SOME ODD OCCUPATIONS.
People In New York City Who Have
Queer Ways Of Making
Z Living

People sitting around in the sunshin,
Of Battery park few days ago wer,
astonished at the sight of a diver dis
appearing into the bay with powerful
nose stream. This was something new
70 the diving line. it seemed to them
Was the diver going to fight flames witt
MS hose at the bottom of the bay?
Later, however, relates the New Yorl
times, they learned that the diver was
simply using the hose to force to the
surface certain jetsam that had gone to
the bottom with a pier which collapsed
q lew years ago. There was a horse and
cart down there. The diver did not want
the horse. but the ironwork of the cart
and that of certain wheelbarrows and
TOOLS which had gone down was of value.
rms is only one Of the many queer
ways by which enterprising people around
the Battery make living. The park
tnere probably holds the record for queer
methods of maintaining the elusive in
come for which we are all fighting.
Ihere is the man who makes business
OF robbing people, but of course he is
not honest. There is another man who
watches in the summer months for peo-
pie to leave things on the benches, and
takes care that they are in his posses
sion before the rightful owners return.
But OF course he is INSCRIPTIONS.
Then again there is the man who
makes trip around the park every
morning picking up papers and rags and
fruit skins, all of which he sells to paper
mills. Now and then this person picks
up scarfpin. ring. or something equal
ly valuable, which he sells in the Bow
cry.
But the queerest person to be seen
around the Battery park is the man
with the little dinner pail He wears
very seedy clothes; he is gray-haired.
and the curiosity one feels over his gen.
eral appearance is further excited by
an old-fashioned pair of spectacles that
forms the dividing line between his
shaggy eyebrows an0 his bushy beard.
He goes around every morning just
after daylight with his little dinner pail
picking up minute objects from the
grass. A young man who crosses the
park very early on his way to work saw
him engaged in this mysterious work
the other morning. The young mans
curiosity had been steadily growing for
two months.
Say, old man." said he, I'm very
curious to know what you do for a liv-
ing. working with that dinner pail in
the grass every morning?"
The old man smiled and took the lid
on the dinner pail, revealing seething,
squirming mass of earthworms.
Many people have asked me the same
question, young man." said he. gravely.
Il am under contract to supply worms
or the fish in the Aquarium over there.
That is how make living"

touch to the vivid picture.
In their costuming, the actors have
kept faithfully to historic models,
dress and accessories. all being under
the supervision of white men that have
made careful study OF the Indians OF
this locality. War-paint is used Law
ishly. the garments are of the high
coloring affected by the Indians of the
past. the music is of weird Indian
character. For ornamentation. old
heirlooms have been unearthed, one
piece a necklace of wampum that has
been preserved for 200 years.
First, the audience looks upon a col
umn of smoke rising from a great pile

spouse to the signal, scores of painted
Indians appear on the heights, and
then. with shrill war-whoop, come to-
gether at the burning pile. Evidently

hearts the feud Of ages" But Gitche

and the braves. thus admonished, lay
down their weapons, throw aside their
deerskins, and jump into the water to
wash on the challenging war-paint.
The act ends with dance of joy and
the smoking Of the peace-pipe.
The symbolic dances are q very in
teresting feature of the Indian play;
the snake-dance, given to appease evil
spirits; the gambling dance, where
stakes are put up and tribe vies with
tribe for the Winnings dance full OF
excitement for both actohs and Indian
onlookers. the Ojibways beng great

had stood was added to the college
campus. And not since that time has
the university had an official residence
for its presidents. and they have lived
wherever they chose, the present head.
President Hadley occupying a brick
house on Whitney avenue and Trumbull
street. And DR.. Timothy Dwight, his
predecessor in office, still has his resi-
dence in New Haven.
But by the provisions of the will Of
Mrs. Ann Sophia Farnam, whose death
has but recently occurred. the college
will come into possession of one of the
most attractive residences in New Haven.
and the will provides that it shall be held
for the exclusive use of the presidents
of the institution. This bequest will re-
establish the long-forgotten feature OF
life at Yale, the presidents house.
At the present time the son of Mrs
Farnam, Prof Henry w. Farnam, one
of the members of Yale's faculty, is oc-
cupying the house, and the will provides
that he shall continue to do so during his
life, when the provisions of the will will
become operative, and the president OF
the university, whoever he may be at
that time, will take up his residence
there.
No more ideal place could be imagined
for the official residence of Yale's head
than the Farnam home, both as respects
to location and the elegance and roomi-
ness Of the house and grounds. The
house is situated on beautiful HiIlhouso
avenue Great shade trees line the street
before it on each side. and In the rear
spacious grounds extend through to Whit
ney avenue. The house is of brick with
brown stone trimmings.
Mrs. Farnam, whose estate was valued
at between $40O. 900 and $500. 900, also be-
lueathed to Yale securities to the amount
of 100000.
The degree in which the policy with re-
gard to the residence of Yale's president
has changed with the march of years Is
perhaps best illustrated by the fact that
when Rev. DR.. jeremiah Day was elected
to succeed DR.. Dwight he had just built

The great interest with which the
Mendelian law Is regarded by biologists
is evidenced by the fact that in q recent
number Of Biometrika no less than three
articles are devoted to it In accordance
with this law, the characteristics oil
parents are. distributed In hybrid or
spring according to numerical law, and
the hybrids are not intermediate in their
characteristics between their parent
forms. but have changed characteristics
Of one parent or the other. The law was
originally worked out in regard to GER
