MAXIM HAS GUN
FOR AlRSHIP
FIGHTING
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 10.
According to Hudson Maxim,
the inventor, the aeroplane al
ready is fitted for warfare and
gun he has just perfected, he says
will meet the demands of aerial
fighting. Maxim has been work
ing on the gun for a year and he
believes it will meet every de-
mand.
The gun will fire from every
point of the compass through
what Maxim calls the celestial
concave."

Every once in a while some sea
captain comes into New York or
Boston harbor with a tale to the
effect that the Gulf stream is
changing it's course. Then there
is flood of speculation as to
what would happen If the Gulf
stream were to sweep in around
Long island and up along the New
England coast.
Now comes a theorist with a
suggestion for the realization of
the dream of the Gulf stream
cranks. He tells how the Gulf
stream may be made to hug the
Atlantic seaboard by merely cut
ting across a neck of land in Nova
Scotia. The result, of course,
would be a radical change in the
climate of the North Atlantic
states. Presently the invigorat-
ing breezes of New England
would give way to the dangerous
zephyrs of the southland, the
sugar camp of Vermont to the
palm grove, the cranberry to the
pineapple. Would the stern Puri-
tan character also give way to the
easy-going spirit of the tropics,
and "manana" become the watch
word?
Perhaps. This should be look
ed into before the channel is cut.
Also Canada should be an
nexed. For the resultant deflec-
ton of the Gulf stream would
probably leave the mother coun-
try as cold as Greenland, which
would be scurvy trick for duti-
full colony to play on a real moth
er country. Canada really couldn't
allow it.-Editor.

around the little lakes in this park there
is being built dustless boulevard, fire.
Quently crossing but never disfguring the
little streams that hurry around moss COW
cred boulders.
At the very centre of Quaker Ridge is
the watershed Of three distinct streams.
Here are the springs that supply the water
for Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and
LaTchmont, with no possibility of receiving
impurities, for the land is the highest and
the springs are within the park, insuring
the purest spring water to residents. Not
lane not spring. not a waterfall nor a
brook is being disturbed. but on the con-
trary, these. together with the trees the
rocks, and everything that now contributes
TO the beauty of the landscape are TO be
included in a system Of parks nearly two
miles in extent.
This natural beauty is being enhanced
by an unusually artistic plan of develop
ment in the laying out of winding boule-
wards. intercepted by. shady lanes, bordered
by moss and ivy coIored stone walls, with
ample drainage electric lights. gas and
water. affording all the conveniences of

Club within the park an attractive, artis-
tic clubhouse and six regulation courts.

BEAUTY OF QUAKER RIDGE
New Rochelle Tennis Club to

In all Westchester County a more beauti-
ful. accessible and convenient spot fer a
home could not be found than at Quaker
Ridge Park.
Starting at Huguenot Park, which was
originally presented to Thomas Paine In
recognition Of service rendered the coun-
try IN the time of its greatest need, Quaker
Ridge Park extends in a natural parkway
fronting on North avenue until it meets
the Wykagyl golf links; then, turning to
the east. 1t attains an altitude of 200 feet
forming the first high point of the famous
Quaker Ridge, and from here passes down

BUILDINGS IN QUEENS
Permits for 2,565 Structures
Granted in Last Eight Months.

The report operations by the queens
Bureau of Buildings for the last elSht
months shows that plans were filed ana
permits granted for the erection of ZooO
structures, valued at S9.500,090- In August
$40 plans, for buildings estimated, TO cost
81 10000. were filed. In the corresponding
month of 1909 the capital investment in
construction operations was s3,3i6,00o. The
decrease is due almost entirely TO lack of
muIti-fanlily house construction, owing 10
the stringency of the tenement house law
as applied TO three-family structures.
Supplementing the report are details Of
filings during the last week, which. ac-
ccrdiEg TO the Buildings Bureau, exceed
the best previous record for a correspond
ing period in the history of the department.
The estimated cost of the operations is

The broadening demand for comparative
ly expensive homes referred to in broker
age reports, is shown in the Issuing OF
permits for the erection of number OF
dwellings to cost from $4,000 to $4,000 The
erection of pretentious houses in Malba,
Flushing and the home sections along the
north shore is offsetting to a great extent
the decline in tenement house construction
The opinion expressed by builders is that
there will be heavy homeseeking de-
mand following the opening OF the Penn
sylvania tunnels in September. and many
of them are preparing to act on the sue-
gestion of Ralph Peters, president OF the
Long Island Railroad. Mr.. Peters says:
ut is expected that many thousands VIII
come to Long Island Immediately after the
opening of the tunnels. The most lHlPol-
tant thing now is the construction Oh
dwelling houses for the great increase that
is soon to come. The greatest opportunity
for the builder of houses is now here. IL Is
hoped that the real estate interests VIII not
lose sight of this fact.

MUCH BUILDING ACTIVITY
Good Bank Statements Show

"The Record and Guide in an editorial
in its latest issue, says:
Fears of a money shortage this fall have
been dispelled by the weekly bank state
ments and reports from the west that
there is plenty Of money to move the crops
IjC1Iidation in the stock markets has re
leased an enormous amount OF money. Inc
volume of general business is large. but IN
some STAPLES such as building materials.
rrires are low Competition in all mechan-
ical trades is keen. The state OF empIoS-
nent is steadily improving, but 1t is appar-
ert that the purchasing power OF the Worh-
ing classes has not Vet been fully restored
Gradually it is strengthening, and Will WIN

loans will depend on the individual ;udg-

fr-s were fled in Manhattan, but this num-
her was larger by two than IN the CoILe- ,

this respect, without approaching the hs-
ures of 1863, and still be in reality as II i34S

CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND PROVIDES FOR NEW HAVEN
 ROAD, BUT THAT ALONE

Albany, N Y. June That the Financial standing of the Central New England railway is such at the pres ent time that it would not borrow a dollar. was the statement of it's gen. eral counsel. Edwards D. Robbins made at a hearing before the Public Service commission on the company's application for consent to mortgage 'Ss property and franchises and issue tour per cent mortgage bonds in eslcunt of s25.o0O,0OO. with a pres ens issue of s12,419.069.
 Tae commission had denied a for nner application of the company for the execution of a mortgage for $2O,- 100000 On the grounds that the ap- plicant sought to issue bonds to re- fund unpaid interest. and provision was only made for the taking up or securities of one creditor, the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- road, and the creditor was in abso- iute control of the applicant through stock ownership.
 The present petition is drawn to overcome the objectionable features of the former application.
