TO HURRY NEW SUBWAY PLANS.
Board OF Estimate Asked to Approve
Double Deck Route.

Because of the expectation that the
Governor will sign the bill permitting
the building of new subways with private
capital the Public Service Commission
wrote Yesterday to the Board of Estimate
asking for an immediate approval of the
plan TO construct double deck subway
on that part of the Broadway-L Lex ington
avenue route which extends from Houston
street to the Harlem River.
The route as planned by the old Rapid
Transit Commission provided for a four
track line on one level. but Lexington ave-
nue. is SO narrow that the new board has
modified the plans to provide for two
story line. The engineers Of the Public
Service Commission have estimated that
this change will mean saving of about
$40, 900 900 because the subway can be kept
within the curb lines and not invade
vault spaces or make necessary the pur-
chase of easements.
1t was reported yesterday that the In
terborough company, rather than lose
the chance of extending the present sub
way north under Lexington avenue was
planning to suggest scheme to the Pub
lie Service Commission which would not
only follow out to a large extent the Broad
way Lexington route but would also
form a triborough subway. either by
means Of branch line which would cross
Manhattan Bridge or by connecting the
proposed line with the existing tunnel to
BROOKLYN. At the Offices of the Inter-
borough company no confirmation OF
this report could be obtained. The only
information that could be ascertainei was
that the company was preparing to sub
nit plans TO the commission for the
extension of its present subway system
but that the company was not yet ready
to give out the details of these plans.
One COMPANY has already offered to
build two branches Of the present subwa,.
one running north under Lexington
avenue from Forty-seoond street and
another under Seventh avenue proceed
ing south from Long Acre Square. The
commission has let it be known that it
will not sanction the Lexington avenue
extension, but that 1t would agree to
plan which would carry the existing sub
way north on the East Side under Third

Why They 6neeZed.

Before a woman who went into William
Schwaneman's grocery store at 2s2s
Third avenue last night could ask the
price OF a pound Of butter she began to
sneeze. Then Schwaneman sneezed, and
his two clerks chimed in. Policeman
MCGEE, who dropped in to see what the
matter was, caught the infection and was
soon two sneezee ahead.
McGee followed the clue supplied by
his nose and found q barrel Of pepper on
fire in the cellar. When the firemen came
they sneezed too, but after wrapping wet
towels about their faces they managed
TO douse the blaze. The damage was
confined to the barrel and the sneezine

nounced as a discovery or a develop
ment calculated to revolutionize the
orchard industry. OF late we hear
less about It, A little later the "thorn-
less" blackberry appeared on the hori-
zon. 1t certainly was thornless, but
somehow it failed to drive the fero-
ciously armed brambles of the berry
gardens into the desert. 1t is still
produced, but the older kinds are yet
much more common. Now the "seed-
less" grape bids for favor. Such a
fruit would surely "meet long felt

the few thus far grown can be per-
petuated and it. proves remuneratively

The Indians are great on using the
telephone. They have but little or no
use for the local boards, their calls
being over the long distance. They
do not put in a call for the Individual.
They do not ask for White Eagle at
Canton or Flying Cloud at Darlington.
The call is for "any Cheyenne" The
same is true as to the Arapahoes.

An Indian puts in call for any
member of his tribe at Canton Oar

The Flat Wheel.

The enormous energy developed by
fiat spot in wheel has been esti-
mated by Professor Hancock of Pur-
due university. He finds that fat
spot two and one-half inches long on
a thirty-three inch wheel, carrying a
load of 5000 pounds at thirty miles
per hour, will deliver blow to the
rail of more than 1000 foot pounds.
The same fat wheel supporting a fifty
five ton interurban car running sixty
miles per hour would deliver n blow
with an energy of $500 foot pounds.
Such a fat spot would be produced by
wearing off less than five one-hun-
dredths of an inch Of metal.-Scien-

The new German method of fight
ing fire in light liquids, like benzine
or gasoline, consists IN covering the
surface with layer of foam contain
ing an inert gas, thus cutting off the
air aud making combustion impos-
sible. The approved apparatus made
by Prussian company near Moiden,
as described 10y Consul Y. II. Nor
ton, consists of simple metal
cylinder, divided into two cham bers,
and provided with long spout. One
cham ber is charged with an aqueous
solution of potash alum and sodium
sulphate; the other, with a solution
of sodium blcar Donate, sodium sui
phate, aud licorice root extract. AS
the two cylinders are inclined or re-
versed, the two solutions mix as they
issue from the spout, and the chem
ical reaction between the alum and
bicarbonate gives prompt evolution
Of caron dioxide, converting the
Iicorice solution into an exoee iingly
stiff and persistent foam. Even when
the burning liquid has become so hot
that its fiery vapor bubbles up
through the foam, the carbon dioxide
rapidly cuols it. In test by the
Hanover fire department, 18 gallons
of benzine- partly in shallow iron
pan and partly scattered on the
ground-was allowed to burn three
minutes, and then received the con-
tents of two foam extinguishers,
which quickly arrested the fire.
When the foam was removed and fire
relighted, water from 2-inch hose
was insufficient to check the flames,
which spread rapidly endangering
nearby buildings.
Bees return to their hives in a
direct line when they have been
carried away and liberated, up to two
miles. This has been supposed to be
due either to the sense of sight or of
smell, hut the experiments of CASTOR
BONNER have proven that neither
sight nor smell can serve the purpose.
and that bees have special 'sense
of direction. This sense is not in
the antennae.
