enough TO make dwelling house rentals unattrac-

such buildings somewhat remote from transit

lower rentals prevailed. At the time the elevated

land which IN many places rose to great heights,

Another factor which played an important part,
1T appears now, as the apartment house situation
OF the earlier days is examined. the increased
cost or land arising from the building of the ele
waited structures In the 70's. The increase in the
price OF land in those days large as

The Gyroscope Auto.

New York Cor. Boston Herald
 The "gyroscope" automobile, the car concerning which vague rumors have been circulated, which was to ride with almost no perceptible motion in ths body, as easily over rough roads as over boulevards, and which was to take corners at its highest speed without one chance of being overturned, Is not a myth The car is actually being manufactured and shortly will be mar keted in this city.
 In principle of construction the car is a radical departure from any car heretofore manufactured. In it has been applied the principle of the gyro- scope, by means of which Louis Bren- nan was enabled to demonstrate before the Royal Society in London a year ago the actual operation of a mono-rail car, balanced by a large fiy-wheel re- volving in a horizontal plane, the bai- ancing power being so great that the car, driven through its own wheels and sustained by the gyroscopic action of the f1y-wheel. travelled along single wire suspended in the air.

pings, but cuts off what he wants and filings it on the range.
 Take 1t from me that mighty few res- taurants or lunchroom kitchens in this town are entirely free from filth.
 Beware of club sandwiches in the cheap restaurants. They are made from odds and ends, and have more than their share of dirt mixed ill.
 "When a waiter suggests anything to you take it. He knows If you ask him if anything is good he'll tell you yes. But he, doesn't recommend things that he knows are bad"
 "Tell me-" queried the reporter, "do you walters ever eat cooked food in the restaurants?'
 Not in some where we have worked But we get careless. Now, even l have eaten Brunswick stews. But that just shows how reckless and indifferent a man can get. Don't think that all places are as bad as those I have described This place is one of the three in town l know to be absolutely clean. There was a fourth, but it failed because the man ager bought high-grade food for small trade. But, take it from me, you would get married and go to Housekeeping IT you had spent as many weeks in the waiting business as I have years. And it's not only the restaurants that are dirty. I have seen just as horrible sights in some of the big hotels. The dirtiest trick I ever saw a cook do was in the kitchen of some well known society peo- pie, who live not far from Dupont circle This lunchroom crusade is a good thing, but it was due ten years ago. l don think the situation is any worse than II was then But maybe I'm getting used to the dirty tricks of the trade

It was pretty steep road, shabbily built up, that must have been charming rambe half- century ago. I was confronted sud denly by stone wall and church. like building, where l had in my mind located the chateau; it had been built on Monsieur Beaucourt's property, bur somewhere nestling in the corner back of it under a group of trees I espied a spot of yellow, and then the chateau itself grew from it, and finally 1t was all there before me with it's triangular pediment and green blinds. There was something of field around 1t, sloping to a road that ran up higher beyond it. divided by wall of cobblestones.
 So it was here that Boz" looked down upon the old town and the great distance-from here that he looked down into the great depths of mankind and riveted their hearts with the spell of his pen It was here that Wilkic Collins Jerrold and Forster who be- came his Boswell, used to come and make merry, and where his children played-the children of his flesh. It was with conflicting emotions thought of that withered past, and out of which the mental child-little Dorrit-was &l.x old ramparts of the town would crum- ble away during her mere youth.

A FRIEND OF
 CHARLES DICKENS
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harpers Magazine.
 I began to make my inquiries at Bou- logne almost directly. l had located III the odd little hotel Meurice on the Ru7 Victor Hugo. I did not ask to see the fine old landlord, M. Loyal Derasseur, for that was only the fictitious name In the sketch, but felt that 1 must behold Monsieur Beaucourt, the real. amiable, and almost loving host who so won the heart of the novelist.
 1 was not surprised to find how little was known of Dickens association with the place, but I was hardly prepared to hear that Monsieur Beaucourt was still remembered, and almost familiarly so, by my French Boniface. Subsequently l learned from the tourists most friendly bookseller of Boulogne, where the dear old gentleman was buried-at Condette, little village near by. l found his grave lying by Gothic steepled church,

HOW THE PRESIDENTS
 STARTED OUT IN LIFE

fiat-boatman, clerk in country store. and he also saw military service during the Black Hawk war.
 Other presidents who practiced law successfully and gave 1t up to enter the political world were Chester A. Arthur. Benjamin Harrison, James Buchanan Rutherford B. Hayes, Franklin Pierce. John Tyler, Martin Van Buren, James K. Polk, John Adams, James Monroe James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson.
 Willard Fillmore was apprenticed for a few months when IA years old to the bus mess of carding wool and dressing cloth. In 1915 he continued this business but four years later he decided to become a lawyer While studying that profess sion he taught school. and after being admitted to the New York bar he be- came a very successful lawyer. He was elected vice president on the ticket with Zachary Taylor and became president at the latters death.
 Grover Cleveland was first clerk in a store; then he taught in the New York Institute for the Blind in that city. Short ly after he became clerk in a law firm, studied law, and then he practiced that profession most successfully in Buffalo.
 Andrew Johnson, who became president after Lincolns Assassination, was jour neyman tailor. His wife, Eliza McCar- dle, taught him to write, but 1t was not until he had been In Congress that he learned to write with any ease. During the troublous days of the cos Lincoln appointed him military governor of Ten nessee.
 To be governor of a state seems to be a stepping stone to the presidency. Thom- oc Taff af Inf as was James Monroe. James K. Polk was governor of Tennessee, Martin Van Buren was governor of New York. Ruth erford B. Hayes was governor of Ohio. John, Tyler was governor of Virginia; William Mckinley was governor of Ohio,
