Light and Air in Cities.

In New York the importance of the
light and air question is now pretty well
understood, though it has been egregious
ly overlooked in several instances; and
the result is that large office buildings
are attempted only on especially favor
able sites, the majority of which have
already been pre-empted. The influence
of the Trinity Church yard in effecting
realty valuations is an interesting case
in point. Here is an open green square
in the heart of the financial center, which
sentiment and tradition have made con
seerated ground; which the wealthy pro.
prietary corporation refuses TO sell at
any price, and which, rs far as can now
be seen, will always remain in its pres
ent state. Consequently the office build
ings erected on abutting property are as
sured of splendid supply of light and
air for an indefinite period. 1t is for this
reason that the Empire building. on the
south side of Rector street, is one of the
most successful enterprises in the me-
tropOlis; and it is for this reason that the
old Trinity building at Ill Broadway is
regarded as probably the most valuable
building site in the lower business dis
trict. Atlantic Magazine.

Cost of Living in South Africa.

The high cost OF living in South Africa,

rents and the price of all necessities of
life in Cape Colony have steadily in
creased. and the same may be sail, mu-

PINNACLE ROCKS,
They Rear Themselves Unnoticed in the
Highways of the Seas.

An old officer of the coast survey in
speaking of the accident TO the Brooklyn,
which ran on rock in Buzzard's Bay in
| the recent mimic war off the New Eng
land coast, said: "She undoubtedly ran
| on what is known as a pinnacle rock
You may 20 within six feet of pinnacle
rock and never suspect its presence. 1t is
next to impossible to find one with a
lead, but when the present OF one is sus-
pected they may sometimes be found by
dragging.

weighted rope stretched between them.
by assiduously sweeping the waters
where the rock is supposed to be. may
find it, but the drag and the bottom OF
some unlucky ship are the only things
which can discover such a rock.
Since the day when Henry Hudson
first sailed into New York harbor the Pill
grim rock has existed in the East river.
1t is in the most crowded part of the
river, and thousands upon thousands OF
vessels have passed within n few feet
perhaps inches. of it. Finally, a few
years ago, the Fall River Steamer Pill
grim, coming down the East river hit the
rock with her bottom. The rock was
then located for the first time. and now
is buOyed and marked on the charts. The
fact that for nearly 1000 years the pres
ence of Pilgrim rock was unsupported in
shows how completely such an obstruc-
ton can lose itself in even a moderate
expanse of water.
There is a rock of this kind off Cot
tage City, Martha's Vineyard, called
SchOolship rock The rock was located
in the usual way, by vessel striking it,
years ago, and buoy was placed on it.
Once the buoy was reported to have
drifted off the rock and we were sent to
relocate the obstruction in order that the
lighthouse department might replace the
buoy. Now we had the exact bearings
of that rock as they had been laid down
when it was first located, but we could
not find it with the lead. We had to
sweep for it before we found it, and
even then it took us a whole day to catch
the elusive stone spire
Another pinnacle rock is somewhere
near the entrance of Vineyard sound. 1t

The English "Harvest Moon

One of the most beautiful things in
nature toward the end of summer is
what is called the harvest moon" Per-
sonally, | cannot recollect ever having
seen it quite 50 splendid. so coppery in
its glow. as it was in 1898; but it was
fine indeed on the first evening on which
we noticed it this year, on August 20.
and it has been WondrOuS sight on sew
eral evenings since.
1t is bette rtO watch the setting of
the molten sun and the rising of the
harvest moon from among the woods
or while high up on the great, solitary,
ridged dOwnsE In winter the moon is
scarcely ever seen better than among
the bare woods, especially when flash
ing snow covers the trees and the ground {.
and at that season, too. the fiery sunset
is most effective when seen through the
tWlgS and branches Of wood or forest
But now one cannot do better than
go high up in the silent downs. and wait
and watch for the moment when the sun
clear of the rack of cloud. rests on the
sharp edge of the hill The purple of the
hill is then transformed to red for a few
seconds. thing that. once seen and re-
Jolced in. will scarcely be forgot.
This is one of the few opportunities
in ordinary life we have of realizing the
rapid movement of the earth, for We
seem really to see the sun going down
below the purple hills, SO rapidly is it
gone once its rim has touched the top of
the down.
The rate of progress is then as a
revelation. even though We have seen it
many a time before.
