THE
FOR OCTOBER
The American readers of current literature are quick
to discover a "good thing." Every month the demand
for THE BOHEMIAN at the news stands in this city
has been growing. Why?
It radiates entertainment. A look into it will rout a
smile from the ambuscade of the gloomiest countenance
and will brighten a mind weary with following the
beaten paths of magazine literature.
For THE BOHEMIAN is "different" It is so
compounded of snappy, unusual short stories, enjoyable
humor, attractive portraits, anecdotes of persons of note,
with clever drawings, and sparkling, illustrated special
articles of the out-of-the-way kind, that the result is a
delightful and peerless entertainer.

only by pushing, tho thcatro and
rosldont districts slowly to tho north.
For Now York has nmplo length for
expansion In width.
For this lack tho utmost engineer
ing ingenuity Is constantly employed
to substltuto height.
Honco tho building of tho sky
scrnpers hns becomo prnctlcally n
sclonco of itself..
Two factors limit tho size of build
ing In Now York. Tho first Is tho
wind. If tho wind novor blow in
tho metropolis tho skyscrnpor build
er's tnBk would ho greatly simplified,
and he could pllo Btory on story to
hln heart's content. But tho wind
prossuro on a thirty-story building
Is something enormous.
Tho inodorn skyscrnpors Is built
to withstand a wind velocity of 12G
milos, nnd thoro Is practically no
chnnc-j of Now York getting n might
lor blow than that.
Tho second factor Is tho limit of
tho building's haso. With land In
tho financial district soiling as high
as $700 a squaro foot tho bnso of a
building la naturally not n hugo
thing, if tho skyscraper could have
an unlimited bnso It could lmvo an
uulimited holght.
Boforo over n Bpadoful of oarth h
'dug for a foundation tho skyscrnpor
must bo weighed. It Id weighed
with paper and pencil, and hundreds
of sheets aro covorod with figures.
Tho great girders and boanis, stone,
camont, dosks, human bolngs and
ovon nuts and rivets, aro carofully
figured in boforo tho building Is be
gun. Ono of tho newest skyscrapers
now In courso of construction, at
Cortlnndt streot and Broadway,
which will, for n tlmo nt least, bo
tho largest oillco building In tho
Philadelphia. This enormous weight
when complotcd 8(5,000 tons, an
amount equal to tho combined
weight of nil tho inhabitants of
Philadelphia. This onormotiH wolgrt
will bo plnccd on a plot of ground
hardly 25,000 squaro foot In area,
or about equal to ton ordlnnry city
dwelling Iiousos. Tho Dtool skoloton
o tho building has olghty-nlno logs,
of columns, which will boar Us whole
weight, and tho onginoors hnvo had
a most dollcato problem to soo that
larly. This led to the belief that at
some timo or other tho continont
had been connected with Europo by
a strip of lnnd, nnd that tho part
of North America now west of tho
Rockies eithor had been submerged
and Is comparatively now land, or
olso that it had been separated from
tho eastern part by a body of water.
Probably western North America did
not exist In remoto times.
It also Is known by tho same
means that South and North Amot
ion wero not Joined together until
tho middle of tho tertiary porlod,
many thousands of years ago, but
geologically speaking, recently. Wo
are suro that thoro wero other lnnd
mnssoa to tho cast and west, and
recont investigations hnvo shown
thnt Brazil and Africa wero con
nected by land long boforo North and
South America wero joined, nnd
tho connecting ridgo still exists far
boncath tho son.
This fact is demonstrated bv
spider and crab forms which nro
analogous in South America and
Africn, but which do not exist In
North America. Indeed, it Booms
that In remoto times Bouthwcst Af
rica was not joined to tho rest of
tho continont, but was part of n
land strip which connected Aus
tralia, Madagascar and South Amer
ica. Analogous animals forniB In
different parts of tho world hint
with some certainty nt n prohistorlc
connection.
A great scientist has nald that
tho forms of Ufa found in tho River
Jordnn nro so similar to thoso In
Africa that Kb Inhabitants should
bo included In every book on Afri
can zoology. Other scientists took
tho matter up for Investigation, and
havo arrived nt tho following con
clusion. Tho Rlvor Jordan flowed
Into tho Red sea, which then wns
land nnd n great rlvor baBln. A
great Abyssinian river flowed Into
tho samo basin and mingled its
waters with tho Jordan, with tho
result that many of its flshoB bo
enmo domesticated In tho Rivor Jor
dan, whoro they remain to this day.
After centuries tho great river
baBln sank boforo tho encroaching
ocean, and tho two rlvors woro sop
aratod forever. So I might go on
with many raoro illustrations. For
instance It seoniB highly probablo
that tho ponlnsula of India novor
was submerged, but thnt It waB nt
ono tlmo connoctcd with Africa.

I bollovo that tho oldest and most
pormanont forma of tho earth's sur-
fnco can bo ascertained by n study
of tho distribution of present forms
of animal llfo. By this means we
may reconstruct tho former globo
and arrive- nt a certain Idoa of what
it must havo been. Tho study of
fossil remains is not necessary. Far
be it from me to bolittlo tho achieve
ments obtained by this means, but
by our present methods wo may ar
rive at almost certain conclusions
without recourse to study of fossil
remains.
By this means wo havo proved
that Islands forraorly held to bo of
volcanic origin really aro tho ro-i
mains of old varnished continents.
If the continent of Africa now was
submerged to tho depth of 1000 feot
tho only remaining signs would be
a fow volcanic Islands, which wero
Its mountuln peaks, and which
would possess few forms of animal
life. Islands are not populated ac
cidentally. Wo may leave out of
account tho old theory that many
permanent animal distributions wero
tho result of accident.
Take, for instance, tho continent
of North America. Animal forms
found east of tho Rocky mountains
woro comparatively unknown on thte
western slopes until modern times.
But almost Identical forms aro
found In Europe Austria partlcu-,
