70 VENTlLATE STREET CAR
Invention Of Brooklyn Health On
Ger Said to Work Well Without
i ,5... Causing Chilling Draft

z !. A simple method for effectually ven
,tilating street cars without causing a
draft; has been devised by. Dr.. Walker,
chief OF the health department Of
Brooklyn. Confronted with the prob
lem of providing for the ingress of
fresh air and the egress Of foul air
without subjecting the passengers to
a chilling draugt. Dr.. Walker sought
the simplest possible means. He had
two openings made in the deck
sash" of car about ten inches apart,
into which were fitted Stats to defect
the intake of air to the roof of the car.
Between these openings a shingle was
extended from the side of the car so
the wind would strike against it when
the car was in motion.
The principle on which Dr. Walker
proceeded was that air would strike
the front Of the single and be defect
ed'into the car, while dust. cinders,
ETC., would fall to the ground. Stimuli
taneously the forward motion would
create q vacuum in the rear which
would suck out the vitiated air of the
car through the rear Stats. The cold,
fresh air introduced would sink to-
ward the floor and the heated, the viii
ated air would rise and pass out.
He had rags and refuse burned in
the car until the atmosphere was re1l-
dered absolutely unbearable. The car
was then set in motion at the average
rate Of speed, Is to Is miles an hour,
and DR.. Walker reports that within
two minutes and 80 seconds the air
within was absolutely fresh and pure
1t is estimated that during the time
the car was in motion 800 cubic feet
Of air minute came into the opening
in the front and a similar amount was
exhausted in the rear. The absence Of
a draft to which passengers would
have been subjected was particularly
noticed, as the progress of the fresh
air to the bottom of the car was so
gradual it could not be detected by a
lighted taper.

The extent to which Japen is be-
coming Anglicized is shown more or
less by the ever increasing use of the
English language, in TOXIC. There are
few large shops which do not exhibit
some sign or other written in English,
and the same is true to less degree
of other large cities in Japan. There
is hotel here which displays an an
nouncement reading as follows.

The municipal ordinances of this city
contain the following specimen Of Eng
lish literature:
ANY dealer shall be honestly by his
trade. OF course, the sold one shall
prepare to make up the safe package. -
A Toxic dentist recently sent out a
circular written in both Japanese and
English. The so-called English portion
read as follows:
"Our tooth is an important organ
for human life and countenance, as you
know: therefore when it is attack by
disease or injury, artificial tooth is also
very useful. I am engaged in the den-
tistry and will make for your pur-
pose."
A shoemaker displays a signboard
containing the words:
"Shoos maid and men dead hear"
At Nikko you can buy bottle of
claret which has a printed label on it
like this:
Weak men who is not 30 hard of
his stomach takes notice of his health
ever must use wine usually"
Fortunately for the buyer of the
wine, the claret is not as bad as the
English.

FLOWER GIRL HITS KING.
Bad Aim Of Buxom Maiden Causes Her
Arrsst-Ruler Orders Her
Released.

Excess Of loyalty and a bad aim got
. buxom flower girl. by name Margaret
Smith, into trouble.
When the king paid his visit to Lon
don recently to lay the foundation
stone OF the new buildings OF St. Bar
tholomew's hospital, Margaret, who a:
a matter OF business sells sweet-smell.
ing roses in the Euston road, though,
she would take holiday in order THAI
she might see her sovereign.
Margaret, who brought an Offering
with her-a lovely bunch of roses-too:
up her stand where New Oxford stree,
Joins Shaftesbury avenue. AS the king
was driving by on his return the flower
seller threw her floral tribute into the
royal carriage with God bless your
majesty -
But strong in the arm az well as
loyal of heart, Margaret threw the
bunch harder than she knew. and
struck the king full in the face, His
majesty smiled, for he was not hurt,
while ne understood the good intention
which lay behind the blow.
A Jealous constable, however, only
saw disloyalty and insult in the act,
and Margaret was promptly marched
on to Bow street and locked up. For
tunately for the flower girl, the author
tiles at Bow street referred the matter
to the king, with the result that his
majesty ordered the girls immediate
release
To-day Margaret 10 more loyal than
ever, and when next she goes to see the
king she will take two punches of roses
but she will be more careful of her
aim.

NEGRO REALTY COMPANY.
Race Prejudice 1nstigates Formation
Of Organization In New York
to Combat tho Evil,

To combat race prejudice against
negro tenants in white districts, the
Afro-American Realty company has
started an aggressive campaign in
New York city. Negro real estate op-
orators and investors organized the
company recently with a capital stock
of 100000. They have subscribed for
100000 and the remaining 100000 is
offered to- negro capitalists at $40 a
share.
"The idea that negroes must be con-
fined to certain localities can be done
away WITH" says the prospectus. so
can the idea that it is not practical to
put colOred and white tenants together
in the same house. Race prejudice is
a luxury, and, like all other luxuries;
it can be made very expensive. With
a cash capital of 100000 the Afro
American Realty company can turn
race prejudice into dollars and cents"
The company owns four five-story
flats valued at $125, 900 and holds ten
other fiat houses under f1ve-year
leases. 1t has opened luxurious or
fees in the Boreel building. In the
same building are the Offices of many
brokers', including the headquarters
Of the board of real estate brokers.
All of the company's officers, direc-
tors aid clerks are negroes. The CON-
pany appeals to the negro investors
exclusively. The prospectus says:
Income property in this city, when
properly managed, will pay from Is to
rs per cent. ON the dollar, with $780,
600 in this manner invested, even If
we never resold any of our holdings at
q profit

PER CAPITA OF WHEAT
CONSUMPTION.

The current issue of the Crop
Reporter contains statisticsshow-
ing the estimated consumption
of wheat per capita in certain
countries, divided into two class
es designated respectively i'm
porting and exporting countries.
The statement was prepared by
w. S. Patterson of the Liverpool
Corn Exchange. and submitted
to the British royal commission
on supply of food and raw ma
terial in time of war;" Mr.. Pat
terson finds that France consum-
es more wheat per capiat than
any of the nineteen countries re-
ported by him, with Sweden con-
Stunning the least. In proportion
to the population of the countries
Russia consumes an insignificant
quantity, the figures being 2.6
bushels. The United States is
credited with At bushels per
head. Mr.. Patterson's estimate
follows:
In Importing Countries-Unit-
ed Kingdom, Sc bushels; Ger
many, 80 bushels; Belgium, 7.2
bushels; France, 7.8 bushels;
Holland, SO bushels; Italy, A
bushels; Spain, 5.3 bushels: Por-
tuagl, 2.3 bushels; Sweden, 20
bushels; Greece, 3.3 bushels;
Austria-Hungary, 3.6 bushels;
Switzerland, 81 bushels.
In Exporting Countries-Unit-
ed States, At bushels; Canada,
5.5 bushels; Russia, 2.6 bushels;
Balkan provinces, 4.3 bushels;
India, or bushels; Australia, SIS
bushels; Argentina, 40 bushels.
In submitting the report he
says:
4 "It is possible to make a fairly
accurate estimate of the per cap
tia consumption of wheat in the
United Kingdom because by far
the largest proportion of the
whole comes from abroad and can
be exactly ascertained. This re-
mark would also apply to Bel
GUM, Holland, and possibly one
or two minor countries. -
THE estimate for other coun-
tries can not be so accurate, be-
cause it chiefly relies on their
own estimate of production,
which, although in many cases
carefully supervised, after all de-
ponds largely on the returns Of
the growers themselves.
Moreover, presume the COM
mission wishes to ascertain the
per capita consumption in each
case, and therefore the quantity
used for reseeding, which varies
somewhat in different countries
and must to some extend be esti-
mated, and also any small guam
tity used for farm seeding or siz-
ing for manufacturers, must be
deducted"
