OUR NEW YORK LETTER

increased and the day is a dull one on which the people of the city do
 not hear of a new one. Already the
 number projected or already built
 has got beyond the memory of an
 ordinary citizen and the cry is still
 they come. We'll, they are expected to bring prosperity to Wage-earnerS
 especially. 1t is estimated that New
 York wa2e-earners will save $25,-
 0O0,OoO year by means of the
 rapid transit subways which are to
 be opened next sumner. The
 totals represent only the saving in
 rent, care fare and time. They
 will save much more in the mat ter of health, and in general peace of mind. Another gain will result
 from the increased business that can be transacted by quicker com munication between all parts of the metropolis. Thousands of per sons will be able to do moro busi- ness in the same time. They will make more money. Then money
 will circulate more rapidly, and genera: business will be stimu- lated. Such savings, in the ab- stract, cannot be estimated, even approximately. It is known in general, however. that the total must be many millions year. Realty experts estimate that the
 50O,000 persons who Will lleave Manhattan flats this year will be divided as follows: Two hundred and fifty thousand to New Jersey;
 15O,000 to Brooklyn; 100000 to Queens. The general readjustment will give 35,000 to the North Bronx, Westchester and Staten
 Island, part of which will come from increase of population.
 How the panic in the stock mar ket affected the young rich people of New York City is illustrated by the reports from the automobile market It has been stated that in one day one prominent mann- featuring firm of automobiles in this city received cancellations of no less than 37 sales of high-class machines. Others were not so easily heard from, but the cancella- tions are said to have been numer- ous. This shows that the young bloods of millions who are follow ing their fathers in following the market, are not so successful. It has been said that a group of young millionaires was slaughtered out of s20,O00,0O0 of solid cash in the panic days when the stocks slid down the scale like greased pigs in {. slaughter house Twenty millions would pay for a great many automobiles, and not having loose change to that amount in their pockets, the young fellows are forced to deny themselves luNuries of which an auto is chief, and the most costly and wasteful. But so far the swells have kept up their costly style of clothes, and Fifth avenue is still radiant with their bright and stunning raiment.
 Information about the mosquitoes of New Jersey is always received in New York City with great in terest. The mosquitoes, though born and bred in New Jersey, come over to New York quite readily. and it is a fact that New Workers living in New Jersey last season escaped any trouble from mos quitoes, except at intervals, while they encountered them as soon as they took the ferry boats on the New York side of the river It is therefore matter of congratula- tion for them to learn that John B. Smith, state etomologist for New Jersey, believes he has solved the mosquito problem for the Hackensack Meadows. His plan is cheap at any rate. and involves no bad smells. He is arranging fcr T network of trenches and lateral ditches, the former two feet wide and thirty inches deep, the latter ten inches wide and not deeper than a specially constructed blow can furrow There will be 20 miles of these trenches and ditches. Through them tides will sweep. and the theory is that mosquito
 larvae will be carried off, destroyed
 or eaten by fishes. The expanse will be less than s3,000. Brooklyn
