It is very reasonable to suppose il the

that tho building itself is bound TO
come down. This same principle can
be applied to disease. Take medicine

Miss Norma Munro, who used to be
an active figure in New York life, has
gone to'Paris and will probably remain
there for some time. She has taken an
apartment and has made no definite
plans for returning to this country.
After her brief experience as the as
soeiate manager of theater that did
not succeed, Miss Munro did not lose
her interest in theatrieals. She merely
transferred them to playwrighting and
she is now an enthusiastic student of
that art. 1t is with this object that
she has gone to Paris. She is said TO
be absorbed in her effort to succeed in
writing a play that will win her fame
and money, of which, however, she is
not much in need.

In order to prevent further danger
from leakage to the interior, as well
as the exterior of Grants tomb, it has
been decided to render the monument
waterproof, and the work of preserva-
tion is already we'll under way. The
system used is identical with that en-
PLACED in saving the Oblisk in Central
Park. 1t consists in filing all the
pores and interstices of the stone with
parafine, which is unaffected either by
acids, by alkalies, by water, or by the
gases in the atmosphere. The melting
point of paraffine is about 14O de-
grees Fahrenheit, so the stone, to un-
dergo the waterproofing, must be heat
ed by hot compressed air to tempera-
ture little above this. The paraffine
wax is then melted and sprayed over
the surface, and this coating is finally
driven by compressed air into the
pores of the stone to a depth of about
a quarter of an inch. 1t is estimated
that by means of this treatment stone
may be kept in state of excellent
preservation for a hundred years or
more.

There is little doubt that the subway
has drawn an enormous amount of
traffic from the Metropolitan Street
Railway company. 1t is said that a
study of the situation, made by per-
sons in the employ of the Metropoli-
tan company, shows that the subway
has not only taken away great deal
of the long haul business Of the surface
limos, but that it has also cut into the
cross-town traffic. Uptown residents
can now reach points off the line of the
elevated by taking the subway cars.
Until the subway was opened for traf-
fc these uptown East and West Side
residents were obliged to avail them
selves of the transfer system of the
Metropolitan lines. The decrease in
the traffic of the Metropolitan has
caused revival of the rumors that
the company will be forced to accept
a merger with the Interborough COM
pany at terms dictated by the latter,
but the report is as devoid of official
as heretofore.

to be removed, and the district looks
like city that has been devastated
by fire. The work Of preparation for
the building Of the great terminal has
been carried on with remarkable celeri-
ty. On an average, 600 men and $50
teams have been employed daily in
getting rid of the hundreds of we'll
built brick and stone structures that
stood on the property. Three immense
steam shovels, each capable of lifting
20 tons in one effort, and so steam
drills capable of bouring through 81

in following out the large space which
win be occupied by acres of railroad
tracks and underground structures of

One of the questions now being in

for the increase in the ravages of the

were 6S2 deaths from pneumonia in
