The effects are similar to those Of
chloroform. There Is a brief stage Of
excitement, followed by partial or
complete paralysis. Although many
odors were used they were found to

the young than any amount OF mere

Acre square. To say
that Long Acre had been rebuilt from
the ground up would not express
1t. The work OF rebuilding began far
below the bed Of the subway. For
more than a year the work has been
like unto mining, but to-day one can
see more than a score of iron and
stone tower buildings rising into the
clouds. To say a score of tower
buildings Is putting it mildly, because
no less than nineteen apartment ho-
tells and ten theaters are built or half
built, and many more hotels and play
houses are planned for the near fu-
ture.
All these structures are not, of
course, facing on the square itself,
but they are all between Forty-second
and Forty-eighth streets and Sixth
and Eighth avenues. A real estate
man, an architect and a contractor
who have been very actively engaged
in and around Long Acre square for
the last three years were asked the
other day to estimate the value Of the
Improvements which have taken
place and which have teen definitely
planned for the square.
The real estate man said $45 ,000,,
900, the contractor said $4,000, 900,
and the architect said s50,000,O00.
