BLOWN OUT OF BEDS.
Racine Family Escape from Wrecked
Home in Night Clothes After
Explosion

RACINE, Wis, April 6.-[SpeciaL j
An explosion at 2:4O o'clock this morn
ing blew out the entire front of the
building at 1912 State street occupied by
Sam Rond as grocery store and occu-
pied in the rear by Meyer Rastenberg
and family of eight. People were
aroused for half mile around and
pieces of the building and stock were
thrown 200 feet. The Rastenberg fami-
ly were blown from their beds and fed

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

Owners of Skyscrapers Have to Pay
Handsomely for Privileges.
The buying, selling and renting of air
Is an ordinary business in the big cities,
as 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
to 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-
Iators of New York in many cases have
secured such 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
Bcrapers are forced to pay heavy con-
Sideration to their neighbors to prevent
Abe 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
aO impediment in the way OF free clrcu-
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 traffics.

PASSES A GOOD NIGHT.
Little Hope Is Entertained, However, for
Ultimate Recovery of Former
Congressman Babcock.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April c.
Especial. Charles Babcock said this
morning that his father, former Repre-
sentative J. W. Babcock, had passed a
comfortable night and seemed somewhat
better this morning.
However, said Mr.. Babcock, father
is undeniably in a most critical condi-
ton and while physicians are in constant
attendance and careful nursing is being
done | must admit | am very doubtful
if he will recover. His illness is of such
a character, affecting as it does the liver
and kidneys, that in reality no one can
predict the outcome.
I'VE are encouraged that he may rally,
but l greatly fear should his will pull
him through, the relief would be only of
a comparatively temporary character"

cided upon by the International wa
terways commission.
The present boundary lines between
the United States and Canada are an
intangible thing and in many places
quite unsettled. The plan which has
been outlined by the international wa
terways commission and is now being
worked out contemplates locating at
every point where the boundary line
makes an angle two monuments di-
rectly opposite each other on the two
shores of the lakes.
The exact number of monuments
which will be necessary will hot be
known until the boundary line has
been definitely agreed upon and ap-
proved by the British government and
the federal authorities at Washington
1t is said. however, that there may be
at least fifty. Designs for the monu-
ments have not yet been thought out,
but it is probable that they will be
metal shafts of great height.
