at the two edges of this continent
work has just begun on two
kA of the most gigantic engineer
ing projects for city water sup
ply ever conceived by man. New York
and Los Angeles, 1900 miles apart,
are the cities to be served. For New
York an additional water supply of
more than 500, 100000 gallons a day is
to be brought down from the Catskills,
$50 miles, by aqueduct and tunnel,
through fertile valleys, under the Hud-
son and the East ivers and beneath
the Narrows. through which the ocean
liners pass, to Slater Island. From
the high rampant of the Sierra Ne
a II Los Angeles is to bring
down an extra water supply capable
of supporting a city of 100000 people
200 miles under mountains. across des-
erts and through beautiful orange
groves to the city.
The New York project is to cost
about $161. OOO, 600 and the Los Angeles
undertaking approximately $50, 100000.
The California city expects to have its
aqueduct completed within five years.
New York's project is not promised
complete before 1890. though 1t is ex-
pected he upper parts of the great
city will be served with water from
this source several years earlier.
Mayor Mcclellan a short time ago
broke ground for the initial work on
the New York project. Seven gigantic
reservoirs are to be built in the Cats
kills on the east side Of the Hudson
river and n on the other side, at
Kensico, n. Y. A dozen villages with
5000 people and nearly 1000 houses

"Thanks. I'm OF"

A good story is told of a Well-knoWn
British journalist who, while in Berlin.
had the misfortune to offend the kaiser
by publishing information about the
emperor of rather intimate nature.
He was ordered to leave Germany.
He secured a respite of two weeks dur
ing which he could wind up his affairs;
but he was a marked man: the police
Swallowed him night and day, and he
determined to escape the continual es-
tpionage.
At last he hit upon the expedient of
placing stuffed dummy of himself be-
fore window, with its back towards
the street, and while the police zeal
ously watched the dummy he was daily
slipping out by a side door and going
unmolested about his business, dis
guised in pair of blue goggles and an
old SLOUGH hat.
The dummy sat in a chair, with oc-
casional Interruptions, from in the
morning till 10 at night, and was
pulled inside by a string at bedtime.
On the morning Of the journalists
departure the figure was turned with
its wooden face toward the street, dis
playing a small placard for the edifi-
cation Of the police, reading:
Thanks, I'm Off"

AN INVESTMENT AND A CHARITY.

Not all aid that comes to the poor
and unfortunate is charity. sometimes
the greatest help to the struggling IS
a profitable investment outside of that
system OF the highest finance which
casts bread upon the waters, and trusts
God and humanity for It's return after
many days The Mills hotels IN New
York City are an instance of paying
Investments which afford the struggling
an anchor to honesty and hope.
Another and new Mills hotel was
opened today in New York. 1t Is

OF the city, with private bath. large

Ing rooms, passenger elevators, splen-
iidly finished in marble and comfort

large, spotlessly clean and nicely fur
nished single room, costs 80 cents.
Good meals are furnished at very
low cost. In fact, it is stated with
authority that one may be well fed,
sleep In a pleasant room, and enjoy
the freedom of the hotel for less than
SIS a week. The best part of this Is
that all that is offered IS in nowise a
Charity. Mr.. Mills, the owner of these
hotels, says they pay 4 per cent on
the investment, without reckoning the
heavy increase in the value of the
property.
What this means to decent men
whose feet have slipped and are seek
ing new foothold, 1t Is easy to see.
A decent home for SIS week In city
where prices of respectable hotels
would shock the inexperienced into
commissions. 1t is in a city where
the rental of a family suite at one of
the fashionable hotels runs up to $780,
900 a year. and where $40 is paid for
porterhouse steak and $40 check
for dinner for two is a common
thing. The extremes are great. The
middle attenuated. When Mills built
his hotels he reached out a hand to
stranded decency. He gave men a
chance to hold their self respect while
they struggle for first chance or a
new place. 1t is a helpful assurance
to those who patronize them that the
proprietor is satisfied with his profits.
There isn't enough of the Mills kind
of charity doing Men look upward to
great profits and downward to the CIV
ing in charity. The best charity is not
a donation.

THE KINGDOM AT HAND.
(Sinny Citv Io,,rnalN

1t Is everything to know and to know
1t from authority. that 1.-THE kingdom
OF heaven is at hand" There has been
so much OF teaching concerning the
suffering of the world, the pain Of
all the journey to the grave, that it is
exhilarating to hear the words of Jesus
drifting down in sweetest cadence thru
the riffs of the ages that "the king
dom of heaven is at hand" The way
was never so plain The way was
never freer of prosecutions The wolves
have been driven to hiding and the
sheep may come and go as they will.
There are crosses. but not such crosses
as Jesus bore and as bore him; and
thus all men may behold the wonders
of redemption.
The kingdom of evil is not removed.
and the prince of it Is a visitor in all
society; but just as surely "the king
dom of heaven is at hand" If men
will they may enter now into its
peace, into the safety of its fold, and
into the reward of the righteous. They
are not beyond temptation, they have
not come upon time when the ,fnno-
cent shall have no more suffering for
the guilty; but the time is at hand
when they may enter upon the joy of
their Lord and look forward with
confidence to the time when the wicked
shall cease from troubling.
Great weights have been removed
from courage, and revelation is fol-
lowing revelation that there is no re-
ward within the reach of men equal
to the reward Of the peace Of God.
"And as We go, preach, saying, the
kingdom of heaven is at hand

IRON MouLps AND CHEAP LABOR.

Mr.. Edison has turned toward house
construction. When he turns his gen.
Jus in any one direction it is as tho a
searchlight flooded dark places. How
his new building plan will succeed is
question for the architects, but it
looks and sounds good in these days
when three 2x4's and a single make
bank accounts shrink tremblingly into
a corner and when a skilled mechanic
is greater than a king. Mr.. Edison is
going to build a three story house in
twelve hours with common labor, at an
expense, he says, of $1,000 The model
shows Queen Anne style, high rooted
and beautiful. Said the great inven-
tor:
What I am going to inaugurate is
this: / am going to fashion cast iron
molds for the entire house. This out
fit will cost 100000 for house of this
resign. All the builders will have to
do is to put it up and pour in the con-
crete. Then they will allow six days
for the setting and drying and the fam
lily may move in. The cast iron mold
of that house may be used on countless
other buildings.
The economic value Of this rests. for
instance. in that the house will never
be in need of repair. The roof and
floors will be of concrete; there will be
no fire insurance. as another instance
of it's saving value; the man who owns
the house can let his children hack at
it with hatchets and axes and lose
nothing but the hatchets and axes.
There will be no wood in it save for
a strip upon which carpets may be
Jacket to hold them down.
will build this house. on full scale
next summer for $1,000, and will COM
plete it in twelve hours
If Mr. Edison makes good he may
depend upon it that the western de-
mand for molds will necessitate night
shifts at the foundries Possibly he
has solved the question of cheap and
comfortable homes. 1t is to be hoped,
for no greater need exists. IF so he
has done more than the library and
university philanthropists and outrun
Roosevelt as a practical trust buster.
