Within a single week New York has lost two of its most famous marine possessions. each Of which has been talked of in every country in which English is spoken.

IN FARES SIS PER CAPITA

New York, Dec. I2.--Americans are the greatest users ofgstreet cars in tn e world. and figures which have just been complied here show that this city Is the greatest car-riding community in the country. The average number of rides for each one of its Inhabitants, men. women and children, during tn 0 past year. was SIT. This gives a to- tai of l.330.776,165 rides during the year. or nearly q tenth of the total for the whole country which Is about l5,- O00, 1000. .000. It is almost equal to the entire number of passengers handled by. the tramway systems of England and Wales.
 In other words. the average yearly expenditure of each New Yorker for car fare has reached the very consid- erable sum of S15,s5, while the total amount spent in the shape of the bil- lion and a third of nickeIs collected by conductors every year is s$66, ,53S,S77. Every day 3.5e0, ,000 passengers are car ried, the great majority during the morning and evening rush hours. In spite of the inadequacy of the existing facilities to meet the present demand, the riding habit is getting a stronger grip on the city every day.
 About ss60,000 more persons now ride each day than In 1906. As against the average of sir rides a year for each person in the past year, five years ago the average was only 266 rides. The total length of the street railroads covered in the figures Is 7s3 miles, or greater than that Of many important steam systems. Including sidings and turnouts and reducing third and fourth track to single track mileages the tos tai length of track Is 1.612 miles. In spite of the walls from the various car lines and their recent abolishment of practically ali transfers. the figures for the past year show q slight increase in the earnings of each car per mile. the figure as given being just a fraction under 26 cents per car mile.

Dancing as an Exercise

1t is rather curious fact that an IN
terest in folk music and folk dancing
should have been awakened in England
at the same time as in America. In
America the awakening seems to have
had its origin in the desire of school
managers and teachers TO find some
way of interesting children in singing
and physical exertions, something bet
ter than monotonous drill on the mill
tary model. The idea was sound, for
there can be no special reason why eX-
ercises devoted to make good fight
ing man should be the best for boys
and girls In America the mixed ma
tionalities in the schools have rendered
it easy to bring into use many excellent
examples of the wedding of song and
action the popularity of which has
been established in various countries
for many generations. In England the
awakening interest seems to have been
due to the same sort of feeling that
made some people fifty years ago,
very much to the advantage of their
heirs today, buy and store old furni-
ture: it was a regret to see beautiful
old things lost or destroyed.

TELLER AND
How Trees Eat and Sleep

Trees, like animals. eat, sleep. grow
and die. Every one knows this, yet not
every one is aware that trees tear their
clothes and have to mend them, that
they jostle one another like rude boys
in crowd, the strong overpowering
the weak.
Disease besets them Accidents break
their limbs. The varying weather

they put on warm coats in winter and
wait for spring. When the weather is
warm the tree goes to sleep at sun
down and in the morning wakes again.
cloudy sky makes the tree drowsy.
Rain puts it to sleep. So the only days
of prosperity and tree activity are the
clear days.
In sleep the leaves of many trees fold
together and droop. The closing of the
leaves checks the cooling process of
evaporation and maintains bodily heat.
All young and tender foliage tends thus
to curl up to sleep when the weather is
bad or night is in the sky. Older and

With Mother Goose as Hostess

II y ingenious junior who wanted to
a get up some original kind Of fun
recently issued invitations TO sew
oral Of her friends in the name OF
Mother Goose, and written with a quill.
When the guests arrived the hostess
placed an unadorned pastebOard crown
on each head. one Of these had a
double row Of holes all around it, and
when its wearer objected on the ground
that il should be whole like the rest,
Mother Goose, who was the Quaintest
little figure possible with peaked cap,
broomsttck and all. told him that the
holes were for ventilation.
Bowing right and left, Mother Goose
trpped among her guests, distributing
small tablets with pencils attached and
commanding them to show their lit
erary knowledge by finishing as many
OF her poems as possible.
on each page Of the tablets was
found a bit Of some familiar Mother
Goose rhyme, beheaded or curtailed,
and as soon rs a guest could complete
one correctly the cOmical little lady
drew forth q goose feather from the
big bag she carried and stuck II up
right IN the crown he or she wore. The
assembly therefore soon began to take

WITH THE
An Interesting Arithmetical
Game

Here is an interesting arithmetical
pastime for the boys and girls. Per
haps you think you can only give the
family, but 1t will work out quite as
well for an only child, as will be shown
later on. Let's suppose, to begin. that
you do question boy who is one of a
numerous flock. Say he has three
brothers who are living and two who
are dead, two sisters living and one
dead. You do not know this, but you
tell him you will give him full details
as soon as he has worked out a little
sum for you. Ask him to think of the
number of brothers he has living (3).
Double this number 60. Add to it
CO.. Multiply it by (45). Add the
number of living sisters 90 AZ. Multi
ply it by 10 (470). Add the number of
brothers and sisters who are dead o.
(473). Subtract $50 from the number
obtained by the last addition and an
nounce the final result. 1t will be 323.
At once you tell him he has three
dead brothers and sisters. two living
sisters and three living brothers. The
secret is revealed to you in this way:
The right hand figure of the result tells
the number who are dead. The middle
one tells the number of living sisters,
and the left hand one the number of
living brothers. The more quickly you
give the deductions the more mystic
rious appears your power, so again let
me caution you to practice until you
are letter perfect before you give
a public exhibition. even though your
audience consists of only one person.
Now see how nicely the problem
works out for an only child: His living
brothers are represented by 0, which
doubled still gives 0. Add 8. 8. Multiply
by 5, Is. Add the number of living sis
ters (0), Is. Multiply by 10, $50. Add
the number of deaths of brothers and
sisters CO.., $50. Subtract $50, 000 He
announces this result, and you tell him
he has no brothers or sisters living or
dead.

THE POET
To a Dog

Dear faithful object OF my tender care.
Whom but my partial eyes none fancy
fair;
May 1 unbalanced display thy social
mirth
Thy modest virtues and domestic
worth:
Thou silent. humble hatterer. yet sin
cere,
More swayed by love than interest or
fear;
Solely to please thy most ambitious
view,
As lovers fond. and more than lovers
true.
Who can resist those dumb. beseeching
eyes?
Those eyes. when language fails. dis
play thy heart
Beyond the pomp OF phrase and pride
of art.
Thou safe companion. and almost

Whose kind attachment but with life
shall end
Blest were mankind II many a prouder

Could boast thy grateful truth and

CHAT WITH THE JUNIORS

of the most interesting of these came
from Miss Pine Hawkes. of SOB
Haight street, San Francisco, who
sent in this week a paper autOmO-
bile model, fully equipped and COM
plete in every detail, and containing
q couple, the owners of the "ma-
chine" and their chauffeur, together
with a complete outfit of properly
fitting garments for all three, neatly
cut from paper by Miss Hawkes.. 1t
is an original idea, most ingeniously
worked out.
The Apteryx puzzle proved to be an
enormous success, as will be seen by
the long roll of honor which ap-
pears on the fourth page today. The
Patchwork Picture Puzzle is i'm
menSely popular just now and it is
safe to conclude that the interest
of the younger juniors in the animal
picture puzzle presented today will
equal that manifested in the Apteryx.
The history contest will be con-
tinued, under the same conditions as
heretofore, particulars of which are
given on the second page, and with
which juniors are asked to comply;
otherwise their stories can not be
used.
