Curb Brokers Now Operate.
The curb brokers of New York, who
now operate on Broad street, would
have been forced to conduct their busi-
ness from gondolas or canalboats had
they made use of that thoroughfare In
early days, for where solid pavement
now stands there was wide canal.
Many people, nowadays, wandering
through the narrow streets of lower
Manhattan, have wondered: at Broad
streets unusual width. Still more Pc
culiar was such breadth Of thorough
fare in the olden times, when streets
were nearly all narrow, and to dis
tinguish it from the alley-like byways
that surrounded it the thoroughfare
was referred to as "the broad street"
The Dutch called it the "Heere Graft"
(The latter word had far different
meaning in those days.) 1t was not at
first street, but the principal canal
of the city. This canal, wide enough
for heavy boats to pass each other,
ran into Broad street at the southern
end and continued north almost to
Wall street A similar but smaller ca
nal ran through Beaver street.
Peter Stuyvesant in 1857 had the
canals sides planked, and few dec

Thu "cork Convent"

A striking curiosity near Cintra, Por-
tugal, is an ancient convent built par
TALLY in the interior of an immense
rock. The convent Is situated in a
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by dense wood Of cork
trees. The convent is known as the
Convento da Cortica, or Cork con-
vent" for the reason that the monks
cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are
all lined with cork to keep out the
damp. From 1860 to 1884 the convent
was inhabited by an order Of monks
known as the Capuchins, remark
able feature of their discipline being
that, except on certain occasions, 81
lence was obligatory. Since 1884, when
the monasteries and converts of Por-
tugal were dissolved, the convent has
not been occupied, though it Is open
to the public, a caretaker residing there
for this purpose.-Wide World.

certificates had become illegible

writer In the Journal. Of the Society Of
Chemical Industry.
As it was impracticable to test a sam.
pie Of ink by exposure Of writing for
q period Of years; it was considered
that a limited application of hydrogen
peroxide would be fhe.nearest chemical
equivalent to the bleaching effect of
the atmosphere. Writing done by diff
ferent inks was exposed to light, the
paper being occasionally moistened
with 3 per cent solution Of hydrogen
PEROXIDE the result being that the
handwriting gradually became invisi-
BILE, in some cases more quickly than In
others. The violet ink used for type

was quickly bleached by sulphurous
acid.
