say that those localities are much near

Various civic associations tina are

ly to the spread Of population into the
new suburban flats. They recognize
that New York's immense population
could never be housed entirely in small
dwellings. When the projected sub
ways are finished. population will have
increased to a volume large enough to
cover with nathouses practically all OF
the homo territory opened by the new
lines. The land will be needed for mats

ford to put up capacious structures of

Suoh homes are regarded with favor
by the sociologists as the best solution
Of the congestion problem. They fore
see the time when nearly all of the
suburban territory covered by the
city's rapid transit lines must be de-
voted to such houses in order to take
care of the masses. Those who make
homes in small private dwellings will
use the trunk line railroads rather
than the municipal rapid transit lines.
STATEN ISLAND DEMANDS A

Staten islanders are rising to demand
assurance Of q subway at once. They

velop Yonkers. Jamaica and any outly-

III Staten Island gets this one tunnel

We want fair play. Then Richmond
would have a phenomenal Increase In

would have high value and a ready mar
ket, whereas now there Is no property
within fifty miles Of City Hal which

by my father in 1880 would not bring

a Prayer Zen centurIes old.

Among the documents and manu-
scripts taken by the Pelliot mission Of
France from cave in Chinese Turkes-
tan, where they had lain during ten
centuries, Is q curious manuscript re-
corded by the French Academy of Sci
ences. The manuscript is In one OF the
Oldest known Hebrew texts. 1t Is a
prayer formed Of passages taken from
the Psalms and from the prophets,
written in beautiful square Hebrew,
with very rudimentary system of vo-
calization.
Evidently the manuscript was car
ried on the person of the man who
owned 1t. Hebrew scholars believe that
the document dates from the eighth or
ninth century of the Christian era, and
that 1t belonged to pious Jewish mer-
chant of Arabia. No such paper was
known in Arabia in either the eighth
or ninth century, therefore 1t is sup
posed that the manuscript was tran
sceibed for It's owner when he was In
China, where such paper was to be
ound.-Harper's Weekly.

THE LEGEND OF THE LARK
Japanese Have Many Stories About
Their Birds, One Of Which Is
the Following.

The Ainu 1.-THE aborigines Of Japan)
have many legends about birds, one
of which is very pretty. 1t is thus
given by recent writer:
1.-THE skylark used to live in heaven.
One day the God of heaven sent him
down to the earth with message for
the gods who reside here, telling him
to return the same day. But the little
bird thought the earth such a nice
place that he stayed to play. He was
here so long that 1t began to grow
dark, and he therefore determined to
spend the night on the ground. The
next day he arose in the air to return
to heaven, but God met him when he
was about six score feet up and said:
Why did you not return as / told
you? AS. therefore, you have dis
obeyed my words you shall not re-
turn to heaven, but live upon the
earth. Although you may attempt to
fly as high as heaven, yet you shall
never be able to get any higher than
one or two scores of six feet The
little bird was exceedingly concerned
at this, and arguing with God, said:
"Oh, great God, as the world you
made is so beautiful l could not help
taking a look at 1t and so got late.
Although you chide me for this, yet !
will fly back to heaven In this way
he answered God. But God did not
consent. Therefore the little bird
grew more and more distressed, and
daily went as high as he could, plead
ing all the time; yet God would never
consent to his entrance into heaven
again. He therefore returned to the
earth to play. After a time he as
cended and did the same thing, yet
God did not consent. The same thing
continues to happen now every sum-
mer, but God never will allow him to
return"
This, as / have said, is very pretty
and even spiritual, but 1t seems to
have been happy incident, for It Is
in striking contrast to the other
legends, which are more or less stu
pid and pointless.-Forest and Stream.

England is so much richer for Manuel's

counteractIns Lack of Sunshine.

A house built in Brooklyn was des-
ignated, as far as could be, to counter
act the lack of sunlight, which the
houses situation made unavoidable.
The chief means for giving the i'm
preston of sunshine were yellow tint
ed walls and amber glass skylights.
Monotony in the yellow tones was
avoided because the location of each
room offered some peculiar problem
which was best solved by a tint diff
ferent from that OF the rest of the
house. 1t is said that even on gray
days there was enough of the stimu-
lating effect of sunshine to prevent
dull spirits, and the effect of the de-
sign on the health of the occupants
was most beneficent.

1906, Louis ]. Bernhardt, after serving
a ten-year sentence in the State peni-
Tertiary of Tennessee, was released. In
all, he had served in various prisons
twenty-five years. Still youthful in APP
pearance he occupied the pulpit in st.

where J. Pierpont Morgan and other

night, and told the story of his life and
his subsequent struggles to get away
from crime.
The big congregation listened atten-
lively to this remarkable recital. Bern
hardt is the manager of Criminals Mis-
