Thus speaks Col W D. Mann. edi-

the prospective publisher of a certain
volume of back-action praise to be
called ''Fads and Fancies.''
On this the New York Times COM
ments tersely:
It must be difficult. with all that stuff

And to that the thoughtful reader
will add these questions:
Why did the publishers of a pure
periodical" gather such stuff?
Why were the publishers of "clean
newspaper chosen as possible buyers
of such stuff?
Why did men who were trying to
run a pure periodical give approval
to folio of gusn about persons,
many of whom. it appears, stood con-
victed in the publishers own safe of

NEW STATION AT CONEY
B. r. T. Planning Big Structure to
Accommodate CrO1gds.

One Of the most important of the improve
ments being made by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company is the construction Of four
track station. a shop building. inspection
pits and sheds and storage yard for equipment
at the old Union Station, 5th-ave. and 36th-st.
Actual work on these changes and improve
ments, which will cost in the neighborhood of
$250O00 has just been begun.
The traffic to Coney Island and Bay Ridge
has become so large In recent years that it be
came necessary to make some improvements in
order to facilitate the movements and assure
the safety of trains at this important point. for
it is here that the Bay Ridge line branches off
and the Bath Beach, Culver and Sea Beach
lines leave the elevated structure for the sur
face.
A new four track station is being built, with
two island Platforms each more than three hun
dred feet long. The tracks will be connected
by underhanging galleries. The tracks and
yards will be protected by new set of electric
interlockng switches. operated from a steel
tower opposite the station
In the rear of the station is being built a stor-
age yard and inspection shed. with capacity of
260 elevated cars. These tracks will be parallel
to 36th-st. and will be crossed by a ladder track
to carry cars from one track to another, which
is to be reached by an incline from the main
line. In order to gain space for the storage
track the main line tracks being relocated
and to be carried off to the side Of high
hill between 37th and 38th sts. The inspection
she'd $50 by Ito feet is to have eight tracks, each
with accommodations for a six-car motor train
Under these tracks will be pits OF concrete for
the inspection OF the motors and other equip
ment.
The old station building will be entirely recon-
structed. The upper floor will be extended and
used for a shop superintendent's office, mill
room, locker and lavatory rooms. There will be
a min r. ua-'S
office The lower floor viii be extended to tn
ST., making a 20O-foOt frontage q level with
5th-ave. Here will be the machine shop, the
stock room and the room for overhauling trucks
and motors. Cranes and elevators are to be
provided for lowering trucks and other equip
ulent from the tracks overhead.

RAILROAD AS A THING OF BEAUTY.

That the Identification of railroad where It

strength among railway men, and has already

line OF track bordered with we'll kept grass that

When the suburban dweller gets feel at home
