 New York, Oct 27.-The eclipse of the political spell-binder of the cart tail variety is foreshadowed by the adoption. by the political parties in the present campaign. of the biograph and photograph to imbue voters with
 patriotic enthusiasm. This step supp plies whatever of comedy was previ- ously lacking in the campaign, Will liam R. Hearst first resorted to this device by talking into a photograph and posing before a biograph machine. This was found by his managers to be such g fetching novelty that the Hughes campaign managers decided to follow suit, and for the last week scores of cart-tail speakers of both sides, chosen with view to the vol ume of their voices. have been shout ing day after day into photograph cyl finders which have been distributed throughout the State for the de1ecta- tion and education of the rural voters who will cast the deciding ballots up the State. When the first announce ment of the adoption of the photograph by the Hearst leaders came, it was sug- gested that the superiority of the pho- nograph speech over the first-hand ora
 tion, hot from the lips of the spell binder, lay in the immunity of .ne machine from defeat in controversy
 However, true this observation may be 1t applies to one side as well as to
 the other. The next development we may look for its the organization of the Political Cart-Tail Orators Muthal
 Protection Association. with the Hon. Bourke Cochran as President.
 According to figures compiled by the Agricultural Department of Corneil University, New York consumes 3.36O.- 900 eggs per day. At the rate of eleven
 dozen eggs year for each hen. 1t would require 10,O00,000 hens to sup ply the annual consumption 'of eggs alone. The herd of S5.000 high grade cows necessary to supply the 333,6Se gallons of milk and 15,O60 gallons or cream consumed in New York per day. would require a pasture equal in sizez to the Borough of Brooklyn. The Bor- ough of the Bronx, which comprises forty square miles. would, If farmed' grow only about half the 10.HoO.O0u bushels of potatoes and onions neces. sary to supply New York's demands in that line. Central Park would have to be turned into an immense corn field to produce one ear of roasting corn per day for every man. woman and child in New York for period of twelve weeks each Governor lSldnu, which has about sixty acres of unused
 land would serve only to supply cu- ,.umbers to the city. This would leave the Borough of Queens. which has to- tai of 124 square miles, and probable waste area of 10,400 acres of unim proved land. to furnish the wheat and corn. The statisticians find that near ly three times this amount of land would be necessary to supply the me- tropolls with breadstuffs. For butter, of which there is an enormous daily consumption in New York. as much land as the total of New York's unim- proved areas would be necessary for the pasturing of the cows to fill this need One impressive fact shown by the fig ures is that New York could not suo- sist comfortably for more than forty eight hours If, by some catastrophe, tine city were to be cut off from the res; of the country. One of the most important pieces ot news to the pleasure, living public o1 this country Is the announcement madt this week that company has beer formed and will begin at once the con struction of private automobile course on Long Island for the cont1nu ation of the Vanderbilt Cup Races. Int course will be approximately of the same
  the three previous Vanderbilt race: but will run over private property It will be a wide, carefully construct , ed roadway, which throughout the en tire year. except during the period O | the race and the preliminary trials will be maintained for public use a A toll road The plans of the compan! of which w. K. Vanderbilt. Jr. is al active member. provide for the build | ing of a number of inns along tn l course which will be run az clubs am will provide shelter and refreshmeh | for holders of tickets. The public min' at present demands that in order To | the proposed course. club privileges l at the inns be sold with the toll tick cts.
