Industrial Martyrs.

From the Technical World.
Year by year grows the death roll OF In
dustrial martyrs. In the matter of gaining
a livelihood. the impression Is forced upon
us that peace is more dangerous than war.
The question arises: Why do men and
women engage in such occupations OF
hazard? All, why? The question formu-
lates its own answer. They are necessary
to the life of the civilized world, and neces-
ssty knows no law of safety, of health
or of anything else. Life to exist must de-
stroy life; and the fittest survive. Man
may not choose his occupation-at least. the
majority of mankind may not. Fate, en-
yironment-what not?-puts these industrial
martyrs where they are: and only from age.
Illness or accident may they turn to some
less strenuous, less dangerous and always
less gainful occupation Many descend to
that sad lot of those who are described as
having no settled employment. It Is from
such ranks that street sweepers, cab
drivers and the like are recruited.

THE Capitol is situated On pleasant emil
nence, commanding a view of every part OF
the city and of a considerable portion OF
the country around. The Presidents house
stands rising ground. possessing water
prospect, together with view of the Capt.
toll and the most material parts of the city.
Lines avenues OF direct communication
have been devised to connect the most dis
tant and important objects. These trans
verse avenues, or diagonal streets, are laid
out on the most advantageous ground for
prospect and convenience. and are calcu-
lated not only to produce variety of pros
poets. but greatly to facilitate the commu-
nication throughout the city.

Presbyterians and Episcopalians are the
prevailing denominations mentioned, but
there are also Roman Catholics, Methodists

The population of the District for 1910 Is
given 16,OS3 whites, b.395 slaves and 2,540
free black, a total of 24,O23. That of 1900
was but 8, 124-5,652 whites, 2,072 slaves and
400 free black.
THE manners of the greater part of this
District" he says, are much the same as
Of those of the states to which they lately
belonged. The inhabitants of the city of
Washington, recently collected from all
parts of the world, and many of them per-
sons of distinction and influence, must,
body, of course, possess a new character,
the features of which are not yet so ma
tured as to be distinctly marked and de
scribed."
Topography Considered.
OF Washington he says: Although the
land on which the city Is situated in gen
eral appears level, yet by gradual swellings
a variety of elegant prospects are pro-
duced and a sufficient descent formed for
conveying off the water occasioned by rain.
Within the limits of the city are a great
number of excellent springs, and by dig
ging wells water of the best quality is
found. Besides. the never-failing streams
that now run through this District may also
be collected for the use Of the city.
THE waters of Reedy branch and of Ii
Der creek may be conveyed to the Presi-
dents house The source Of the Tiber is
elevated about 1856 feet above the level Of
the tide. The perpendicular height of the
ground on which the Capitol stands is sew
enty-elght feet above the level of the tide
In Tiber creek. The water of this creek
may therefore be conveyed to the Capitol
and after watering that part of the city
may be destined to other useful purposes

BEST THINGS SUBURBAN
THE CLAIM MADE BY ROBINSON
& COMPANY.
Several Subdivisions Placed on the
Market and the Advantages
They Offer.

The firm of Robinson & Company Qncor-
northwest. claims to be the leaders in the
best things suburban" and has large and
valuable subdivisions which 1t is at the
present time disposng of on the market.
Its properties include the Connecticut Ave-
nue. Highlands, Silver Spring Park. North
Columbia Heights and its latest addition,
Fourteenth Street Heights.
This firm predicts that the present year
will far exceed in the number of sales the
transactions of last year. and that judg-
ing from the present demands for homes in
the suburbs, and for investment properties
in outlying sections, the members say the
coming year will prove a record-breaker.
Beyond the District line In the state of
Marylan the demand for property has been
very active and the indications point to an
increase In the sales and In the value of
property. At Silver Spring Park, which is
located at Silver Spring, Md, on the lines
of the Forest Glen electric road and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad active build
ing operations have been resumed and the
demand for acreage lots has commenced
with the opening of spring. This popular
suburb has been one of the most active
around Washington and contains about 300
lots, a large number of which have been
sold and homes erected upon them. The
streets have been graded and sidewalks
are now under construction. The prices of
the tracts, 1t is said are within the reach
or persons of reasonable means and small
salaries, thus enabling a large number to
Dulld and own their own homes.
