North Corona Calls It a Cesspool and a Nuisance. A great deal of annoyance Is caused the residents who live In the vicinity ol a pool of stagnant water familiarly known in former days as Backus Pond, situated north of Smith avenue, near Randall avenue, North Corona. Many years ago Backus Pond and the adjoining property which has since passed Into the possession of other parties was a pretty spot and a joy to the eye of the lovers of nature. The pond was then a clear sheet of water, while the surrounding ground abounded with variouB wild flowers. All has changed now since the neighborhood has grown up, houses being all about.

To-day the pond is characterized as a cesspool and a breeding place for mosquitoes. It Is also stated that the place is a favorite spot for the dumping of garbage, which makes the situation even more dangerous to the health of the people living in the immediate vicinity. A committee of members of the Nortii Corona Property Owners Association are now making an endeavor to have the conditions remedied. ALFRED FITZROY SAILS.

He will visit Oldham, In Lancashire, his native town, and make an extensive tour through England and Scotland, visiting the chief points of interest, especially the Lake Country.

He will return In October, and his many friends hope that he will be completely restored to health by his rest and sea voyage. ST. MICHAEL'S OUTING. The Men's League of St. Michael's Church, Forty-second street and Fourth avenue, will hold an outing to-morrow at Dreamland.

And nowhere are lives held so lightly as in the smaller cltleB of Pennsylvania. Measured by the deaths by violence, human life is cheapest In Butler, where the annual pate Is 379.4 per 100,000 population. Plttston, in the same state, stands second with a rate of 359.6. Iron Mountain, Is third in rank with a rate of 290.7; then come Mc-Keesport, 290.1; Shenandoah, 278.9; Pottsville, 276..

Pueblo, is seventh in the list with a rate of 269.3. Altogether there are more than a score of small cities, halt of them In Pennsylvania, the rest in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Maryland in which the death rate by violence exceeds the highest rate In any large city. This highest rate for a large city, 190.9 per 100,000, Is found In Pittsburg. It to this be added the death rate from typhoid fever and other preventable diseases, Pittsburg may be eemed fairly entitled to Buch glory as may attach to the fact that human life is held cheaper within Its boundaries than In any other civilized community. The total number of deaths by violence In 1906 and the rate per 100,000 inhabitants from that cause In seventeen of the larger cities are set forth In the following table: Total City.

Running Back After Passing Floor Few Inches Means Half Cent.

Even the elevator passengers and the operator can throw away money tor me owner of a build.ng. Not counting the wear and tear on the machinery, caoles. and other equ.pment, the expense of running a car back to a floor which It has passed a few inches has a noticeable effect on the monthly cost sheet. When an electric elevator starts up or down, empty or loaded, the first four seconds after throwing the. lever cost much money as traversing three floors after full speed is attained.

Reducing this to figures for a large-size passenger elevator, it is safe to say that it costs bait a cent to start it. Take a twelve story building with five elevators. Assume that In each trip, both up and down, two errors were made, partly owing to the passengers and partly the operator. Thus tor every round trip ot each elevator there will be four errors ms.de In bringing the car to the proper level. Assuming these to cost a half cent each, there will be a loss of cents In the time required for all the elevators to make one round trip.

In an office building with five elevators running continuously for eight hours at 20 round trips an hour, or 160 round trips day each, the added expense would be 16 a day. Thus, In a building where traffic is heavy all day, as In those of the financial district, where messengers are con-tinally going in and out of the buildings, and the cars are large, it can be seen that this Item is to be seriously considered. With 300 working days per year, this loss, counting wear and tear, could easily amount to $4,000 If electricity were paid for at 10 cents per kilowatt hour. The more rapid depreciation of the controller, magnets, contacts, motors, cables and power transmission, such the Bteel worm and the bronze gear wheel, are all Items which It would be difficult to measure accurately.
