Asserson to places where they got higher pay and many of them to trades for which they had no certificates whatever all this to the prejudice of registered applicants entitled to be called: R. J. Short, M. Zuer, D. Little, T.

Laborers registering would generally give the names by which they are commonly known in order to make sure of getting notices.

The fact that so many in this department are working under assumed names raises a strong presumption of fraudulent use of notices sent out to other persons, or that false names were aesunied to escape some record In the navy yard, and If false names are used in so many instances there must be great carelessness somewhere. Indeed, it is scarcely possible that there could be many frauds of this character without tho connivance of the quartermen and leading men under whom these men worked. One of the cases Is that of James Meaney. He worked as a riveter In the department of construction and repair part of the time as Meaney and from January to August. 1S92.

under the name of Kirby. whoso name and privilege ho fraudulently used. James F. Dorsey. leadlngman ship fitter, February 8, 1804, certified that he had kpown James Meaney for two years, that ho was able bodied, of sober and industrious habits and that he had worked on the TJ.

S. Maine for ono year and was discharged for want of work. Leadlngman Shipfitter John D. Post signed a similar certificate for James Meaney, stating that he had known him for three years and that he. Meaney, had worked under him.

Post, for one year and was discharged for want of work. These certificates were correct, but they omitted the fact that Meaney had falsely represented himself as Matthew IClrby, worked under that name and was paid as Matthew Kirby within the period referred to by Post and Dorsey. It is true that Dorsey and Post state that they were unaware that Meaney was personating Kirby during the period named. Possibly this may be so. but it could not have been so ir they had been diligent In the performance of their duties, looking after the men under them not only at other times but on pay days when leadingmen and others were paid together.

An American gentleman found himself in a most embarrassing predicament upon attending a Japanese lady's at home. Japanese etiquette requires that boots' and shoes shall be left outside the salon. On his arrival this gentleman found a. hundred pair' of foot wear of various sorts in the anteroom. He chanced to have on a pair of flaming scarlet woolen socks; and, to his consternation, ono big toe persistently thrust itself through a gaping hole!

Tho corporation counsel has sent to Commissioner Bush an answer to the questions propounded by the latter on section 55 of tho building law, relating to the parts of lots that may bo covered by buildings. In sending this Frank C. Angell, assistant corporation counsel, says, in speaking of the Wanke case, over which the questions arose: "I think you have full authority to revoke this permit, as It was obtained, though innocently, upon a misstatement. Moreover, an apportionment of lots has nothing to do with the section of the building law. Exactly how the custom grew up I don't know, it certainly was not a logical one." The answer to the question referred to is as follows: Yours of June 24 duly received.

The following are answers to your questions In the order in which you have asked them, and It would, I think, be beneficial to the building department if one of the courts should construe this section of the law in a test case. Answering your question number one. I am of the opinion that the requirement that there shall be and remain a clear open space of ten feet between the rear end of the lot and any building thereon, relates only to a case where the building upon the lot is one continuous building. Tho first sentence of section 53 of the building law, as amended in 1895, states what 3pace is necessary In case of two buildings erected on a lot. Of course, if the ono story building is built adolnlng a tenement house so as to form in reality an extension to one continuous building, the requirement that there shall be ten feet clear in the rear and that only 70 per cent, of the lot can bo built upon must be observed.

The requirement of a space of 10 feet to 25 feet provides a means of ventilation in a case where there are two houses on the same lot absolutely detached one from the other. The requirement that only 70 per cent, of the lot can be built upon relates to a case where the building, whether built In separate portion or not, Is cne continuous building, I cannot see that a case should arise in which there would be any difficulty In deciding whether the 10 or 25 feet regulation or the 70 per cent, regu lation govern, ine one regulation applies to one class of cases, the other regulation applies to another class of cases. I am of the opinion that the requirement that 10 feet of space must be preserved between the rear end of the lot and a continuous tenement house building thereon, applies equally to corner lots and interior lots, and that you have no authority to waive this expressed provision of the law In any case. Any part of the lot not built upon must be deducted as part of ail open space of 30 per cent, to be allowed. I think, however, this meanB open spaces in the proper sense of the term and does net justify allowing a deduction for ventilation shafts within the walls, or a deduction for ground fenced in from the street, which is really not a part of the lot.

No allowance can be made for a court yard, which oeiongs to tne city and is not really a part of the street. This 1b not a of the lot. If tnere is a court yard which is the owner's actual and part of the lot and not a continuous portion of the street, ho must be allowed for it. under the present statute it seems to be immaterial where the 30 ner cent, of ooen space shall be located, so long as It is without tne Dounding limits of the foundation walls, except that 10 feet must be preserved on the rear of the lot The answer to the third question answers the fifth. I am of the opinion that in no case can a continuous tenement house building be built up to the rear line of a lot.

Ten feet must be preserved, if the lot is 100 feet deep, and it would seem from this section of the law that If the lot is more than 100 feet deep more than 10 feet must be preserved. While these answers seem to answer the questions, It would appear to be necessary to have a case decided by the courts to ascertain just what an owner may do with his property when he desires to erect another building upon a lot that Is already occupied by a structure. Ono question is not decided and that Is whether the open space that is left between the rear of the established building line and the front of the building can be taken into consideration in the 70 per cent, regulation. The books of the buildl that during the month of June there were 279 permits issued for the erection of houses, of which 117 were brick and 1G2 frame. The estimated cost of these structures is placed at $992,587.

nr 8th ar 1.750 Dr. Thomas Holmes Has MaJe a Great Embalming Discovery. THAT IS, HE THINKS HE HAS. A Revolution in the Art of Preservation Which Threatens to Throw Several Thousand Sculptors Out of a Job. Every Man (His Own Preserver True Theory of the Marble Heart No More Burials at Sea.

Dr. Thomas Holmes of South Ninth street and Marcy avenue has made a discovery. He claims that human: bodies can be petrified and that statues in future may be made tvithout the labor of the sculptor. Wrinkles, he. says, are the great obstacles to be overcome by science.

In connection with his discovery. Dr. Holmes calls the new petrifying scheme the antiseptic gas process of embalming. He has been at work on It for seven years and claims that he will give a practical demonstration of its application and show several tests at Bellovue hospital within two weeks. A forearm that was treated with the antiseptic gas by Dr.

Holmes two years ago stands on the mantel In his study under a glass bell. It would be taken at the first Rlance for a mar ble arm. It Is tho color of pure white marble. The fingers are twisted and the fleshy part of THE PETBOTED the arm Is furrowed with deep wrinkles. Al tnougn cierorinea in appearance, there is nothing about it to suggest that it was ever a piece of real flesh, responsive to the volition of a human being.

The observer would more naturally Imagine that the arm was a plaster cast taken from the body of some person deformed in that member. Antiseptic gas, it is claimed by the discov erer, may be manufactured as cheaply as any fluid now In use and may be more easilv aD plied. The gas will be held in cylinders, from wnich it will be conveyed to the arteries. The effect of the gas, as its name implies, will be to kill all the poiaonous matter by absorption. Danger from contagion, it is also claimed, need not be feared when the gas is used, for It will petrify all the germs the same as it does the flesh.

After the gas has been administered, the body will gradually solidify and turn as white as marble, even to the nails and the hair close to the skull. On ship board where embalmlne rjroeesHes often fall, the antiseptic method, It is claimed, will always prove successful. Ships supplied wiia me gas neea not resort to burial at sea. In speaking of the process to an Eagle reporter this morning. Dr.

Holmes said: "At Bellevue hospital I expect to show that bodies may be embalmed by a process superior to that of the old Egyptians or any since discovered. The arm which I embalmed with antiseptic gas two years ago is now as hard as stone and will remain so forever. The wrinkles and contorted appearance can easilv be remedied as I have discovered by more recent expetnmeniuj. A startling use to which Dr. Holmes nrn posos to put his new invention was explained by him as he continued.

"I shall organize a company with capital of $150,000," he said. "We shall manufacture the gas and supply glass caskets may bo illuminated with electric lights. I know several men and women who find comfort in viewing the faces of dead relatives at their vaults in our cemeteries. The features of their loved may be preserved so that they will have a lifelike appearance indefinitely, and with proper Illumination In a glass casket the wishes of such people may be gratified." Mrs. Holmes, who was present when the doctor announced his belief that bhere in a mand for illuminated caskets threw up her utuxus auu who a jrornneu expression exclaimed: "My, gracious, doctor! I never heard you go on so! As for me, I want to return to dust, as God intended I should." "Well, there are others who don't," replied the doctor, "and they should have It as they Ti 1 Dr.

Holmes continuing said that petrified busts and statues could be obtained from bodies, and to his mind it was a mmnrinr disposition of them than either burial or cremation. Mrs. Holmes again expressed her horror at the thought. Dr. Holmes has been in the embalming business more than forty years.

He discovered an embalming process before the war, and on the battlefields he embalmed 4,028 bodies of soldiers. About eight years ago he was called as an expert in the then famous Phelps caBe at Blnghamton, N. Y. to testify if a body, for which the embalmer was to receive $5,000, had beep properly embalmed. The suit of the embalmer to secure the payment of $2,000 due on bis bill resulted In the calling of Dr.

Holmes by the defense to testify. In the presence of the sheriff and contrary to the directions of the court Dr. Holmes managed to get one hand on tho corpse through a hole that had been broken Into the cement tomb. On his evidence, thus securedi the dofonso won the case. More recently Dr.

Holmos was arrested for keeping a body on his premises for more than two months. He had secured It at Bellevue hospital for scientific purposes and after an investigation was released from custody. The anatomical collection in Dr. Holmes' laboratory contains many subjects for nightmares. For a number of years Dr.

Holmes had an embalmed dog in a glass case In front of his drug store on Broadway, corner Marcy avenue. He has not yet tried his new process on a dog. The Pamirs. The term Pamirs, as applied to a particular region in Central Asia, was defined by tho Hon. George Curzon in a recent address bofore the Royal Geographical society.

It does not mean a vast tableland, as some supposo, ot "a series of bare and storm swept downs," as others have conceived, or a steppe; but, as is illustrated in tho region Itself, a mountainous valley of glacial formation, differing from the adjacent or other mountain valleys only in its superior altitude and in the greator degree to which its trough has been filled up by glacial detritus and alluvium. It thereby approximates in appearance to a plain. This appearnce is due to tho inability of the central stream to scour for Itself a central channel a fact attributable to the width of tho valleys and the consequent absence of glaciers on any scale, and to the short summers, which do not last long enough or receive sufficient solar heat to admit of a very powerful erosive Impetus being communicated to tho melting snows. Mr. Curzon estimates the extreme length and breadth of the Pamirs to be nearly equal and each about one hundred and fifty miles.

THE SEQUEL TO KSTAPP'S REPOBT. Uto Censure on tne Commandant's Conduct Intended or Implied Rules Violated in Many Departments. Total Misconstruction of the New Regulations Many Examples of Maladministration Cited. Here Is Secretary of the Navy Herbert's letter to the commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, relating to violations of the new regulations governing the employment of labor at the yard, sent to Brooklyn this morning: Waplilngton, D. C.

July 8, 1S95. To Commodore Montgomery Sica.rO. Navy Yard, Nevr York: 61r Referring to the report of Lieutenant J. J. ICnapp, 17.

S. concerning the matter In which the regulations jrovernlng the employment of la tor at the navy yards have boon carried' Into efTect. and the replies of tlic various heads of departments In explanation of tho numerous infractions that were reported, tho department, after very careful consideration of the stutements and explanations mad, regretfully concludes that In Quite a number of Instances it has not had that hearty and zeainuu rto opi r.it Ion In the enforcement of the labor regulation? it had a right to expect from naval officers at the New York na Vard. I take pleasure in saying here, however, lest the generality of the expressions used In this communication should be misunderstood, tnat no censure upon your conduct Is anywhere Intended or to bo Implied. The rules were Intended to make merit tho sole test for employment and continuance in employ at navy 3 ards, and especial care was taken to exclude all opportunities for favoritism on the part of any person, and particularly on tho part of leading men.

foremen or heads of departments at the yards. Lists of trades were provided In which men could be employed. Lists were made out for each yard suitable to ita wants, and these lists it was provided could be added to upon application to tho department. A board of registration was formed and rules made to govern its proceedings. Methods by which labor was to be obtained In any deartment or in any branch of a yard were carefully and clearly mapped out, and bo also were the rules by which laborers were to be re rated, dropped or diprharped.

It was well known at tho department that labor at the yards was not fairly divided between political parties, and this war, a serious objection to a continuance of the system, but It was hoped that by the natural mutations which would occur under a fair administration of the rules this objection would gradually disappear. It certainly was very de eirabl that favoritism should not bo permitted to effect retention or promotion contrary to tho spirit and letter of the rules. At moat of the yards there has been no difficulty, but bo many were the complaints comtmj up from tho New York yard that the department, to ascertain the true condition of affairs, was compelled to tend en olllcer there, who was many weeks investigating1 the complaints and irregularities. Tho report shows numerous Infractions. Without undertaking to enumerate In detail each particular case, they are classified under the following general heads: BOARD OF LABOR EMPLOYMENT.

(1) Kept no records of meetings and did not take formal action in cases which they ard re quired to consider. (2) Added trades to yard schedule with the approval of the secretary of the navy. (3) Registered applicants who were not phyelo Jly qualified. (4) Applicants who refused work not dropped from the register. (5) Applicants rejected as unsuitable on generaJ requisitions not excluded from registration for one year, but allowed to retain their numbers.

(6) Gave preference of "navy yard experience." to applicants who did not present the evidence required and to applicants discharged for cause. (7) In certification for employment passed over names of men registered. (S) Continued on the register as eligible for certification" persons discharged for cause. (0) Paired to drop from the register the names of applicants who had been on the register one year. HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS.

(1) Employed, men in trades not on the yard schedule. (2) Did not cause such tests to be made of the qualifications of certified applicants a3 would have enabled them to grade them provisionally and ascertain that they were suitable for tho work. 3) Employed applicants In trades other than those for which they were certified. 4) Transferred employes from one trade or occupation to another. 5) Did not require the quarrei men and leading men to report promptly to tho foreman Irregularities In attendance.

C) Did not require evidence of illness or other sufficient cause of employes' absence for six successive musters to be furnished direct to them. (7) Did not discharge employe? when there was want of work (lack of funds, but suspended them and thereby kept them contrary to regulations. (S) Employed men who were not certified by tho board of labor employment. (9) Retained In employment as laborers messengers whom the department had ordered discharged. (10) Rated and paid laborers as messengers without the department's approval.

In putting into operation a complete new system It was, of course, to be expected that those who were to administer It would make some mistakes and that now and then the department would be called upon to make rulings as well as amendments to rules. There Is and has been, however, nothing particularly dull cult in these rule. A careful and conscientious study of the system for a few hours would enable any competent officer to understand its outlines and a reasonable amount of attention to details paid to each sttrp as token in the administration of the system ought to be suflleient to guard against impcrtant errors. It is a remarkable fact that three years after the system was Inaugurated the board of labor employment at the New York yard and especially tho heads of departments of the two departments namod were found to bo penitently violating in many directions the rules they were ordered to enforce. The additional and more definite Instructions Issued November 1, 1654.

and the long and painstaking Investigation made by Lieutenant Knapp into the affaJrs of the yard consequent urm numerous complaints coming from the outside, would not. have been necessary If proper study of the original rules had been made by those who wore to administer thena. Ill no other, navy yurd has there been so inadequate a compliance with and so total a misconstruction of theb regulations as at Brooklyn, especially in the departments of yards and docks and construction and repair. Examples only of mal ad ministration need be cited. Tho respective heads of these departments have proceeded upon the Idea thut they could by one mean? or another continue men In employment as long as they wished by suspending tl.em Instead of discharging them and by transferring them from one trade, when there was no work to be done of that nature, to another trade.

The rules lying at the foundation of the system provMed that laborers wanted in any trade must cuine from the list of applicant as made up by the board of labor employment. These lists covered applicants for work in the different trades arid the schedule of trades, If neoJ be, could be extended by the department. These provisions, coupled with the uWer want of any rule authorizing a transfer of workmen in the yard from one trade to another, ought to have maVlc It plain to anyone tliat such transfers could not. be made. Again, when Chore was no work, mechanics and laborers, Insiead of being dropped, were suspended and subsequently taken on again without certification by the board of labor employment in direct violation of the spirit and Intent of the regulations.

Such administration as this has brought the department numerous complaints, to tlie effect that favoritism was bcln constantly practiced at tho New York navy yard and that the hope held out to laborers by the tils trail ion rolls wa a delusion and a sham. Investigation shown that tli unly answer the department can make to these complaints la that Its officials could not understand the rule.1. In explaining the reason for the transfer of J. Kostett from laborer to helper general. Civil Engineer Asserson states that he was governed In a measure by die request of the then chief of the bureau of yards and docks.

The chief of the bureau of ynrds and docks has his office at Washington. He Is not immediately concerned In administration of the rules governing labor yards and his letter making the request cited by Mr. Asserson shows that the latter was caution: not to infringe the rules. It says: "I do no: wan; any violation of the rules or i ajnounts to a reprehensible Ignorance of the rule to. cite such a request or any request whatever from whomsoever It might come as an excuse in part or in whole for their violation.

Officers mua; understand that the rules governing labor at navy Freak of a Canebrake. An unusual phenomenon Is reported, from various sections of the country, andr. one which perhaps many of our readors have never witnessed. Some two or three months ago It was noticed that tho cane In the dense brakes on the banks of various creeks had failed to put forth Its accustomed foliage and bad the appearance of having been killed by the cold. Soon, however, a flower like formation made Its appearance at the joints where the cane fodder should have been, which In due course developed Into seed heads, six or eight in a cluster at Intervals of a few Inches on the entire upper portion 'of the stalk.

Each grain or seed Is inclosed In a husk or shuck resembling oats or barley, but much larger. The vast quantities of this grain on the various creeks attract myriads of birds and stock of all kinds eat it ravenously. It is said to be an excellent fat producer and many farmers are gathering and feeding it to their stock. The Journal has questioned a number of the Oldest citizens regarding the matter and some of them say they have never witnessed a similar occurrence. Monroe, Journal.

A Queer Looking Ox. The appearance of the musk ox 1b so odd and striking that when once seen it is seldom forgotten. Tou see an oblong mass of tremendously long brown hair, 4 feet high by 6 feet long, supported upon wide hoofs and very short, thick legB, almost hidden by the body hair. There is also a blunt and hairy muzzle, a pair of eyes, a pair of broad, flattened horns that part like a woman's hair and drop far downward before they curve upward and that Is all. The mass of hair is so thick that as the robe lies on tbe floor it is about as easy to walk over as a feather bed.

Over the loins you 'will find, if you look closely, a broad "saddld mark," of dirty white hair, shorter than the rest of the coat. Next to the body is a matted mass of very fine and soft hair, like clean wool, so dense that to snow and fog it is quite Impenetrable. Over this lies a thick coat of very long, straight hair, over twelve inches in length and sometimes twenty, like the grass raincoat of a Japanese soldier. Sometimes It actually touches the snow as the animal walks. St.

"Will you be my wife, Ethel?" he asked. She turned slightly from him and replied softly: "I dislike to give you pain, Alfred, but" "Don't say "No," he pleaded. "Take time to think! Look at the matter calmly, dispassionately. You are a new woman" "Yes," she admitted. "Then you must be practical," he urged.

"Look at It from that standpoint. I appeal to your reason." "As a new woman I am in duty hound to consider such an appeal as that. I am bound to look at your proposition In a calm, businesslike way. Please state your case." She was a cold, calculating woman of business now. "I will," he said In desperation.

"Recall, if you will, the stories that have been published of the discovery of new diseases, each with a name more horrible than the one preceding it." She became perceptibly paler. "Think," he went on, "of the dangers that constantly beset poor suffering humanity. Remember that new dlsoasos are discovered cn an average of about three times a week now. "With so many floating around, how can anyone hope to escape? Dally, hourly, the researches of the scientists and physicians are increasing our dangers." "I must admit It," she said, with an effort. "Then think of the cost ot keeping in health," he persisted.

"Can you hope to get a husband wealthy enough to pay the doctor's bills for a family in view of these conditions, which are constantly growing worse?" "I fear not," she replied sadly. "But how does this" "I am a physlclan myself," he interrupted. The next moment she was clasped in his arms. "Take mo," she said In her simple new womanly way. "You appeal to my business Judgment."

Curiosity of Youth. A good story concerning James Russell Lowell has just been told for the first time. Professor Royce of Harvard college has a son, Theodore, who has all the hall marks of genius. Theodore is not yet old enough to have made known whether ho will bo a genius or not, but the peculiarities of that tribe arc his. One day the boy, who was then about 8 years old, was watering the lawn in front of hie father's house in Cambridge Just as James.

Russell Lowell happened to pass by on his way to Professor Norton's, a little further along. The hoy tunrod tho hose on Mr. Lowell and despite his expostulations drenched him from bond to foot, so that he Diamond, stating that th latter was of sober and Industrious habits when the records of the office show that he was discharged Januarv 30. 1893, with the approval of the secretary of the navy, as a quarter man Bhlpfltter, for being In toxicated while on duty, using abusive language to his superior officer and permitting his men to leave work bofore time. James F.

Dorsey, a leadlngman shipfitter under Looker, signed a similar certificate. These certificates were signed in their official capacity and were made for the purpose of convincing the labor board that Diamond had been employed In the navy yard and that the character of his conduct and service were satisfactory It is true that the board to which these certificates were sent had the right, notwithstanding the circumstances of the discharge of Diamond, to register him If he was in their opinion eligible, but they havo the circumstances all before them. WlIHam H. Todd was master shipfitter (outside). Four fifths of all the men who have worked un der assumed names were in the ehlpfittlng gang, Inside or outside, and no single person was ever reported for such ofTanee by any foreman.

William H. Todd, master shipfitter outside); Munson W. Looker, master shipfitter (inside); John D. Post, leadlngman shipfitter. and James F.

Dorsey, leadlngman shipfitter, are hersby reduced to shipfitter, first class. Todd will not for three months and Looker, Post and Dorsey will not for twelve months be eligible for promotion. The board which investigated certain irregularities in the plumbing branch of the department of construction and repair reported as follows: "While there la no direct evidence to show that Foreman Plumber James A. Flood has permitted men to be mustered in while such men were actually out of the navy yard, yet It Is the opinion of the board that James Kelly. James Malloy and Thomas Buchanan were absent from their work and from the navy yard on the forenoon of May 27, 1895, and that Mr.

Flood knew of their absence and took measures to prevent their absence from being detected. "The board Is of the opinion that John Kane and Seaman Wilkes are not competent to perform the duties of a first class plumber and a first class tinsmith respectively, although they are borne on the pay roll3 In these rates.

Commandant Navy Yard, New York. Proud of His Plaid. Professor Blackle frequently stayed at my bouse when lecturing In He was always at his best when one had him alone. One night when we were sitting up together he said in his brusque way: "Whatever other faults I have I am free from vanity." An in smile on my face roused him. "You don't believe that; give me an instance." Being thus challenged I said: "Why Jo you walk about flourishing a plaid continually?" "I'll give you the history of that, sir.

When I was a poor man, and when my v. lfe and I had our difficulties, she one day drew my attention to the threadbare character of my surtout and askod me to order a new cue. I told her I could not afford It Just thon; when she went, like a noble woman, and put her vn plaid shawl on my shoulders, and I have worn a plaid ever since ia memory of her loving deed." Good Words..
