SCIENTIFIC STAIR SWEEPING.
Method by which Obstruction to
Travel Is Reduced.


Travel Is Reduced.
There is, It seems" said the town
traveller to a New York Sun man.
"a scientific method Of sweeping stairs;
method whereby the people passing
up and down, as on stairway In con-
slant public use, may be, while sweep
Ing is going on, In the smallest degree
possible, incommoded by 1t.
This method is scarcely applicable
to narrow stairs, but it may be applied
with great advantage to the sweeping
Of wide stairs where the traffic is great
1t was seen demonstrated on the broad
stairs leading down to the subway from
the entrance at the Brooklyn bridge.
III Is a familiar fact that the ordi-
nary way Of sweeping stairs Is to sweep
the steps one after another in success
sion, sweeping each one clear across
from side to side. If the sweeping Is
done In this manner half the people go
ing up or down may have to dodge the
sweeper. In lodging the sweeper they
dodge into other people, and so the
travel on the stairs may be congested
and the whole movement impeded.
"But by the scientific method OF
sweeping all this uncertainty about
where the sweeper may be found is
avoided and half the stairway is left
constantly and entirely clear to travel,
which can move up and down in that
open way quite freely and SO with the
least possible delay.
by this method the sweeper simply
begins at the end of the step on one
side the stairway and sweeps that step
to the center. There he stops and goes
down a step to the next one, to sweep
that step in like manner, from its end
to the center, and so he keeps on down
step after step, sweeping the stairway
for one-half its width, keeping himself
always on that side and leaving the
other half of the stairway entirely
cree. When he has thus swept down
half the stairway he throws that side
open and starts at the top again, now
on the other side, and sweeps down in
the same way, step by step, to the cen.
ter"

MADDEN ON GAS QUESTION.
Illinois Representative Presents Som,

At a dinner given to a number Of his
friends in this city at the Highlands Thurs
dsy evening Representative Martin B. Mad
den Of Chicago again emphasized his deter
nina ION to continue his fight for reforms
in tie management and rates imposed by
the public utilities corporations in this city
Mr.. Madden entertained his guests in a
speech, dwelling particularly upon the
status Of the gas question. He laid special
stress on his claims for a reduction in the
price of gas from the present rate to rs
cents and also for universal street car
transfers. On the subject of a lower rate
for gas Mr.. Madden said that before he
entered into the present contest he had
made a careful study of the question and
found that gas could be manufactured and
distributed in Washington at 81 cents per
1000 and still leave legitimate profit,
whereas his bill in the House permits the
company to charge 70 cents.
