HOUSEHOLD NOTES

If fresh fish is to be kept over night, it should be matted and laid on an earthern dish, not placed on a board or shelf.
 Green peas should not be boiled rap- idly as it will spoil them. They should simmer gently in just enough water to cover them.
 Velvet and ribbons may be cleaned with gasoline. After cleaning steam the velvets and iron the ribbons on the wrong side.
 If a recipe calls for half pound of raisins or curants a heaping cupful of the fruit will be found about the right weight.

Montauk Point for Ocean Steamers
Negotiations Under Way for Making it the Landing
Point for Passengers Freight and Passenger Boats
to New London.

Negotiations are under way between
the White Star Steamship company
and the Long Island railroad for the
new leviathan steamships. Olympic and
1ltanlc, which will cross the ocean
next summer. After President Ralph
Peters OF the railroad and several di-
rectors had conferred with engineers
for four hours, Mr.. Peters made a
statement.
Some of the engineers have made a
thorough investigation of Fort Pond
bay, the site selected by Austin Cor
bin for the New York terminal of ocean
steamship traffic. Maps have been pre-
pared showing a breakwater that will
extend from ShacWannock Point half
way to Gardeners Island. On the bay
shore viii be built the docks planned
more than twenty years ago by Corbin.
AS necessary part of the plan to
pring travellers from Europe into the
heart of New York by the Long Island
railroad and Pennsylvania tunnel en-
glneers are preparing plans for mann
motn transfer station al Jamaica, l..
l. Inc trip from Fort Pond bay to the
new pennsylvania station could be
made in less than three hours with
fast trains, while steamship men esti-
mate that from ten to twelve hours is
required to land ocean passengers at
the Chelsea piers
The new port will not be used for
freight traffic until the big ships are
finally forced to abandon the city piers
altogether. After passengers have been
discharged the ship will come to New
ork to deliver freight.
Montauk is the solution of the
problem of handling incoming passen-
ger traffic" said a steamship official
Under the new plan a ship that would
ordinarily reach New York at night
VIII discharge passengers in the after
noon. When they arrive in New York
city they will be ready to go on to
other cities. The companies will save
about $4,000 trip in the cost of meals
The depth Of water at Montauk
which is feet, makes it possible for
ships to dock without waiting for the
tide Of course it will be impossible
to make Montauk the sailing port un-
til all the companies establish docks
there. Our strong advertisement at
present is taking passengers from New
York while their friends are at the
pier to see them off. Long Island
would be too far off for the friends to
accompany outward bound tourists, but
on landing the passengers would well
come quick run to New York

bin and his followers failed to picture

I be built along the southern shores OF
Gardeners bay and the harbor which
Arthur Benson of Brooklyn bought
from the tribe of Montauk Indians for
several hundred dollars and negro
wives. After the first pier is built
steamship men say, work will be push
ed on continuous system of such
structures stretching half mile OF
more from shore.
With from four to eight hours clip
ped from the time of TRANSATLANTIC
voyages, steamship men predict that II
will be only a short time when the
New York docks will be used chiefly
for freight. Some even say the big
piers built by the city along West
street may be used in time solely for
coastWiSe steamers.
The Long Island railroad is rushing
work on its terminal at Bay Ridge,
whence there are boat connections with
the freight yards in New Jersey. From
Fort Pond to New London, Conn,
freight and passenger boats may speed
across the sound connecting with
Connecticut railroads.
Corbin had in mind the East river
tunnel when he first mentioned Mon
tauk as a, steamship harbor and when
the Pennsylvania railroad connected
Long Island and New Jersey with a
central station in New York the steam
ship companies seriously considered
the plan. Unable to find sufficient dock
ing space along the Manhattan shore
the White Star officials began nego-
tiations for the Montauk landing.
When the project is carried out to
it's full extent the Pennsylvania rail-
road will be in practical control of the
handling of all transatlantic passengers
and freight. The Long Island railroad
has acquired enough land at Long ISL
and City and other important points tC
carry all the freight shipping dis
tributing stations whence it can be re-
1ayed to New Jersey.
The United States government will
have to build a custom house branch
somewhere on the shore of the bay.
small island just across the water
probably will be set aside for a, quar-
antine station. The federal govern
ment also will be confronted with the
question Of handling mail from Mon
tauk, and pneumatic tube system may
be laid across the entire length of Ions
Island under the East river and to the
postoffice in New York.
Montauk Point is now reached over
a one-track line of the Long Island
railroad But the new plan calls fol
at least four tracks. Eventually sly
tracks may be used, as there will be
through trains, with sleeping cars anc
dining cars, to rush through to Phila-
delpllia, ST. Louis and Chicago.
