/ COLLIE RECOVERS THE CAT. Takes a Leng Journey to Find the Friend of His Youth. iI A family living in Vermont removed from rtteir long-time residence to another village, •ome forty miles away. They took with them a Socteh collie of unusual intelligence, but left behind the family cat. The collie and the cat had been warm friends for several and had fought each other's battles courage and impartiality. t After the family reached their new Khe collie was evidently lonesome. One ilng as the family was gathered about tlie I open fire seme remarks were marie about this ’•nd the man of the house, patting the collie ion the head, said: “I am sorry that we did iuot bring George with us. You miss your ©Id playmate, don’t you?” The next morning the collie had disappeared. Three days after- iward he came into the yard in a state of 'great enjoyment, indicated in the usual dog way, followed by George, the cat. Both sesm- 'ed somewhat excited, and the collie showed marks of battle. Each seemed greatly de lighted in the company of the other, and the old-time status quo was at once resumed. Out of curiosity, inquiry was made by the family, both at their old residence and along 1 the line of the main highway between the two iplaces, which developed the fact that the dog appeared at the old home, very deliberately iand very distinctly induced the cat to start ‘on. the journey with him and had protected (him en route, with a clash of arms for nearly ’•very mile.( Of course, the question arose as to the lan- iguage by which he told George his wants and ■what inducements were offered to^ go with ■him on !Times. »■»»» ♦»♦♦♦■♦» I Forty-Storey Hotel the hazardous journey.—New years with home even- York --------------------- The Fool in the Auto. speed laws are besoming commonStrict •nd their enforcement is rigidly demanded by public opinion.

Merritt, architect, is the head of , a $5,000,000 syndicate which pur poses erecting a hotel forty-two storeys high, between Sixth and. Seventh avenues and run ning through from.Thirty-second to Thirty- third street. Mr. Merritt, who was the architect of H. O’Neill & Co’s building, the Washington Apartments, the Mahler building, and other large structures in Manhattan, is already at work on the plans and specifications for the new hotel. He threatens that the structure will rear its head 500 feet in the air and em brace features, if Adama’s ideas are carried out, (never before attempted in the hotel world. The plan contemplates the construction of a hotel more than twice the size of the Chatsworth, which stands at the foot of West Seventy-.second street. Its room capacity will be one arid one-half times greater than that of the Ansonia, the largest apartment house in the world. It will have accommodation for 2,200 guests. There will be 500 hundred single rooms with baths. * . " ' . ' , ’ ' rom and bath, there will 'be a refrigerator, which will supply its own frigidity, after the fashion of cooling rooms in breweries. There will be faucets in all bedrooms, which will run ice water. Steam heat, electric light, and hot and cold water will be everywhere. The forty-second floor will comprise a din ing and a ball-room. A roof garden will be a feature in warm weather, It is proposed to give over the basement to a Turkish bath establishment, with a swiming pool 75 feet long and 25 feet wide. “I have not the slightest idea who is interested in the enterprise with Mr. Ad ams,” said Mr. Merritt yesterday afternon. “I have been employed by him in my pro fessional capacity for fifteen years, and he is the only man with whom I have had any dealings in this hotel undertaking. I un derstand that he has associates, but I have never heard their names. He owns 125 feet frontage on West Thirty-second stret, be tween Sixth and Seventh avenues, and be ginning 175 feet west of Seventh avenue, which runs through a Thirty-third street, a distance of 200 feet. I have been told that adjacent holdings have been bought, increas ing the frontage, but T have no definite ad vices upon this point." The property, which is to have the lofti est and most prodigious building in the world, if Adams carries out his ideas, has al ready earned a reputation as the site of the “House of All Nations.” Adams, when be bought the site, cancelled all existing leases, and the buildings which now occupy it are leased to laundrymen, wine dealers, and small merchants. “I do not know how much additional pro perty has been bought,” said Mr. Merritt. “I have been told that Mr, Adams’ holdings have been enlarged.” The architect -entertains not the slightest doubt as to the' practicability of a 42-storey building. Borings have indicated that the best of rock foundations can be had at a depth of 30 feet, and there can be no ques tion as to solidity. When a skyscraper is erected, however, an clement of expenditure and return enters in. There are structural problems to be overcome Which make a for tieth floor cost more than a fourth floor. I Mr. Merritt said that Mr. Adams was de sirous of erecting a hotel 50 stories high, but that he had discouraged such an under taking. So far as he is concerned, he be- Heves" that the nearer 40 storeys the hotel is built the more paying investment it will prove. “The reason for the hotel,” said Mr. Mer ritt, “is furnished by the Pennsylvania Rail road station. This station will be completed in approximately two years, and it is planned to finish the hotel for the accommodation of those who reach New York over the Penn sylvania system. “I am using all possible diligence in com peting the working plans. There are many angles of the problem involved, but it will not be more than 60 days before everything is worked out. “So far as I know, the Times building and the Park Row building are now the tall est in the world. The hotel unoni which I am engaged will be more than 125 feet high er, from cellar to turret, then either of them. Thero will be nothing like it on earth. Per sonally, I am npt in favor of a building so lofty, but Mr. Adams seems to have made up his mind that th” hotel must be more than 40 storeys in height. I will do my part.” The idea is to make the new hotel the half-way house between the Pennsylvania station, which will extend from Thirty-first to Thirty-fourth street, between Seventh and Tenth avenues, and the Grand Central Sta tion. Neither railroad is interested in the enterprise. Adams was not to be found yesterday. Business associates said he was thoroughly In earnest in his undertaking, and that he SIMPLE TEST FOR OILS.

Since his release from Sing Sing, where he received a sentence for oper ating the policy shops, which brought him millions, he has been a large purchaser of real estate. He invaded Wall Street disas trously, if rumor may be believed, and sees in the hotel proposition a chance to recoup such losses as he may have sustained, and to increase his wealth. The friends who spoke for Adams say he has not only commissioned Architect Mer rit to draw up the plans and specifications for the hotel building, but has, through his agents, begun negotiations for a manager, and gone into calculations as to the mam moth hotel’s fur.mishings.

In an interview Mr, Souvey said: “My wife and myself, have used Dodds Kidney Pills and have found them a big benefit to our health. We had La Grippe two winters and were exposed to much frost and cold. Our sleep was broken on account of urinary troubles and pain in the kidneys. We each took six boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and now enjoy good health.” Practical Method of Determining Value of Lubricants. Conducting the large, and in many cases, fancy prices paid for cylinder oils, it is remarkable that the practical consumer has not developed some con venient non-technical method for deter mining the relative value of the different oils offered for his work. A step in the right direction, however, is reported in the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, being the resiilt of investiga tions oi two English engineers. They claim that the gumming properties of a cylinder oil can readily be discovered by a simple test, consisting of the exposure of thin films of the oil to steady cur rents of hot air, ranging from 212 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It is asserted the oxidizing action of such air currents is similar to that produced by the action of steam in the engine cylinders. Rivals at Gunnery Practice. . (Boston Globe.) At the present time the vessels of the navy of the United States on duty in Asiatic wa ters enjoy the leadership in gunnery which they won in prepared trials. To-day the target practice of the North Atlantic fleet begins, and the sailors are determined to show, if they can, an even greater skill in markmanship than their rivals on the Aba- tic station, while at the same time each ves sel here will try to beat every other vessel in gunnery. This is a healthful rivalry, and it can not fail to have distinctly beneficial results. The gunners of the American navy to-day are second to none the world over, and eficient gunnery may be said to be the first esesntial of naval superiority.

A clergyman who had accepted an invita tion to officiate at Sunday services in a neighboring town, entrusted his new curate with the performance of his own duties. On returning home he asked his wife what she thought of the curate’s sermon. “It was the poorest one I ever heard,” she replied, promptly—“nothing in it at all.” Later in the day the clergyman, meeting his curate, asked him how he got on. “Oh, very well,” was the reply. “I didn’t have time to prepare anything, so I preach ed one of your unused sermons."

The Man With the Spade. (Chicago-Canadian-American.) The lot of the “Man with the Hoe* may be hard, but that of the man with the shovel has its alleviations. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was in Fort William, Ont., on Saturday last, and he turned the first sod of the Lake Superior sec tion of the Grand Trunk Pacific with a golden shovel. We should like to know the size of that sod, and whether he keeps his tool house locked up after his day’s work. Talk about the good times in Canada! Things must be fairly booming. If the Grand Trunk Pacific can furnish tools like that it will need two or three alien labor laws to keep Americans from rushing over to work on the line. sake How Tunnel Was Cooled. The boring of the Ox Bow tunnel in Idaho is one of the great engineering feats of the age. The Payette river at this point makes a loop and by putting a tunnel through 1,200 feet the river bed is left high and dry for two and a quar ter miles. It is the intention to mine the river bed for gold. Ordinarily the putting through of this tunnel would be a simple matter, but at 300 feet from the upper end and 250 feet from the low er hot water was struck. The heat at first was from 95 to 105 degrees, increas ing as the work progressed to 133 de grees at the hottest point. Different fans and blowers were experimented with to cool the air in the tunnel, but without success until William Flick, the superintendent of the work, thought of spraying the walls of the tunnel with water pumped from the river. Very simple pumping apparatus and common garden sprays were used with complete success. The tunnel is 28 feet wide and 9 feet high and the flow of hot water amounted to seventy-five miner’s inches. The cold water cooled the hot water and it was pumped out with coismon pumps. Two Views of It. A girl in Haddam went to a baseball game and surprised her escort by her knowledge of the game.

Warranted the most wonderful Whatever hindrance foot of snow would mink more than the is as slow a runner as the rabbit is swift. I have seen minks run several times and their peculiar, measuring-wo rm gait takes them along about as fast as a man can run. The rabbit cannot only go with incredible ispeed, but can course for hours. And yet the mink is able to run down the 4he swift rabbit. The rabbit seems to •give up the race; it would look almost as if some unknown law of nature made him the prey of minks, as if he felt •that was his destiny, and did not try Ito escape from it. In the cases we ob served, the jumps of the rabbit grew ushori^r and shorter until it became kittle more than a helpless hop. The imarks in the snow indicated that the hmink was not being dragged by the rab- ‘bit, but that the mink did not over take his victim until the latter, for no .apparent reason, had given up the race. tAnd yet, a fox seldom catches a rabbit, land probably never in open running, i Then it would seem as if these blood suckers have some power of which we (know nothing. As it is only one ex planation can be offered why so slow- running an animal as a mink, or weasel, can catch as swift an animal as a rabbit. We know the mink does not tire out the rabbit by following him leisurely, maintaining his slower gait relentlessly, never giving his victim a chance to eat, and so by the slow sure process of work and worry wearing out poor Bunny. 1 I --------------: Child Marriages in India. | !

This time is rapidly approaching when the excuse can no longer be offered that American cities are new and lacking in the essentials of good streets, fire protec tion, etc. Some American cities are far too old, too rich, and too well equipped with all essentials to have any excuse left for their sordid disregard of beauty. That they have begun to draft plans for comprehensive beautification is a sign that civic pride is not wholly wanting. The people are beginning to realize that their cities are here to stay, and that the utility of beatuy should not be neg- lecetd. When they are finally convinced that judicious beautification is profit able, in dollars and cents, which is the lesson taught by the French, they will speedily transform their ugly municipal ities.

And yet the armies and navies of the world are increasing yearly, and more money is re quired to pay for their keeping.
