NEW YORK BEFORE IT WAS DE-
MAGNETlZED

Beneath the big receiving float OF
the F. c. & A. Aerial line twinkled the
scattered night lights of New York
city-the new New York, the New
York of 1862. Capt. Martin MacManus,
master Alligator, retired, and the
young float superintendent pulled uX-
uriously at their midnight cigars and
gazed down into the vast silence.
Hundreds Of tiny air craft, their
single white turret lights marking them
as private, streamed to I'M fro along
the passenger lanes. The traffic lanes
were empty, save for the inevitable
numbering newspaper carriers bearing
the hours papers to the express floats
at the lower n of the island.
No hum of crowded humanity came
upward through the night to the float,
for the humanity that once had packed
Manhattan island now was scattered
oyer the new 200 mile Metropolitan
area, a feat that had been made pos
sible by Durang's mastery of the law
of gravitation and the consequent de-
velopment of cheap, safe and swift
aerial transportation.

intendent musingly, that once upon a
time hat island was crowded so tight
ly that people were pushed off the
piers"

But why" persisted the younger
man, why did the people swarm so to
that little island when there was the
whole open country all ~around?"
Because" said MacManus. "it was
New York.
New York, my boy" continued the
veteran, New York was-New York,
If you had lived in that time you
would have understood what that
meant. Now hat people have stopped
initiating sheep and moths, it is hard

to explain. New York was a sort OF
hpynotic-magnet that mesmerized all
the young people and lots Of the old
ones in this country and put into their
heads the delusion that they had to
go to New York to live Can o i'm
agine such a thing, Charley? Thou
sands and millions Of people laboring
under the delusion that they had to
live in one certain place to be happy
and that place New York ethyl"
81 give it up" said the superintend-
ent. What was the matter with
them?"
They were afflicted with the New
York bug" replied MacManus. The
place had them ~hypnotized, as say, no
matter how far away they might live.
1t didn't make n difference who or
what or why they were, at some time
or other the bug was sure to strike
them, and they began to o up time
tables to Manhattan island. Milliners,
artists and anarchists, writer's or
waitresse>, they were all alike. 1t was
New York or bust with them all. The
fact that the place already was packed
tighter than a dynamo made no differ
ence. Always room for one more
they said. There was, too, if they had
the price, but the room was apt to be
at the n of a hall, and 6 by 8 in
size.
Did that discourage them, you ask?
/. did not. You see, after anybody had
lived in New York over two weeks in
those days they developed what vas
known among our forefathers as the
New York point of view. 1t was a
strange thing, that point of view. 1t
made a man talk of his little cubby-
hole on the fifth floor of a tenement as
my apartments 1t made him put up
a front, as near to a ~millionaire's as
he could initiate, and he'd live on pork
and beans. In other words, the New
York point of view was calculated to
make everybody and everything look
like money, and that was all anybody
ever looked for there st that time.
"A young mar would come from the
hinterland to New York and get a job.
and for the first few weeks he'd go
along his way as a young man should

There was a place called Coney

p~erintendent.
Yes. Coney island was the most
crowded spot on the globe in summer
time. On a Sunday 1t was packed

scene was to get out Of one crowd into
a bigger one. When he was jammed

time for obvious reasons"
The people coming into New York
from the rest of the country must
have felt strangely out of place.

They did," said the captain, "if
they came from the United States.
The visitor from Kalamazoo would try
to get chummy with his neighbor IN

Muncie Ind, the day before. But
suppose you came from London-Oh!
deah chap, then you were at home, re-
ally. New York always felt ashamed
of the fact that it was located SO nea1
to America. English styles used to
come out there before they did In
London. When the president of the
United States paid the town a visit
they sent a traffic policeman to the
depot to see that his taxi-cab didn't

time they enjoyed themselves then
was when they stepped up and regis

the time they were wishing they were
back in the crowd"
The superintendent stared musingly
down into the silent space below.
There must have been something
about the town, after all, to make such
a strong attraction said he.
