8 PREFER DEATH 10 EXERTION. IX 1)1 A FAMINE VICTIMS HARD TO HELP. Fatalistic Indifference, Deceit, Suspicion and Dishonesty Hinder Belief Work. From time to time the feelings of t.i? civilized are harrowed with tales of famine and pestilence prevailing In India. Every few yars ii a raSn falls in Central India, and Death stalks through a territory one-fifth the area of the United States and.

from a population 25 per cent greater, a harvest of milliona. Famine, v.ith its train of diseases, is once again threatening an area in the heart of Kngland's great dependency equal to that of all the New Kagland States. New York. How Jersey. Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, Florida.

Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, combined, with a population two and onehalf times preater than that of this section of tlie United States. This area has lain baking under a burnished fun until the heat rolls up from the dust laden earth in waves, and the mind almost pives way under the strain of the monotonous round of rising sun. with its assurance of another day of oveulike heat, and setttac sun. its pitiless promise of a repetition when it NEW TRAIN SHED WILL COVER ALL THIS AND MORE, TOO.

All human hope is now taken awn" that a dire can be averted." says Benjamin Aitken, who has wide experience with famines in India, in the current number of "The Contemporary Review." One of the most dishearteninp things in the world Is to endeavor to Eive great sifts to people who do not appreciate them. Only Esrosoing men. with stores of optimism, can keep on trying help BrrsMil who would rather not have what is best for them.

Helping the Hindu when famine forces him forth from Ms barren home in search of food has its discouraging side, according to Mr. AitJien. Apparently there are times when lie is more trying than a vish, unreasoning child. GOVERNMENT EILIEF. The Indian government is on the alei for the symptoms of an approaching famine.

takes the form of public works, grain Is shipped to the stricken districts by the truinload relief camps are provided for the distribution of food. "As the season advances," Mr. Aitken says, "and famine grows more severe, it Incomes necessary to open kitchens for the gratuitous distribution of food to the thousands of starving persons who are too weak to work. This would be unnecessary if the people had aenosi and could that it was better to anticipate an emergency than to wait for it to overwhelm them, But rather than away to a relief work as soon as it is opened, tens of thousands linger in idleness on their home steads until they become paupers. They reduce their daily allowance of food and eke it out with leaves end seeds which they collect in the woods; they sell their implements of industry for a fraction cf their value, and their axes and any vessels and cheap personal ornaments they possess, and also doors en rafters of their huts; and many of them, take to robbery.

"By nature and habit they are not steady workers; Therefore, many have the works and wander about the country on the chance of subsisting on what they can pick up. They are only half clad, even according- to the Indian standard, and many of them ere scarcely clad at all. If they have children with them, they desert them one by one, leaving them to public charity If they enter a town and to Jackals and wolves if they are in the country- They prow weaker from day to day, taking shorter walks and longer rests, till they sink down to rise so more." A MILLION DOOMED. "Now. as I write, I have the appealing prospect before me that, on the sole condition of my living.

I shall see all this once more during next March. April and May. For nothing that love and money can do will prevent a million or more of people from perishing In this way. extraordinary and continuous mortality of the pauper camps la attributable to two clearly defined causes. One of these is the perversity of the paupers themselves.

European paupers ere neither reasonable nor easily manageable, but they ere as different as they can be from paupers here, Indian paupers look upon death as a less evil than discomfort end Inconvenience. And' discomfort does not mean to them being without clothes, lying: on the ground, living on dry crusts or having nothing to do. It means having to make an exertion, being put out of their usual way, or being deprived of tobacco and spices. They are seldom happier than when they can sit for hours doing nothing. Strangest of all, they do not use violence, as a rule.

A number of them may be famishing, with plenty of food lying exposed before them; yet one native peon suffices to keep the crowd off. In accordance with this indifference to life, they will leave the camp and wander away, seemingly out of mere restlessness, and turn up at another camp with a lying story, or back to the camp ther have left in eucht a state of emaciation that their death within a few days Is certain. Energetic efforts were made in the Madras to detain the paupers by force, but In the last two famines only persuasion and threats were resorted to. However, people can laugh at threats who prefer death to restraint and to Inconvenience. BRTTTAL AND PERVERSE.

"Tiie brutality cf the perishing people Is equal to their perversity. They do not know the feeling of gratitude, although they are profuse in expressions of It when they desire to allay suspicion. They practise deceit with amazing cunning and audacity. They are unaffected by the sight of the highest gentlemen in the land wearing out their lives to aava them, or by the sight of lakhs of rupees being lavished for their benefit, or toy the sight of dozens of their own countrymen strursrlinr with the tmpossible task of feeding them. They will not do a turn to relieve tht.se.

or to help hundreds who are famishing and sinking and dying Arcufd. them. On the contrary, tjitj; do everything they can to promote, the suffering Of the sufferers and increase the cares or those who are helping They break or lose the dishes in which they get their rood after every meal. They pollute precious water supply. They tear down their sheds an 4 use the materials for fuel.

They Insolently disobey the simplest sanitary rules with a llaprancy which cannot be described. If blankets or clothes be given to them, as is somt limes done by tho thousand, they go off wiih them and sell them. live on the money for a day or two. starve for day or more, and then come back to the camp In a dying state. More than possibly more than hundred a systematic trade in blankets has found to be going on between the paupers and a dealer in the bazaar, who paid a trine for the blankets as often as they were brought to him.

and then sold them again at full price to the camp authorities. The camp servants connive at this trade, and sometimes one of them is himself the dealer. ROB THE DYING. this is not the worst that the paupers do. They rob the dying of food and blankets; they throw away food given to them if they Bee something better given to the sick.

Mothers snatch away miik which is being civ. to their infants, or they take away all their children anil give them to the jackals unless they are allowed to eat with them and share their special food." Other Instances of this callousness are recited by Ur. Krii. On one occasion lie was visiting a certain camp. The mortality of adults at that camp." he writes, "was from thirty to forty daily, 1 saw nineteen bodies burned en one pyre.

We went into the hospital shed, where some, two hundred men and women were lying, nearly all of whom were to die within seven days. Swarms of flics wore crawling over their faces. Sonic of the poor sufferers raised a hand now and then to drive off the flies, others could only move their beads uneasily, others again, with fixed eyes and open mouths, could do nothing; they were nearly dead. Two men whose duty it was to attend on the sick were absent. There were several idling about, but it would not nave been etiquette to ask them to do other men's work.

As for any of them, or j-tiv of the hundreds of idle paupers, volunteering to keep the flies from tormenting tlie patients on their beds, only simpleton would Imagine such a thing." BUVIW LIGHT AND AIR. One of the of Build; ing Lofty Structures. Air is being bought, sold and rented a regular business in New York, and not a men making small fortune) at this Queerest of metropolitan activities. of course, long has been commodity of prico in the crowded districts, as those who have Bought apartments facia south know to the sorrow of their pocketbooks. The air and.

by the way, it baa its is, however, of mere recent development, as it is a direct outgrowth of the towering skyscraper, which requires more than Its own share of oxygen! And because 01 this fact far seeing: New York speculators have not merely entered the air business, but In many cases have obtained such a monopoly of breathing supply that many owners of buildings cannot obtain their air in the open market, but -re forced to pay fancy prices to air The air bought and sold is not piped in from great tanks, like nor Is it furnished in condensed form, like oxygen, in little Ore-extlng like cylinders. Is simply the open air between roof and high heaven, which New York operators, having already possessed themselves of the earth, have teamed to control and put .1 heavy price mark on, This nddrnl of traffickings, which lias been goiug on for several years, wns brought to light recently by a significant question asked by student in the course on liis law of architectural, engineering and construction contracts at the West Side Young Men's Christian Association for the benefit of those In the building and real estate trade. The fetudent, who is part owner of a new twelve story office building, asked the instructor, Gilbert H. Montague, legal secretary to Supreme Court Justice Blanchard, what he could do to protect the air that came in the side windows of his building. He added that he had already beard rumors that the owners of the four story dwelling houses on either side of his building purpose to erect fourteen story buildings right up to his party line and block off the air and light from all but bis street and rear windows.

might almost call it a case of dealers in light and air." answered the instructor. "Have you had any roundabout offers to sell the adjoining properties?" "No. but a real estate dealer told me 1 might be able for a heavy consideration to get my neighbors to agree not to build higher than six stories In the next twenty-five years." "Oh. that's it. They want to rent you, fo to the light, and that, of coarse, means air, between their roore and the sky at so much for a period of years.

Well, about all you can do is to buy or lease the adjoining land, or else covenant with them that they shall not build higher, bo as to prevent your use or light and air over their property. There no other way out. for the American law, the English law. gives no right to any easement for light and air along the party lines" of a lot Your neighbors can build right up and close every side window you have. The only light and air rights you have are on the street, where there 13 a sort of abutter's right which generally permits the owner to object to any obstructions of light and air, such as elevated railroad tracks, unless he is paid for them." Prospective builders of skyscrapers, however, are learning the rules of this game, and before they begin to buy or even hint publicly at a new building they make sure that they own all the land they want and control all the air they need.

Still, once in a while some man who has made an expert etudy of queer little pieces of Manhattan property will be found to own come awkward little etrlr, the strategic value of which on the operations' of. nearby owners he fully knows. The power of an adjoining owner to do what he likes on his Bide line was Illustrated not long ago in Riverside Drive, where the owner of a private house resented the fact that the adjoining apartment had windows opening on her lot. She simply ordered built a brick wall, which completely ehnt off and because the wall was en her own sMe of the party Use the aparim.er.t owners could do nothing at all about it. This owner siasnlv did not want to sell or rent her snare of air.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SUNDAY. JANUARY 19. 1908. BIG TRAIN SHED IS COMING DOWN.

MORE DIFFICULT THAN TO PUT IT UP. New Temporary One for Grand Central Station Will Cover Forty Acres of Tracks: To make room for what will be, when it is completed, probably the largest train shed in the world, the old train shed which has formed, since IS7I, so conspicuous a part of the Grand Central Station is being torn down and broken up for junk. As soon as possible after the old shed is out of the way work will begin upon the construction of a giant temporary shed, which shall cover all the tracks, old and now, entering the Grand Central Station, between Vanderbilt Place and Lexington avenue, during the years of work on the new terminal. This enormous shed, while ii will not be built to so great a height as the present structure, will be modelled along much the same lines. Some idea of Its great size is to be had from the fact that it ill be about four city blocks wide and eight city blocks long, covering: practically ail of what Is now "the yards," just north of the present shed, or an area about twice the size of Bit.

Morris Park In Harlem, and containing about forty acres. It will completely house all of the 1,027 trains which dally pass through the Park avenue tunneL Although the engineers call the new shed "temporary," it will be built with much permanency; for it must stand several years. When the work on the new Central terminal is completed, in the place of the single of tracks new entering the old shed, there will be threo different levels, two of them below the surface, or street, level. The work on the different levels on the avenue Bide of what is to be the new terminal has been in progress for a long time, and Section, or "Bite" No. i.

as the engineers call It, is now nearly finished so far aa the work the tracks is concerned. Already work on "Bite" No. 2, as the second or middle section of tracks is styled by the engineers, lias been (started, but In this and "Bite" No. 3 the work of building the tracks at the different levels must proceed probably much more slowly than in "Bite" No. 1.

There, after the buildings had been cleared away, the track builders had a comparatively dear field, "Bite" No. 3 lies right in the heart of the track area. Trains are passing In and out on an average of one every sixty seconds, and the orders are explicit that 111. thins must Interfere with schedule time. At the best it will be years before the work can be finished.

The estimated total cost of all Improvements about the big terminal placed at $70,000,000. The difficulties which tbe track builderU are experiencing in prosecuting this work for a long time puzzled the engineers charged with the removal the present train shed. tho total number of trains passing dailj through the fuik avenue tunnel 600 pass In and our of the olu shed. This is an average of twenty-five trains im lmtir, or nearly one every two minutes. How to get the shed down without interfering with this traffic became a problem of no iiK-an proportions.

Its final solution Is an Interesting one. Into the northern end of the old the engineers built false end of great timbers. Tin- general form tms "traveller," as It caJled. is thai of a semi-circle supported on great stilt-like legs extending nearly to the level of the they rest on gn ai iron wheels rollers no! unlike the wtieelij on roller skates. This structure reaches tbe entire h'-ight of the and the portion idivided into several different working levels, to pach of which adequate Ore protection is Borded by two big stnnj pipes running up through work.

Tho supports at tlif traveller, which i- feet across at the base, rest between the tracks entering the shed, and as the work advances the structure is rolled ahead. It really forms a great moving end for the gradually shortening train ehed, and affords real protection against inclement weather, because its inner or southern end is covered with metal sheeting, to about the same depth from the roof, as was the Original end of the station. The entire month of December was required for the buildinp of the tiiK traveller, which contains 300,000 feet Of timber, and the cost of its construction with the coat of tf ring down the Ehed is placed at $50,000. Although the old shed may be nothing: much to look at, tho contractors on job of tearing it down testify to the fact that it was solidly put together. It Is 100 high and 530 feet lontf Its arches and trusses contained 1.250 tons of iron and steel, and in Its walla are about bricks.

For a time officers of the road thought seriously of taking the old shed carefully to pieces and erecting It at some other point on the line, but this idea has been definitely abandoned, and last week the engineers began the work of reducing the big train shed to scrap-iron.

Harper an excltlne Incident book Is here For thirty-six hours a fireman was buried alive under a man of debris on the first floor of a great paper waruhouse In Roosevelt street, New York, which burned down in January.

1907. Here was a man whoa the public had Riven up as dead. awful news had been jfently broken to his wife by friends, and the fireman's name was recorded among those lost in fire. A whole day had passed in clearing the ruins and searching for the bodies, when suddenly, at twilight, th. waiting crowd was thrilled with the cry: There is a man alive in the ruins!" From the depths of the mass of broken brick and mortar and the piles of wreckage in the burned warehouse hail been heard the feeble cry: "Thirty-two: The man's engine company number.

He was calling for his mates. Then they listened again "Thirty-two! Thirty-two:" Ip from the horrors beneath came these and then a steady tapping, to show that under all that tangled mass a human being was for his life. Then you should have seen the men Thirtytwo In action. The Fire Commissioner himself worked as bard as any man there. He never left the place from the moment there was a chance of saving the fireman's life until trie rescue was com pleted.

Three men had been working on the third of that doomed warehouse. Seeing the danger, their officer Bad ordered them to leaves but almost at the same moment the roof caved in. and its weight carried floors straight down With it. it was complete collapse.

Then came the terror of the thought that in their wonderful efforts to save me some part of that tangled mass of wreckage might give way. and Well, at last a hole was dug through. letting in the clear air: and then they sent stimulants through a tube Cress above, and then the strong arms of the rescuers were about me. and then, by God's great providence. 1 was brought back to "My back was lame, my limbs weir swollen from the long stay in the water, but my friends were there, and no words of mine can ever ifflrJontly or adequately tnank them." THE FRENCH ELECTRIC VILLA Wonderful House at Troyes, France.

Wherein Electricity Performs Household Duties. The wonderful electric house, the Villa Ml Klectra. which has been built by M. Georgia Knap at Troyes, France, clearly defines the part which electricity Is destined to play in the home of the future. If not an exact type of what most booses will be in fifty or a hundred time, it at any rate shows progress, says "Electro-Motes." Prom the exterior then is nothing unusual about the bouse, unless it Is the total absence of a chimney.

The gates cannot be opened from the outside. but us soon as the electric bell is touched, the portal swings slowly and a mysterious voice, which to pmaaats from a iron box near the gate, bids you enter. Stranger than a thing the voice has apparently recognized you and calls you by name, if you are a friend of family. If .1 visitor arrives after dark the same push button that rings the bell will light up 11 way. The gate swings in place as soon as you start toward the house.

M. Knap, apprised elec-ally of your coming, will be found in the 1 awaiting you. With the first step inside house a small device automatically cleans the soles of the visitor's shoes. Although the bouse Is a museum of electrical inventions an.l conveniences, the dining table is the greatest wonder. No servants wait upon the At the touch of hidden snitch the table Is flooded in many colored lijthts.

each plate a tittle class and metal cylinder, which becomes small radiators at the touch of a also located under the table opposite At tiip head of the is a circular desk, its traversed by a curious metal strip, with a groove like a miniature tramway. At the touch a lintton th. disk front of Knap disappears mr! by mac- and In place appears a steaming of soup, which rapidly travels to the seat occupied by lime. Knap, while the sections quickly and noiselessly. if the ladle happens to rather awkwardly placed the tureen swings 1 11 places the spoon almost in her hand.

All this is by the press of a linger on two buttons under the husband's control After waiting for Mm. Knap to take what soup she wants the tureen passes of its own accord around the groove in the table in front of each guest until all have been served. After it has completed the journey it disappears as magically as it came. In a few minutes a receptacle for dirty dishes appears and waits patiently tor its load. There.

Is no rattle of crockery, no danger from careless servants, no and' confusion' of waiters In this wonderful way all the food, from the delicious julienne to the coffee ami cigars Is served. If the room becomes slightly overheated the inventor presses another button and a c.h.i sweet scented breeze fans the guests The air is scented und cooled by passing over perfumed water. After the dinner the visitors am to inspect the. wonderful hi.use. first place vlsite.l is always the kitchen.

Here everything Is electricity. Fixed to the walls are switches, meters etc. for controlling the apparatus. The electric heat is applied direct, and It only takes a few minutes to prep.ire the food. The dishes are all of aluminum, easy to clean, and each designed especially for Its work.

On the kitchen table are a number of electrical utensils. Including a mincingmachine, a miniature churn for producing fresh butter, a coffee gTbader, a buffer and polisher, and even an electric Tlish washer. was also shown the motor-driven apparatus which waited on the table so nicely. In the laundry the clothing is washed, dried and ironed by electricity. The guest chambers heated and lighted and ventilated by the current.

Klectric bells, telephones and cigar lighters abound. A simple electrical device notifies the servants in the basement of a visitor at front gate. By a series of mirrors the owner of the house can ste his guest standing in the street. With the telephonic apparatus he can talk with him from the den. and at the press of a Oncer tUe galas swing dr abut.
