To discover a town under the waves

provoking as 1t would have been ten

disclosed the fact that since the Roman

sank about thirty five feet and then
rose about nineteen feet. Scientists
are ROW conviced that what is going

NEW YORK FINE HOUSES
OCCUPIED BY SERVANTS
I enantless "CaStIes" There as
Interesting as Any That May
Be Seen on Other Side.

Americans especially New Workers.,
need not go to far-off Europe to view
with wonder tenantless castles and alb
beys, for there are many palatial homes
in New York city, states the New York
Sun, that know no tenants. There are no
abbeys or castles. but there are the
equals of many such on the other side
of the ocean both in value and splendor.
Tley are surrounded by romances, too,
which. if not poetic as some of the leg
ends associated with Furope's unoccupied
houses. contain more truth than the CEN
tury-worn tales entwining the old coun-
try places. New Yorks tenantless cas-
Ties are between 34th and 10th street.
There are probably half hundred In
this area that have not been used by
their owners for years. Some or them
have boarded up windows and doors while
others are kept as If the master or mis-
tress was at home every day To the out
ward world these houses look to be all
that their exterior would imply-places OF
comfort and happiness.
Mind Picture Of Builders.
With lights burning brightly in the
halls and behind drawn curtains the
passerby cannot help but picture in his
mind the men who have built these fine
structures, costing in many cases up
ward of a million dollars, seated within
ENJOYING the pleasures such homes are
supposed to bring That Is the natural
Inference for the man outside cannot see
where more comfort and grandeur can
be had Though natural the thought is
not always correct, for many OF the
brightly lighted houses passed of an even
ing on top of swaying Fifth avenue bus
are tenanted only by servants who keep
the place in readiness for the arrival
at any time Of their employers.
A realty man who has an inclination
for figures says there are upward of
So. OCO OCO in fine houses occupied only
by servants and caretakers within few
blocks Of Central Park. Another thought
this figure a very conservative estimate.
He thought sa5,oo0oOO would not be any
too great since one Of these houses is
valued at $4,000, doc alone.
Many of these houses are deserted be-
cause of the exigencies Of active business
life social whims or as result Of ef-
forts to satisfy some sentiment. Marriage
and death have robbed many houses Of
their tenants and others have been made
idle through the idiosyncrasy OF the peo-
pie who built them. Then domestic
troubles have caused many houses to be
left only to servants to enjoy their
broad halls and spacious rooms.
