When the new Academy OF Music
in Brooklyn is finished It will be the
most notable example of polychro-
matte architecture on this side of the

common in Italy. but It has not ap.

sibly to American patrons of architec-
ture There are few examples of
the use OF colored tiles in building.

Gently been completed by the navy de-
partment for five new torpedo boat de.
stroyers authorized by the last con-
gress. These new torpedo boat de-
stroyers will be OF about 2S knots
speed and 700 tons displacement. The
plans call for vessels considerably
larger than those of similar type now
in service. The largest of the pres
ent destroyers displaces but 4S3 tons,
and is 24S feet long. Bidders will be
given the privilege OF submitting esti'
mates on boats with oil burning ap-
paratus for generating steam. recip-
rocating and turbine steam engines,
and internal combustion engines.
These items were never before In
cluded In bids for boats OF this class,
but owing to the successful results
from oil burning engines 1t is prob
able that within the near future all the
new vessels will be equipped with
such apparatus. Great care is being
taken by the navy department to
send out circulars and other informa-
tion concerning destroyers and new
battleships only TO such concerns as
have the facilities for filling contracts

Here is a good lay sermon
worthy in times like these of
even Sabbath day reflection.
Its author is Charles F. Meilen
of New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad. Read it
once and then read it once more:
Don't deceive yourselves that
Wall street suffers alone nor
that patriotism is only to be
learned from those who hold
Off ce; that bravery is only to be
found among those who risk
their lives; that knowledge is
only acquired from the study of
books; that honesty is to be
found only where preached the
most vigorously; That homely
virtue only exists where most
advertised. Wall street dis
tributes its burden quickly and
you cannot escape your share,
When the western banks cease
to use the Wall street banks
who back the gamblers on
change, thereby making the
gamble their own, then the
troubles of Wall street will
cease to be the troubles OF the
western banks and their deposi.

RAILROADS BEHIND
IN STORAGE OF COAL
Indications Are Hartman Lines
Will Be Short 100000 Tons
at End Of Summer.

While all the men who can he oh.
tanned are being put TO work at the
coal mines at Rock Springs, Wyo., the
daily output is only about sufficient 10
meet the daily demands. No coal is
being produced for the railroads for
storage purposes. Reports received
from authoritative sources are to the
effect that the Hartman liues are
now 10000 tons behind in the storage
Of coal, and the indications are that at
the close of the summer season this
shortage will have increased to about
100000 ions of fuel.
To be explicit as 10 conditions, at
this stime last year the railroads had
about 90, 900 tons of coal in store; this
year they have absolutely none, The
lock out of the men al Rock Springs,
which lasted about three weeks, is
the main cause Of this shortage. and
the lack of labor is also contributing
cause, With a fuel shortage staring
tine railroads in the face. the outlook
for coal supply for domestic use next
winter Is anything but eucoura giug
Keeping in view the fact that the de-
mand of the smeIters and other in
duStr1eS for fuel next winter VIII he
larger than ever before: that there will
he a largely increased population in
this and adjoining territory 10 supply
with coal, and that the supply, for some
reason not fully explained, will not be
enlarged TO meet tine increased de-
mand, 1T is incumbent upon mine
operators, coal dealers, consumers and
all concerned 10 adopt every means in
their power to provide against a
famine. The storing of coal is one
remedy, and ii should be followed
wherever possible; hut can other means
not be devised TO help the situation?
