ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
Ripples on the Current OF Life In the
Metropolis.


Supplementing the marked falling OF Of
the building record OF Greater New York
for 1905. compared with the preceding year
is an equally notable slump In the real
estate boom. A correspondent OF the Phila-
delphia Press, reviewing the signs of the
times In the metropolis, says; In the
Bronx district the real estate market Is
dead. whereas a year ago II was at fever
heat. So also the boom has been punctured
on Long Island. With the exception OF
some public building and other work, some
railway and tunnel terminals, and few
business buildings there appears to be con-
siderable falling Of in building operations
in New York. Many men come to the
money markets orr to those who lend upon
real estate security earnestly seeking loans.
Many others offer property for sale. The
loans can be secured II the property offered
justiies It. But there Is little market for
the purchase or sale Of real estate com
paratively speaking.

An excellent opportunity TO study the
working of the human heart is afforded
by model put on exhibition by Dr. Car
roll Henderson at the scientific exposition
In the American Museum of Natural His
tory in New York
The model is made of. rubber and glass
tubing. By means of pressure attach
ments blood-colored liquid is sent pulsing
through the various closely related cham
bers, and all the normal movements of the
organ are reproduced as in life. and not
only this, but the sounds of the valves
Moreover, 1t is capable of producing move
ments and sounds caused by various kinds
OF heart disease. On applying the ear to
the cardiac region two successive sounds
are heard. called the first and second
sounds, and which may be expressed by
the syllables lubb dup. When the valves
are affected by disease the normal sounds
may be intensified or weakened or they
may disappear entirely and be replaced by
murmurs, or abnormal sounds may be
heard simultaneously with or In the inter-
walls between the normal ones
The swain, who in the presence of his
lady love, feels his tongue and lips grow
so dry that he is scarcely able to sneak
and whose power OF speech is further
paralyzed by the humping of his heart,
can see in the model what actually hap
pened by the increase Of the normal beats
of that muscle from seventy-hve or eighty
a minute to $50 or more. The effects of fear
and excitement are also manifested nv
various degrees Of accelerated movement
Overwhelming news of sorrow or Ioy or
excessive fright may cause stoppage of
the hearts action, and then fainting en-

 The first three acts of the play are good The first two placing the scene and the action are lively and enter taining. and the. third, with It's great racing scene, altogether delectabie. Ths fourth act is weak in a comparison that is inevitable.
 Hans Robert as Checkers is natural land pleasing. He has a sympa the tic Econception of the part and enacts it we'll. To Dave Braham. Jr.. however. must go the greatest praise. As Push Miller he Is excellent In makeup. in characterization and in expression he acts the tout and his acting Is a prime factor In. .she success of the play. just as he was in Che part last season. w.

Hans Robert in aCheekera., :,

Checkers" play in which even the love scenes were frightened by slang most laughable, delighted a large au- dience at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night. The play. though rath- CT flimsy in construction and without firm ultimate purpose, was altogether pleasing, if exception be made for the last act, which was a decided let-down from the previous tone of the perfor-
 nance.
 The play as presented last night dlf- fers materially from the book, but it contains many of the original scenes and characters. To the end of the third act it moves with consistent duickness and interest, and if the de- nouement afforded by the fourth act could be made into the third act the play would be ameliorated.
