Cloth of gold the fairy books de- scribe; cloth of iron is real product of the mills. Iron making is used largely to-day by tailors for making the collars of coats set fashionably. It is manufactured from steel wool by I new process and has the appearance of having been woven from horsehalry A4Wool which never saw the back of a sheep is being largely utilized on the continent for making mems suits. It is known by the name of limestone wool and is made in an electric fur mace, Powdered limestone mixed with a certain chemical is thrown into the furnace and after passing under q furious blast of air is tossed out as fluffy, white wool.

UP IN. .A|R-F0R FUN
TWENTY STORY PLAYGROUND
 PLANNED FOR NEW YORK.
Inadequacy of Ground Space compels the Building of a Skyscraper to
 Provide Necessary Play z s3.. III, s.. Room, ..a

So much of New York is already up in the air, and so large a proportion or her population exist in tiers, some thing after the manner of the prenis- toric cliff dwellers, that it does not seem at all strange that in the mat ter of playgrounds for her teeming multitudes of children she is turning to the thought of a many-storied build. ing in which all the needed forms or recreation may be provided. Such an idea has been proposed by Dr. Luther H. Gulick, physical director of public schools of New York, who predicts that such plan must be used because there is not room enough by merely using the land once to provide enough space to give boys and girls chance to join in the sports of childhood and still remain in the metropolis.
 Nowhere in the country. in spite Of the aid which this movement has re-

The time is not far distant, in my opfnfun,,' when the multiple systemitn use by great business corporations must be employed in the construc- ton of playgrounds or play buildings. The 20-story playground is soon likely to come
 "To use the surface of the ground only once means waste and extrava- gance. c. B. J. Snyder. the architect of the board of education. has from my suggestions prepared plans for a 20-story playground.
 It should be strongly and solidly built. It should prefsrsbly have at least three sides facing in streets, al- though 1t could be arranged by pro viding suitable space at the sides to reach through an entire block. This preliminary plan provides for struc- ture 100 feet long. The stories should be somewhat higher than those in the ordinary loft building so as to give as much ventilation as possible. The ends and sides as far as possible should have windows which can be re- moved or displaced in such a way as to give a clean sweep of air through the playground floors in pleasant weather.
 Tt might be feasible If such a 20- story playground were situated in a crowded east side neighborhood to have the first floor used for a push cart market or something of the kind.
 "On the second floor would be a res taurant where wholesome and appetiz- ing luncheons for children could be provided at cheap prices. The third floor could be used as parlors and for 8 great assembly hall for lectures.
 "one of the greatest pleasures foi young children is wading and skating. and for these amusements could be furnished shallow tank on the fourth floor, covering nearly all It's area. This could be frozen in winter for the steel runners. There could be placed a large tank on the fifth floor for swimming and also baths, boxing and fencing rooms might be arranged on the sixth floor. The arrangement after that would be something like this: Seventh, bowling alleys; eighth, mu. sic hall and small rooms for the prac- tice of amateur musicians: ninth, meeting places for clubs and officers of administration: tenth, dancing and girls gymnasium: eleventh, s oreche and sand piles where the youngest children could be amused. The re. mainder of the floors could be given up to playgrounds and gymnasiums, ' rfnks for roller skating and the like, while there would alsn be room for school and reception purposes and Iiv. | ing apartments Tor those in charge ci < the work. The cost of the construc. ton of such building would be abou, ! s2.0eo. .O00."

Among the 14s,ssiF prisoners com

Among the 149,69i prisoners com mitted during 1904 in this country 125,093 were white and 24,59s color. ed, of whom 1S6 were Mongolians and TIA Indians. In other words 16.4 per cent of the total number ot prisoners committed during the year were colored. Of, the general popu- lation in 1900, the colored formed only 12.1 per cent. Since it can not be presumed that the proportion of colored in the population increased materially between 1900 and 1904, it is evident that the colored contri- buted to the prison class in excess of their representation in the general population. This condition pis < not confined to any one. section of the country, for the figures show that it obtained in every state and terri tory except North Dakota and Ari- zona, where the colored population is composed chiefly of Indians. The colored, moreover, formed a larger percentage of the prisoners convict ed of the more serious crimes than they did of those who had been sen tenced for lesser otfenses, They formed 31.5 per cent of the major offenders and only l3 per cent of the minor.

 Dr. Gulick in his capacity Of physi- cal director of the schools of New York city declares that the question of providing suitable places for chil- dren to play In the city of New York has passed beyond the stage when it will be possible to solve the problem by tearing down buildings and con verting the space Into a park or play ground
 There are below Fourteenth street Manhattan said Dr. Gulick. fully zs.000 children. and although the city has done much toward providing places for them. the playgrounds give room for only seven per cent of that number.

 To the query why depositors in New York savings banks did not in the pas, year put more of their money ill other securities than bank books, the answer is that they did, Reports for the year ending June 30 show that the increase in aggregate deposits compared with the previous year was only $5,000,0 900.

THE REAL IRELAND.
Common Mistakes as to the Charac
 teristics of the Irish People.

The accepted Irish type of the masses-the stage Irishman-may be amusing, says the Outlook, but he smacks also of incidence, thrlftless- ness, tendency to drink and even d lack of certain primary virtues.
 Fortunately, these failings are not characteristic of the Irish people as q whole. In every quarter of the globe Irish men and women have shown themselves hard workers; if they have not displayed the same energy at home it is because of the general agri- cultural oppression and depression.
 AS to drink, contrary to the general supposition, the Irishman spends a less average on it than does the Eng lishman or Scot, moreover, the Irish man spends more on beer than on spirits, the contrary being true Of the Scot.
 Furthermore, and even more sur prising to many, statistics show tie Irish to be less criminally inclined than are the inhabitants of Great Britain; in particular. as to sexual mo- rality, the stranger in Ireland is in variably surprised by the rectitude of the people.
 In 1S41 Ireland's population was es- timated at s,1O0,OOO; in 1901, at A. 100000. Thus in sixty years the poru. lation fell nearly 4,OOO. GOO. America has won what Ireland has lost.
 But this is not all. Quality as well as quantity is involved. The emi- grants have generally been in life's full vigor; most of those who have remained have been physically, men, tally and industrially deficient.
 Meanwhile, the burden of taxation has enormously increased. Is is sur- prising, then. that, with the exception of France, Ireland's birth rate should be now the lowest in the world?

USEFUL CANDLE NUT.

One of the oldest nuts in the world is the candle nut. which grows in the Pacific islands. The name is derived from the fact that the kernel is so full of oil that when dried it can. be stuck in a reed and used as a candle.
 The natives of Hawaii roast these nuts. and after removing the shell re- duce the kernel to paste. which when seasoned with salt and pepper is re- ported as making an sppetizing dish.
 The husk of the nut and gum which exudes from the tree have medicinal values, while the burned shell Is used in making an indelible ink with which tattooing is done.-American Fruit and Nut Journal.
