NEW YORK A CITY OF FLATS

Park avenue has usurped the honor
Of being the leading apartment street
OF the city. 1t is only a few years
since builders OF apartments gave any
attention to the east side of the city.
All their operations we're along Broad
way, Riverside drive and West End
avenue. II is only few years since
the first apartment house was erect
ed in Park avenue, yet most OF the
blocks on either side of the avenue
from Fifty-second to Eighty-third
street, are lined now with tall apart
ments, which are said to be the best
in the city. Though Park avenue is
considered the leading apartment
house avenue in the city, rentals
there are not exorbitant-in fact,
apartments in new buildings may be
got to fit almost any purse. Six rooms
and two baths can be had for $1,700
a year. Suites can be had even for
less rent than this. From S1,T00 rents
range gradually to $4,000, which is
about the highest rental paid on the
avenue. This rent is obtained in the
seventeen story apartment at Seventy
ninth street. Prices in this house are
from $4,000 to $4,000.
About two blocks away, at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Eighty-frst
street, as high as $4,000 a year may
be paid for apartments. This prob
ably is the highestpriced apartment
house in the world.
West End avenue has been the scene
of most of the apartment house build
ing on the west side since last sea-
son. Half dozen fine houses have
been erected there.

ART MARVELS FROM THE SEA
Ancient and Valuable Relics Removed
From sunken Ship of Tunlslan
Coast.

Paris.-News has been received of
an archaeological find of the greatest
interest. At Madhia, on the Tunisian
Greek sponge fishers noticed a strange
mass of wreckage lying at a depth
of 130 feet to the north of Madhia
lighthouse. Amid a tumble of timbers
lay splendid marble columns, bronze
statuettes, a superb life-sized boys fig
ure and other treasures, which they
succeeded in bringing to the surface.
II has now been ascertained that
the sunken ship was a vessel of about
400 tons, 100 feet long and % feet
broad She was laden with an ex-
traordinary, heterogeneous cargo, not
only blocks of MARBLE but bases and
capitals for columns, effigies. statues,
furniture, tiles, leaden piping, lamps,
amphorae, etc. Among the fragments
were found figures of a demigod and
a maiden and faun which correspond
almost exactly with those upon what
is known as the Borghese vase dug
up in Rome and now in the Louvre.
The bottom of the hold contains
about sixty columns of blush white
marble thirteen feet high, which were
probably one of the causes OF the
wreck of an evidently too heavily
freighted ship. All the inscriptions
deciphered relate to Attica and per-
sonages of the middle fourth century
B. c., and it might have been thought
that the vessel dated from that period
but for the Boethus statue and lamp
of a pattern only introduced into At
tica at the end of the second century
B. C. Some writing on lead ingots
also is in the Latin of that epoch and
experts have concluded so far that
the vessel was loaded in Attica for
Rome and probably the cargo was the
spoil after the taking Of Athens by
Sulla in sc B. C.

III ASHINGTON.-The boundaries Of
W the universe have been discov-
cred, according to a report received
Rt the National Observatory from
Prof. r. T. A. Innes, director of the
Union Observatory at Johannesburg,
South Africa. The announcement is
regarded with interest by astronom-
ers all over the world.
The universe. Prof. Innes asserts, is
contained within the space girdled by
the Milky Way. and he figures that
the most distant star in that wonder
ful girdle is $40 light years distant
from the earth. Inasmuch as the
planetary system, OF which the earth
is a member, is commonly supposed
by astronomers to be close TO the cen.
ters OF the arena embraced within the
Milky Way, and inasmuch as light
travels 10000 miles a second, or
over five and three-quarters quadril-
lion miles a year. the diameter of the
universe, by Prof. Inness calculation
is 1884, ,951 900, 600 miles. This is the
distance light would travel in 1850
years. A ray Of light takes sixteen
minutes and thirty-six seconds to
traverse the diameter OF the earths
orbit.
The so-called "hellum stars" the
johannesburg astronomer AYERS, are
the most distant of all stars from the
earth. The helium stars are peculiar
to the Milky Way.
Is there anything outside the uni.
verse; On this point Prof. Innes does
not venture a positive opinion, but he
says that the most powerful tele-
scopes penetrate far into space, be-
yond the boundaries Of the universe

says, there is absolutely no sign of

Popcorn Can Be Proftaby Raised on the Farm

THIRTY dollars worth Of popped
j corn in the form Of scent packages
for the market represents an outlay
Of only about 81 or S150 for raw ma
terial, according to a farmers bulletin
mo. 553) just issued by the depart
ment Of agriculture, entitled Popcorn
for the Home" Sufficient popcorn to
make $50 worth of scent packages
can be grown on a piece Of land 40
feet long and 20 feet wide.
The specialists in corn investiga-
tions who write this bulletin say that
popcorn has considerable value as a
food and when properly prepared for
the table It is superior to many OF
the breakfast foods now on the mar
ket.
: II It IS desired to grow popcorn as
a field crop, the surplus stock not
wanted for home use can usually be
sold to local merchants at a fair price,
or It can be proftably sold directly to
consumers.
Dealers who put up popcorn in 10
cent packages for the retail trade US
ually have a number Of good recipes
printed on the outside Of the package.
Some recipes for popcorn confections
that have given good results are the
following:
Chocolate Popcorn-Two teacupfuls
OF white sugar. two ounces of choco-
late, one-half cup of corn sirup, one
cup Of water.
Put these ingredients into a kettle

HOW SUN Is CHANGING.
By Garrett P. serviss.

The curious conduct of the weather
recently serves to call attention to the
very important researches which the
Smithsonial Institution has been con.
ducting for some years concerning the
variability of the sun.
There is no longer doubt that the
sun is variable star, and that its vari.
ations are often sufficient to produce
a general fall or rise of temperature
amounting, in brief periods of time, to
several degrees
The cause Of these variations is not
fully understood, but it evidently re.

somewhat like the fluctuations of a
fire dying down and then blazing more
fiercely. But the sun is not a fire, al.
though it is hotter than any fire we
can produce 1t is a globe of intensely
heated gases, in which substances like
iron, which are solid upon the earth,
exist in the state of growing vapors.
IL remains in constantly heated
condition because Of its immense mass
(more than 100000 times that Of the
earth). The mutual attraction Of its
gaseous particles draws them together,
producing an immense compression in
the interior, and this compression
serves to increase the heat. As the
heat radiates away from the sun S
surface the supply within is kept up
by the closer contraction of the whole
mass. The sun becomes gradually
smaller through this process, diminish.
