NEW YORK'S BIG BUILDINGS.

When Sir Edmund Barton, pre-
mier of the Australian common
wealth, was in New York, he looked
at the tall buildings and heard about
the subways and tunnels with a
very doubtful expression.
Z you'll find that so much tun-
neling, combined with such high
buildings, will make a lot Of trouble
for you," he said to an American
friend. "They're learning that in
London now. 1t is said that the
foundations Of st. PauPs cathedral
have been weakened by the tun-
nels."
strangers are all doubtful about
the solidity of our high buildings, "
was the response. when Prince
Chen drove up Broadway the other
day, he looked at the tall buildings
and smiled. A gentleman who sat
in his carriage asked through an in
terpreter if the prince would tell
just what he was thinking about"
I'H bet that | know what he was
thinking about" said Sir Edmund.
"He was thinking what asfne mark
they would make for a shell"
"No. Re said that he was won
dering when those buildings would
fall down and what we would all do
when they did fall" s. ~
! "Ha, hap laughed Sir Edmund.

made in order to conceal thought"

A New Armor Plate.

! It has long been known that or
binary wrought iron can be convert
ed into high grade steel without
melting the iron by simply placing
carbon in contact with the metal at
a red heat. The carbon is absorbed
by the iron, and the latter is thus
transformed into steel. The ordi-
nary concentration process, by which
much of the steel used in cutlery is
made, is an example of this process.
It is now reported, however, that
Lieutenant Davis of the United
States navy has adopted an cleo
trical method Of the same sort for
case hardening armor plates. The
plates are acted on while hot by
high tension electric currents
through large carbon anodes, from
which the particles of carbon are
carried into the metal. It is said
that the surface Of a plate can be
rendered harder by five hours of
such treatment than by any other
known method. There is a great
saving in time as well as metal.

Your Share OF Money.

Have you 1886? If you have
not, you are short your per capita
share Of the money circulation Of
the United States, and some one
has what would be coming to you
if the money that is in circulation
were equally divided. This state
ment is made without reservation,
on the authority of the latest report
Of the treasury department. y
/ Another thing; you are entitled
to I cents more than you were one
year ago, according to this same re-
port, even though there has been al
lowed for an increase of lis, 900 in
the population, for in that same
time there has been an increase Of
more than sos, 900, 900 in the mon
ey In circulation. So, you see, you
are better off than you were q year
ago-if you get your dues. ].
i In fact, you are getting better off
all Of the time. What has hap

The Paris Critics.

An amusing bit of gossip comes
from Paris by way of the London
Era, which says that the Paris the
latrical managers are at daggers
drawn with the critics. Last year
the managers quit issuing invita-
tions to the latter to the repetition
lgenerale," or dress rehearsals. and
now they have decided to give no
free tickets to the press for first
performances. The Paris theaters
have not been doing well this year,
and the bad business is ascribed to
the critics, the entrepreneurs threat
ening to attack the scribes in, the
law courts. 'f a journalist writes
down play" says one Of the Paris
managers, eve shall proceed against
him In the law courts. If q news
paper were to publish an article
stating that KS cognac was I'M
'drinkable, the journalist who wrote
the article and the newspaper in
which it appeared would both be
sued for damages. Our case, as we
considersit, is precisely similar"

MRS. MuRPHY's GRIEF.

Happopotamus Crows Hysterical
when Separated From Her Baby.
Mrs. Murphy Of Central park is not a
wash lady, but q hippopotamus. says
the New York Times. She lives in a
tub, therefore, or something like one.
and she has mate named Caliph and
a baby, hippo named Lotus. The re-
moval Of the family from summer to
winter quarters made a scene in which
pathos and comedy were oddly min
gled.
BY persuasive prods Of pitchforks III
the hands Of the keepers Caliph. much
against his will. was induced to take
up his quarters In the lion house tank.
Then more prods forced Mrs. Murphy
to join her mate. The trouble came
when Lotus. who is very likely child
and has never been parted from his
mother, was put in separate tank.
The bereaved Mrs. Murphy opened
wide her cavernous Jaws and COM

made the bereayed mother more fran
tic. She plunged more madly and bel
lowed more loudly, while Lotus added
his baby voice to. the pandemonium. 1t

comforted. and for a time. the keepers

City and the intention is to dedicate
it on Arbor day, an anniversary found

old knights had in their armor. They

. Gathers Them In.

Years OIL cOntlnu-
Gus prosperity and the rapid rise of
new millionaires have made the
gambling house a mint.
Within, the place is much as Norris
sey left it. That's matter of super
stition. There must be no change, or
luck will change, too. When sofa
wears out it is replaced by another
exactly like it. The lights are more
brilliant, but they shine from the
same chandeliers. Nothing is new but
the faces, and by no means all of them.
Canfeld's is like Monte Carlo in
some ways. For instance, no resident
of Saratoga is permitted to enter it
except as an emPloye. This is the
unwritten law which is stronger than
the written laws which prohibit with
out preventing games of chance. So
in Monte Carlo, no native, no subject
of the prince is permitted to be
impoverished and debauched by
gambling. There is hard by the
famous casino branch of the Paris
bank. The employees cash checks for
gamblers, but they themselves never
see the inside of the casino. 1t is the
unwritten law. Their lives are as
austere as they might be in a prohibit
ton village in Vermont.
The club seems in Saratoga a
strange anomaly. It is a moral VIII
lage, clean and orderly. Why the
gambling? If you had been there as
I was the year of the "great reform"
If you had been there and had seen
the battalions of empty rocking
chairs upon the miles of vacant
piazzas when the club was closed you
would not need to ask the question.
Gambling brings the guests who
bring the money, the strange ladies
who wear diamonds for breakfast and
decorate their faces with much paint.
It makes business. The native Sara
togian has nothing to do with it. He
doesn't know it exists. He's very
unobservant.

unknown in any public sense. He
has not been active in business for
quarter of century. His name was
not in any list of American money
kings. He is Character" He is a
bachelor without near relatives. He
has four millions left to "go on

the fund.
Personally, Mr.. Burke is just such
another kindly old gentleman as Car
negie will be at 90, if he lives so long.
He chuckles over his gift, has fun
with it, likes reading the newspaper
accounts of it. He obeys his doctor
better than most old men; perhaps
that's one reason why he is alive and
hearty.
Burke has his peculiarities. He
never sells anything. If he buys
stock it is to keep. His farm in
Westminster county is overrun with
horses that have never been worked
or even shod. Colts that join that
colony are fortunate. In his green
houses grapes rot every fall because
the old man won't have them sold.
Giving them away is all right; selling
them, no! No tree is ever cut.
Fence posts must be bought; the ak
may not touch a superfuous locust.
On this dreamland farm is a grave
yard for pets. The old man loves all
the animals about the place, and will
not let one 60 Without was going
to say without Christian burial. But
of that there is no travesty, of
course.
A simple, kindly old man is this
who woke the other morning to find
himself famous; like many another
man of slender acquaintance, locally
known for unusual generosity.

man out of job is this: The corpo-
ration that pensions its elderly en-
ployes, when it wishes new men will
prefer young ones who can serve it
long before being pensioned.
Burke was shrewd as well as kind
when he devoted his great gift to
Intelligent and respectable men and
women who in consequence of sick
ness or discharge from hospitals be-
fore they have gained sufficient
strength to earn their livelihood, or
in consequence of other misfortune,
may be in need of temporary assist
ance."
The fund cannot be available for a
year or more. But already it's trus-
tees have been deluged with applica-
tlons-enough if all were met to ex-
haust the fund at once. And not
every applicant is shamming need.
l spoke of the vastness of charity
work in NV York. On the same day
that saw the publication of Burke's
gift the Lewishons, copper operators,
arranged to give 100000 for public
charities; the gift passed almost un-
noticed. With like brief mention ap-
peared the fact that the Haven fund,
left some years ago for similar
purpose, had reached $3,Oo0,00O.

charities of New York. The bare
mass of benefcence, in requests and
endowments from past time, in hand
to-pocket giving of to-day, is bewil-
dering. Never say that people are
not generous!
But the distribution is strange.
More than half the entire sum is
spent in one way or another for
children. They represent hope. They
"come to something" In their turn
they serve the world. The i'll and
the wounded are also more than pro-
vided for. New York has too many
hospitals. It's the man or woman
who has "fallen out of the ranks"
who gets the least attentions; the
merely poor man; the old man. The
impulse of charity is kindly, but it is
as if it were some machine implac-
ably, blindly, without malice or in
tention, carrying out the DEGREES of
the law of ''the survival of the fit
test" He who's had his chance and
failed, he who never had a chance
and is now too far on the way to
utilize it, are strangely lost sight of.
Without meaning to be so, charity is
unitarian.
We're like cattle started for the
market in crowded car. Once q
beast gets down he's done for.
The plight of the old man, the mid
de aged man, even, who hasn't quite
Shit it off, is worse than ever BE-
fore. He has been kept too long at
one thing. He hasn't the adaptive
ness that made the. old-fashioned
Yankee able to turn his hand to any
thing.
More men than women now use
hair dye in this city-not for adorn-
ment, but as a cold business propo-
sition.
