ASSESSING "A BRONX LoTLET.
Eorty--F'oEr Square Inches OF Groun d
in New York Valued at Two 35
Hundred Dollars. *

Inc assessors have been called
upon to assess what is relatively the
most valuable piece Of real estate il
the entire city, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, and have al.
praised it at $500. This may seem
e paradox. But $500 is fun value

northeast corner of Third avenue
and One Hundred and Eorty-ninth
Istreet. It is triangular in shape and
measures 8 inches on the avenue, Ia
inches on the street and Is inches on
the northeasterly line. It, therefore,
contains 40 square inches.
Last May it sold for 5000, or SIS a
square inch. That would be $72O a
square foot, or at the rate Of ST $780,
900 for q full lot Of 2, 800 square feet,
Q price unequaled even in the fnan-
cial section Of Manhattan. Prior to
the adoption of the full value as
sessment plan the spot Of land,
which is about big enough for a man
to stand upon on one foot, was as
sessed at about $50 and the taxes
were about 20 cents. The assessors
evidently read the accounts of the
sale on May 20 last year, tucked the.
clippings away for future use and
swooped down on the owner with an
assessment on January ~ Of $500.
The taxes this year, therefore, win
be ct the $1.45 rate, $3.50. !ss. !.

AS the above item falsely intimates

represent ideas that have made epochs
in the industrial history of the world
So far as possible, the first thing of
it's kind in every line of human inven-
ton will be shown. For instance, Wis
itors will have an opportunity to see
the actual sewing machine which was
the first practical continuance of its
kind ever constructed. It was patented
in 1876 by Elias Howe. Previously, in
1912, J. J. Greenough had obtained a
patent for sewing machine. which
carried the cloth along automatically,
having a needle with hole in the mid
die.
Equally interesting in it's way is the
earliest typewriter, which was pat
ented by c.. Thurber in 1912. The type
keys are set around the periphery of
horizontal brass wheel, and in or
der to print a letter it is merely neces-
sary to punch one of the buttons,
which causes the type to descend
through little tube and make a mark
upon a slip Of white paper.
The exhibit will include a model OF
the first cast-iron pillow, which was pat
ented by Charles Newbold in 1897, and
the first screw propeller, which was
invented by Robert Hook In 1880.
The invention of the steamboat Is
credited to Robert Fulton, yet in the
seventeenth century .Denys Papin
launched on the Seine, in France, a boa
that was run by steam. It is matte,
of historical record that the river
barge men smashed Papin's boat be-
cause they feared that it would in.
lure their business.

THE FAIR AT NIGHT.
Lights of Changing Hues Will Flood
the St. Louis Picture.
Other Ingenious Contrivances in
Revealing Beauty of the
Worlds Fair I'm Her Robe
of Darkness.

The night effects of the Exposition
will be symphony in color. The ex-
1ibit buildings will be bathed in pure
white light, which will bring out into
strong relief their beautiful outlines
and the richness of the tints and mural
paintings on their screen walls.
Chief Henry Rustin, who is head of
the department Of electrical design, has
charge of this important feature. Act
ing in the same capacity at Omaha and
Buffalo, he set so high standard
there that his effort to outdo it at
St. Louis is the supreme one Of his
life.
BY ingeniously contrived lights the
whole picture will be flooded at night
with changing hues. At one time the
scene will be harmony of violet
changing into amber, emerald, crimson
and amethyst, running the whole
gamut of color combinations so skill
fully that the spectator hardly will: be
conscious where one color leaves Oft
and the other begins. But through all
the changes of colors thrown on the
buildings it will be possible for the
cascades to retain a distinctive tint.
Mercury vapor lamps are +: cleverly
concealed in the bases OF the sculp-
ture, lining the sides Of the cascades,
the rays being thrown from concealed
redectors through small windows 1t

THE STATE PALACES.
Fifty Three American Common
wealths Represented.
This Includes Our Territories and Is
land POssesSiOns Not Included In
Former Expeditions Notable
Feature of the St. Louis Fair.

State and territorial participation
in the Worlds Fair of 1904 is upon
scale that exceeds the most sanguine
expectations. There are fifty-five
states, territories and island posses
sions of the United States. Fifty
three of these are represented, a move
ment is on foot in the f1fty-fourth to
raise fund for participation, and
there are prospects that the f1fty-fifth
will not permit itself to go down into
history as the sole state unrepresented
at the greatest exposition ever held.
Forty-five of these states and ter
ritories have appropriated money for
buildings or groups OF buildings on
the exposition grounds The majority
of the buildings already are completed
or we'll under way. Many of them are
magnificent mansions
The two states not yet officially rep
resented are New Hampshire and Del
aware. In New Hampshire fund is
being raised by private subscription in
order that the Old Home State may
participate. The eight states and pos
o~SSAOAAo NV A0pA OoSAAOA W oSP0A q ~
buildings, but providing generous
displays, are Alabama. Colorado,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Wyo-
ming, Vermont, Florida and Porto
Rico.
At the Columbian Exposition in
Chicago there were thirty-nine state
and territorial buildings-six less than
at st. Louis. States and possessions
participating at st. Louis and absent
from Chicago are Alaska, Georgia, Ha-
wall, Indian Territory, Philippine Is
lands, Porto Rico, South Carolina and
Tennessee.
The aggregate amount appropriated
thus far for state and territorial par
ticipation at St. Louis is $6,764, 1856.
The total expenditure at Chicago for
such purposes was $5,414,031. The diff
ference in favor of St. Louis, four
months before the exposition opens,
is 81, 350.95
The Filipino reservation at St. Louis
occupies forty acres and includes
scores of buildings It is aptly termed
an exposition within an exposition.
Alaska has three buildings. The In
dian Territory building is large and
roomy structure, in which will De

Of spectators from any point of view.
In this light the waters of the cas-
cades will have the appearance at one
time Of a ghostly phosphorescent tor
rent, at another moment of floods OF
opal gems and again of cataract of
living flame.
Every source of the wonderful ka-
leidoscopic effects will be ingeniously
hidden. 1t will be possible to pick out
different parts of the hill and its
structures in different colors. Thus
while the hall in the center will be
a rose color, one arm OF Nhe colon
made orange, the other violet and the
twin pavilions emerald, the whole
splendid effect will be attained without
confusion of colors.
The night effects on other parts of
the site have not been forgotten An
electric fountain, that will be thing
of beauty and riot of color, surpass-
ing anything of the kind ever designed,
will occupy point OF vantage on the
grounds. The exhibit buildings al
night will appear to be giant cornices
Of white light supported at the four
corners and the centers by immense
pavilions of light. The rest of tbs
facadcs will be so treated that their
massive columns will be silhouetted
against the screen walls which will
be banks of blazing white light

perfect combinations of coziness and
beauty. Some of the buildings are in
the style of clubhouses. Others are

hunting lodges and cottage homes
