ARCADES FOR FIFTY-NTNTH-S ST.

Plans for widening Fifty-ninth-st once
more before the Board OF Estimate. The engi-
neers report the damages for widening the
street twenty feet on the north side from Fifth
TO Second ave. as 4,159, 667. The damages to
the one short block between Fifth and Madison
aves amount to S2,516,7 40. This sum is SO vast
for such a purpose that an alternative sugges-
ton is made for widening the roadway four
feet on each side, thus providing for vehicle
traffic IN a measure, but correspondingly re-
stricting the sidewalks. Such scheme is pro-
nounced an unsatisfactory makeshift, but there
is possible compromise between the two plans
which would give the full width driveway de-
sired and also ample space for foot passen-
gers, without causing the demolition OF high
buildings and the enormous expense Of the
simple widening project That compromise is
a series Of arcades on both sides of the street,
at least in the blocks where slyscrapers stand
close to the present building line, as between
Fifth and Madison ayes.
The sidewalks on both sides OF the street
could be thrown into the roadway, bringing the
curb up to the walls Of the buildings. Then
ten feet OF the first floor Of the buildings could
be taken for sidewalks, arched spaces could be
cut where windows and doors now are and the
show windows or walls, could be recessed.
Thus the needed widening could be secured
without seriously disturbing the buildings with
out diminishing at all the space in their upper
stories, and taking off from the first story no
more than II is proposed to take for the widen
ing It is obvious that the cost OF construction
Of arcades by this method, and the damages to
property, would be vastly less than for widen
ing. An easement Of narrow strip on one floor
OF a building would cost trife in comparison
with the expense Of buying all the stories and
reconstructing great skyscrapers
An arcade OF this kind would be novelty In
New-York, but that is nothing against 1t. The
Rue de Rivoli, In Paris. is arcaded for q long
distance, and the effect IS in every way charm
ing. The arcades OF Bologna, which extend
throughout the city, are famous and wonder
fully attractive. Other cities have turned to
arcades TO relieve the congestion OF narrow
streets. Practically every advantage desired
can be secured for traffic without wholesale de-
struction OF valuable property. The Board of
Estimate should consider the possibility of ar

THE APPEAL OF TASSAR.

The appeal in behalf Of Vassar College issued
by the trustees living in this vicinity and pub
lished elsewhere in The Tribune to-day must
arouse the interest of every friend OF hlgher
education in New-York. Vassar is In sense
local institution. 1t Is situated in what is al
most a suburb of this city, and New-fork
women who go away from home to college go
there in larger numbers than anywhere else
AS the pioneer in the development of the mod
ern type of woman's college, an institution
whose foundation marked the beginning or an
era, Vassar has particular claims to graterui
remembrance. 1t also deserves credit Tor ana
support in its policy Of self-restraint, which IL
might have abandoned with financial profit to
the injury of the educational ideals or the
whole country. vassar has maintained healthy
conservatism. 1t has not sought publicity for
itself or the young women in its charge, and 1t
has been content TO give sound, well rounded
college education without masquerading In Ger
man university disguise.
With the foundation Of other womens COL
Ieges vassar no longer attracts the attention
and wonder that IL did years ago, but 1t has
made steady progress, erected many new build
ings to accommodate the needs OF growing
student body, which now numbers $50, and has
taxed its present resources to the utmost. The
college never was wealthy. Matthew Vassars
gift Of $500, 900, considered large in his day. is
a small sum compared with what are thought
merely reasonable endowments for even small
colleges now. For an institution with almost
thousand students its resources are totally in
adequate. Mr.. Rockefeller's offer Of 100000. II
IL can be duplicated by other subscriptions. fur
nishes the opportunity to put the finances Of
vassar on a basis BETTING college occupying
the place in educational history and doing the
work that it does. The appeal of the trustees
should receive generous response.

REPLACING LOST EARS.

The operation of transferring an ear from one
man to another, which is to be initiated In this
CITY this week. may be without an exact par
aIlel but there is reason to hope that ii Will
succeed 1t may be taken for granted that the
two persons who participate in the exchange
are in vigorous health. Much, of course, de-
ponds upon that. The only other great essential
to a happy result is mechanical dexterlty ON
the part of the surgeon. Skin grating has been
tried so often in the last thirty or forty years,
and usually with such favorable consequences,
that perfect adhesion in the present instance
would seem to be only question of time
In the majority of cases transplanted tissue is
entirely removed from one subject before being
applied to the other Occasionally only part
of II is freed from it's original resting place at
first IT, In a case of that sort, contact with
new surface is not followed promptly by
healthy union, the graft will continue to re-
ceive some nutrition from the living bond be-
tween the two persons This is probably the
most critical part Of the experiment After nor
NAL relations are once established between the
first part OF the annexed flesh and its new
site, it is an easy matter to separate the re-
mainder and bring it into position. Nature may
then be expected TO complete the work she has
begun. The task which DIR. Nelden has under
taken involves two operations therefore, and
in order to perform them he Will he obliged TO
work in exceedingly narrow limits. In spite of
that hinderance, ii is not improbable that his
own and his patients hopes will be realized.
An incident of this kind raises the question
how far art can supply the place Of living
tissue, either on the man who pays high
price for the substitute he is about to acquire,
or the one who is willing TO part with ear
for such an inducement That appendage is not
the real organ of hearing. 1t is needed only for
the sake of appearances, like a glass eye. An
artificial ear made Of celluloid. modelled to cor
respond with the natural member still left on
the other side OF the head, and tinted to re-
semble flesh. might be worn for years without
exciting a suspicion of it's eenuineness Some
trouble would be experienced in keeping it in
place. perhaps. Its adjustment and retention
would not be so easy as in the case of glass
eye false teeth However, a light fixture
such as telephone girls wear on the head could
be provided, which would serve the purpose
admirably. and which might be discoverable
only on close inspection. Concealment might be
promoted by skull cap or n luxuriant growth
OF hair. A person thus equipped would proha-
bly, be able 10 walk the streets and ride in pub
lie vehicles without offending the sensibilities
OF others or provoking ridicule. Besides the
