GUS fact that employees who are en-
gagged in work that involves peril of

For a Greater New York.


Colossal engineering projects are so
much i'm the air nowadays that New York
has not been startled by the proposal to
fill in East river and much of the shallow
lower bay. and thus create greater
New York i'll a new sense by uniting Man
haitian to Brooklyn. and almost connect
ing it with Staten island which would be
connected With the extended Manhattan
by tunnels and bridges about mile long.
"a development which the originator of the
scheme I. kcnnard Thomson. thinks
would increase the value of Staten island
from $5o.0co.00 to ten times that. East
river. cut off at the Harlem river. would
be led across I.ond island east of Brook
lyn TO discharge into Jamaica bay. South
of the Wall battery for several miles a sea
wall would be built. almost reaching Stat
en- island and then turning sharply to the
Brooklyn shore. The filling in of all this
space would add 10 square miles of new
land to the city, land moreover adjacent
TO the business center. This would give
New York an area, without crossing any
water more formidable than the Harlem,
about "a miles long by II wide, and tre-
mcn,lous city it would be. Mr.. Thomson
admits that it would be expensive: he es-
timates the cost at $60,OCO.0O0 a year with
out fixing "A time limit. But he thinks that
the profits would be great enough to wipe
out the state and city debt.

Luxury for ostriches.

Dealing with the anti-plumage cam
paign in England, the Cape Times in
a leading article remarks that: Were
it not for the commercial value of it's
feathers. the ostrich would today be
as rare in civilized South Africa as the
hippopotamus. The ostrich is really
much pampered bird, living life OF
pure luxury He is bred and kept in
condition merely for the sake of his
feathers, and generally he lives to a
ripe old age. The feathers are not
pulled out from the sockets by the
roots, but are cut with as little pain
to the bird as is caused to a sheep by
the shearer."
