To Help Rapid Transit.

The blasting off of a 15-foot layer
OF rock from the top Of Coenties reef
in East river, New York, just east of
the lower end Of Manhattan, and, at
the same time, the boring of two tun-
nels under this reef, constitute a dual
engineering undertaking now in prog
ress that is calling for unusual precau-
tons and sSillful procedure, says Popu-
lar, Mechanics Magazine. The tunnel
will serve as a new rapid-transit link
between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The
cost of cutting down the reef is being
borne by the federal government and
New York city. At mean, low tide the
reef has been 25 feet below the sur
face, a distance that is not regarded
as safe for ONE heavily laden boats.

every night that show plays in New

wherever 1t happens to be, they put
on the stage a real restaurant, with
coffee machines and gas griddles, and
they broil right there in front of the

fifteen dollars, because Mr.. BelascO is
very artistic that way. If he puts on
a restaurant, it's put on right; it don't
make no difference what 1t costs; but
you take a moving picture Teller, and
if he has got a fillum with a restaurant
in it, all he does is to go to a restau-
rant and ask the Teller that runs it he

That's the difference between Mr..
Belasco and moving picture fellers.
What do they care about being arts

keep the expenses down."
"That's where you make a big mis-
take" Zapp declared. Moving pic
ture fellers is eaten up with expenses.
For instance, the wages which NOV
ing picture fellers pays to their actors
is something terrible. Five hundred a
week is small already"
"Well, why not?" Birsky retorted.
Look what a moving picture actor is
got to do to earn his money. We will
say, for example, that he goes to work
at nine o'clock. At half past nine he
goes up to Central park and falls out
of a oitermobile running thirty miles
an hour. The first time he falls out,
maybe, the Teller that works the cam

nine to lunch time. Supposing he does
get five hundred dollars a week. Is
that a life? I ask you."
"Just the same, it's a lot of money to
pay" Zapp said, "and furthermore all
the moving picture actors gets con-

"But what is such contracts WORTH"

Bifsky said. Believe me, Zapp, the

essary in the moving picture business
is experience-in particular the actors

Why Wood RIOTS.

Many plans have been devised to
keep wood from rotting, and the best
means has been found to be the use
of some solution on the wood to be
protected that worms and microbes can
not digest. These pests attack wood
by the millions and soon eat away so
much of the substance that the log or
timber is "rotten" and falling to
pieces. Creosote is a common proven
tive, and salt water also tends to ward
off the insect army.
