SECOND CITY IN WORLD.
New York Expects the State Census
to Give It That Position
When Taken.

New York.-There is little doubt that
the state census will show that New
York city has population of 4,00,-
600, A forevast based upon the re-
suit of the last census indicates
that Manhattan Brooklyn together
will be found to have about
100000, the Bronx about 325,000,
Queens about 100000, and Richmond
about $4,000. The sum of these appor-
tionments is 4,O71 900. The shrinkage
will hardly be SO much that the total
will fall materially below 100000
New York may not pass London and
become the largest city in the world, as
some enthusiasts prophesy, but it is
easy the second largest city on the
globe, having taken that position from
Paris during the last few years. BY the
census of 1901 Paris had population Of
2,174,000 1t probably has not far, if at
all, passed 100000.
Berlin is growing with greater rela-
tive rapidity than Paris, having a pop
ulation of nearly 100000, but it would
be a miracle if the German capital out
stripped New York during the next
quarter or half century. During recent
years this city has been gaining at the
rate of about three per cent per annum.
The housing of the yearly addition of
100000 to the population of the metrOp-
oils has been very difficult problem,
but has been pretty well solved by the
multiplication Of apartment-houses.
With the completion of tunnels and SUBJ
ways, new bridges, and new trolley
lines, a general movement to the SUBJ
urbs is expected, and probably will take
place, but nearly all of these desirable
suburban places are within the limits
of greater New York.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
Office Clerks Use Electric Fan for
Gambling Machine and Instru-
ment Is Taken Out

For several days the puzzled of
flee manager was wondering why
il was that the clerks should be
gathered about the electric fans in
the rear of the Office. 1t was even
more odd that on his entrance they
should suddenly lose their inter
est in the cooling breeze, says the
New York Sun.
The other afternoon he was
called into consultation with an.
other firm, and remarked to the
chief clerk that should he not re-
turn it would be we'll to close up
the Office a little earlier than usual
on account of the heat.
1t was half-past five when he ap.
preached the Office. He knew that
the place would be closed, but
there were certain papers that he
wanted to take home with him. To
his surprise, the Office door was
open and ne could hear excited
voices. just as he reached the
doorway there was the whirr of
an electric fan. The noise of the
fan stopped, and there was an ex-
cited argument as to whether the
number was two or three.
He was well into the room be-
fore his approach was observed.
and he discovered that the chief
clerk and his secretary we're using
the electric fan as a wheel of fur
tune. The four blades were num-
bered, and each took two of the
blades. The fan was permitted to
run for a moment, and when the
current was shut off the number
nearest the top of the guard won
the quarter stakes. The ais out
of commission now.

THE ANlmUs or ANIMALS.
Big Beasts Are Easily Trained, But
Never Tamed--some on
Their Tricks

"Wild animals have a great
many ways Of showing their con
tempt for humankind said am
artist who has made speciality of
modelling animals
Everyone has an idea that
elephants become tame and even
fond of people, but that is alto.
gether wrong. They are easily
trained, but are never tanned.
They are docile just so long as the
keeper has his goad in his hand or
the memory of burning endures.
! had proof of this one day while
modelling one of the elephants in
a big animal show. | was sitting in
his stall with my modelling stand,
not knowing that on certain days
he was given an extra allowance
of chain. Suddenly he flung his
trunk around with such force
that il smashed the stand to bits
and sent me a dozen feet outside
the STALL
Gle never forgot his failure to
finish me, and soon afterward he
expressed his dislike in a more
vulgar if less dangerous manner.
As ! worked l heard him making
a loud sucking noise, but suspect
ed nothing. At last, when he had
his mouth quite full of saliva, he
blew it toward me.
This is not only a trick of ele-
plants, but of other animals as
well, as / have learned to my sor-
row. Camels have the same habit,
and while working near a camel
one day l was treated to a shower
Of finely chewed cud."
This sculptor and other artists
agree that the cat animals have a
different mode of attack. There
seems less of spite and more OF
real hate in their method. Sculp-
tors usually place their modelling
stands as close to the bars as pos
sible. This same one was once
workingclose toa tigers cage, with
the beast inside lying very quiet,
apparently asleep. Without even
raising his eyelids the big cat
struck between the bars with his
hwy, .forepaw, splintering the
stand and sending the clay in wadS
on the floor. The artist, warned
by a sixth sense developed by
those who are much about ami
mails, had jumped back just in
time to escape.

Ask the geologist ifthe tyd, ant
OF the hills is beine1n spite Of the
ne viii tell Tor wealth which has
prevailed since the California dis
covery, there are still regions
which are but little known to the
prospector, says the Pilgrim,
While in some starvation or death
from thirst awaits the adventurer
who dares to penetrate them with
out sufficient food and water,
there are others which are com
paratively accessible and which
may yield as great riches as any of
the famous bonanzas yet struck.
Only recently one of the most
famous gold fields was enteredfo for
the first time by prOspector. Not
until 1900 was TOnapah discov-
cred, yet today it is known
throughout the world, and the
mountainside and valley are
pierced with over 100 openings
from each of which are daily be
ing taken car loads of gold and sill
YER ore. In May, 1903, a young
lawyer named Butler, living in
the town of Belmont, took it into
his head to go on prospecting ex
petition among the mountains to
the south of his home. Butler
knew little or nothing about geol-
ogy or mining, but he had heard
Indians tell stories about traces
of gold they had seen near spring
known as Tonopah. Packing an
outfit on the back of half a dozen
burrOs and with o3e companion,
he started out, reaching the spring
after a journey of about "a hours.
He soon found what the miner
calls OutcrOppings-quartz rock
nearly black in color, and specked
with yellow. Butler seriously
questioned its value, but decided
to knock off some samples, which
were taken back to Belmont and
assayed, it being found that every
ton of ore similar to the sample
might contain from $50 to 500
worth of gold or silver. This was
enough for the prospectOr, who
again packed up, but this time de-
cided to take his wife along in the
belief that the presence of a WON
an might give him better luck.
Stalking out several claims among
the rocks he asked his wife to
name the first one. This she did,
calling it Mizpah. 1t was among
the first to be opened, and from
that day to this Mizpah has been
the richest mine located in the
TOnOpah field.

A wOOdsman walks with a roll

inch or more to the stepping side
and his pace is cOrrespOndingly
long. This hip action may be no
ticed to an exaggerated degree in
the stride of a professional pedes.
trian, but the latter walks with a
heel and toe step, whereas an Indi-
ans or sailors step is more nearly
hat-footed. In the latter case the
center of gravity is covered by the
whole foot.
The poise is as secure as that
of a rope walker. The toes are
pointed straight forward, or
even a trifle inward, so that the in
side of the heel, the outside of the
ball of the foot, and the smaller
toes, all do their share of work and
assist in balancing. Walking in
the WoOdsin this manner one is moi
likely either to trip over project
ing roots, stones and other traps
as he would if the feet formed
hooks pointing outward. The ad
vantage is obvious in snOwshoe
ing. If the Indian were turned to
stone while in the act of stepping
the statue would probably stand
balanced on one foot.
This gait gives the limbs great
control over his movements. He
is always poised. If stick cracks
under him it is because of his
weight, and not by reason of the
impact. He goes silently on and
with great economy of force. His
steady balance enables him to put
his moving foot down as gently as
you would lay an egg on the table
