VISITORS TO new YORK.
They Crowd the Natives Off Broadway
and Into the Side Streets.

eH0y STO"O SV0 tNdeSVSS VII DSO~Nvv0y
and Into the Side Streets.
It has often been remarked by Wis
itors from Denver and other scientific
Investigators that New York's Broad
way is apparently patronized by peo-
pie from all over the world except the
native resident of New York. And it
is probably true that Seattle knows
its way about the Rialto at least
as well as does East Seventy-second
street, and the cabarets along the great
white way see more money from Des
Moines than from Amsterdam avenue.
The fact Of the matter is that the
out Of town visitor, descending upon
the metropolis trained to the minute,
with the express intention and deter
mination Of taking in Broadway, sue
ceeds largely in crowding the native
off the walk.
Hence 1t has come about that other
New York streets which never attain
more than a local fame have become
pleasure grounds for the real New
Yorker, who leaves the streets and the
restaurants of world reputation to the
hordes Of the invader. Such a street,
for instance, is One Hundred and

Twenty fifth street, often called by It's
frequenters the uptown Broadway"
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
lies in the apartment house section,
about in the middle Of the long, mar
row city that is modern New York.
From here to the Battery is a long
ride on the express trains, and from
here to the limits Of New York, up be-
You'd the Bronx, is a-songer ride by
local. The dweller in this section rare
~ takes either of these rides. He
goes down to the Office in the morning
and in the evening returns to his own
little side street. If he Graves amuse-
ment he strolls down One Hundred
and Twenty-ffth street.-New York

reply. "You see, there is often a pa

LARGO Power Easily Controlled.

In some cases 1000 ton or 1900 ton
press may be controlled by one finger
upon the clutch lever, so that the ram
will rise one-eighth of an inch or so
at a time. More often, however, a
press is set so that the ram will always
stop at the top Of its stroke, and the
control of this condition is usually
made by foot treadle, although some
times with a handle also or with a
