the business was to string more overhead
wires, as the company did not feel itself
justified in spending each year more than
would take care Of the present needs, be-
cause Of the uncertainty Of the future.
Even the new central Office, not yet com.
ploted, is not constructed TO Withstand
more than five years Of expansion.
"The result Of the rapidly increasing
overhead construction is that Coney Isl-
and's streets are decorated by more lines
Of wire than the streets Of any other place
in the country, not even excepting some
Of the larger cities. The underground
layout employed in the Borough u Man
haitian is out Of the question,
"The trouble tnat would be made in some
places by trees Is caused at Coney Island
by slack sections Of wire becoming oosened
from the insulators TO which is added
the danger from the heavy electric light
currents, The telephone and electric light
wires are not on the same poles, but they
approach each other on entering the build
ings, and when the light wires become
grounded a troublesome noise Ia caused
on the telephone lines. The heavy electric
light feeders, necessary because Of Coney

neers, -The construction engineers in

South African Plant That Hears Them
Found 10 Thrive in America.
The pipe smoker has treat before him,
thanks to the labors Of certain experts Of
the Department Of Agriculture,
Some time ago Dr. David Fairohild,
chief Of the Office OF tropical plant intro
duction, received as a present number
Of pipe bowls made from the curious Gala
bash gourd indigenous to South Africa.
The qualities Of the calabash gourd pipe
we're tested by DR.. Fairchild, with the
result that he found it to be the king of
pipes, from the educated smokers point
Of view,
Not only does the gourd pipe yield a
very sweet and cool smoke but il colors
beautifully, surpassing in this respect, he
says, the finest IneeTschaum. Moreover no
art can improve upon the grace Of the
naturally formed bowls.
We are now introducing this gourd
into the United States said DR.. Fair
child, for the purpose Of pipe making
and have found that IL thrlves perfectly
in our climate. A short while ago | made
DR.. Alexander Graham Bell a present OF a
calabash gourd pipe, having grown the
gourd myself In my country place in Mary
land lew miles from TINS CITY. Dr. Bell
told me the other day that his pipe sur
passed his expectations, Civ ing really
superior smoke and coloring evenly and
in the most beautiful manner
SThe present market price Of these pipes
is, believe, rather high, there being but
limited number Of the gourds now being
grown In the United States. The perfect
success with which the gourd can be grown
In almost any part OF the country, but par
ticularly In California, warrants us TO believe
that 1t will prove good investment TO i'm.

A curious feature OF the calabash gourd
pipe Is its resemblance 10 certain capacious
bowled meerschaum popular In Germany
II is said that Boer farmer first utilized
the gourd a. a pipe and that an English
smoker next recog .zed the use 70 which
the plant could be adapted. In South
Africa the gourd pipe Is now an established
institution.
DR.. Fairchlld and others Of the tropical
plant Office believe that tine American
smoker will not be slow 10 appreciate this
latest and best thing In pipes. which, they
believe, 10 destined 70 oust the meerschaum

A worthy memorial OF an eminent Ameri-
ear Is presented In the two volumes con-
nituting the biography Of John Sherman:
Hs LITE and Public Services, by WINFIELD
3. KERR Boston; Sherman, French 4 CO...
The ~biographer, who has been a member
81 the Senate OF his State and a Representa-
I've In Congress from Ohio, knew the sub
ieot well and was one Of his devoted fol-
lowers. He recognizes in an introduction
that the weakness Of a friends tribute 10 a
great contemporary figure is the tendency
toward eTaggeration. He Acknowledges
that as regards his account Of his friends
private life and personal character the
work before us may disclose this fault,
but he firmly maintains that his words do
not and could not adequately describe OF
measure the value Of John Sherman's
achievements In the field Of public service.
BE holds II 10 be no disparagement TO others
10 say that from the beginning Of the civil
war 10 the passage and successful operation
Of the act for the resumption OF specie
payment-a period Of nearly twenty years
John Sherman, as Senator and Secretary
Of the Treasury, had more to do than dny
other single public official with the enact
ment and execution Of those financial meas
ureS which furnished the means Of prose-
cutting the war, and then, when the contest
was over, planned the way back to a specie
basis and provided for the payment and
Tefunding Of the public debt. In con-
formity 10 his intention Of combining HIM
elf mainly to his subjects public career
the biographer has not attempted to offer
more than the merest outline Of Sherman's
private and professional life up 20 the date
Of his entering the public service, The
portrayal Of his private life was performed
BY Sherman himself in his "Recollections.'
That something else might or should be
done he indicated in his last will and tesla
ment, wherein he provided for the writing
Of a biography, but added the following
words; This provision is not made to
secure a eulogy, for | am conscious Of many
faults, but | claim that in my duty to the
public | have been honest, faithful and
true" It has been Mr.. Kerr's purpose to
prove, and he has undoubtedly succeeded
In proving, that Sherman's modest estimate
Of lis public service was well founded.
The biographer meant exactly what he
said in the Introduction about not trenching
upop the field Of private life covered by
John Sherman's -Recollections.' Only
some twenty pages are devoted TO a review
Of all the events and incidents which &C.
CURED before 1854. when John Sherman,
then 81 years old, was elected to the Federal
House Of Representatives. 1t ia only for
the sake Of refreshing the readers memory
and helping him TO get his bearings quickly
that we glance at the first two chapters Of
this narrative.

previously been a Wing. but with the
repeal Of the Missouri Compromise tho
] Wing party lost 10 a very great extent
its national character and ceased TO be a
potent factor in national politics. The
United States Senator who first moved
the repeal was a Kentucky Wing, and
with a few conspicuous exceptions the
Southern Wings in Congress supported the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, Obviously, II the
Wings and Democrats OF the South could
strike hands TO extend slavery, there was
no other question Of sufficient moment or
force 10 divide them. The irresistible in
fuenoe Of sectional interest solidihed
Southern sentiment and so recruited the
Democratic party that south Of the Potomao
and the Ohio il became supreme.
In the North the situation was almost
the reverse Of that presented in the South.
In the former section the process was one
Of disintegration. There years Of contest
had 80 emblttered many elements OF
the anti Democratic majority against the
Wings that il was impossible to lure them
into the Wing camp, A new party there
fore was indispensable and accordingly
one came into being composed Of Wilmot-
Proyiso men, Know othings, Free Sellers
and Old Wings. In 1855 the opponents Of
the Nebraska bill assembled in convention
at Columbus, Ohio, selected John Sherman
az permanent chairman and adopted
Republican as its party name. Such was
really the beginning Of a public career
which was to run for nearly half a century
and 10 equal in distinction and Importance
that Of almost any other statesman Of the
republic. Sherman's election to Congress
in the previous year had attracted no special
notice, Nothing in his life up to 1885 would
have marked him out above a SCORE or
more Of the distinguished men present in
the convention. He himself in his "Recol-
lections' attributes his designation az
chairman and also his previous nomination
for the House Of Representatives TO the
fact that he had not been Extensively con
spicuous in either Of the old parties. He
was available because no was compare
lively conservative, and the progress Of
political events rendered it evident that
the success of the Republican party would
depend upon the extent to which it should
remain conservative.
