in THE BURLINGTON FREE PRESS AND TIMES: THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1911. GOSSIP OF GAY GOTHAM To Build Skyscrapers in New York with Rapid Firo Guns. Vntlier Knlcttcrltickrr flrjnec.liiK llulld Iuk Tocetlicr Xw Yorkers Ilusy I.cnriilnpr .Vow Library Vnluc of Wnler Snr. While skyrcrapera have shot up here In tho past to such an extent th.it a sixteen story bulletins has been erected In forty eipht working days, they will Instead of shooting up bo shot up In the futuro. If a recent Invention makes Rood. This does not mean, however, that wild west scones will be enacted In the tail biilldlnfM here but merely that a new rnpld tiro method of construction has appeared which may smash all building records existing at present. So great Is the demnnd for quick work that It Is nctually proposed to shoot walls Into place with a rnpld flro (run. The present rement mixer, It la claimed. Is to give way to the cement pun which will shoot liquid cement Into place by means of compressed air twenty four times r.s rapidly ns is possible under the present system. The sun Itself con sists of a low? tube of srent strength. Into this are admitted compressed air through a valve near the breech and watnr through another valve near tho muzzle. At about tho point of tho vent In the ordinary brouchloudlne; cannon ft tube like connection Is established with a hopper. Dry cement an I sand are thrown Into this hopper by two men, and here, a.ildc from valve manipulation and directing tho cement stream, tho human eloment ends. The hopper vi brates, mixing Its contents before It drop down throujh the tube ronnoctlon. Once In the emi barro! tho mixture Is shot for ward by tho compressed nlr fed through the valve. At the muzzle a Jtrcnm of water Is encountered that mKes with tho sand and cement, tho whole drlvlnir cut the Run with sufllclcnt force to carry It to tho desired point. As a result of this rnpld Are method of construction building records novor before dreamed of may soon bo established here. Aerial fishing IB New York's newest pastime. This does not mean angling for flying fish or from aeroplanes. Of course piscatorial ynms of varying dimensions and credibility are plentiful at this time of year, but n new record has just been established hero which far exceeds the feat of Simple, Simon of Mother Goose fame in attempting to catch n whale In his mother'H pall. As a result rlty em ployes aro now malting good cntches on dry land a hundred fe?t or more above the street level, and are claiming the title of aerial anglers. The man to sur pass Simple Simon's record Is the eu tjdLan of the city hall, who, ns a result i'f his catches of trout and bass on tho roof of this building has undoubtedly achieved a life membership In the Isauc Walton society. For a llhhlng ground the roof of a business building offers few at tractions, but It is in Just such a place tliat tho city hall custodian has been making famous catches. The new form cf fishing might still remain to be dis covered were It not for tho fact that something recently went wrong with tho Mipply pipe of a large tank on the roof of the city hall building. Investigation showed that a lake trout had tried to rind Its way through the pipe, and dying In the attempt had stopped It. Further toarch revealed tho fact that the tank was full of very hungry Ilsh. With a hook and lino th ciutodlau raptured one trout nnd eight boss In a short time, all of which hod come through the pipes from tho Central park reservoir some live miles distant. Investigation rhowed a plentiful supply of (Mi In other tanks, and as n result city employes are now making aerial catches dally which far rnrpass thoso of tho anglers who peek their game under ordinary conditions. Whether New York will eventually be all streets or all buildings served by stib terranoan thoroughfares Is dally becom ing a more momentous question. The fact is plain, however, that Ihln city Is shrinking visibly, that Is, so fur as tho area of its buildings is concerned and as a result it is probable tint the city rdlllce.s may eventually become merely long lines of flat surfaced structures un relieved by anything resembling ornnmen tal decorations on tho street level. Tho building shrinkage, however. In offset by the corresponding expansion of the .street area for Father Knickerbocker continual ly flDds his thoroughfares less and less prtequato for the needs of tho enormous trafflo using them. As a rcMilt efforts nro constantly Increarini;: to gr.ln more street area at the expeii'o of the build ings.

Mennv.hllo the process of squeez ing tho buildings together to gain a few more feet for the vehicles, cars nnd foot passengers goes merrily on In tho war which must eventually decide whether snnco necessary for city travel la to sur pass tho space necessary for business and residence. New Yorkers ure at present trying to accustom themselves to their now public library which has Jim been opened, so gigantic is the great Fifth avenue home of books, especially when compared to the library of wholly Inadequate size, fiat the process will probably take somu time. Statistics which have been collected concerning this new $0,000,000 structure show that it is in reality a book city In Itself To begin with it Is equipped with 53 miles of shelves capable of holding l.ivo.oca volumes In which the problem of hindliug such an array of books is one of grout magnitude. For ten years, or ever since the erection of the new library was authorized, the work of preparing to move to tho new quarters has been under way. Of course tho actual inovlng nas not In progress for n decade, nl ' hough for a month past huge covered vans have toiled back and forth from As tor placn to Forty-second street laden with cargoes of books; but for years be fore that the llhrary staff was busy de vising the elaborate system by means of which It was possible to move tho 900,010 volumes of the Astor collection and tho 'iKi.OWi of the l.enox collection to tho s' elvcs in their new hom,, without the loss or confusion of a single piece. Some conception of the size of this great build ing may be gained from the dimensions of the reading room which is i0.". feet long, 77 feet wide and M feet In height. The oily persons who find cause for sorrow In the opening of the new library aro the professional "sleepers" who found the old structure a most convenient place for rule! nops which will be impossible at tho new building. In spite of the general Idea that water ns a bev.-rngo Is a negligible quantity In New Yoik, there Is much uneasiness here over the threatening water famine, .vhlch, unless heavy rains bring relief, nay make the small glass of water which is supposed to accompany tho liquids con sumed along the flreut White Way an ex pensive accessory. Indeed there is just one class of citizens who can sco a sliver, rot to say a golden, lining to tho dark eloud of drought and they aro the plumb ers. The reason for their Jubilation Is due to the fact thut their services will bo In great demand for some time to come In .'topping leaks, packing valves nnd In other ways reducing the dally waste of ''ater which lias now become a serious matter. As an alternative to this wasto voter, users are confronted with tho pro posal of having meters Installed. Once In It Is probable that tho meters would never be removed nnd for this reason It l.s probable that a scramble will ensue for the services of plumbers to stop wasto since expensive as their assistance may prove It Is undoubtedlv a lesser evil ns compared tn tho installation of tho water meter. Meanwhile the sprinkling of the streets and the lawns In the parks has been curtailed and the daily bath bids fair to become a millionaire's lux ury. API'ltr.C'IATKIl I FIIANCE.

"This class of people Is properly re garded ns a most valuable addition to our population. They are liberal, brond-mlnd-1 nnd progressive. They are willing con tributors to the support of our churches, schools nnd worthy public enterprises, Among them the forcJtrv, good roads, dean olltlcs nnd better farming move ments liavo found willing and powerful support." This demonstrates tho vnlue of an In telligent system of advertising for Ver mont. Probably these newcomers nro bringing to New Hampshire nil tho ad vantages enumerated above and aro very desirable additions to the residents of the State but wo would prefer .1 system of advertising that would bring to Ver mont 200 permanent and progressive nil the year around residents. They would i.ot bring so much money but a moro Hluble and loyal clnss of citizenship which wo believe would bo of greutor value than mere wealth. Vermont wants men to set Mnndiirds to which tho average rttlxen hhlp ran ii.splre rather thnn men with t iMtulnrds m high that but very few ran rvcr nttiiln them. REST AND HfAlTH TO MOTHER WO CTIID.

Then I srent two dollars for gloves and a dollnr nnd fifty cents for some other things. How much would I have left?" For a moment thero was a dead silence. Then a boy's hand went up. "Well, Isaac, what would I have left?" "Vy didn't you count your change?" said Isaac In n disgusted tone. Mack's Nntlonnl Monthly. FOUNTAIN IT.XS AT mER PIinSH. Do you want to study this SUMMER?
