BELMONT Makes REPLY.
So-caIled Discrepancies in Subzcay
Profits Statement Denied

Z. F. J. Gaynor. auditor of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company. after a conference with
President Belmont yesterday, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
There are no discrepancies i'm bookkeeping in
regard To any of the statements that have been
submitted to the Controller and the State Rail-
road Commission. The so-called discrepancies
are merely discrepancies in conclusions drawn
by persons who have gone over the reports with
out full knowledge of the facts The report to
the state Railroad Commission showed that the
net operating profits Of the subway from Oc-
$l.33O.52S These figures it must be remem-
bered, were for operating profits from Contracts
l ana :. The report to the Controller for tho
year and four days of operation from Octobet
p, 1904, TO October 81 1905, amounting to ST.
3l4oeO IL must be remembered was only on Con-
tract No. the section from Brooklyn Bridge
TO the Battery not being included in the line OF
road on which payments TO the city were In
volved- The figures Contract No ! which
were reported TO the Controller also covered the
midsummer months from July l to October 81,
when subway traffic was at its lowest ebb.
As To the alleged discrepancy between the
statement filed with the Railroad Commission
Of June 80, giving the cost of the subway
lease as S2.I51 600. and the statement to the
Controller showing the capital invested i'm the
company as $l2l00,000 for the acquisition of the
subway lease. this apparent discrepancy repre-
sents the capital used TO purchase the Rapid
Transit subway Construction Company in its
entirety, with its then estimated 81 600 600 Of
profits on the subway construction and was
properly capitalized a part of the money in
vested in the enterprise on which the company
IS entitled to earn per cent before beginning
the annual sinking fund payment to the city.

WHY DO WE WAIT?

Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
Before we speak our kindly word,
And only utter loving praise
When not a whisper can be heard?
Why do we wait till hands are laid
Close-folded, pulseless, ere we place
Within them roses sweet and rare,
And lilies in their fiawless grace?
Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
To light and love in deaths deep
trance
Dear wistful eyes-before we bend
Above them an impassioned glance?
Why do we wait till hearts are still
To tell them all the love In ours
And give them such late need of
praise
And lay above them fragrant flow
ers?
How oft we, careless, wait till life's
Sweet opportunities are past,
And break our "alabaster box
Of ointment" at the very last!
o. let us heed the living friend
Who walks with us life's common
ways,
Watching our eyes for look of love,
And hungering for a word of praise!

A coUNTERBLAsT FOR TOBACCO
(London Lancet.)


1t has often been confidently stated
that tobacco smoke is a powerful ger
micide, but so far this property has
not been assigned to any one particu-
lar constituent of the smoke. The
composition Of tobacco smoke is of
course complex, but everybody knows
that tarry oils are a principal constit-
uent, and certainly many oils are pow
erfully antiseptic. Nicatine, again, is
a strong disinfectant, but the quantity
of this poison in tobacco smoke is
minute, If indeed 1t is present at all
At least, in a number of chemical
analyses of tobacco smoke made at
different times it was difficult to de-
clare with absolute certainty that
nicotine was an important constituent
The oily matter which accumulates
in tobacco pipe is decidedly poisonous,
but it does not contain any appreciable
quantity of nicotine, the chief constit-
uent being the very poisonous oil
pyridine. Tobacco smoke contains a
decided quantity of the very poisonous
gas carbon monoxide, which has been
used for preserving purposes and
which therefore must possess germi-
cidal properties.
Some simple experiments which we
