Any Other American Community

The total assessed value of real es-
tate and personal property in the
city of New York, uncorrected, is
00,00O,O00.,
Each county of the state adopts it's
own rate of valuation as compared
with the actual value of real estate.
Thus Chautauqua fixes 80 per cent
as the assessable value, Onondaga, IS;
Steuben, 80; Tioga, rs; Saratoga, 20,
and Nassau, 65-the lowest of all.
In New York county the percentage
is 67, in Kings 6S, in Queens 80 and
in Richmond 66. Practically, real es-
tate in the five boroughs of the Great

RUSSIANS ARE FAILURES
AS RAILROAD BUILDERS

When George, Stephenson devised
the locomotive and railroads began,
it was as open to Russia as to any
other country to develop railways in
the empire, but now, nearly three:
quarters of century after Stephen
sons day, Russia, with more than
8,0OO;aO0 square miles of territory, has
barely $4,000 miles Of railway, while

example. One sees constantly in the
magazine articles, especially by Eng

found admiration at the completion
of the Siberian Railway, and yet moth

very low economic force of Russia

e THE FEAR OF LIGHTNING !
Weather Bureau Statistics Show That There 4
Little Real Cause for Alarm
DI u ~ IL ~ II ~ = 4 e%<, i Z e<>s = ?

How unreasoning the fear of light
ming felt by so many timid people is
may be seen from a compilation of
statistics made by the weather bureau.
The. figures, which have been gath
cred during the past decade relative
to the deaths by lightning in the
United States, are certainly of con-
siderable interest. The old question
used to be how to protect buildings
against MISUNDERSTANDING rods or
none, solid rods or hollow rods-and
on the latter point men like Faraday
and Sir William Snow Harris took op-
posite sides and waxed wroth, each
telling the other he knew nothing
about the subject. To-day little or no
attention is given to this matter and
it is generally realized that as regards
where lightning will strike we must
take our chances, which, according to
the statistics referred to, are about
one in 100000 of being struck. The
old idea that lightning will never
strike twice in the same place has
been pretty well exploded by the act
ual facts, and there is reason to as
sumo that if lightning strikes a given
point once it may be expected to
strike there again, rather than at
some other contiguous place.
The theory of lightning is now fair.
ly well established. It is supposed to
be due to the rapid condensation OF
the minute drops of moisture in the

A Graceful VISITING Gown,

A particularly graceful visiting gown
is of a soft shade of blue cloth. The
yoke and the lower part of the sleeves
are of buff embroidered chiffon, while
the panel front of the skirt, the berthe
and the extensions from the yoke to
the belt are appliqued with graceful
scrolls for which Corticelli silk is EN-.
ployed. The lower part of the skirt is
ornamented with several wide tucks.
This model fully emphasizes the fact
that the tablier front is to be we'll
represented among the new gowns,
not alone those intended for afternoon
.but for evening wear as we'll. It will
perhaps interest our readers to know
of a recently imported skirt in which
the tablier front was pre-eminent. It
is cut in four divisions, each one bias
and shaped to give the necessary flare.
Each section is shirred to the other
with tiny outstanding frills and the
lower one spreads out into very full
flounce. The skirt joins the tablier
at either side and the edges are fin.
ished with rosette bows of narrow

Modes of Trimmino.

A favorite trimming is a broad,
double fold put on as a tuck, or, when
slightly gathered, flounce. From one
to five of these, according to their
width, frequently adofn skirts, where
they are arranged in. a zig-zag move
ment in preference to a straight line.
Sometimes they are of the same color
and material as the costume, at 9th"
ers contrasting both In color and tex
tile, in which case either silk or vel
vet is employed.
Another effective trimming consists
of very heavy description of lace OF
extremely large design, through which
black velvet of the very narrowest
width is passed so as to follow the
frame and contours of the design. The
same idea is also carried out with col
ored velvet two or three different
colors, and is very decorative. This
is more an adornment for cloaks and
bodices than skirts, on account of the
weight.

road is only possible if we fail to look
below the surface. Russia has been

ways in the United States has twice
reached 5000 miles. The Russian road
has cost in the easiest part $4,000

mile. Yet, despite this enormous and
wastefuf expenditure, they have only

To Keep Burglars Out

The majority of window locks are
of no value when it is desired to leave
the window partially open for ven
tilating purposes, and in many there
is no provision for automatically
locking the cash when the window
is closed.
The lock illustrated below combines
both of these features and makes it
possible to leave the window open a
considerable distance without fear
that burglars may gain an entrance,
as it is impossible to open the sash
beyond the fixed limit.
Secured to the inner face of the up
per sash is slotted plate, having an
enlargement at the lower end for the
entrance Of the head of the spring
bolt mounted on the lower sash.
The head of this bolt is slotted on
either side to allow movement in the
slotted plate. A spring at the rear
of the casing presses the bolt toward
the plate, but when it is desired to
lift the sash beyond the limit of the
lock the wire spring shown at the

this invention is intended to serve

The apparatus consists of a double

corresponding to the vessels draft.
Two cables leading from the ship to

Goldschnnidt Welding Process

The Goldschmidt welding process
for welding rails has lately undergone
a simplification, says the Baltimore
Sun. The crucible in which the re-
quired quantity of thermite is to be
melted is made in the form of fun
mel, about 16 inches in height and IL
inches in diameter at the top. The
bottom end is provided with an open
ing about three-quarters to one inch
in diameter, which serves as a pour
ing hole. An iron plug is used to close
the hole during the reaction, and the
hole is freed preferably by knocking
this up into the liquid mass, when it
is at once fused. In this way the pre-
else moment for discharging the con-
tents is easier to regulate than by al
lowing the plug to remain in position
until melted out. The top of the plug
should be covered with little fine,

The Eve and the Dress,

The color of the eyes should deter.
mine the choice Of the dress and mil
linery.
A blonde may wear pure white with
advantage, but the brunette nearly al
ways looks better in cream-colored
fabrics. This ought to be more gen
orally recognized. Brown eyes and a
brown dress go we'll together. Blue.
eyed girls should wear blue as often
as possible. The tan shades are not
often suitable for slim figures. Black
satin intensifies the effect of round
shoulders.
Dull black is the best choice for a
fair-haired woman, while brunette
must order something brilliantly black
if she really wishes to look her best.
