will find many attractive places where
comfortable homes are TO be had.
All OF this country Ia 80 harnessed
by railroads to New York city, and the
running time between the city and the
various settlements has been so re-
duced during the last year or two, that
to all purposes Queens and Nassau
counties actually have become part
OF the great metropolis. even as Brook
lyn, where so many thousands # New
York business men make their homes.
For many years there has been a
keen competition between New Jersey
on one hapd and Wes,chester and
nearer Connecticut on the other for the
suburban resident Long Island did not
enter into the matter to any great eX-
tent because. where those other sec
IONS had several railroads all doing
their utmost to satisfy suburban resi-
dents. Long Island had only one road
heavily handicapped by old fashioned
equipment and an inability to better
travelling conditions Now. however,
the conditions are reversed travelling
on the Long Island Railroad Is as good
as on any road running out OF New
York. and through this improved ser
vice home seekers are able tn reach the
, available home sections OF Long Island
in less time than is required to reach
most Of the sections in other suburban
districts.
1t Is the comparative ne wness OF LonG
! Island as a residential place that makes
this possible. Prior to the coming oi

Queens county or borough was almost
unavailable as a home section, ever

The sun., 1912-08-11

Queens and Nassau started their real
growth. Now that there Is good train
service. which makes It possible for
commuters to reach any part Of this
great area in less than an hour. de-
velopment and settlement Is going on
quite as fast as enthusiasts thought II
would when rapid transit was only In
prospect.
Many Of the old small settlements
which were known up to a few years
ago as farming centres and summer
resorts have developed into thriving
home communities. and with tho COM
ing Of population their entire appear
ances have changed. The old dirt road
has given way to one Of we'll laid ma
cadam: the old shell or dirt sidewalk
to cement: wells and Cistcrns have
given place to good city or town water
systems. and sewers have taken the
place Of the old cesspools. Everywhere
and on every hand are signs OF the
revival. The old corner general store
has been supplanted by a row Of we'll
built establishments where the various
necessities are handled under separate
roofs. Many OF the leading Manhattan
merchants have found It profitable to
establish branches in the various set
Elements where residents can get the
same quality and variety Of goods as
are to be had In Manhattan and at the
same prices. No longer do residents OF
Queens and Nassau counties make
weekly trips to Jamaica or Brooklyn
for supplies.
In this recent growth Of the various
communities, the older sections have
been rebuilt largely and OF course new
sections added. so that the general tone
Of all Long Island settlements IL one
OF newness. Everything seems clean
and bright. and modern architecture
and landscape work has added a touch
which II lacking in older places and
gives an added attraction for the home
seeker. But at this time, next to the
convenience Of Long Island from the
business mans point Of view. the great
est drawing card Is the variety Of low
priced land. Long Island IL still far
from the state OF congestion which
makes for high prices. and even in the
finest residential places near Jamaica
Garden City. Great Neck and down the
Rockaway coast. homes and plots for
homes can be had at prices and on
terms which the average business man
or his employee can afford.
During the last six months the build
ers OF Queens and Nassau counties
have been through their busiest season
Building statistics show that there has
been a new record established for thi,
area In the number of new homes
erected. They range from the most
simple, inexpensive cottage on a plot
which always permits of a little lawr

BEWARE DEADLY CYANIDE
Persons Mayo Been Killed Merely by lnhaing the Fumes of the
 Powerful Poison.

Cyanide of potassium is one of the most deadly poisons known to chemistry, and is very seldom used by physicians, says the Washington Post. When it is found absolutely necessary to prescribe cyanide in or der to relieve spasmodic coughs, it is then prescribed in the smallest quan- titles, usually about one-eighth of a grain. Five grains of cyanide of potassium, or quantity about as large as a small sized pea, is suifi- cient to kill a strong man.
 In appearance cyanide comes in gray-white, opaque pieces or in gran ular powder. The crystalline com pound, when seen in the tin cans, in which it is usually packed, looks absolutely harmless, yet there have been cases where death has been caused by persons simply inhaling the fumes of cyanide. In Bingham ton, N. r., one night several years ago, Dr. Bailey, a pharmacist, was pounding piece of cyanide of potas- sium into pulverized form. The next morning he was found dead on the floor of his drug store as result of having inhaled the fumes of the deadly poison.

WHY HIS NAME WAS SHORT
All Letters of Alphabet Used Up In Last Name, Leaving Nothing
 for Given Name.

A visit to New York's bureau of naturalization is always productive of a good smile. Recently a man with name something like Zebrits- kowylitis told his friends he had been in this country long enough to warrtn him in taking out his citizen ship papers.
 "Sign your name for me-" said friend who pretended to have infu- ence with the powers that be- enough to expedite matters-"and I'll see that you're pushed in."
 The man of the long name wrote it upon piece of paper and pre- fixed it simply with the initials "A. B."
 ''Write out your full name," said his friend.
 ''That ii is" said the foreigner who would vote.
 "No; I mean spell out your given name."
 "A. B. is all there Is of it. You should know the boys they call me Aby."
 Sure; but that's short for Abra- ham," said the friend.
 "No," he insisted; Git are my full name. Just them letters"
 "Aw," butted in a man standing near, "all the letters of the alphabet are used up in his last name, and you ought to know there aren't any left to make up given namev'- New York Tribune.
