LOT AS BIG AS A HAT
TabuIation in New York Dis
closes Odd Corner.
Has a Frontage on One Street Of One
Foot Four Inches, on Another OF
One Foot Two Inches and
Back Of One Foot.

New York.-As a result of the tabu-
lation of the citys most unusual pieces
Of property, what is probably the most
freakish bit of real estate in the
world has just been discovered here
in the shape of a corner plot in the
lower part of the city where corners
are generally sold at hundreds of thou
sands, IL not millions, of dollars.
The corner in question. however, is
valued at only $50. The low valua-
ton is partly explained by its size, or,
rather, lack of size, since it is believed
to be the smallest corner lot in the
world. and on this to a great extent
depends its claim to freakishness.
A derby hat would almost cover the
property in question, which is so small
that baby could not stand on 1t with
out encroaching on city property. IL
would be impossible to erect any sort
of structure on it, and yet 1t is
corner and is taxed by the city as
such.
According to the records of the tax
department, this tiny property has
frontage on one street of one foot and
four inches, on the other of one foot
and two inches and a rear line OF Just
one foot.
The mite Of land, which is within
half mile of the center of the worlds
greatest financial district, is what was
left as the result of street extensions
put through by the city.
A search of the records of the tax
department has revealed the fact that
not far from this corner is another
which is probably the second smallest
and cheapest in the city This chip
of land is hardly noticeably to the
passer-by, but it is valued for tax
purposes at 500, and has the dis
tinction of being the only corner at
that price in the city.
Directly across from this corner
is another. on which is located what is
probably the smallest building in the
city, built on a lot IL by IA feet and
capable of holding only two persons.
The smallest house in the city, as
revealed by recent research, is three
feet six inches wide, and twenty-five
feet long and two stories high, while
the narrowest frontage is that of a
downtown strip which, while it is "a
feet deep, is only two inches wide.

Chenille-Dotted VelIinus.

Many varieties of veilings were In
evidence at the New York Horse show,
says the Dry Goods Economist, but
chenille-dotted novelties were perhaps
in the lead. Dainty spring designs,
outlined in miniature chenille dots or
decorated in some odd fashion. were
especially prominent. The part which
chenille-dotted veilings played at this
fashionable gathering will no doubt
be influential In boosting the already
fair demand for chenille dots in local
retail stores. The country at large
has bought conservatively OF these
novelties, and in the majority of In
stances has done well with them.

DiaGE OF THE TRAINS.

The miles of the night
We have paved with light
To guard the flight
or the whIrring wheel;
And we ride by day
On a warded way
In the arbor gray

In our laundering race
We have conquered space.
And the coasts embrace
By our binding speed;
And Time turns back
On our tingling track,
While the steam whips cracks
On the metal steed.

We have changed a world
And Its riches whirled
To the hand of Man,
With the might of God
In the piston rod
And the fianges shod
For a holy plan.
We were fed and freed
For the goodly deed
Till the chill of greed
To the Man-mind came
Till the gold We gave
Made a cleaning pave
To the wreck-piled grave
And the pyred flame.
Now it's haste. more haste,
Through the town and the waste.
And our flight Is paced
By the Death-wind cold;
And It's pay, more pay,
For our masters gray
And the demons gay
When the knells are tolled.
God gave us birth
For the boon of Earth.
And we prove our worth
By the might of Man
But, still, and still.
We carry and kill
BY the miser's will
And the despot's plan.
