CHINATOWN'S ARCADE.
If Not the Grandest in New York
at Least the Most Curious.

There are in the city arcades that are
loftier and more spacious, grander' and
more ~frequented, but this one in New
York's Chinatown, the Chinese arcade,
extending from Doyers street half way
through the block toward Mott, is
something different.
Doyers street. narrow and very crook
ed, starts off from the Bowery next be-
low Pell street and just above Chatham
square. For fifty feet or so it runs
west with a curve like that of a fiat
tened bow, continuing then for another
fifty feet straight, and, then turning
with an elbow bend sharp to. the north,
to run in that direction for another 100
feet, to Peli street. Chinatown's arcade
starts off from the west siNe of Doyers
street, just above the elbow bend. As
you come along in from the Bowery
you bring into view the sign over it's
entrance, Chinese Arcade"
You go up a step from the sMSNsalk
to get in and there you see the arcade,
about ten or twelve feet in width and
of about the same height, with small
shops on either side, and there is here
also a little restaurant. 1t run back
for about thirty feet, at which point
you find half a dozen steps leading
down to it's inner section, for this ar
cade is built on two levels, the rear
section being four or five feet lower
than the front and also somewhat mar
rover. Here you find on either side
more little shops-in the whole arcade
there are perhaps a dozen altogether
and then at a point thirty or forty feet
back from the steps the arcade ends.
There you turn to the right for the
space of a few feet, to find then at YOU
left, one step up, the inner end of a
long hall running through a house to
Mott street. AS you go along this hall
you may meet a Chinaman coming
from the other direction, for besides
serving the business purposes for which
1t is intended the arcade, with the CON
Meeting hallway to Mott street, makes
a convenient short cut through the
block from Mott to Doyers street and
the Bowery or from the Bowery and
Doyers street to Mott.
AS you pass on along the hall you
find on one of the walls of the hall near
the front. a sign reading ITO Doyers
Street Arcade" the arcade through
which you have Just come, and then
when you have passed on out of the
hall you walk down six or eight steps
at the front of the house and there you
are on the sidewalk in Mott street, at
this point but a minute away from
Chatham Square.
And that's the Chinese arcade, like
the quarter in which you find it-not
the biggest nor the grandest one In
New York, but the most curious.-New
York Sun.

THE SKATERS.

The frost has tinged the landscape far
and near
With mornings crimson and the sun
sets gold;
Glad autumn Winds their merry tales
have told
OF garnered harvests ripe with win
ter's cheer.
Bleak are the hills, yet from the frozen
streams
There comes a whisper of approach
ing glee;
The ice-clad meadows wait expect
antly,
While all the earth of some fair pur-
pose dreams.
At last the sleighbells tinkle on the
green,
And where the white is spread from
shore to shore
The ring of sharpened steel is heard
once more,
And youthful faces glorify the scene.

THE RAINBOW TROUT.
Specimens at the Aquarium That
We're Matched Four Years Ago.

Among the trout of various species at
the New York Aquarium there are a
dozen or more rainbow trout that were
the first of their kind Matched out in
the Aquarium's model hatchery four
years ago. The largest of these rain
bows is now about sixteen inches in
length and would weigh about two
pounds.
The eggs from which these fishes
were Matched came from the United
States fish hatcheries at Wytheville,
Va, and the eggs from which the par
ent fishes were there Matched came
from the United States fish ~hatcheries
on the McCloud River, in Shasta Coun-
ty, northern California. which is the
native home of the ainbow trout, in
the tributaries of the Sacramento.

INVENTOR OF ENVELOPES.

It is somewhat curious that such a
simple contrivance as the envelope
should be a comparatively modern in
vention.
AS a matter of fact it is just 100
years since a paper manufacturer of
Brighton named Brewes invented en-
velopes for letters in their present
form. Even then it was some consider
able time before their use became at
all general, not, in fact. until some-
where about the. year 1850.

NAVY STARTS SCHOOL
FOR TRAINING OF COOKS.

In order to prevent good food being
spoiled by poor cooks, the naval de-
partment has recently established a
school at Newport. r. L., for ships
cooks and bakers. 1t is the purpose to
send to this school all men recruited as
cooks or bakers. In addition, men al
ready in the service, who want to be-
come cooks, and can show some fitness,
will be sent to the school in limited
numbers.
The school will be equipped with
electrically driven meat choppers, large
bake ovens, coffee urns holding SO gall
Ions, mechanical dishwashers, cold
storage, do~ugh-mixing machines and
several ranges, sufficient to prepare a
meal for three OIL four hundred men.
1t win be on the same plan as the
galley on board a battleship. The in
struction will last for four or five
months. and will be under the supervis-
ion of a chef, while a first-class ships
cook win be in charge of each galley

AUTOS MAY LEAD WAY
FOR LINE,

The New York-to-Paris auto race has
a significance other than the mere tests
of speed and endurance of the several
cars and their drivers. For years the
question of the feasibility of a railway
from New York to Paris by the Behring
Strait route has been discussed and re-
jected without action as a faint pgob-
ability of the remote future. The sue
cessful completion of the auto race is
almost certain to break a way for such
a railroad-not through the snowy
wastes of Siberia, but rather through
the cautious doubts of those who have
hitherto opposed 1t on the ground of
impracticability. In Indiana the con-
testants had a foretaste of the diff
fculties they doubtless win encounter
farther north.-Popular Mechanics.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 27,-The cotton
market opened easy at a decline of s@
10 points, with most of the active
months selling down to the low record
of last Tuesday during the early ses-
sion, under bear pressure. which was
stimulated by easier cables and favor
able weather reports from the South.
The decline was checked by a demand
for May from strong spot and banking
interests, and prices later rallied from
the lowest, and during the middle of
the morning the market was steady at
a net decline Of about soil points.
The market was very quiet late in
the forenoon, with prices at midday
about 6 to o points net lower on near
months and 2 to 3 points lower on new
crop positions. This represented the
slight recover from the lowest, which
was attributed to covering and a mod
crate demand from trade interests.
