In the summer home, away from musical entertainment, an Aeolian or a Pianola is rapidly coming to be considered a necessity.

In many out of town residences the introduction of one instrument has led to the presence of them both. They are invaluable allies to the hostess, and an always available source of pleasure to the home circle. Symphonies, overtures, operas, or the latest rag time favorites may be summoned at will. Dance music is always accessible, for the instruments can be played by any one. The Pianola is bringing into use thousands of pianos which have been silent for many years.

It is increasing the repertoire of amateur and professional pianists by making the entire literature of the piano instantly available without study and without practice. The Pianola looks like a small cabinet. It has small felt covered fingers that rest on the keys of the piano and, operated by pneumatic power, strike the keys with a pliant, yielding, and remarkably sympathetic touch that is almost identical with that the human fingers.

Of course, the corps can offer no protection against the fire itself, except by removing any small and particularly valuable articles that may be in eight. To save property the members of the corps often take desperate chances. When they can be spared from their regular duty and there is need of firemen, they often help the regular department, holding hose or doing any other duty assigned to them. They are easily distinguished from the city fire fighters because all of the Salvage Corps wear red hats. During the year 1S99 the number of fires in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens was 1.803.

Of these, 1.089 were in the territory covered by the corps.

With a number of lines yet to hear from, reports gathered by the Railway Age show that not less than 1,654 miles of track have been laid during the first eix months of the present year, on 135 lines in forty one states and territories. For the entire year 1899 the new mileage added aggregated 4,588 miles, or nearly three and one half times the amount reported for the first six months.

Assuming a similar ratio for this year, it is apparent that our estimate of 5,000 miles for 1900, maJ over three months ago, wats a conservative one. The details of the work for the six months just closing are given in the following table: 1407.. ABOUT BROOKLYN PEOPLE. Mr. and Mrs.

Insurance and Salvage Corps people simply agree that it is enormous.

Not only do the insurance companies benefit by the efforts of the corps. The property of the uninsured is also protected for the reason that there is no time at a fire to find out who is and who is not insured.

Few families possess an heirloom that can compare either in rarity or antiquity with the warlock pear of Colstoun is, be i ypnd doubt, the most wonderful vegetable curiosity in existence, and its authenticity be yond dispute. Hugo, Lord de Giftord of Tester, the magician, lived in the reign of King Alexander III of Scotland. He presented himself before the King previous to the battle of Largo, 12G3, and is described by Sir Walter Scott In The Lord of the Isles." The wizard lord of Yester gave his daughter in marriage to a scion of r.ie ancient family of Hay, ancestor to the present Marquis of Tweeddale. As the bridal party was on Its way to the church the magician plucked a pear from a tree hard by and gave it to his daughter as her dowry, informing her that so long as she and her descendants preserved it so long 'should they prosper. The pear was in consequence carefully preserved as the precious palladium of the family, whose fortunes during the next 300 years rapidly advanced, John Hay, in 147S, being raised to th peerage of Scotland as Baron Hay of Yester.

He was succeeded by his son, John, second baron, who was succeeded by his son, John, third baron, whose daughter, Jean, was marJ, ried to George Broun, laird of Colstoun, In) 1G04. I The warlock pear which again played the part of the dowry, thus passed to her de scendants, the Brouns of Colstoun, who derived their pedigree from the ancient Kings of France, an origin alluded to by their armorial bearings gules three fleurs de Us, or. In l'JSO Patrick Broun of Colstoun was created a baronet of Nova Scotia, and was succeeded by his son, George, second baronet of Colstoun, in whose time the pear, hitherto carefully cherished and which to all appearance was as fresh as when plucked, began, in accordance with the warning of the enchanter, to exert its influence malignantly. Sir Georga was married to the Lady Elizabeth Mackenzie, daughter of George, first Earl of Cromartie (the famous Viscount Tarbat of Queen Anne's reign), whose armorial bearing was azure, a hart's head cabossed or, and she, not content with merely beholding the pear, longed taste it, and, as in the case ot a remote an cestress, the temptation was too strong to bo resisted. Authorities differ as to whether tha Lady Elizabeth really bit the pear or merely dreamed she did.

Debrett, ini his states that she dreamed sho bit it, but the late Sir Richard Broun, author of an elaborate MS. history of tha bouse of Colstoun, says distinctly that she bit' it, and it is certain that there are marks of teeth in the pear, which is now as hard aa stone. Whether the bite was real or lmag inary the fact remains that almost imnie diately the family fortunes began to wane. Sir George Broun was soon afterward drowjied in the Tyne (1718) and the Lady Elizabeth only escaped by her clothes bearing her up in the water. Sir George died without heirs male, and the tttle, which was to heirs male general, became dormant, and, though subsequently assumed by a collateral branch, again became dormant in 1776, and so remained for more than fifty years, until, after proceedings very interesting, a young cadet of a distinct branch proved his father to be entitled to tho baronetcy and was accordingly declared heir.

The entire estates had passed away, and, together with the magic comae, became the property of the family of Ramsey, Earl of Dalhousle, whose predecessor had married the niece or the unfortunate Sir George Broun above mentioned. In a silver box, with a strong casket, sat under locks and bolts, the magic comae now reposes, in the custody of Lord Dalhousle. dnd one can readily understand how highly the relic is prized and how Jealously preserved by the present possessor Chicago Dally News. i tions, underwriters, doing business in what was then the City of Brooklyn, met on June 28, organized the Fire Insurance Salvage Corps and elected officers and directors for one year. It was decided to equip not more than two stations and the first was located at 172 Pacific street, in the Western District, the territory covered including that portion of the city bounded by Hudson, Flat bush and Fifth avenues, Ninth street and the water front.

John J. Cashman, a sergeant in the New York Fire Patrol, was appointed captain and James L. Burnett, a fire patrolman across the river, was made lieutennnt. The company went into service in its thoroughly equipped house on Pacific street, at A. on December 16, 1S95.

From the start the corps was found to be a paying investment. At some fires the value of the property saved wa i in excess of the amount required for the support of the corps for months. 3o effective was the work dons by Captain Cashman and his men in the western section of the town that the insurance men decided to organize a company in the Eastern District. A building at ''A Stagg street was leased for a term of yeara and another fully equipped company established there. The territory now covered embraces all that portion of the borough bounded by DeKalb avenue, Washington avenue, Eastern parkway, Ninth avenue or Prospect Park West, as it is known: Ninth street, Gowanus Canal.

N'ew York Hay, Newtown Creek and the borough line to DeKalb avenue. Attached to each station are a captain, lieutenant and sergeant, thirteen permanent and eix auxiliary patrolmen, and in each house are two double wagons, one single wagon and five horses. The equipment al. Includes in each 350 stock covers, 2Ti roof covers, a cover hoist, to raise covers to the upper stories or roof of a building, and a five and one half inch hand pump on wheelu. Each wagon as it rolls from its station carries, in addition to its crew of men, twenty covers, two Babcock extinguishers, two axes, a lock breaker, a patent door opener, a crowbar, seventy five feet of inch rope, two rubber buckets, an iron ladder, a fire hook, two cover poles, three shovels, six brooms, half a dozen lanterns, a box of sprinkler heads, a pair of rubber gloves, two scaling ladders, two life belts, a jumping net, six cotton hooks, an extra whiffietree and a pair of wooden scoops.

At many fires the corps wagons arrive al most as soon as the firemen, so it is possible Total 41 states and territories 135 1,054.07 The states showing no additions thus far this year are New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Nevada and Utah, and in the majority of these no new mileage is anticipated, two exceptions being New Hampshire and Utah, where some work is in progress. Texas, where legislation has retarded railway extension for so many years, stands first in the list of states with 104 miles of new road to her credit. Before the close of the year these figures will be materially Increased, as at the present time work is in progress on over 300 miles of additional line In that state, much of which will be completed before January 1 next. This revival in railway building In Texas Is due chiefly to the more liberal attitude of the Legislature toward the railways In permitting parent companies to absorb lines already owned, thus doing away with the expense of maintaining separate organizations. The second state in the matter of new mileage added this year is Iowa, where 572 miles of road were built In 1899, and where miles have been completed since January 1.

In this state also nearly 300 miles of now line, in addition to that already completed, are under contract, but not all of it will bo finished this year. Mississippi has built 104 miles on 8 lines. Oklahoma has already added 91 miles this year and will soon pass the 100 milo mark. South Carolina has built 79 miles, California 75 miles and Minnesota 72 miles and large additions will be made in each of these states. A geographical study of the tabic indicates that there has boen comparatively little building in the states located east of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio River, while the states west of the Mississippi have built 917 miles of new line and the stateB south of the Ohio and east ot the Mississippi 447 miles, making a total of 1,364 miles.

Comparison with previous years makes the outlook for 1900 seem tho more encouraging.
