ANCIENT SKYSCRAPERs.
Roman Houses Were Tall and FIimsy,
the Streets Narrow Lanes.

the streets Narrow Lanes.
The tenement house is no new thing.
SO great was the number of such
houses and so badly were they put up
in ancient Rome that in 80 A. ID. the
Emperor Ohio. who was then marching
against ViteIlius. found his way barred
for twenty miles by the ruins of build
ings that had been undermined by an
inundation. The spontaneous collapse
of tenement houses was so common an
occurrence that little attention was
paid to it.
The tenants of these houses have
been described by writer of the time
as fearing to be buried or burned
alive Companies existed for the pur-
pose of prOpping and sustaining
houses
In comparison with the tenements Of
most modern cities. those of Rome
were excessively high. Martial alludes
to a poor man. a neighbor, who had to
mount 200 steps to reach his garnet.
That garnet must have been perched
nearly 100 feet above the level Of the
street.
1t is possible that Martial exaggerat-
ed, but 1t is certain that Augustus, to
make less frequent the occurrence OF
disasters. limited the height Of new
buses that opened upon the streets to
about sixty-eight feet. AS this was q
remedial regulation and referred only
to new houses fronting on the street.
1t follows that some houses must have
exceeded that height.
This, moreover. was irrespective OF
the breadth Of the street In Berlin the
medium width Of the streets is twenty
two meters, and In PariH the narrow
est streets are nearly eight meters
wide, while the streets Of Rome ex-
tended only five or six meters, and on
these narrow streets the tall houses
were built. Light and air must have
had some difficulty In penetrating those
narrow, walled In passages.

SARDOU AT REHEARSALS.
He Worried tho Actors to seowIs and
tho Actresses 70 Tears.

He Worried tn: Actors to scowIs and
tho Actresses TO Tears.
Sardou, the great French playwright,
knew how to profit by the views Of 9TH
er people Jerome A. Hart writes In
his book, "Sardou and the Sardou
Plays"
Like Alexandra Dumas pere, SardOu
was extremely sensitive to the opinions
Of the less subtle spectators Of his re-
hearsals. He closely watched and
needed the impressions and comments
Of the stage carpenters. scene painters,
firemen, supers and other humble peo-
pie behind the scenes. They represent
ed to him the average mind Of the av-
erage audience To the opinions Of ac-
tors Of his unproduced pieces he paid
little heed: to the opinions OF critics.
none at ALL At rehearsals no details
escaped him. He would seat himself
on the stage chairs and sofas, open and
shut the practicable doors, go to the
back Of the parterre to study the per-
spective Of the scene, climb to the high
est gallery to see If the audience there
could hear, and then hasten back to
the stage.
There he would~seat himself. jump
ing up during the rehearsal thirty or
forty times to show the actors his idea
Of the action. In doing this he would
laugh. would cry. would shrek and
would even die a mimic death. Com
ing to life again, he would call for his
overcoat and hasten to muffle himself
up as before. He was very sensitive to
cold and always came on the stage
with a heavy coat. a muffier and cap
to protect him from drafts.
"He would rehearse from 10 In the
morning until 3. when he would take
sandwich and a glass Of wine. After
this he would resume his work until 8.
at which hour hes would go blithely
forth into the street. smiling and hum
ming, followed as one resentful play
er put 1t. by scowling actors and weep
ing actresses.

the question l have heard so many

The Tragedy of immigration Laws

and was an attrac tive woman; but
the authorities at Ellis Island would
not let her ashore, so back to Santi-

Island two Cinnamon who had been
dragged from hiding. and put ashore
from other steamers, were turned
over to us and were put off at San

smuggling themselves abroad. Then
AGAIN a mother with three clingirg
children attempted to come abroad
at one of our ports, but the ships

day the disappointed, who by the

able. are turned aside and are for
