NEW FLORAL DECORATIONS
IN MILLlONAIRE'S ROW

NEW YORK.-Either the lateness of
~ the season or the fickleness of
New York taste has had the effect of
changing very much the appearance
OF the city this spring as regards it's
floral decorations. The use of Pansies
Is noticed as novelty. They appear
In front of the Cornelius Vanderbilt
house, where there are beds extending
along the whole Fifth avenue block
from Fifty eighth to Fifty-seventh
street. Along the outside of these
beds are thin lines of pink English
daisies forming pretty contrast with
the purple and yellow of the hearts
ease.
The same flowers are used in the
Sloane house, six blocks further down
the avenue. There no daisies disturb
the monopoly of pansies.
Mrs. Oelrichs has decorated her
house this year with pale pink n.y.
drangeas, which form an appropriate
garniture to the French architecture
OF the building. Hydrangeas also ap-
pear for the first time on several other
houses. Mrs. Edward Berwind has
them mixed with geraniums and
daisies, to ornament her house.

the history of civilization. There are,

agencies, yet quite unknown to the
general public, but nevertheless al
ready exerting powerful influence
upon Industrial efficiencies, has made
a place for itself in the modern ma
chine shop. The essential function of
the machine shop is to fit accurately
the various metal parts which are to
be assembled into other machinery of
one sort or another; and this is gen.
orally done by cutting or pairing away
any excess and unevenness of metal
left in the casing or forging. This sort
OF cutting obviously is something
very different from that seen in the
wood shop, for example. Special tools
and machines, the former strong and
hard enough and the latter rigid and
powerful enough, are necessary to re-
move the excess of material from
steel, iron, or other resistent metals
Ordinary cutting edges, as they are
commonly understood, would not do at
all. An account of the processes by
which .high-speed steel has been per-
fected and the uses to which it is put,
forms subject matter in an exceeding
~ interesting article of some length,

public eye ever since her husband
died, and the country is watching with
interested approval her disposal Of
the Sage fortune. But while she finds
satisfaction in these larger gifts she
has a small pet private benevolence
which affords her as much pleasure as
her millions. In the summer of 1904
Mrs. Sage, then recovering from a
sprained back and hip, the results of
fall on slippery steps, was ordered by
her physician to rest and amuse her
self in Central park, which is but a
block from her home. Before many
days she began to take an interest in
the squirrels and birls in the park and
soon became an ardent lover of the lit

question interested the country last
session when, upon the enforcement

roads were prohibited from continuing

ident a private car or a special train

1t was roughly estimated that the
president could get along on $4,000 a
year as travelling expenses, and con-
gress appropriated that amount as an
experiment. The president recently
left Washington for his summer home
at Oyster Bay, and the close of the
present fiscal year will find him there.
1t is found that when allowance is
made to cover the expense of the Sec
