In the offices of the United States Steel Corporation is a young- man with a head for figures. He finds the same sort of mental recreation In dig-g-Jne-mlt statistical data that some playing solitaire.

It was with reluctance that he left a big sheet of ng-ures on New Year's Eve to go hear Trinity chimes. Going- uptown after mldnigrht the tin horns annoyed the mathematical greniuK and he was testy. A companion remarked that he didn't like to hear a man quarreling- with his broad and butter. "Why, the tin plates'It took to make the horns that will be thrown away to-night will keep your old. tin trust going for a month." don't imag-ina the tin horn tiade helps dividends much," he replied, "but I'll find out 'to-morrow what it amounts to.

How many horns do you suppose were blown in Manhattan to-nig-ht?" Various numbers were suggested and 200,000 agreed on as a basis for calculation. Three days later tho statistician sent this letter: "1 have looked up that tin horn question since we were discussing it New Year's morning-, and I flnd these facts: "A maker of tin horns would cut three horns from a sheet 14 by 2S inches, the standard size, so that, allowing- amply for waste, it might take 70,000 sheets to make "OO.O'Kl horns. Tho American Tin Plate Company has a plant at Martins Ferry, Ohio, with" twenty-two 'hot mills' that produces enough, tin plate In one-third of a day to furnish Manhattan 200.000 tin horns with which, to vent her exuberance over the blrtii of a new year. This is not one of the company's largrest plants, either. "This plant works sixteen 'turns' or shifts a.

week, so that the weekly output is 1.239.10 sheets, or more than enou-grh to make a tin horn for every man, woman, and child in Greater Xew York. This plant has been, running steadily and ougiit -to get in fif'ty weeks a year, for repairs are made on Sundays, and holidays are the only idle days. Hence, the year's output would be 31,952,000 sheets, 14 by 28 inches. if used for roofing, would cover 18,738,567 square yards--I'll leave it for you to run-It into square miles. "Remember, these flguresdeal with the output of only one of the American Tin Plate Company's plants, of which It has thirty-nine, and this one is not Ilia largrest by any means.

Remember, too, that there are many independent plants. all of which are working steadily. "What becomes of all the tin plate? Roofs, cans, household wares, toyis--what else can you think of that will make these enormous ng-ures that cannot lie seem more plausible. Studv over your awn individual experience as ti consumer of tin plate, and multiply it by the consumption of the millions of your fellows-, and still the amount you cannot account tor serins insignificant compared with what actually leaves -the mills every year. Some of the used tin plate is reworked.

After Man-ha-ttan's New Year festival the streets were littered with tin horns smasji- ed flat by passing vehicles. Under the svstem of salvage in vogue among street cleaning contractors, all these and the tin cans are gathered from among the de- brie; the tin fe melted from tho iron and saved, and the iron Is melted and used eg-aln as raw material. To-day America, is not only malting all the tin she uses, but we are shipping tons upon tons to other countries." Not His Fault. From Brooklyn Idfe.

How Railroad Depot Will Look After Millions Are Spent, and Promise Washington Another Pride by January Next--The Drag Is Over. Chaos that for mouths has shrouded th site of the new union station is giving place to form and order. From the center of the broad forty- foot plateau, built up of earth and rise the lines of, tho great central structure.

All about it are springing up subordinate buildings. The uncompleted structures, with hero and there a huge statuo thirty feet higrh waiting to be put into place, give the work the aspect of a world's fair in process of construction. Hut one can now obtain a. collective idea of the design from the main building, has been built UD in Its center nearly to its determined height. This stands in the middle of the plateau, facing- south upon the plaza, and will be the distinctive feature of the architectural scheme.

On this plaza results are not commensurate, Tlie eastern half will extend over the tracks coining in throug-h the tunnel from the "South and will be supported by heavy interlocking iron plates, upheld by stone walls and steel columns. Unon these plates the concrete roadway'of the plaza, will be laid. The plates are and grivo the appearance of an acre of gigantic: turtles. To Be Ready in a Year. "It Is impossible to estimate what per cent, of the work has been completed," said Edward Wllmann.

superintendent for D. H. Burnham architects of all the buildings, connected with the new terminal, "but it may be said there is every probability of the station being ready for use by the last of next January. That does not Include the laying of tracks In the passenger yards, hut this la comparatively a small task. The opening of the station will not be dependent upon the completion of the tunnel under Capitol Hill, as only the 'Southern roads will us2 it to any extent." Then visions of strikes and defaulting contractors often come before Mr.

Wfl- jnann. "Of course," he said, '-all my predictions are, de-pendtent upon our pitting- the building supplies eontractod for on time and the total absence of fr'ctlon with any of the labor orgranlzatl as. These are thiners we can no oe What proportion of the $14,000.000 estimated as the c-ost of the station will be expended Mr. Wllmann could not say. "I should think." he said, "that liie cost of the buildings -will be from five to s-ven millions.

This includes the main depot, the power-house and. equipment, the express offices, the inspectors' the sig-nal towers and buildings, tho several buildings auxiliary to these, and the train sheds. Of course, the work is designed to toe of the most durable character possible. Tho foundations are con- special material. TDjivide Conflicting Traffic.

"One of the great features of convenience," sayg Mr. Wllmann, "will be the separation of the local and long-distance passenger The many local trains run 'by the 1 and Ohio and Pennsylvania roads will use the ten western tracks on the level of the main floor. Through trains and those running- to distant points will use the five eastern tracks, eighteen feet lower, on the Ipvel of the -Capitol Hill tunnel. This arrangement will prevent the congestion incident to local travel at certain hours of the day and the interfering with the movements of travelers, who generally have much business with the station officials. The local traffic is given the tracks level i the main floor of its greater volume.

The time saved to the thousands who come and go every day will amount to much. The depot grounds proper extend north from the south end of the plaza 1,400 feet, with a width of about 750 feet, embracing about 25 acres. Most of this will be utilized for passenger terminal tracks, of which there will be fifteen. The burning question is what style of train-s'hed shall be adopted'. There are three stylet; in use: Tho simple arched shed, covering- all the tracks, with its single span, which has Lhe advantage of affording- complete protection against all kinds of weather, which is claimed to be grloomy and sooty; the three-arched shod, costing less, buL, from the lower pitch of tho arches, increasing the darkness, soot, andl smoke, and the brella" shed.

Has Massive Steel Ribs. A row of columns down the center of the platform between car tracks is the striking feature of the latter shed. A horizontal beam conccting their tops, from which tho protecting- roof runs out on either side and protects the platforms, is built in two styles. In one the two roofs slant clown like tho roof of an umbrella, shedding the water on top of tho cars. In the other, the roofs branch upward outward, extending well out over the roofs of the cars.

The water drains through the columns Into the sewer. The space between the roof and the top of the car is about elg-hteen inches-. The "umbrella" shed will probably be adopted. There are many objections, however, and the matter is by no means settled. Its opponents claim that wind will drive the rain between the car roof and tho "umbre-lfa," that the platforms will always be wet, and that they afford no protection against the weather.

Would Dwarf the Capitol Dome. The Architectural Record defends it. Enormous train shedfi, it argues, have not justified their cost, being cold, dark, dirty, and leaky, and being so conspicuous, would tend to dwarf the dome of the Capitol and detract from this pride. Say the Sirchitects who have the final say: "While we incline to the umbrella shed, we are not at all bound to it. The final decision has not yet been made.

"I am much in favor of this style of umbrella shed," said Mr. Wilmann, superintendent. "I r-iave seen it in use in Eu- I rope, where it gave satisfaction. Because I millions are on the station, it is not necessary to spend useless thousands on a huge single arch when the umbrella sheds, at far less cc'st, will afford as much protection. But it is certain that no form of protection will 'De idopted until every kinn is given full consideration." Naomi Lodge Officers Installed.

The proper treatment of the scalp and complexion is a study that means years of patient research and scientific investigation. Physicians are apt to think it of too little importance to devote the time necessary to make a study of it, but e' ery woman justly considers it of extreme importance. Probably the best authority on the subject in Washington is Miss Hattie M. Shackletto, and her aid is being constantly sought by ladies who value then good looks. She has made an exhaustive study of the best way to cure scalp Diseases, to the hair and prevent it from turning gray, to restore faded complexions, and to cure all facial blemishes.

Her parlors are located at 10DL- 4 street, on the second floor, and only ladies and children are treated. Best Quality Milk a.nd Cream.

Most scalp diseases, pimples, blotches, and other facial disfigurements are caused by the minute blood vessels lying- the skin having become sluggish and failing to carry off impurities.

Ave. UNDERSTAND STREETS Engineering Officials Elucidate Motive for Public. STRAIGHTENS OUT THE TANGLE Conformity and System Will Make Extension Easy, Remove Confusion, and Harmonize with a Scheme for General Uniformity and Civic Beauty, Clearing Up Mystery of Names' Derivatives. Much interest has been awakened at the District BuiUing- in the recent discussion of the change of street names. Officials of the engineer department expressed the opinion that neither the plan iior the motive was well understood by the public.

They hold that in cariying the plans of the highway extension into the suburban territory it is better for all concerned that a uniform system of naming streets be adopted, as in the city. The plan contemplates a nomenclature that will fit the lettered streets in the city, and in the future prove its efficacy by its simplicity With reference to the plan, the following facts given out yesterday by the engineer department: Prior to 1893 persons owning land in the District outside of the city limits had the rig-ht to subdivide their holdings, dedicate streets and alleys, and give the streets sacli names as suited their fancy. In consequence, the subdivisions joined one another in such manner that a street ran through several subdivisions and had a different name as it passed through each. Some Had Many Names. There were many instances of this In various subdivisions where streets only a few blocks in length had different names as they ran through each block.

IP Brooklanci, Hamlin street, only a few blocks long, was formerly known as Axis- tin, Galveston, Fulton, and Hartford streets. Now ton street was formerly known as Providence and Milwaukee. Another street called Milwaukee, and Lowell. This street is now known as Monroe. Lowell street was further duplicated in one street th-it was variously called Lowell, Hartford, Keokuk, and Jackson.

It is now known as Lawrence street. One street, variously named Joliet, Dover Indianapolis, and Hamlin street, is row know as Jackson street Jn Columbia Heights a continuous street was known as Yale street west of Eleventh street and Bismarc-k street east of Eleven Mi street. A practically continuous street now known as Euclid street was formerly Erif. Roanoke and Irvine Columbia road was. known as SteUben street on the eat side of Eleventh street a is now known under the present system as Irving street was a continuous street formerly called variously Kenesaw, Wallach, and ITcClellan streets.

There were numerous duplications of names throughout the Disti-ict. For instance there were three Oak streets three Jolipt streets, two Philadelphia streets, two Baltimore streets, three Lowell streets. In Georgetown the streets which, wore continuations of tlhe streets in tffs City of Washinqton had different Rock Creek was crossed. Deviations and Conflicting. In a similar manner in Columbia Heights and Columbian University subdivisions which lie on either side of Kourtenth stroft.

the names of streets wore selected at the pleasure of the parties subdividing, and though those streets were practically continuous had different names-, those in Columbia Heigihts generally named after principal colleges anj those in Columbian University Subdivision being named after former presidents of Columbian University end others. Tale street and Hunllnsrton place were practically continuous st'cets with different names on each side of Fourteenth street, ami under the new system both streets have been called Fairmount In Washington the avenues are broad diagonal highways named af'er the States of the Union. In the laying out of certain subdivisions in Washington Heights and other places the word nue" given to rarrow streets, one block in Ipng-th, which was a clear misnaming of streets not avenues in any sense. Under the new system these so- called avenues have been changed tc streets, where they conform with the general layout of streets or "roads." Bcl- mont ar.d Kalorama avenues have been called Belmont and Kalorama roads, and California avenue has been called street bocai.ee it was in the line of street in the city. Where short streets occurred between blocks they were given the designation "place," and a name was given them beginning with the initial letter of the streets lying just south of the place.

Dearborn street, between Girard and Harvard streets, was called Gresham place. Conformity and Extension Scheme. The general system as adopted by tho Commissioners was to extend the city streets running north-south, and to use the numbers as the same are used in the city; also to extend the lettered streets of the city running east and west as far as the letter This carried the single lettered system to the most northerly portion of Florida avenue, the old city boundary, and the next street above this was given a name of two syllables, beginning with the letter namely, Adams street. The next street going north was formerly called Staughton street, and this name was changed to Belmont street. The alphabet was followed with two-syllable names until it was exhausted with the name Webster street in Petworth.

After this three-syllable names, alphabetically arranged, were used, the first name of this arrangement being "Allison." This alphabetical system of three syllables was followed until it was exhausted in the neighborhood of Takoma Park, where the names of trees were used, arranged alphabetically, the flrst name under this arrangement being "Aspen" street. Where streets did not conform with this system the names were changed. Where it did conform the names were and in cases where present names did not interfere with the system these were also retained, such as Columbia road; Park street, which was changed to Park road, i as it did not conform with the street plan, and Holmead avenue, which was changed to Holmead place; also the names of Chapln, Clifton, Harvard, and Kenyon streets were retained as being in conformity with the system. Learning the Ne-w Names. As the streets to be named were partly existing streets and partly streets laid down in the permanent system of highway plans, plan was used in giving the names, and as the plan was made up into four sections, these sections were named separately, so that, although the system Is applied to each section, the distinction between these sections and the fact that the same streets were not continuous throxigh each section made some change in the names necessary.

Most of the names of the streets where continuous through each section bear the same name. In the section lying east and west of North Capitol street the flrst three streets lying north of street are Adams, Bry- Positively Every Shoe in the House to Go at Clearing Sale Prices.
