NEW APAR TMENT HOUSE
Nolan, Wardman and Others Also Contem-
plating Erection of Similar
Structures.

Will be developed. so that the coming
months Will witness the addition of quite
number of such structures to those al
ready in use. 1t is quite evident the
supply of buildings of this sort is not
greater than the demand, surprising it
may seem to those who have been impress
ed both by the number and the size of
buildings of this sort.
Those who are i'll position to form a
fairly accurate idea of the state of the
market say that the demand is not far in
excess of the supply, and on that account
it Is not anticipated there will be any
great rush to add to the number of apart
ment houses. Those now in use are said
to be we'll occupied and more apartments
could be rented if they We're availa BILE.
1t is not claimed there are long waiting
lists in most of the apartments, but it is
said the business is satisfactory and is Il
growing one, and that there is room for
more buildings.
The situation is being considered just
now with a good deal of attention on the
part of men who build and those who
have money to lend, as it is now the
period of between seasons in the building
trades when arrangements for the coming
months of building usually made.
House building is also at a low ehb just
now, which is seaSonable condition, as
il is not a favorable time for starting new
outside work

THE KINGS WAGE.

There is country spot i'm Italy by the

king sometimes goes in summer to rest.
Here he wears very plain clothes and u
cap like any other man. He often walks
about alone.
One day he overlook little Anna Car

the baby in one arm and "A basket OF
oranges in the other. She WAS ten and
the baby was two years old.

He took the child who was in no way

a laughing, happy creature, and pointed

The king set the baby down.
1t was a most rude and bare house. for

Il thank you very much. sir said
Anna. And ! will give YOU an orange

She selected a large one. The king
took it.
Just the ntwo of his aids came walking

These are two of my friends. Anna.

MANY CITIES IMPROVED

a bulletin has recently been issued by
the bureau of mines, which was prepared
by Samuel B. Flagg, in which he presents
the results of an investigation by the
bureau of mines into the matter of smoke
ordinances in the various cities of the
country, and their effectiveness. Below
is an abstract of parts of this bulletin.
In connection with the investigation
smoke ordinances were obtained from
practically every city of the country
which had adopted any such ordinances
and this bulletin contains the full ordi-
nanceS of Chicago, which is considered
to be perhaps the most comprehensive
and most complete of those in effect in

The vacant ground on the west side OF

nue. and Bancroft place is to be improved
by the erection of an apartment house.
The owner of the property. Mrs. Jenness
Miller. has plans under consideration for
a building which will occupy the entire
frontage of forty-four feet. AS an alley
extends along the southern line of the
property. the building will have three
sides open to the light and air.
1t is designed to give the building the
height of five stories, and, as there Will
be but one suite on each floor, the ar
engagements will provide for a style of
living that is possible In houses of the
larger type. The exterior is to be fin
ished in a manner in keeping with the
locality and a building of this char

This will be the second apartment house
of this kind that has been built by Mrs.
Miller. as she erected the Wendell man
sions on Massa chusetts avenue west of
Sheridan Circle. \ building of similar
kind was erected several years ago at
the southeast corner of 18th and NJ

one was built on the east side of 10th

Do Not Define Dense

large. proportion of the cities simply
prohibit the emission of dense gray or

the word dense" Obviously, an ordi-
nance so formulated leaves open for ar
gument the question as to what is dense

for that reason be more difficult
The real reason that more has not

In the general discussion of the prob
lem the author states that different
cities require different treatment of the
smoke problem, which is affected by
topography and climatic conditions. char
aractcr of fuel, nature of industries, i'm
portance as railroad center, etc. The
bearing of the last item is shown by the
statement that in Chicago locomotives
produce ~ per cent of all the smoke
emitted.
Undoubtedly the greatest Improvement
in connection with smoke emission has
been made in the stationary steam boiler
furnaces, although in some localities the
amount of locomotive and steamboat
smoke has been greatly reduced" This
is partly explained by the more exact
knowledge concerning the designing and
operation of stationary furnaces

THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
XVII-COSMOPOLITAN SHANGHAI
By Frederic ]. Haskin.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Books. articles and poems by the ton
have been written on China. Foreigners
by the hundred have covered the shelves
of the worlds libraries with tones de-
voted to China's history. it's people, its
peculiarities and its possibilities A sur
vey of all this might make one think that
western workers in the Celestial en-
pire have done nothing there. and are
nothing there. For every twenty writers
who serve. up musty lore there is hardly
one to tell the vivid story Of occidental
influence in that old but not unchange-
able land. Whenever such a rarity ap-
pears he gets his inspiration from Shang-
hal. the hub of foreign activity in China.
Picking has its matchless treasures,
Soochow its grand canal. Marking its
relics Of the Ming emperors, Chefoo its
missions and its laces. Canton its curios
and Hongkong its peak, but Shanghai is
just Shanghai, and there is none like it.
Shanghai has refreshing bits Of the worr-
ders the others display to the extent of
safety, with plenty of additional attrac-
tons distinctly Shanghaiese. Its rivals
cannot even do it the compliment of
imitation. Shanghai is oriental. Shang-
hal is occidental. 1t has been a foreig n
metropolis for fifty years. before many
American cities were ever heard of. All
roads lead to Shanghai as they are sup
posed to lead to Rome. They reach it
through river junkS, railroads from the
interior. merchantmen from the north and
south coasts, liners from Japan. AUS
tralia. India. Europe and America.
Shanghai occupies the tip of Kiangsu
province, the garden Of central China .
The site is on the west bank of the
Ifwang-po river. In the extreme eastern
part of the province, just a stones throw
from the mighty Yangtze Kiang, and only
twenty miles from the ocean. Back of it
is a fertile alluvial plain of A. 600 square
miles supporting a population of many
growing millions, the fruits of whose
labor go to Shanghai by steam and sail.
In front is a large share of the China
ward commerce of the world.
