon other buildings, thus giving
/ an extra story. The platforms of the
] cars are often transformed into balconies
and bay windows with the aid Of the car
Denter and glass filter and afford points
of observation protected from the cold
winds, besides giving extended views Of
sea and land.
The arrangement Of the interiors Of
these dwellings is highly ingenious, the
necessities of the case requiring the ut

sleeping car suggesting a model. Half {

The cause of the big strike has

refuse the Amalgamated Association
the right to unionize their mills. Presi-
dent Skaters contention is that they
did. There the matter stands.

great strike of the steel workers in

generally obeyed. kilograms from
various points where the mills OF the
American Tin Plate company, the
American Steel Hoop company, and
the American Sheet Steel company are
located, tell Of the shutting down OF
, these plants in large numbers. In
many cases the plants had been shut
down by the first strike order which
q affected the sheet steel and the steel
= hoop companies only. The last order
t brought out all of the union plants
