SIDEWALKS ON
SMITH STREET
Pave From Property Line to
Curb Relay Some.

New sidewalks are being laid and
others are being improved along
both sides of Smith street from the
Staten Island ferry terminal to the
Central railroad tracks under orders
issued by Street Commissioner
George M. Adair. A city ordinance
provides that sidewalks shall be
paved from gutter to building line
between those points. Enforcement
of this measure means a vast I'M
provement to Smith street. city ofie-
ials contend, for 1t will eliminate
muddy sidewalks such as have been
a nuisance along Smith street from
Madison avenue to the Central tracks
in past years.
Property owners are putting down
new sidewalk pavements of either
blue stone or concrete and others are
making preparations for having such
improvements started. Al stretch of
walk on the northerly side of Smith
street, extending eastward from the
Central railroad tracks, has been
paved from gutter to building line
with blue stone, making an excellent
walk. Sidewalks near Maple and
Mcclellan streets have been similarly
improved.
Sidewalks now paved which are in
poor shape SO as to cause pools of
water to form will also be Improved.

Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
has filed two tax appeals with Will
liam A. Spencer, of this city. clerk.
of the County Board of Taxation,
setting forth that assessments on
property owned by that corporation
in Metuchen and Raritan township
are considered, by the applicants,
to excessive. The appeals were re-
ceiyed and will be heard when q
sufficient number are received from
those districts to warrant a spe-
cial session of the board in that Sec
ton of the county.
In the appeals filed by the COM
pany, the railroad states it was as
sessed for 33.73 acres in Raritan
township at $1,000, while in reality
they W only two and one-half
acres. They ask that the assess
ment be reduced to $500. In Me-
tuchen they were assessed for land
valued at $4,000, whereas they
claim they only own land worth a
small portion Of that figure. They
state they have been assessed by
the county for second class railroad
property and land they recently.

Morris Greenberg, of New Bruins
wick, appeals from q $1,000 assess
ment on stock and asks that, it be

PAPER MADE BY WASPs.
Tho Way the Insects Gather Material
and Form the Product.

+-E HLl
Wasps are wonderful papermakers.
They make real paper. too, just as
truly as human papermakers.
Al wasp files to a flower and covers
the front Of its body with the dust of
the blossom. This Is moistened and
mixed with the wax which is secreted
on the surface of the wasp's body.
Then the insect repairs to an old fence
or other piece of weather worn wood
that has a loose, fuzzy, fibrous surface.
The wasp rubs itself on this fibroua
matter just as 1t did on the dust OF
the flower, and a layer of such matter
adheres to the insects body and be-
comes mingled with a in the same
way.
Then away goes the wasp to the
nest which 1T Is building, places itself
Just on the spot where 1t wants the
layer OF paper to lie and then works
Itself Into q heat by a furious molten
of the wings. so that the way Is mois-

Inents are made to suit the season as.
proclaimed by the emperor, although
they may not suit the individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese.
system of ordering the seasons is the
practice observed in france In all pub
