(Continued from rajfs 8) lngi ever erccleJ-Hfor the crowding of the tweritiuth century which cause neatly ft nullum people in New York alouo to live in flat or apartments, linn at last produced the factory flat in wh it'll space can be rented, large . or small, a rimy bo dowireil. In these modem bunine flat there is no longer any worry for the tenant as to pow er and light, engineer' or flrcmens' strike power, best, and light, are all fumUhcd from a central plant and all tho tenant has to do i to utilize tbein as his veei require, (As if his crowded plot were not el read, full enough, or needed further title to be called, the busiest spot on earth, there h within lis compass a complete railway system' tilth more than twenty miles of track on which merchandise is handled up and down, delivered or started away. Mors titan 230 carloads of freight are moved each day, and the connections thus afford! With all the railroads and steamship linos make possible In large measure the tremendous volume of activities centered at the terminal. For the indi vidual manufacturer, shipper or hand ler located there, there is no problem of trucking or teaming. Raw products from any part of the globo are landed at the door of his apartment factory and from his door are taken in the shape of finished product to any market he may wlu to reach. By this method is effected a saving In time estimated at more than 15 per cent. The sum of dollars that represents tho value of the merchandise that passes through this great terminal la a year far exceeds the figures of the national debt or the wholo federal reve nue. The quaint and curious, the rare and mysterious, the commonplace and the precious, telling tales of strange trades, strange people, and strange places, jostle each other ia their bales and boxes. To the Bush docks, store houses and factories come the out-pourings of every land tho kava-kava root (from the far eastern islands, from which is brewed the drink of their weird die tics which the islanders be Here produces madness when quaffed by mere mortals; bamboo sticks from China and India that come half way round the world from the jungles of the lion and the tiger to make fishing poles for schoolboys; the succulent sprouts of young bamboo, to be used in thop t(fyj the gall nut from China; human hair from Turkey, where human hair, like human life, aeemi to be abundant and chwip) the mix vomica of medicine from Ceylon; pumice from tl.e mediae vai Inland of Liparl where there is not a single horse; and gambir from India, used in making paint and dyes. On these docks are unloaded, too, arsenic from Germany, antimony from Japan and asphalt from Trinidad j jos sticks from China; gutta percha, for golf balls, from the Straits Settlements; paprika, plumbago amber and umber, precious woods, raisins, skins, silk, wool . As many as 120,000 bales of cotton, valued roughly at $8,000,000 may be found at the terminal in the height of the season. Of fibres for making twines and rope, 100,000 bales are frequently in storage at one time enough to pro duce a rope that would reach to the sun. It is not unusual for the 'ship ments of coffee to reach a million bags, while from Turkey alone nearly $2,000- 000 worth of the particular brand of tobacco grown there comes in much of it to go into the production of cigar ettes. ' Whether it be is the commerce hand led on its docks, and stored in its warehouses, th merchandise pro duced from these materials, its apart ment factories, or in a combination of ail three in a utilization of their advan tage and those of its shipping facilities, this quarter of & square mile easily surpasses any other spot of equal area in the world. There may, not be so many people coming and going as in Kipling's crowded thoroughfares, for every, foot here, in the struggle for cbeapnega and efficiency ia production, is given up to business ' business eon- ducted in thirty different languages. Cut so far as commerce and industry go, explorers need search no further for the busiest spot in the world. Square foot for square foot, on the basis both of goods handled and of economies achieved, the Bush Terminal on Brook lyn's waterfront has secured the pos session of that distinction for the States.
