Value of Coat OF Reindeer

A close examination ol the hair Of
the reindeer shows that the hair does
not have a hollow inside space for it's
whole length, but is d5Fidef' Or parti'
toned OFF into exceedingly numerous
cells like water-tight compartments.
These are filled with condensed air
and their walls are SO elastic and at
the same time OF such strong resist
ance that they are not broken up
either during the process OF manufac.
ture or by swelling when wet. The
cells expand in water, and thus it
happens that a man clad completely
in garments made of reindeer wool
does not sink when in water, because
he is buoyed up by means OF the air
contained in the hundreds Of thou
sands of hair cells.

ers Mr.. ARENAS Ward, Of the advertising
firm, replied: Il think what I've thought
about a good many other things-it's nobodys
business" Our comments upon that state.
ment have brought us the following letter:
New-York City, December 3, 1904
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Dear Sir. / note your two editorials addressed
to my manners. Permit me to say that one of
is laboring under IA inisapprehension / did
not recognize The Public in your reporters
voice. / did not know that The Tribune Occu-
pied Its old Roman position
| distinctly told your reporter that the dis
cUsslon lay between the Interborough company
and the Rapid Transit Commission who would
undoubtedly meet each other cOurteously as in
the past-that ii was not matter between me
and the commission or between me and the re-
porter, and l am still of this opinion
For the real public have high regard That
public Will look in vain for smashed tiles
shasty advertisements. multiplying microbes
and other products of reportorial skill | have
TOO high q regard for the real public to attempt
10 mislead il as the pecuniary interested press
has done. Yours truly,
ARTEMAs WARD.
Whether or not this is one OF Mr. Wards well
known elephantine attempts to live I'D To his
name we are uncertain. If it is meant for
humorous reJolnder, we are glad to give our
readers the pleasure Of it. If Mr. Ward seri
ously means that lie thinks the newspapers are
asking questions about the subway posters sole
~ for their own private amusement and not a.
the instruments Of real public curiosity. we
desire IN all Kindness TO disabuse him Of his
error The public interest in this matter il
widespread. The newspapers represent only
one small phase Of 1t. The newspapers nre in
receipt Of many letters from citizens protesting
against what they regard as an abuse Of pub
lie property. Societies interested in civic Drog-
ress have taken up the subject, and well known
citizens have spoken upon IT, Mr. Ward must
be more stupid than we suppose him If he act
unlly believed that his real public" was not
concerned with the conditions Of subway adver.
Using when be turned away the investigator
with the statement that 1t was "nobodys bust
ness"
II MT Ward wants to indulge In the horny
OLD TAX about "a venal press" which from time
immemoriai has risen 10 the lips OF every
schemer who found public opinion as voiced by
the press lhconvenient, ii is his privilege The
