RADIUM AND SOLAR HEAT.

The most obvious answer would be that
this does happen. but that the cooling
of so large a body is too slow to be
noticeable even in very Ior1 periods Of

to be a plausible solution enough. But

NEW YORK, July 1S.-For the past
decade complaint has been general, es-
pecially in this city, of the great in
crease of the cost of living. Yet, from
an inquiry among the heads Of the big
corporations centering in New York, it
would seem as though the income Of
the typical New Yorker has more than
kept pace with the increased cost of
living.
Under big headlines it was recently
announced that there were fully a
score of men in this city on regular
salaries whose pay was equal to $780,
900 a year each, while at least 200 more
received salaries ranging from $4,000
to $4,000 each. This is entirely exclu-

position the work will be under way
early this fall.
BY this plant II is figured that the
city can secure It's 2O0o-candlepower ars
lights for street lighting purposes at
ss4.o7 a year, ss against s14e which It
now is paying to the existing affiliated
lighting companies. The estimates OF
the electrical engineers employed by the
city place at 81 cents a kilowatt hour
the cost Of incandescent lights for pub
lie buildings, as against 10 cents which
now is paid.
The plant which the city proposes to
build IL designed to supply power suf-
ficient to maintain $1,000 arc lamps
and 100000 1e-candlepower incandes-
cent lamps. 1t will cover an entire
city block bounded by East river,
Avenue A, Ninetieth and Ninety-frst
streets, and the estimated cost Of the
building with equipment Is s7,567,OOO.
The total annual operating expenses
and fixed charges are estimated at ST.
269, 900.
Such plant would light all the
streets. parks and public buildings of
the city and would do away entirely
with the thousands of gas lamps
Which still do duty in many of the city
streets. An annual saving of $1,4S1,0O0
t, the city is estimated as the result
of having the municipality enter the
lighting field on it's own account.
So great has become the adulterated
food industry that during the first
week in July the health department
detected and condemned no less than
one million pounds OF impure foods re-
ceived here for the local market.
This reveals a condition which, ac-
cording to the health department, is
confined to no district but is general
throughout the city. Included in the
list of condemned articles was almost
everything in the line of foodstuffs, al,
though fruits, canned goods, meats
and milk predominated. The detec-
tions Of the health department inspec-
tors apparently are largely on the in
crease. During the year 1904 five and
a half million pounds of impure food
were condemned, so that the condem-
nations of the first week in July alone
were equal to one-fifth of the total for
the whole year preceding.
The tremendous amount Of work re-
quired of the health department In the
examination Of food in this city of
1000 900 population Is indicated by the
fact that during this record-breaking
week in question 16.742 inspections of
food were made together with 227
chemical analyses. This, too, In view
of the fact that 1t is physical impos-
sibility to inspect all food brought into
the city and sold here.
One Of the most difficult contracts
ever assumed by decorators and build
