No Tipping" on German Railways.

Germany appreciates more and more
every year the financial benefits accru-
ing from "the tourist industry" and is
especially DESTROYS Of attracting Ameri-
can travellers, because they are the most
lavish of all in the expenditure of
money.
Tourists generally viii be interested III
the new regulations which are to go into
force on the German railways on the list
OF next month. They are drastic, which
is not unusual quality i'll German
rules, and on the whole they seem to
be just and practical. Tipping of rail-
way employees on trains is prohibited !;
passengers giving tips will be punished
and the official brbed will be dismissed.
The railways will be responsible for pas
sengers' luggage for fourteen days and
at all times responsible for luggage lost.
Children over 10 years will not be per-
mitted to travel in compartments re-
served for women. Ii train is full, a
traveller, although he may have a ticket
may BIO compelled to wait for the next
train. A friend taking leave of trav-
eler and remaining in a train until it
moves will have to pay a fine of $3.50.
Other European countries would do
well to follow the good example which
Germany has set in abolishing tipping on
railways, for the exaction has been a
nuisance not only in Germany, but also
In Russia, in Italy, and, of late years,
In France. One reform leads to others
Europeans object to the American sleep
ing car, with it's open berths, averring
that it is immodest. This is an impu-
tation at which Americans feel disposed
to smile. The European compartment
system has never commanded their APP
prevail. Its supposed privacy is some
times invaded by railroad employees with
skeleton keys who manage to get from
one stateroom to another through a con
meeting toilet. and who often make serl-
Gus depredations upon baggage. This is
a risk OF travel which does not exist to
the same extent in America.

OPEN AIR AT FANCY PRICE.
Owners of Skyscrapers Have to Pay
Handsomely for Privileges.

~@~A~%@ VA Sng SSAapc1S nave u ray
Handsomely for Privileges.
The buying, selling and renting of air
- an ordinary business in the big cities,
~ argued by an observer The air bought
and sold is not piped in from great tanks
like gas, nor is it furnished in con-
densed form like oxygen in small cylin-
ders. 1t is simply the open air be-
tween the roof and the sky which New
York operators have learned to control
and put an ordinary value on, says the
Baltimore American.
Sunlight has long been commodity of
price In the crowded districts, as those
who rent apartments facing south know
20 the sorrow of their pocketbooks.
But the air business is described as
the direct development of the boom in
skyscrapers, which require more than
their share of oxygen. Far seeing specu-
lators of New York in many cases have
secured such a monopoly of the air sup
ply that owners of towering structures
cannot get air in the open market, but
must pay fancy prices for it.
In order to get air the owners of sky
scrapers are forced to pay heavy con-
sideration to their neighbors to prevent
the blocking up of the windows of their
apartments. They rent the air, paying
fixed price for a period of years, the
covenant being that there shall be placed
no impeachment in the way Of free circu-
lation of atmosphere.
The English law gives an owner of
property the right to easement for light
and air along the line of a lot. But
there are no such legal provisions in
America; hence what has been termed
the most curious of modern trafics.
