 Somebody gave Dr. Cook boujuet Tears dimmed hls eyes as he buried his face in their fragrance. It's years since I have seen flowers said the ex- plorer with quiver of emotion in his voice.

VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION.
Twice as Many Carried in Elevators
rs on Lateral Lines.

From the New YORK sun
Vertical transportation in New York
has reached enormous proportions. and
according TO q paper recently read before
the Electrical Engineering Society Of Co
lumola University twice AZ many people
are carried vertically as are carried hort
zontally every twenty-four hours.
Taking twenty-six Of the large Office
buildings in the lower part OF the Bor-
ough OF Manhattan. al OF eighteen floors
or over. this authority states. we find a
total OF SO floors in all. aggregating a
height Of approximately one and one
third miles. In these twenty-six build
ings there are JIG express elevators Jrav-
cling an aggregate distance OF 27S miles
an hour and averaging $4,000 pasSsneers
a day. These same tWenty-siN buildings
have Us local elevators running approx
mately the same number OF car miles per
hour, but carrying about $1,000 passen-
gers per day. This makes a total Of 81
elevators running 100 miles carrying a
total OF 6l5.oo0 passengers per day.
Taking the 5000 elevators used exclu-
OF Manhattan and dividing them into
groups. allowing for the number Of per
sons carried, We md that they transport
approximately 6.5oo000 passengers per
day. From the last report OF the public
service commission we learn that only
2500. .000 are carried per day by surface
elevated. and subway cars in the entire
city OF Greater New York.

The Senate's New Budget Committee.

The creation in the Senate Of a commit
tee on expenditures ii the executive de-
partments marks an important advance
in Congressional control OF governmental
income and outgo. Composed Of the
chairmen Of the several appropriation
committees. It is proposed that the new
committee shall have fun authority over
appropriations in bulk; ia short, that il
shall be a real budget committee, with
general supervision over the fiscal policy
OF the Senate. Some such committee has
long been needed in both Houses. Mr..
CGrtelyou, as Secretary Of the Treasury,
"'ventured TO suggest" the appointment Of
a joint committee vested with the power
OF revising the appropriation bills. with a
view to distributing reductions and in
creases in an equitable manner. and with
a view also 10 the relative Importance of
the objects for which appropriations were
sought" The Senate budget committee
may be able to cooperate with the House
Appropriations Committee. though that
committee has been shorn Of much of
Its power over supply bills, so that the
cooperation might be Ineffective as
brake on expenditures. but the probability
is that It viii act independently. thus
concentrating budgetary control in the
Senate.
1t is this possible development that will
attract the notice Of the student OF con-
stitutional growth. The inability Of the
House to exercise any effective control
over expenditures was openly confessed
on the floor by the chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriations, and
the confession was emphasized by the
attempt. through a rider on an appro-
priation bill. to throw responsibility for
Increasing governmental expenditures on
the Executive by requiring the President
70 make specific recommendations as 20
how expenditures shall be accommodated
to revenues. It is, Of course. desirable
that the estimates Of expenditures sub
mitted to Congress should bear some
