has been searching for a site and the one chosen is, it is claimed, unriv-
 alled in location even by any sum-
 mer hotel. Around this $2,000 900
 establishment will be mile long
 stone wall thirty feet high, on top of which it-has been facetiousIy pro-
 posed to install a promenade which in criminal society would correspond ito the famous board walk at Allan
 tic City. One of the advantages of the new site prominently mentioned in advocacy of it's selection is High land lake, which. within a stones throw, affords fishing and boating. There is to be library more fully stocked than that of many city, and a series of vaults for the safe guarding of the valuables of con Vict inmates. Whether these vaults can be used for the storing of plum der with which a criminal may get away, pending his release, remains to be determined Music, hot and cold baths, and telephones are only few of the minor features. Alto gether this new center of the most exclusive life of the criminal 400 is expected to prove so attractive that the police declare there will be lit tie difficulty in making the arrests which will lead to an opportunity to obtain a suite in it.
 It is now expected that the great est point of interest about this city will soon be the revolving house which is to be constructed by a New
 Yorker, out on Long Island This newest thing in domestic construc-
 tion, which in it's own field will be
 more of a novelty than the forty
 story sky -scrapers are in theirs, IS
 to be so built that it can be turned
 around at the will of the owner. Any
 room in the house or any spot on
 the piazza can be brought to bene-
 fit by the shade in summer or the
 sun in winter The wind will blow
 and the sun shine in any apartment
 as the owner may wish. This strange
 house which is to be either round
 or octagOnal in shape will be mount
 ed on ball bearings with the motive
 power furnished by electricity. All
 that it will be necessary for its
 owner to do to face any point of the
 compass will be to press a button.
 It's construction will be built on the
 plan of a railroad turntable and the
 builder has promised that it will turn
 without noise or jar. There will
 necessarily be many novel features.
 Altogether the house, which eXclu- sive of land will cost about $35,OOO.
 will for a time at least be one of the greatest curiosities in this part of the country. The owner has al
 I.fA f..
 elusive rights as to pictures, eXhi-
 bition purposes and the like. The man who is going to live in this novel house, however, takes matters very calmly, explaining that he is only building it because he can see no reason for always gazing on the same outlook from each window, and being roasted or frozen in any par ticular room as the wind and sun may dictate It is now expected that this first revolving house will be completed next spring.
 Probably the most novel scale of prices existing in New York is that embodied in the schedule just issued covering the price of kisses. The value of such osculatory salutations has long been a matter on which the courts of the city have differed widely. The price as determined by them has varied from a minimum of one cent to a maximum of several thousand dollars. But while the law has never been able to establish schedule. commercialism urged on by charity at last has. At an entertain ment to be given next week to raise funds for the benefit of the desti- tute crippled children of the city kisses will be sold by a young wo- ,.,nn ,,.I,n hns ,-nInntea her ser ]
