From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Governor Fort and some of the lead
ing citizens of New Jersey have deci-
ded to have a state boulevard along
the water front from the Atlantic
Highlands to Cape May. They will
take a bill to the Legislature at Tren-
ton and expect to secure its passage.
The proposition is to take yer the
various waterfront highways now
maintained by the counties, to con-
meet and widen them, and then to
bring under the state administration
some 745 miles of roads running inland
from this waterfront to various towns,
making $40 miles of road under state
care and control. The cost of main
tenance is expected TO be S260,000 a
year, but this state expe nditure will
considerably lessen the taxation of the
counties through which the roads run.
The new boulevard, If 1t is built ao-
cording to the present plan, will be Of
the greatest value to the summer resorts
along the coast, which are one of the
chief sources of income to the people
of the state. With the development of
automobiles this boulevard will make
those resorts more pleasantly accessible
from New York than they have yer
been. The auto run from Philadel-
phia to Atlantic City has been of
vaIr,a ~ that rooorf apd tho now road
will make the entire coast accessible to
riders from this city and Philadelphia
both. That development will lead to
an increased demand for SIMILAR roads
in other states. There has been a good
deal of talk about a boulevard up the
west bank of the Hudson, once the
new Hudson bridge across the Spuy-
ten Duyvil connects those highlands
with this city. That project will be
stimulated by the successful opening
of this New Jersey highway, and next
Will come a demand for a good road ito
connect Boston and the New England
coast resorts with this city. That
would require interstate cooperation,
and will be more difficult to bring
about, but it will come. AT present
we are laboring with a national move
ment to improve waterways as a relief
for the freight traffic of the railroads.
The automobile is bound to create a
demand on the states for highways
which will make possible an escape for
some passengers from the steam cars.
The New Jersey project is the entering
wedge of a movement which is bound
to grow.

Mozart,s Skull.

eff we were all constituted like Ham
let and could handle a skull as philo-
sophically as he" writes a sentimen-
talist In a Hamburg paper, 1--WE could
visit the Mozart museum at Salzburg,
enjoy the sights it offers and leave
there without finding any fault. I'm
fortunately, however, We are not so
cold, and therefore the protest which l

which are pointed out to the visitor, In
the same line with the old piano, let
ters, manuscript music, portraits. etc.
is the skull of the great master. 1t
matters little whether the skull is
really that of the composer or one used
for show purposes. The fact remains
that In the Mozart town, in Salzburg,
there seems to be no one who can
make the city fathers believe that the
exhibition demonstrates a lack of rev.
erence which shocks many people,

Anoat ON Hot Air.

Members of the house of representa-
tives are fond of poking fun at the
fiorid style of speech affected by a GER
tain congressman, who invariably con-
tributes much hot air" to any debate
in which he may participate.
On one occasion the politician In
question ventured to air his views
touching a financial act under consid-
Grafton, when he drew the following
ribald observation from an opponent:
"Our able and adventurous friend
has undertaken to present his views
upon this question. In this he re-
minds me of a beautiful swan breast
ing the sea with arched neck and
wings outspread to catch the CLINT of
the sea, moving along in serene and
stately splendor, but b~lissfully uncon-
scious of the unfathomable depths be-

Walt Whitman's Pride.

Whitman's grandmother was a
Quaker, and the bard had been all his
life used, Quaker fashion, to sitting in
the house with his sombrero or If 1t
suited him to do so. One day. with a
friend. he entered the gloomy and half
empty precincts of Trinity church,
New York, and took a back seat In the
.obscurity and for a moment forgot to
remove his hat or was probably just
about to do so when an oflcious verger
stepped up and requested him to take
it off. Walt, a man of immense pride,
not seeing fit to do SC instantaneously
or being very slow in his mental proc
esses, was taking the matter into con-
sideration for a second when the
verger knocked the offending hat off
his head. Walt picked up the huge
felt and, doubling it together, smote
the fellow vigorously twice OF thrice
with it on the head and slowly left
the church, the red faced sexton fol
lowing and threatening him with the
law.
