erected at a cost not to exceed this sum-
The building will have sixteen rooms and
will accommodate approximately 800 pupils.
j. O'Rourke & Sons submitted plans for
the Hawthorne Avenue addition. Consid-
cradle pruning was necessary to bring
the cost down within the appropriation OF
800, 900. The committee will finish its work
Tuesday night, 1t is thought, on this school
building, as well as the Warren Street ad-
dition, which would cost more than the
$1O5, 900 appropriation to erect 1t.
Plans for the Lincoln School at Walls
burg also came before the committee. In
this instance 1t was found necessary to
make changes to bring down the cost.
Commissioner George Varley, chairman
of the committee, said.
II would be glad # some of the critics
of this committee would examine some
of the new schools and compar them to
the old ones. l believe that IL this were
done we would be- subjected to fewer
'roasts' as incompetents. OF course, we
have to expect these criticisms and we
consider them as our salaries. The school
house committee, however, Is working
co~nscientiously and hard, and while we
cannot please every one, we are trying
to put up buildings that will be a credit
to the city.
1.-THE city Is growing fast, the school
population is increasing rapidly, and we do
not want to put up a lot of buildings that
will be hopelessly too small hve or zen
years hence. Everything has gone up in
the building line since most of these build
ings were first contemplated, and a build
ing which could be erected for 100000
eighteen Month ago will cost considerably
more at the present time. We believe,
however. that we can get what we want
for the appropriations made for these four
new buildings"

GIRL WIFE WINS
SUIT AGAINST HUSBAND.
Florence Boyle Gets a Separate Main
tenance Allowance from
Court Here.

On the application Of Mathew ]. Reidy,
as counsel representing 16-year-old Flor
ence Boyle, Vice-Chancellor Howell today
signed a final decree in the matter OF her
suit against John Boyle, 60 years old, for
separate maintenance. The decree gives
the girI-wife IS a week.
Before the order was signed Chandler W.
Riker, counsel for Mr.. Boyle declared
that his client was the victim Of a base
plot on the part of the petitioners mother
TO marry her to some one able to support
her. He declared that MI. Boyle's inc 5nie
was not more than s1,Oo0 a year.
Vice hancellor Howell agreed hat the
evidence In the case warranted the CON
clusion as to the petitioners character, but
held that Boyle, having married the youne
girl. was responsible for her maintenance
I'VE would like to have the court grant
his young woman an annulment." said
Mr.. Riker. "If that Is done l am free to
say that my client will readjust his affairs
in such a manner as to make proper pro-
vision for her. She ought to file a bill
for divorce"
Il shall fix the allowance at S." said
the court. There is no doubt in my miad
that this petitioners mother arranged the
marriage hoping to profit by 1t In a
financial way herself. and I am therefore
careful to make an allowance that shall
furnish only sufficient for her own support.
She is undoubtedly In bad physical shape
at present, but the probabilities are she
will soon improve

IT'S HOT AT POLES
AND COLD AT EQUATOR.
That's the Way 1t Feels to a Man Up in
a Balloon High Enough,
Scientist Learns.

DRESDEN, Saxony, Sept. 25.-At the
meeting today of the Congress of Germany
scientists a remarkable statement was
made by Professor Hergesell, Of Strassburg
University, that atmosphere at high alti-
tudes is the coolest over the equator and
the warmest above the poles. This STR
prising fact, ne explained, was deter
mined by balloon ascents made during the
month OF July In various ATTITUDES under
the auspices Of the international commit
tee which has been Investigating the at
mosphere at high attitudes. The observa-
tions, which were taken with automatic
instruments attached to unnamed bal
looms. have not yet been worked out In
detail. but Professor Hergesell finds his
abundantly proved through the
data thus collected.
Balloons which reached attitudes OF IL to
70 and one-half miles in the tropics were
found 10 have registered about las degrees
below zero Fahrenheit, while in the latl-
tude of central Europe the temperature
was only rs to IS below zero at the heights
Indicated.
Another fact established by these balloon
ascents is that the greatest cold Of the
upper atmosphere is reached at heights
from six to six and three quarters miles,
varying somewhat in different parts Of the
world. Above that height, contrary to the
assumption Of scientists hitherto. the air
actually grows warmer. This warmer
strata of air Is deduced to be highest ut
the equator and lowest at the poles. where
Il is estimated to begin at about four and
one-third miles.
Professor Hergesell concludes that the
atmospheric conditions affecting the
weather do not reach higher than seven
miles.

WANTED FOR SCHOOL USE,
Is HITCH IN GETTING IT.
Commissioners Put Out Over Halt in
Acquiring Property-Lease Allowed
Option to Buy.

The schoolhouse committee of the Board
of Education last night received a letter
from julius Rupprecht regarding the
property at S. Academy street,
leased ten years ago as a draw
ing school for that period of time.
The lease expired September /, and Mr..
Rupprecht, acting as counsel for DR.. Ed
ward ]. III. owner of the building, notified
the committee that the building could be
leased for $500 annually. The former
rental was 1880.
When the lease was made out ten years
ago an option to purchase the property
for S31, 500 was given to the board. In the
opinion Of the commissioners this option
extended during the life of the lease, which
was ten years. Accordingly a resolution
was passed several months & to purchase
the property, and the necessary funds
were furnished by the board of estimate.
Since that time. however, the deed has not
been executed. and Commissioner Marley
said last night that he had been unable
to get in communication with the owner.
h letter was referred to the Law de-
partment, the intention of the committee
being expressed to purchase the property.
A communication called attention
to the crowded conditions at the
Charlton Street School, where twelve
halliday classes are held daily, and asked
fo- relief from the congestion. A letter
from Thomas J. Bissell, principal of the
school. to the same effect, was also read.
Mr.. Bissell pointed out that there are
over 1900 pupils on his rolls, an increase
Of 240 over last year, although 400 were
transferred to other schools in redistrict-
ing. Both communications were filed.
Permission was granted to the principal
Of the Hamburg Place School to open the
building at night, at his discretion, for
school purposes as a meeting place FOR
parents. 1t was also agreed that the
Burnet Street School might be opened for
public inspection during the latter part or
October. the date being left to the discre-
ton of the principal, who made the re-
quest.
Superintendent Poland called attention
to the faulty ventilation in the Elliott
Street School. and Instructions were given
TO nave it looked into n renedied.

THOUGH NEAR
DECAPITATED,
HE WILL LIVE
New York Man Conscious
While His Head Was
Being Seyed On.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Three sur
gecns of st. Gregory's Hospital had
a hard struggle yesterday to save the
life of a man who was almost be-
headed by an elevator in a building at
213 Front street. The patient. Bernar
Rush. while taking a load of fish from
the first to the second floor, slipped
and became wedged between the floor
and the platform of the elevator. The
elevator was stopped in time to save
his head from being torn from the
shoulders.
He was taken from the elevate un-
conscious and an ambulance was sum-
moned from st. Gregory's Hospital.
Drs. Kresky, Heacock and Duke found
that in addition to the large muscles
of the neck being severed several small
arteries and veins we're separated. The
patient was conscious throughout the
operation, which was performed with
out anaesthetics of TN kind. Rush
was powerless to 10Y his head be-
cause the largest muscles of the neck
were snapped in two.
The physicians worked over the
patient for nearly three hours, sewing
together blood vessels and various
structures of the neck. The 1uguiar
vein and the windpipe were not serl-
ously injured. The neck was cut from
ear to ear as cleanly as though 1t was
lone by a razor.
According to the physicians, more
than twenty-five blood vessels, nerves,
muscles, veins and arteries had to he
sutured The operation was a tedious
one, some of the vessels being so small
that the finest catgut had to be used.
The physicians said that the only
thing that saved the mans life was
that the head was forced backward.
If it had been thrown forward 1t would
nave broken the spinal cord and several
of the vertebrae, causing certain death.
Rush is So years old and lives at 14S
Avenue A. He will live.

For Making Good Coffee.

First, scald the coffee pot and be
sure that it is thoroughly secured and
no stain is on the inside, then put in
about one cupful more of water than
you will require when it is done. Let
1t boil hard for five minutes and then
put in the coffee which must be
ground rather fine? Turn the pot
away from hot fire and let it sim
mer for ten minutes, then set it back
where 1t will only keep hot and settle
for five minutes. Put cream in the
cups first and pour the coffee into it.
Never attempt to use the coffee a sec
and time nor add to the old grounds.
Throw all out and start fresh with
a clean pot.
