them and tie blue ribbons about their
Inecks, thus making certain that no
squirrel be counted twice. The latest
census, however, he's revealed the fact
that the number has decreased to less
than 1900. The cause Is attributed by
the superintendent not to race suicide,
but to blood thirsty chauffeurs. In
the past the squirrels which are con-
stantly crossing the roads have re-
ceived so much consideration from the
drivers of horse drawn vehicles that
1t was an occurrence out of the ordi-
nary when one was run over. Now,
however, it is no common thing to find
fifteen or twenty furry corpses in the
drives every day since automobile driv-
ers seem to have started a contest to
see which can run down most of the
unsuspecting animals. While such
hunting would seem to be the limit
in peculiar sport, the fact remains that
while before the advent OF the auto
the squirrels multiplied rapidly, their
numbers have been steadily decreasing
since it's coming.

What is probably the greatest in
dividual record in the depletion OF the
city's water supply occurred this week
when one youth took from the city
80, 900, 900 gallons Of the liquid stored in
the old Croton adueduct. The boy
however, was not a voluntary offender
since he was dead, having been drown
ed while playing on the edge Of the
reservoir. To recover the body 1t be-
came necessary to shut off all incom-
ing water and to drain the aqueduct
thus allowing to escape 90,000,000 gal
Ions of water, or enough to supply a
good sized city. The loss of the wa
ter, however, was practically without
effect, since the new aqueduct now
carries 100000 gallons daily to city
consumers. But for individual con-
sumption of water, the record is hard
ly likely ever TO be surpassed.

New York, Oct. 2s-Twenty five
years from now, If the present rate OF
increase continues, the expense OF
operating the municipal machinery OF
New York will exceed the total present
expense of the national government
| This Is the most startling fact brought
| to light by an analysis of the growth
| of the local budget, and the great
| problem which is confronting the city
at present is the manner in which
more than a billion dollars year can
be raised to meet the city's needs less
than a generation in the future. In
the last five years the annual budget
has increased practically so per cent
from about 500, 100000 in 1904 to
more than S150,000,000 in 1909. Con-
tinuing at this rate the budget Of 1915
will call for about $245.000.000, that of
1920 for $S64,000,000 or practically at
the rate Of $1,0OO,0O0 day; 1925 for
about $685., 100000, and 1885, just
twenty Ave years distant, for the In
credible sum of nearly $1,200,000,000
which reckoned even on a basis of TO-
coo 900 population will mean an annual
tax of 1920 year on every man, woin-
an or child In the community, or near
ly $500 for the average family. AS the

A possible explanation of the reason
why American ships are not more
largely represented in the ocean car
rying trade is afforded by an investi-
cation which one of the shippers or
ganizations has been conducting to de-
termina whether the rates charged for
carrying freight from this port were
unreasonably high. Tho steamship
companies maintain that they are too
low to be profitable on many classes
of freight. To determine this point a
careful inquiry was made into the
earnings OF the larger steamship COM
panies. Not all of their business Of
course represented American exports
and imports; in fact these constituted
