When the passion play at Oberammergau was In progress ten years ago an American visitor spent much of his apart time looking up the actors In their homes and chatting with them about the play, One complaint he met almost everywhere was the tremendous fatigue the performers suffered at the close of the eighthour performance. Coming to the horns of Hans Zwink, the Judas of the Pla>" he found the painter-actor in quite a cheerful mood. "Does the performance fatigue you sc much, too?" the tourist inquired. Ere Herr Zwink could reply his little ten-year-old son chirped up: "Pa, he don't get so tired. He hangs himself at 3 o'clock and comes hom? two hours before the others." _ ( y * **/ >- * TvH S*ra -.?3k yr* awfc< g n ^ H Ss9M\ Hi : :< ' -;.Vix.:-.v;. . .... ?.,.,.Vv CITY END OF KHOD GAPS ARE TO 1 IN BROAD 1 New York and Rhode Isla. Continuity Establishe May Change Rout The sudden end of New York avenue at the approach to the fine new bridge that stretches across the network of tracks of the terminal of the Union station is forced on the notice of those who use the trolley line along that thoroughfare. The cars, instead of going straight along on the line of New York avenue, as the broad expanse of the bridge ap pears to suggest, take a sudden turn and pass at the side of the freight station of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and thence through Eckington. The obvious reason why the cars stop and swerve off to the north in such an un- i expected manner is because there is no road to the east of the bridge. Up to the present time that section of New York avenue is merely a map street. During the present season it is expected its course will be graded through the hills and wooded heights north of the Kendall Green property, and so on, practically to the borders of the property of the National Training School for Boys. Boutes May Be Beadjusted. What the street railway company will do when the avenue is opened "remains to be seen. But it seems that there will be a chance to readjust a portion of the system with mutual advantages to both the company and the public. This might not be the case were it not that during the coming season it is expected another great thoroughfare will be opened up in its natural course. This is Rhode Island avenue, which is inter rupted at I'd street east, ana iruui iu?c to 4th street is as yet unopened. This gap in the course of an avenue which extends through the city, and now all the way out to the bounds of the District at Mount Rainier Heights, is inconvenient to the public, as all such situations must be, for it obliges a detour of greater or less extent. At the present time the cars of the Le Droit Park line cross Rhode Island avenue at 3d street northwest, and thence nor,h and west to the terminus at Georgia avenue. It may no doubt prove to be a better route when Rhode Island avenue is continued to the east to have the cars of what is known as the Maryland line come from the center of the city along that route and thence east out Rhode Island avenue, while cars may also continue out New York avenue. In other particulars of possible changes in the line of streets the benefits of the ?rvnninir nn of these two great thorough vrpvn?i>n - f ? ? faxes are manifest, but it is quite evident that as one result of the street extension work during the current season many benefits will come to that section of the city and the District. Growing Part of District. It is quite apparent that this region is one of the growing portions of the District. While the section bordering the old bounds of the city is now an essential urban locality, with the streets lined with houses built in rows, the name of Eckington is still retained, which was given some years ago when the land was laid out as one of the suburbs of the city. The houses were designed in accordance with that notion, and examples are still to be seen of the cottage and villa type of homes with lawns and gardens about them. But that species of development has been stopped. It is ev.dent that the future home is to he a house in a row. Several rows of that description are already there, and some are to be found along Rhode Island avenue just east of 4th street, where the cars turn and start for the Maryland terminus. The subdivision or additions to Brookland reach the line of the avenue at this point, and as that settlement spans the stretch of country lying between Rhode Island avenue and Michigan avenue it covers quite an area of land. But it is not all built up by any means. A good portion of it is still a paper town, especially that section that comes down to Rhode Island avenue. In fact, for a long distance after leaving 4tn street the car line passes amid fields on both sides of j the avenue. As is also the case along other lines of the outward growth and extension of the city, it is not until one begins to approach the Maryland border that the largest j cluster of houses is seen.. However, be- i * a _ ~ t * t J ? ? _ j lore iHal puuu in i cttiucu une tunics iu Groves Park, where, facing the car line houses are being built not in rows, but quite close together. Then there is the subdivision of Ellaston Terrace, under the management of the Columbia Real Estate Company, and still farther to the east1 I | 'J I i < > ? . ' p I .

E ISLAND AVENUE SOUTH OF NOI 3E BRIDGED 'HOROUGHFARES nd Avenues to Have Theit d Soon ? Car Lines es in Consequence. Is Sherwood, which might be called thf northern extension of Langdon. Lawns of Woodridge. Woodridge is so near that the group 01 houses, which have grown to considerabh numbers, form really one settlement, ai least to the eye of the stranger. Th< residents are proud of their homes, a least they like to see them looking well In consequence there are stretches 01 lawn about the houses, and flowers anc foliage plants. Very attractive thes? houses look to the visitor, ever though he has only the fleeting glimpse of a traveler on the trolley. The immediate vicinity of the house! is attractive, and so is the outlook ovei the undulating surface of Montgomerj county, with its varied aspect of culti vated fields and woods. On one eminenc* stands the group of buildings of a relig ious order at Brookland, while to th< south, and in the opposite direction, is th< commanding site of the National Traininj School for Boys. It is an agreeable pros pect that spreads out before the home: of these city residents, and it wears s specially fair aspect at this period in th< year. But still the bounds of the District hav< not as yet been reached, for there is Rhode Island Terrace, under the man agement of H. F. Mandlor, and Saratogs Heights, S. W. Plckford in charge, be fore Mount Rainier Heights is reached and the District line. The latter ulaci Is in Maryland just beyond the Dlstricl domain, and has now reached the dignit] of an incorporated town under the law: of Maryland, and has a mayor to se< that the laws are enforced and to lool after the improvement of the streets ant other municipal needs. It is not an old place, in fact, a ven new one, but it has grown rapidly ant the prospects are that it is going1 to in crease still more rapidly. At this poin and all along the line of Rhode Islant avenue are to be seen signs and othe: announcements informing those interest ed that building sites can be secured, ant in some instances furnishing the informa tion that Is of great interest, namely something about the prices asked. Th< range according to this source of informa tion is from to $40o per lot. When Mount Rainier Heights is reach ed that does not mean that it is th< Jumping off place and there is nothinj beyond even when only the suburbai population of the city is In mind for i Is difficult to say Just where thi Influence of the city on the populatioi ceases in this direction. The trolley Mm runs to Laurel, about half way to Balti more, and all along between those point; there are to be found citizens with Dis trict interests. CHANGING NOTES OF BIRDS. Their Varying Calls in Sunshine anc Storm. From thp Scotsman. On? Of tllP moct intoraeHrw ?* ? ? j.caiutua ii the study of bird life is to note thel: varying calls in the changing circum stance of sunshine and storm. The frequent snowfalls of the recen winter have often been heralded by thi mournful "cluck, cluck," of the black birds as they flocked round the door : looking for the crumbs that custom ha? led them to expect. The mavis is mostlt mute during a storm, and tells his tali of woe more by his ruffled feathers ant drooping wing than by his voice. Hi! note, however, is the first to welcome ; change to warmer weather. The stormcock, by which is meant th< blue felt or flqjdfare, does not frequeni the habitation of man, but there is ,nr more certain sign of the approach o< severe weather than a flock of thes? birds flying southward. Their note is ar ominous "chuck, chuck," and but for tha they would often pass unnoticed over I head. The skylark also passed south utterinj i a timid, twittering note, which will latei give place to a gay burst of song. Th? starlings flock greedily to wherever fooc is to be found, be it in field or homestead. The first blink of warm sunshine however, sees them perched on the eaves | vibrating their wings in a manner n< [ other bird does and imitating with an all of intense satisfaction the call notes of a | host of other birds. i The sparrows which robbed the farmei in the autumn flock townward in winter ?nd their cheerless twitter, on the housetops bears faint resemblance to theii noisy clamor in the cornfield. The robir seeks his dole with an air of quiet confidence and sometimes rewards us with a burst of snne nuite nut of keeninc- wltv his surroundings. The blue tits have nc voice to say they are hungry, though their actions show it, but their spring note may be heard In the woodlands when they forsake our doors for the field * , \ ., ~ Z J** STREET BETWEEN 19TH ANJJ 20TH Am yi .
