Economical Handling of Salt.

The salt harvested in the Saline
valley of California is now transported
to Swansea. the nearest shipping
point, rs miles away. by means OF an
overhead tramway, which was recent
ly completed at cost Of 100000. The
material Is conveyed In buckets, and
the hourly capacity Of the line is 20
tons. A very interesting feature OF the
line is the fact that the downpull OF
the buckets as they make descent
of the mountain is utilized In raising
the buckets over the next grade. Salt
has been mined there for years. but
the amount Of the product has been
limited TO the local consumption. as
the expense of getting the salt to the
shipping point by mule power has
been prohibitiva

Historic Vessel In Fishing Fleet.


The sailing of the schooner Thomas
F. ]. Hewlett from Philadelphia for
southern fishing grounds recalls the
history of the vessel. The schooner,
once the Carmita, was used with the
schooner wanderer during Civil war
times as a slave ship. She ran from
the West Indies to the United States
During one Of her slavecarrying
voyages, the Carmita was fired upon
and captured OF Charleston, s. c.. by
United States government vessel. A
short time afterward the Wanderer
met the same fate. Both vessels were
taken to Charleston and offered for
sale by the government. and the pres
ent owners bought the vessels.

To sum up, a million and quarter
Of souls, or more than one-third of the
tenement house population that was
STEPPED in the environment which
made for all unrighteousness, have
been housed decenely and safely. and
the rest will be. Have we, then,
solved, the housing problem in New
York?
No, we have not. We have not real
lied the ideal of the little house with
cheap rent, and we never shall real
lie it. Instead, rents have risen, and
are rising yet. We have not less
crowding, but more. We know now
that the cliff dweller in New York has
come to stay, at least in the old city.
The problem now is how to bar the
cliff dweller from crossing the bridges
into the New York of the future
Since the point of saturation was
reached in the crowded region south
of Fourteenth street and the exodus
thence began, the tenement builder
has been busy in the boroughs. 1t is
easy to foresee that the time may
come when the conditions of Manhat-
tan will be reproduced in the newer
regions, without the defense of Man
haitian that it is pent between two
rivers. How to prevent this is the
nightmare of social reformers of con-
gestion committees. Like men fight
ing a fire we must get in front offit.
A stern chase is vain chase in deal
ing with this trouble. Can we hold our
ground there?
The answer applies to every grow
ing city: We can, if we begin at the
beginning City-plannipg is New
York's remedy.-Jacob A. Riis in the

But it would be idle to deny that the

Vacant lot gardens In the large cities

FIVE dollars a garden for blowing, fer

second season, and SO on, until the

A suggestion regarding wages, made
In the Civic Federation's report on
working conditions in department
stores, is of special interest 1t is that
employers pay the fare of employees
living in the suburbs. This is done to
some extent in England
The plan is essentially one for rails
ing the standard OF living among It's
benefciaries. But it is more than
this. 1t is a subsidy for efficiency, IL
you care to put it that way. What the
employer spent for this purpose he
and his customers would receive
again In the form of better service,
even without any reduction In hours.
In addition, the report points out that
q better class of employees could be OBJ
tanned, since they could be found
among persons already living in the
outskirts of the city. But all other
considerations yield to the meaning of
such an arrangement for the lives Of
those concerned. One manager in
Philadelphia is reported as intending
to try the plan.

Bulgaria will never rest within the

ritory it obtains is very small and not
rich one Only Xanthi, Gumuldjina

The new land is a good tobacco

Love VS.. chanceIlors.

The ancients knew that love laughs
at locksmiths, but it was left for mod
ern times to prove that the little blind
god can outwit chancellors and kaisers
as well.
Prussia has spent more than her
financiers like to reckon trying to de-
nationalize those Poles who live under
the German flag. Land has been
bought by state money in Prussian
Poland and German colonists assisted
to settle thereon. 1t was hoped that
in this way Tentonic influence would
become paramount; but this is where
Cupid upset calculations of Bismarck
and his successors.
Among German colonists settled in
Prussian Poland there Is a consider
able excess of men. Among the Poles,
owing to emigration to America, there
is a small excess of women. Polish
girls are pretty and attractive. Ger
man settlers want wives. The stanch
Brandenburger, planted on a farm
in Posen at state expense, takes a
Polish wife-and all the efforts of his
government have gone for naught.
The children of this marriage are uni
formly raised as Poles, and usually
the nominal head of the house comes
to feel that Poland is an ill-used ma
ton, which has some right to com
plain.
