TalIest Hotel in New York.

New York Letter in the Pittsburg Dis
 patch.
 The great St. Regis hotel, described in this letter few days ago, is not, after all, to be the tallest hostelry in New York. It will be built opposite the Waldorf-Astoria on West fhirt J- third street, extending through to West Thirty-second street. Michael J. OShaunnessey, 8 western multi-mil- lionaire, is president and principal owner. The plans call for a History structure, although a 30-story building may be constructed from the same plans with entire feasibility. The next tallest hotel. on Manhattan Island will be the projected 2o-story Hotel Bel mont, which will be erected on the west side of Park avenue, from Forty first to Forty-second streets.

for parts of machinery This, of course, delayed us greatly. Even after the first message a slight defect was found in one of the instruments, and 1t required two days to remedy this.
 T cannot tell you definitely when we will have our stations ready for commer- eisl purposes. All that is required here is little organizing, which is merely a matter of a short time Some time ago, however, the English government which controls the telegraph system of the United Kingdom, refused to make con- nections with tho Poldhu station, and, tfls, of course, will have to be done be- Tore we can do successful commercial businsss.

Less Laughter Nowadays.

From the London Globe.
 A learned author has recently published q treatise on that mystery of all the ages human laughter, and we regret to find 1t is his serious opinion that laughter is dying out among civilized people. Laugh ter we are told, is caused by things which illustrate something in the nature of defect, a failure to satisfy some standard requirement., as that of law or custom, provided that it Is small enough to be viewed as harmless plaything; or, as 1t is said later on, something which fails to comply with a social requirement, yet is go triainE that we do not feel called upon to judge the axiom, is it not possi- ble that with the advance of civilization and the general spreading of culture among all classes the time must come when there will be so very little harm- less infringement of the normal that we shall find ourselves with nothing more to laugh at than the tedious anecdotes of our ancestors? Imagine a world where every one Is just as perfect and normal as ones 8 self, and one is instantly convinced of A lauxhterless millennium. But we cannot constrain ourselves to agree with the au- thor that laughter Is dying out fin this fashion. The vigor of laughter was the youth of the world; but the chuckles of middle life and the spreading smile of old age are as sincere expressions Of mer- riment Jas the most boisterous laughter.

TO HEAT A ROOM FOR $1 A YEAR
An Ohio Scientists Invention May
 Revolutlonlze Fuel Question.

From the Toledo Blade.
 A revolution of the fuel question is the result which Colonel William Heckert. the we'll known scientist of this city. claims his latest invention, the tramo- heater, will accomplish. It the invention does all that is claimed for 1t it will certainly startle the scientific world, as did his recent invention, the trimotor.
 Colonel Heckert says his invention will heat houses in cold weather and cool them in warm weather. It can also be used for refriEeratinE purposes and a storage battery to produce electric lights. Crude oil is the only fuel used, and 1t is claimed that a room of average size can be heated for only s1 year. The plans for the de- vice have been examined and approved by such eminent authorities as Captain SiEs- bee and Commander Melville of the navy
 The new invention vii also generate power and do away 9ith an present theories of locomotio1, Its scientific grim cple IS to utilize nj ic-tenth of the heat while present mo;o-s use about enc tenth. The motor IS SC constructed that in generating power fos the operation of any plant the steam can be sent through the building as heat, while attached to the motor is a dy1amo which genera tes the electricity for lighting the building. Applied to street cars, IL VIII do away with power houses and trolley wires. As applied to vessels it win ''or only propei, but light and heat the ship as well. The Pennsylvania road has been examining the motor and is anxious to see it given a practical test.
 Prof. Kent the greatest engineering ex- pert of New York, says in his opinion it is one of the greatest inventions of the age. New York capitalists are after the invention, but their overtures have been refused by the owners. Judge Seney of this city Is half owner of the patent, and has taken out patents covering fourteen countries. The enterprise is now in practical shape to begin the manufactur- ing of the motor, and heavily capi- talized stock company will soon be or ganixed.
