Boston Transcript: If all goes well
the Maine Historical Society will find
itself in most congcnial surroundings
when the plans now a-making for the
preseI walton of the home of the poet
Longfellow in Portland and for the
erection of IA fireproof building in the
rear Of the house are completed. 1t is
not strange that all the people OF
Maine should feel an especial interest
in this scheme, since almost every one
of them is descended from an ancestor
whose name appears in historical ac-
counts Of our country So it comes
about that the possessions Of the His
torical Society Of the State OF Maine
arc exceedingly valuable and likely to
be sought and consulted frequently
both by natives of the State and by
visitors. And to have these housed in
the shadow OF the Longfellow. home
which will be kept intact through the
good Offices of the society. appeals To
people everywhere who rejoice in every

need and has assisted worthy persons
He does all these kindnesses So I'M
ohrusively that few know IF them: IN
Most cases not even the people be-
friended are aware Of the identity o.
their benefaCtor. He has sometimes
told his friends that he would like {
60 more for some Of the people H.
knows. but that he is afraid of hurting
their feelings by proffering assistance
Il little while ago he found that he had
about the house a great deal OF stun
that was not needed and he felt that
ii ought To be doing some one good
There We're a lot of good clDthing. som,
books. small articles OF furniture and
two clocks. For a while he couldn't
think Of Il graceful way Of disposing OF
Them. Then one day he loaded them
all into his broad oldfashioned ear
rage. and took Il drive out into the
country. When he found 4 good place

cles along the fence where they could

some no doubt who look upon them

Jealous care and woe unto him or

and flowing back over half mile.
Above this one on the same stream an
other colony is located, apparently an
overflow from the former as their
works are more recent. Their dam at
this place is curiosity; 'they have
utilized an old driving dam. The hume
at the gateway was in very good con-
dition, across which they have built a
solid structure of logs. brush. stone
and mud. woven together and braced

the old dam have been repaired and
there is good big pond of water stored
behind. 1t is most ingenious piece Of
work and shows almost human intelli-

of growth. for their food is as great a
consideration as the location for wa

food. while any old thing they can get
hold OF goes into their dam.-The
chambers of their houses are built on
scientific principles, the water so
gagged that they can lie and sleep
with their tails in the water and they
can tell at any time If there is a hole
in the dam. Their food, during the
Inter is the bark from the trees or
logs that they have fastened in some
mysterious way to the bottom, where
1t will lie until disturbed when it
arises to the top Of the water.

MENT HOUSE TO COVER
BROADWAY BLOCK.

It learned last night that plans have
been prepared for nine story apartment house
to occupy the entire block bounded by Broad
way and West End-ave. and Seventy-eighth
and Seventy-ninth sts. 1t is to be built by
William Waldorf Astor who owns the land and
will cost 50 100000 1t will be the largest
apartment house in the city it is said. The
building will not begin until the present twenty
one year leases expire, which will be next year.
and the construction will be hurried. as the
intention is TO have the building ready about
the time the underground rapid transit road is
completed.
A feature of the house will be an underground
connection with the Seventy-ninth- st. station of
the road from the interior court. The building
will be built around 4 hollow court. which will
take up the entire centre OF the block. AS the
land slopes from Broadway toward West End
ara the court will be graded in two terraces
Plots of flowers and fountains will decorate the
terraces Two driveways will enter the court
from the street, one from Broadway for
riages and the other from West End-ave. for
wagons The latter driveway will be depressed
so that teams on it cannot be seen from the
court or the windows Of the building.
Some idea of the building may be obtained
from the dimensions of the block 100 feet on
