for Medium-Priced Muffs.

Seattle, Wash,-There is an island
in Puget sound OF about Is acres, the
center Of which Is a dense forest of
FIR, hemlock and cedar. Underbrush,
vines and ferns have intergrown amid
the trunks OF the trees until the whole
seems as impossible to human trafflc
as Jungle. The shore line is a
mixture of gigantic rocks and stretch
es Of sandy beach. No man would
choose to live on the island, but never
theless II is the means of earning a
big income for six men who are prom
fnent In the fur trade of the Pacific
coast
The island has been used as cat
farm. It Is so thick with cats that
the rocks appear from the decks OF
passing steamers to be literally COW
cred with the feline quadrupeds. They
are Of all ages. colors and sizes. Pas
sengers like to have the captain pull
the boat close to shore that they may
see the cats rolling, leaping and play
ing on the rocks. beach or on the
trunks Of fallen trees
There are thousands Of cats on this
Cat island and they are the source OF
great profit to their owners. who sell
their fur that women may have nuns.
Every evening boatload OF men
land on the south shore OF the island.
About dusk they unload sein quarter

semicircle. the radius Of which IS the

boat reaches shore farther to the west

heavy load of fish. The men pull I'M

dreds and hundreds Of pounds OF many
kinds of fish upon the beach. Then
they wash the sein. load 1t into their
boats and pull away for their homes.

There is growing demand for In

II has been found that cats fed on
fish possess a very beautiful glossy fur

Every year there is great roundup
and several thousands OF cats lose
their lives.

Is estimated at $1,000 900. The height
OF the new building will be 539 feet.
1t will not be the Hottest here. the
Metropolitan tower being over 657 feet
to the apex and the Singer tower 612
feet. The Gillender building will not

frame, which Is almost as good as new
can be used again elsewhere.
The wrecking contractor, who re-
ceives $4,000 for the Job, is allowed

1t Is usual for building contractors
here to keep shifts of workmen 60

Jobs are undertaken, as the owners
want to begin collecting rents as soon
as possible. and accordingly time Is
money. Building operations are hand
led here with skill as well as quick
ness, the use of the street by pedestri-

Notable Example IL Willingness Of
Owners to Wreck Nlneteen-Story
Offender Building, Together
With Structure Adjoining.

New York.-Fifth avenue supplies a
notable example of the slowness with
which public work proceeds here. as
elsewhere. The new public library,
which fills the plot from Fortieth to
Forty second street. and which has
been building during the last IL
years at cost of sS,0O0,000 or more,
Is not finished, although huge struc-
lures for private owners are erected
In New York more rapidly than any
where else In the world. Looking at
the public library pile, beautiful
gray structure. one Is reminded of the
leisurely manner in which the San
Francisco postofflce was built Sew
eral months ago the completion OF the
library was mistakenly set for May
l. 1t may be opened year hence.
An episode attending the transfer
nation Of Fifth avenue from a resi-
dence street into a lively business
thoroughfare is the tearing down OF
two four-story houses at the corner
OF Thirty seventh street, which had
been among the city's best mansions
half a century ago, to avoid payment
of further taxes on them. On account
Of the change in the character of the
avenue the houses had become unde-
sirable as residences, and were I'M
occupied, and as they brought In no
revenue the tax saving In this heav-
lily taxed city was deemend worth
while. The land is held for business
purposes, and an offer of 81 ,600,0 900 for
the "A feet frontage was refused some
time ago. The imposing mansions of
the Vanderbilts and their relatives on
Fifth avenue, each worth a big for
tune, are now surrounded by marts of
trade, and are seldom occupied. Across
the street from the lordly residences
of the head OF the Vanderbilt family
has been reared an apartment house,
on which hangs the sign "Housekeep-
Ing Apartments to Let"
Often In New York large buildings
have been torn down to make way for

Ever Scared in Britain.

Atlantic City.-Glenn Curtiss set
IN American record for fifty mile
flight in an aeropane Monday after
noon by covering fifty measured miles
In five mile laps along the beach in
elapsed time of | hour IA minutes
SO seconds.
At the end of his fifty mile flight
Curtiss swept his machine back over
the waterways ON the meadow side
of the city and made an entire cir
Gle of the resort before he descend
ed to receive the plaudits of the
cheering crowd.
Mrs. Curtiss was among the first
to greet him. Walter Brookins, who
made the worlds altitude record,
and Frank Coffyn, his rivals flying
the Wright machine, were among
those who crowded around him and
extended their congratulations,
In the early evening Curtiss set a
new mark for quick climbing by
sweeping his machine l 900 feet in
the air In minutes and 81 seconds.
At the end of this flight Curtiss
declared that his engine worked per-
fectly and added his belief that the
added weight which he was forced
10 carry in emergency apparatus in
case of falling into the sea and
the necessity of running partly into
the wind to continue in the course
held him back at least fifteen miles
an hour
Brookins started up Immediately
from
flight and described sharp curves
and turns, ending with his first ex-
hibition Of a triple turn that almost
stood his machine on end.
During his flight, Brookins made
1000 foot sweep along the bench
just over the heads of the crowd,
ending by driving his machine over
the breakers, hardly foot from the
surf.
New York.-Clifford B. Harmon,
we'll known as an amateur aviator,
made an attempt to fly in an aero
plane from Barden City, l.. l., across
Long Island Sound to the residence
of Commodore E. c. Benedict, at
Greenwich, Conn. Not only did he
fall, but his machine fell distance
of $50 feet and was wrecked Har-
mon was badly shaken up, but not
seriously injured, the branches of

Burnemouth.- Two new British
records for flying were made by J.
Armstrong Drexel, son of Anthony
Drexel, at the aviation meeting here
on Monday. He reached an altitude
of 1850 feet on his first attempt.
He made another ascent about sun
set and beat his own record, achiev-
ing a height of 2.i93 feet.
