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.
