R 'I''!,r'''"il','ill NFW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The most diflitult census ever undertaken is now being carried on in Central Parka counting of the squirrels which live there. Compared to it the Intricacies of the counting of the hot mayoralty vote in this city pale into insignificance. However, the under taking in made necessary to deter mine whether the Central Park squir rels are becoming extinct. At one time these little animals, always a source of amusement to visitors, be came so numerous that it became ne cessary to thin them out with a shot gun. Of late, however, their num bers have been decreasing. The au tomobile is held accountable for at least four deaths a day since squir rels are being constantly run over. It is also stated that race suicide is becoming as common among these animals as it is among the fashion able residents around Central Park, chiefly because of the fact that the squirrel are so plentifully supplied with candy and peanuts that they lay up nothing for the winter. Whatever he cause, however, a doxen police men have been given the job of tak ing the squirrel census, compared to which putting talt on sparrows' tails is a simple feat. F.ach policeman is furnished with a pocketful of nuts and another pocketful of colored strings. With the former he is to en tice the squirrel so that he can tie one of the latter about his tail to avoid double counting. The men de tailed for this peculiar employment have had to put up with a great many gibes from their fellow-cops especial ly since it wa learned a a result of their labors that the squirrel pop ulation wai somewhere between 761 and 41,208, the two extreme figure turned in. Meanwhile juvenile New York is enjoying itself by watching policemen trying to tie piece of string to squirrels' tail. This city is apparently building mad, and as a result it has just set a new record not only for this city but for any territory of equal ue or! population in the world, to far as building construction is concerned. For the nine month just ended no lew than 9822 new building project have been recorded having an esti mated value of $107,096,077. In addi tion to this there are under considera tion plan not yet recorded involving the expenditure of $200,000,000 more, so that altogether more than $300, 000,000 is to be spent in th erection of new structures in the city. Ex pressed In other" terms this mean that for every man, woman and child in the greater city an average of $73 i to be spent for the erection of edifice in which they work or live. The list which goes to make up this enormous total represents under takings of almost every sort. In point of iixe the building projected for the Equitable Life and the new Grand Central Station head the list Each of these structures will cost $10,000,000. The new municipal build ing which is to cost $7,000,000 is a close third and then come the new office buildings which will occupy the sitt of the Fifth Avenue Hotel cost ing $4,000,000, the $10,000,000 Penn sylvania railroad, terminal, the new postofiice to cost $3,500,000, the $2, 000,000 New Theatre, and the new Borough Hall in Queen to cost $1, 000,000. These of course are only, a few in the long list. Indeed there are under way or contemplated six ty single building projects each of which will require $1,000,000 or more. A curious feature of this great activ ity is found in the fact that from Harlem to the Battery less man one hundred permit have been taken out for the erection of residence, ine apartment house in all its various forms is rapidly rendering the single dwelling a thing of the past in Man hattan. In his search for new ideas that will contribute to the imortance and incidentally to the Americanixation of the Far East, the Oriental is finding New York more and more useful as laboratory and is flocking here in nrreasmir numoers instead w iu London a formerly. The most cun ous instance of this desire to master American method ba just come to light through the discovery of the fact that a Japanese named Rinechi Uchida has been sent to this city to take a thorough course in the Ameri can system of running hotels. Mr. Uchida has been living at the Hotel Astor where he has been gaining ex perience in all branches from bell hopping and kitchen management to doing the glad hand act as clerk. It is even rumored that he has master ed the art of mixing a cocktail so that travelers from this country, in Japan in the near future will not on ly find an American hotel but also a real cocktail both of which are now sadly lacking in the Far East. An other rather surprising illustration of the manner in which even China is adopting the methods of this country is furnished recently in the announce ment of "extras" by both the Chinese papers printed in this city in connec tion with the death of the Chinese Empress. The "extras" containing the news did not, hoever, appear until eight days after her demise. The biggest mirror in the world has just arrived in New York in the course of its 7000 mile journey from France, where it was made, to the 1'acilic Coast where it will be used. It will not, however, erve a a me dium irt" which lovely woman may ob serve the manner in which rjer drcs hang or assure herself that her hat i placed at the proper angle. In-, stead it will be used In the study of, the atari, for this enormou piece of glass Is what i known as a stellar, mirror which when used in connec-j tion with a telescope reflects the en- i targed image of the heavenly bodies. The mirror, which is the largest ev er made, is one hundred inche or more than eight feet in diameter, it size being thus designated because of its spherical shape. Its weight is nearly 15,000 pound and the cost of its making was more than $60,000. Over three year were required for it manufacture and even now it i not finished, ince the polishing will be done at the observatory where it is to be used. After the completion of the work in France much difficul ty was experienced in finding a trans portation company willing to take the risk of carrying this gigantic sheet of glass across the Atlantic. As fi nally brought over it was surrounded by cotton rolls and pliable rubber isliions. From New York it will go to New Orleans by water and from there to California by rail. In spite of the general idea that New York is a wicked city full of snare and pitfalls for the unwary, the Bible continues to be widely read here. According to the reports of the Bible Society the last twelve months have seen the distribution of 87,398 Bibles and parts in this city and at Ellis Islandf the landing place of im migrants. Among these latter 912 Bi bles. 3343 New Testaments and 34,- 816 copies of the Gospels were dis tributed in the course of visits to 3283 vessels. The detailed figures of the total distribution reveal the fact that New York is not quite so much of a foreign city a has been thought, since the number printed in English far exceeded the number printed in any other language. Indeed, nearly half the total number of books and pamphlet distributed, or 42,458 cop ies in all, were printed in English. Next came those printed in Italian numbering 8907, or less than one quarter o the English print. Other nationalities received Bibles and parts printed in their own language in the following order: Polish 6864, Ger man 5641. Danish 4294, Swedish 3988, Yiddish 3007, Russian 2238, Bohe mian 2027. and Hungarian 1964. These figure give a air indication of the proportion of various oreign races in New York. m ilefsTii c ;,onso Eiiosi We have just received a ehoice shipment of the latest styles in soft hats, the very cream of this seasons pickings The Famous "C0rJQJER0ar, Hat recognized throughout the country as the best hat on the market for the money, in all shades, styles and colors, including the popular green olive drab and fawn.
