HOW WALL STREETSHOLD IS GUARDED.

lisa Of the Pennsylvania East River tube?, that Joy

la n^t shared by t!i- workcin the "sand hozrs." whofor months have borrowed under the river bed in atremendous air pressure, th" "platers" following

close on tbtli heels and the concrete builders whoare to put the tubrs in share for the actual laying

of the tracks. For. despite tbe stories appearing

from time to time of death and disaster, due toworking in an extreme pressure of sctapressed sir,

the. hardy workman now toilingaway beneath the.East River will tell one, "It's not BO bad."

There is a charm about the daring task which

seems to hold in its grip those who undertake it.

Even the mulfs used to haul the toads of concrete.back and forth seen to enjoy the tunnel life. Liv-ing like the mules In coal mines, away from thelight of day. thougii they never get on the high

pressure side of the wicked looking airlocks, these

animals seem to gel as much pleasure out of thedangers of their humble task as a mule can get

out of anything.

And as for the high pressure workers themselves,

"Why. say." declared one the other d ty,''!'\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0• been

and that -when their wives have been takenfrom the bourgeoisie the union has been ac-cepted as merely of a morganatic character.And while one American girl.Ellse Hensler, ofBoston, now Countess Edla, has become themorganatic wife of a King—namely, ofthe lateDom Ferdinand of Portugal, and another.

Large Advance inHousehold and General Ex-penses Reported by Consul.

Consul Wilbur T. Gracey. of Tsing-Tau, China,n.akes the following report relative to the in-creaaed. cost of livingIn the Far Eatt:

"The <jost of living in China has increased con-siderably during the last few years, and the in-

\u25a0\u25a0]\u25a0::\u25a0 of provisions, rents and other cur-rent expenses is becoming a continual subject tornewspaper discos) '".•:

"Tea years ago it was possible to secure in Tien-T:-in 01 Shanghai a good and commodious residencetor i"ito $4«» gold a. month, and a luxurious build-rr.g for $>'A). but at the present time the minimumappears to be the latter figure, and houses whicht'-n years ago were renting tor £--*> now brine doublethat amount. A seven-room house in a row, with-out garden, rents for about >\u25a0". while a detachedhouse with even a .mail garden cannot be obtainedfor less than J7O

"In T.-iug-Tau rentals are somewhat higher,averaging $\u25a0<> ioi a seven or eight room house, andrunning to $i,> a month for un unpretentious villa,(with a small garden), containing probably ten ortwelve rooms. ,.

'.'Hong Kong rentals are about the same MShanghai, but vary considerably according to thesituation, those at the Peak (a mountain resortabove the city) commanding about SO per caMmore than bouses situated on the lower level.

"Ten years ago i! was possible to employ •x-cellent 'boys' at $;; ."i<i to $.'> gold \u25a0 month, cooksfrom $4 ati to 4»>. and general house coolies for}j."or \j Jinrikisha coolies could be secured forabout th" same price as house coolies, and wouldwork as indoor servants when they were not pull-ing the jinrikisha.

"In Terhg-Tau wages are still higher than inShanghai or other places in China, and are 100to 1' i per cent more than in other places in Shan-tung province.

SO to $.', gold a month, or possibly at thehighest $3. and procure their own- food.

"The price «>f all household commodities inShanghai, Hong Kong and Ti'n-TFtn has increasedIB to 40 per cent, and meats even higher. Whenthe price of silver rose, some two years ago, theprice of tinned goods was advanced, as was alsoIsm price of other commodities, but with thedecline of silver there is no compensating re-duction in the prices of articles of consumption.It is impossible for persons livingIn America torealize the great variation that Is possible in thebuying power of money where it is always on afluctuating basis. A person who six or eight yearsago received a salary of $3,000 a year, equal toabout $7,000 in local currency, now rinds that hisEMM only brings him about $5,500 local currency,

while the price of everything has Increased enor-mously."

following information concerning Bfatais andon the French coast:

h< Mar<-nn<s oyster i? considfreii th' most Ilar in France The orate* parks arc laid out

in the spue* between the island of Oleron, the isl-and of Aix and the mainland. Each ebb tide per-mits the waters of the Beudre to flow over the beds.The bivalves are brought to this locality in largenumbers from the breeding beds at Arch-son Herethey are deposited in the mud to fatten and totake on the peculiar coppery tint and taste, whichmakes the green oyster of Marennes popular InFrance. According to the statistics of 1907, ship-ments of oysters from one of the two railway sta-tions gave a total of 8,21*0 tons, which necessitatedthe use of 620 freight cars. The increase over 1906was more than one hundred and fifty tons.

"A number of fishes hitherto unknown in thesewaters, but well known on the Atlantic Coast ofthe United States, have recently appeared, union*the most numerous being the sheepshead and theblueftsh. The appearance of this new sea food hascaused considerable interest In the fishing industry.Up to the present time, however, Ihave only seenfish that are large and strong. The presence ofshad is also greatly appreciated, hut is due directlyto the fish culture In the streams emptying into theBay of Biscay. Shad br.-d in these waters appar-ently differ slightly In 'orm and color from theAmerican variety." \u0084 \u25a0'\u0084-.
