REPAIRS NEARLY FINISHED.
Building on I Street Changed From
Dwelling to Business House.

The Old-fashiOned residence, 1411 l
street northwest. has been SO completely
changed that it is no longer recognizable
as a dwelling. This was the purpose Of
the owner. of the property, Ben B. Brad
ford, under whose direction the trans
formation has been made from private
residence into a business building.
The entire north section of the first floor
of the building on the left of the main
entrance is being fitted up as suite Of
offices for the real estate business OF
Bradford & Bradford, Of which Ben b.
Bradford Is the senior partner. 1t will be
one of the largest offices of the kind in
the city and in addition to the main Office,
with the private Office of Mr.. Bradford
adjoining. there are to be spacious quar-
tiers for the use of the corps of statesmen.
The change in the use of this building
is suggestive of the progress in the ex-
tension of the area that is devoted to
business. A similar transformation has
taken place on 14th street and the tide
of business is now quite up to l street
along 18th street. -

GRASSED SLOPES AID
RAILWAY MAINTENANCE.
Roots OF Sod and Shrubbery
Prevent Water Damage to
Right of Way.

erased slopes along railways arc Civ
ing excellent satisfaction. In the case of
one railway the roadbed was primarily
designed to keep it thoroughly well
drained. for water is the greatest enemy
lit has. The plan calls for ditch lO1s
feet wide on each side of a four-track
road. and the bottom OF the ditch must
be 31s feet below the level of the top of
the ues Such construction requires
quite steep slopes in many places. and
accordingly every effort has been made
10 nave grass on them. 1t is assumed
py the average traveller that these at
tractive grassy banks are provided mainly
as ornaments. but the fact is that the
grass has utilitarian value of first inn
portance. Its purpose is to prevent the
washing of material into the bitches,
where 1t will retard the flow of water
enough to let it soften the roadbed. The
expense for keeping the bitches open is
materially reduced in this way.
The same thing is true, although in
less degree, of the work now being
done In planting shrubbery and orna-
mental trees in open places along the
right Of way. 1t is easier to keep track
in condition when the soil of adjacent
land is held in place by sod and shrub
berry than when every hard storm washes
dirt and stone into the bitches The
same thing is evident in the work of
keeping station grounds in an attractive
condition. Thousands of plants are grown
every year for use about these grounds
and there is every reason for believing
that when they have been set out the
expense Of keeping the premises in a neat
condition will be less than it is today,
where irregular bare spaces inevitably
become disigured by Accommodations of
refuse of many kinds. The results Of
such work are encouraging to those who
believe that economy and attractiveness
often go hand in hand when plans are
made which permit it.

of the brightest stars he has reached
interesting results. Thus he finds that

diameter to that of our sun being
greater than that Of the sun to the

than 100000 miles, or more than
thirty times the distance from the
earth to the moon. On the other hand,

brightest of all the stars. is. accord

China 49, Buffer.

Professor Ian G. Hannah In MS
book, eastern Asia-A History" says
that tadcabs, or. rather, automatic
registers attached to horse cabs, were
invented about G3O A. D.. during the
Tang dynastry in China. In his opin-
ion the Chinese empire is 1.-THE great
est bluff in the world and 1t sug-
gests to him very ancient Chinese
fable, which he relates.
A monkey was captured by O tiger.
He whined that he was thin and his
aesh of poor taste. but he knew OF q
6ne fat donkey for the tiger. The t.
ger consented to be led to where the
donkey was tied. When the donkey
saw them coming he was frightened,
but recovered his composure and bawl-
ed in his masterful donkey voice:
Monkey, you used to bring me two
tigers Why only one today?'
The tiger did record hustle back to
the jungle.
China. says Professor Hannah. has
shown much of that donkey's resource
funess in its history.
