Beauty and CommerciaIism.

Some time ago the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company adopted policy of
identifying u; far as possible the diff
ferent portions of its property. 1t was
a pet idea of Mr.. Winter. its presi.
dent. that the mere fact that a struc.
ture is built for commercial purposes
is no excuse for its being hideously
ugly.
This was quite, a reversal of old ira.
ditions. but it las already gone partly
into effect. The great new Williams
burg power station is the company's
| most striking exposition of this new
policy.
Beginning was made at the construc
| ton shop of the elevated lines at the
foot of Thirty-ninth street. The yart
! that surrounds this shop-formerly ,
passenger terminal station-was clean
ed of the litter of old locomotives ant
discarded coaches. These were solo
when possible and given away for fire
wood in other cases.
| Last spring the shop foremen, wer,
informed that the railroad would pro
coed to lay out the edge of the yart
with grass plots and flower beds. Sim

What the Kidneys Do.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism. govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

time was troubled with dull pains

WONDERS COMING
Marconi, of Wireless Telegraph Fame.
Predicts Electricity Will
Run Ships.
AIRSHIPS FOR COMMON USE
Inventor Also Sees a Better World,
With Fewer Children, But of
B. Higher Quality.

That steamships will be run by sun
shine is the opinion of Guglielmo Mar
conf. who recently discussed the mar
vels of the future.
The inventor of wireless telegraphy
has come to America TO increase his
transatlantic service from capacity
of 5000 words 4 day to 10000. After
predicting n great future for wireless
telegraphy he said to reporter of the
New York World:
There seems to he a happy fate in
the coincidence of scientific discover
les, which OH first thought are quite
unrelated to each other. The develop
ment of the airship. as shown in the
astounding performance of Orville
Wright's machine in Washington,
would seem to have nothing in COM
mon with the perfection of wireless
communication, and yet. if one looks
into the future, the great airships
which are to come, sailing at incredi-
BILE speed and at unforeseen and vary
ing attitudes, could never without the
wireless speak each other as ships do
at sea and so remain in touch with
those safely at home.
"And the airship is certain to come
into general use, and that within the
lifetime of our generation, not for
freight perhaps. but for people sure
~. In fifty years the people of New
York will be freed of the vexing prob
lem of rapid transit. There will be NJ
need for surface cars, elevated roads
subways, tunnels and ferries.
I'm fact. as look into the years t.
come l am convinced that life will bt
an easier problem, Il more genial func
ton in the scheme of things, than it i
today.
aside from the economy of labo
which follows the conquest of nature
forces. there will be fewer peopl,
among whom to divide the benefits
The birth rate will continue to de
crease, as l believe it should. at leas
for the present. With the growth o
intelligence among the mass of people
there will come a realization of til,
folly of rearing more children thai
can be properly fitted to be efiicien
members of society. Quality, not mum
bers, will come to be the standard o
, racial excellence. and the presen
anomalous condition wherein the mum
Der of children in family is in invers
ratio to the earning capacity of tn
parents will have disappeared.
1.-THE condition today is not one Q
race suicide but of social commo
sense. And if the present enlighter

continues to its righteous turnin
point there will come an end of cor
