Vf HE ESTATE FIELD Meet of ibe Actlvily In Preparatloa for Ftll. tOK STHX LOOKING FOR IfAKGAl.VS A Few Significant lurchaira Tba tours' ion of Light fur Tall Of- fic liullilltigv-Ueroriii In Offlw, Just now on week Is very much like Ha rrdeeess.r so far reel estate conditions uiddealtngs go. The past eeren days have howa the warn kind of activity, unusual at thla period of the year, which the other weeks of July exhibited. Much of the activity la that of preparation for Fall, but a fair proportion baa to do with pending negotiation. There ar atlll plenty of men besieging the brokera for bargains which are not forthcoming.

Very shortly even they will become convinced that the period far sacrifices haa ceased. If It ever was her. Of actual sales, not many were reported taring the week, and, tn fact, not many were expected. Some which are virtually eencluderl are being delayed until after the eonftrmatlon of the tax levy at the end of the month. Thla.

in the absence of an agreement to. the contrary, puts upon lh. present holder the necessity of paying the taxes for the year. The moat significant of the purchases an-teunced are those by Mr. Benjamin Altman af B.

Altman who has acquired more thaa 17.WJU additional aqua re feet of (round adjoining the premises now occupied by his arm. The property will be improved by the erection of buildings to be added to the present store. The entire plot will have 121 feet front on Sixth Avenue by 304.8 feet on nineteenth Street and 128 feet on Eighteenth Street. The purchase, taken in connection with similar onea recently made by ether large dry goods establishments, shows taat the deatre for enlargement Is spreading. It Is doubtless prompted in some measure by the excellent prospects for business sew apparent.

There la also an Impression gaining' ground that the aide streets between Eighteenth and Twenty-third Streets, west of Sixth Avenue will soon be available for busl-aesa. This is the reason' for the purchase of the plot at 128 to 132 West NInteenth Street by Edward Jansen, who sold the property on the iame block to Mr. Alt- Th great demand for iron and steel Is tiring trouble to builders, who find It hard to get their supplies. One of them, who Is engaged In erecting some especially costly dwellings on the west side, is said to have been told that the Iron beams, which his specifications called for, could not be obtained, and he haa switched off to the tise of wooden beams Instead. Building Itnelf Is brisk, and many of the bouses engaged in the various building trades are itfusing new contracts, because they have their hand full.

I'ims which have been recently filed for new tenement flats with stores show that Jbe cost of structures of the kind on full kits ranges from $15,000 to The "'7 bulins; law requirements have not added aa much to the coat of such buildings as waa anticipated. As far as can be definitely learned, there la not much in the report that a ayndicate Mamie ready to pay from to aiMsa, (or the northwest corner Pin and Naa.au Streets, where the building of VfS, Vwior Clearing House is.

American electrical engineers are receiving large numbers of Inquiries from Japan about the most modern electrical appli ances.

An electric railway la about to'be laid between Tokio and Yokohama, with double rails throughout the whole: length or eignteen miles. The plans are prepared with great intelligence, and lt ia noticeable that every part of the installation is to be absolutely up to date. The trains, which wiu run every five minutes, will be made up of one car of the first, second, and third grade. The velocity being thirty miles an hour, the distance will probably ba covered in thirty-five to fortv mlnutaa A mi. senger will be allowed to alight at any uus um, bo ii wiu not i oe necessary to construct stations, except, Serhaps.

at such important places as It Is estimated that if nine passengers of tha lowest grade and three passengers of each of tha two higher grades be assumed to ride ln each train, and the number of trains per day be forty, between 6 A. M. and 11 P. a satisfactory profit will be secured even at a ten-cent fare for the lowest grade. The capital will! be 2 000,000 yen.

to be divided into 40.000 shares of 5 yen each. The yen ia the equivalent the silver dollar. An electric line from 0aka to Kioto, via Kobe, is also talked of. It woul3 accommodate a population of fully 2,000.000 people. The Japanese are great travelers.

They make long excursions over the country to visit the rhost sacred Buddhist temples and Shinto Shrines, and the roads are often thronged with whole families, making the round ef their pilgrimage. The electric lines would pick up many parties out on these trips of combined religion and pleasure. i The somewhat sensational reports ef the electrical explosions which occasionally reach the daily newspapers are not lost on the non-technical mind. A policeman lh a quiet country town noticed what appeared to be sparks issuing from the roadway in one of the principal streets. The intelligent officer came to the conclusion that thla strange phenomenon was due to an escape of electricity, and promptly Bent word to the locar electric 'light station.

One of the linemen went to make an inspection, and. whether he waa won over by the persuasive eloquence of the constable or deterred by good nature from disappointing the crowd which had congregated, he declared that the display was undoubtedly electrical. After this several of the byrtanders were able to obtain distinct shocks by simply touching the ground In the vicinity. The electrician decided that it was either1 a brush discharge "ora short circuit on the mains, which were about four feet below the surface at this point. The first hypothesis waa most generally accepted, but the question was finally settled with the aid of picks and shovels.

When the surface of the road waa broken up an ancient log of wood in the last stages of decay was -disinterred, but nothing else bearing on the matter, electrical or otherwise. The rotting wood had been no doubt saturated wtth animal refuse containing compounds of phosphorus, and the firework display waa caused by the spontaneous or possibly accidental Ignition of the gaaes thrown. off. The belief of the bystanders that they had been shocked aimply ahows that the Imagination of the average Individual is not to be trusted. i i Elwell haa come to the defense of the motorman.

Ha says that tha public little realise what the motorman haa to contend with. His position is as responsible aa that of the locomotive engineer, and every foot of his progress through a crowded street is shadowed with danger. He must not run into the car ln front of him that stops instantly, and he must avoid tha crash of the other in his rear. On all sides are wheelmen, hacks, carriages, and pedestrians, men and women, all Inspired with an Idea to get aa close to the car aa they can without being run over. From the side streets, cut off from the vision of the motorman.

carriages and wheelmen are constantly dashing with reckldsa speed. Bat the greatest fear, the one which taunts him In his dreams at night, and Is still wtth him at his post: of duty, is that of crusning tne uvea out or tne utile cutldren. whose parents are glad to have them out of the way. even if they are ln the streets where they have no right to be." When a cntid is run over, the motorman la blamed, but. Inconsistently' enouah.

no nubile cen sure attachea to the carelessness of the parents. I Fully one-half tha stories about Edison are evolved from the Imagination of the atory- teller; but the following Is vouch-d for by a member of the staff on which Edison waa working at the time! of the The prevailing belief about Edison Is that he waa. a great operator. As a matter of act, this Idea la entirely frronwn, for as a sending operator Edison was very- inferior. His draggy.

jumbled manipulation of the telegraph character rendered tha life of the receiver anything but pleasant- tidiaon worked In Memphis In lHrtrt, being assigned to the Jackson circuit, manned at that end by Tonr lialvln. well known aa a bfirht and talented operator. One day after atruggllng for half an hour la th attempt to decipher Edison's mangled' characters and being comnteiy pattence-worn. uaivtn turned in his chair, and, addressing hla companion, said: '-'Johnnie, lust listen to that stuff. Just listen After a paase of a moment or so.

he aided: Why that's Latin, and would take a Bishop and seventeen priests to read II." The telegraphic work In newspaper of fices la a supreme test of the staying powers of an and few women are equal to its requirements. It Is stated that there art only two female operators la the counf try who are regularly copying press dispatches on dally babera. Women ara almnlv unable to stand the nervous strain. When the telegraphers lost their strike some years ago women were largely put In their places. th.u fliii 1.1 t.
