There Is one great monument In this city that la horizontal and will perpetuate the memory of a man who Is very much alive. It Is the clean, white stretches of sand on the beaches of the south shore of Long Island and will always tell of the work at John McUaw Woodbury, who madu olean and white, says the New York Bun. When MaJ.

Woodbury came to the Job of Commissioner of the Department of Street Cleaning the beaches were a crime. They were littered with fragments of barrets, chips, kindling, waate paper, burlap, derelict trunks, decayed mattresses and all the Junk that the tide would bring In. Everything that would float contributed to the mess. It offended the eye and the nose. It was useless to clean the beaches, for the next tide would reap a fresh harvest.

The city was dumping Its waste at sea, not knowing anything better to do with It, and the light rubbish floated back to litter the beaches. It is now. The beaches are as clean as your hand. The stuff that lc cost money to carry out into the ocean and that came back as sure as fate has a new use. Instead of being a loss to the city It is a profit.

Three flaaeea of Waate. The waste of New York is divided into three classes garbage, ashes and rubbish. The garbage is now disposed of by Incineration at Barren Island. MaJ. Woodbjiry has rearranged the plant there, muking sanitary Improvements, and the city has received bids which will effect a saving of $400,000 a year.

The ashes, Instead of being dumped at sea, at a great cost for scows and tows, are being used to raise the lowlands of New York. In this line the most notable example Is Hiker's Island. In February. 1902, shortly after MaJ. "Woodbury took office, work was begun there.

The Commissioner secured, In addition to the city apparatus, the (lov-ernment dredge Hell Gate, the steam pump Hudson and the towboat Gen. Humphreys. The Hell Gate could unload four scows a day and the ashes taken from these were placed within the crib and washed into a position by a stream of alt water driven by the powerful pumps of the Hudson. "When the material reached a proper height it was covered by 18 Inches of earth taken from the Island. Valuable Land Redeemed.

Commissioner Woodbury's men have put behind the crib at Hiker's Island 4,609,722 cubic yards, redeeming 83V4 acres to the city. The value of the WE REBATE Railroad Pares to and from Buffalo.

"It seems to me," remarked a man who studies city economics, "that Woodbury has been going out of his proper district. He's only supposed to keep the streets clean, and he's also been keeping the beaches clean.

He's supposed to keep the bridges clean, and now he's taken to lighting them, too, and not charging the city for it. He's adding to the area of Greater New York also.

Paying Investment. When the arrangements are made that surely will be made with Woodbury at the helm the city will dispose of one-fifth of the garbage In this county at the mere cost of sending the stuff to Delancey street and will have the- bridge lighted free of cost. "What of the four-fifths that are now being used for filling in land?" was asked of Commissioner Woodbury the other day. "It can all be used as the fifth Is." he replied. "It can all be used to generate power for city use in various parts of the town.

The 'same idea can be applied all over Greater New York. It is no longer an experiment. It Is a proved fact." As the Sun safd on Thursday: "Here Is natural, legitimate ownership and operation not exploited as a political Issue." The city's Investment of $83,000 is bringing In $52,000 a year In the saving of towage and electric light bills. That Is 63 per cent, on the money Invested. More Work To Do.

There is still work for Woodbury to tancy naraware, including silver.

made land is nearly Jl.OOO.tKiO. That is not the end of the work at Riker's Island, t'pon the easterly end there is now being built a bulkhead of stone enclosing an area of 10 acres, the filling of which will be begun within a year and will be completed within four years, adding that area to Greater Sow York. i -In the borough" Of Brooklyn Commit-loner Woodbury has handled ashes and rubbish by a method not used in any other city in the world. The receiving stations which he established in the Borough of Brooklyn are so placed as to reduce the haul of the carts nearly 50 per cent, over the former method of haullnz to sunken lots on the outskirts, of the city. The material received at the stations Is hauled in large bins on trolley cars to the sunken meadows In the neighborhood of Coney Island Creek, where the land is being raised to a level of from five to six feet above high water mark.

About a million cubic yards of material is thus disposed of annually and in the last two years about SO acres of land have been reclaimed and made valuable property for the city. The filling of these low lands is to a large extent solving the mosquito problem In Brooklyn. The Rubbish. Problem. A portion of the rubbish received In Brooklyn Is now being destrowed in incinerators and In the course of a few months there will be deposited upon the lowlands nothing but The necessity for this change of system was forced upon the department by the great growth of the borough of Brooklyn and the completion of all of the landfills that were within hauling distance by cart and horse.

This system has made possible, without increasing the city equipment of horses, carts and men, a daily collection of the refuse of Brooklyn instead of the weekly or bi-weekly one as before, and it Is found that the short hauls over good roads have decreased the number of deaths of horses from 168 In 1902 to 1 in 1905. Other fills have been made in the Harlem River, notably the one upon which the boathouses now rest and the public recreation ground and athletic track under Macomb's Dam Bridge. This matter of ground filling is something that affects mere particularly the future of Greater New York. Vhat will appeal more strongly to the reader as being pertinent to the present day is the story of the rubbish problem as Woodbury has solved It. Rons Lighting Plant.

He was determined not only that the rubbish waste should not strew the beaches of Long Island, but that It should be put to some practical use. Sd in 1902 an incinerator was built at Forty-seventh street and the North River. The heat generated by burning this rubbish was used to develop electricity, with which he lighted stable of his department and the nlers In the vicinity. At the present day the burning of this rubbish not only lights the piers and the stable, but city receives $240 a week from contractors who save valuable paper and iron from the rubbish. The contractors, too, provide the stokers at the Incinerator.

A greater demonstration of, Woodbury's wisdom has come since then. This year he put into practical use the Idea that more rubbish could be used downtown. Under the Williamsburg Bridge a plant was constructed which consumes one-fifth of tbe daily output ofrobbish of the boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx. Bv private contract It would cost year to light the Williamsburg Bridge, with Us 150 arc lights and countless Incandescent bulbs. Big Sarina- la Money.

The energy produced by the burning of the 150 loads of rubbish which are carried to the plant under the bridge every day produces the WO horse-power necessary to light the bridge at a cost of practically nothing. The entire plant cost, jsa.584. The Interest on that is Ml a day. It disposes of rubbish which to dump at sea would coat J75 a day, and it produces light worth W0 a day. The city pays the salaries of three engine and six foremen.

It does not pay any part of the wages of the dozens of stokers who are busy piling rubbish Into tb furnaces. These are paid by the contractors, who are allowed to extract th serviceable staff from the rubbish. Th plant Is new. and the city has not floats to exact terms with these tat It tea certainty that when $1.00 Women's Ingrain Lisle-thread Hose 3 pairs in a gift box, for Children's 19c Double-knee heavy School Stockings do even with the plant under the i ware and clocks in ail designs and pat-bridge that has shown up so well.

All manner of toys for children are a sculptor began when, aa a boy of five irears, scarcely tall enough to reach up to the top of the kitchen table, he modeled little fingers In dough. Two years' later he discovered a hotter material for hlB purpoee. At that time a white-wax chewing gum was much In faehlon among children. Young MacMonnles aaved his odd pennies until he could buy what he wanted of It, and then be made from It an equestrian statue of George Washington, wtilch Is still among the family treasures.

When he was 20 years old Barnum's circus came to town. He was an enthusiastic ad-mJrer of the parade, and when the elephant appeared he became lntenae. He watched every motion and studied every line of the strange beast Then he rushed Into the house and, working aa fast as he could, modeled from memory a clay elephant, of which he need not be ashamed today. At 13 he carved a likeness of a pet bulllrog out of a Belgian paving block, with an Ice-pick for a chisel. GREATEST FURROW EVER DUG.

GRAND RAPIDS, Dec. 16. An unknown man, who Is betfved to have an Inmate of the Soldiers' Home, committed suicide in the cemetery connected with tbe Home by blowing: nil body Into bit with dynamite.

The total cube of excavation at the Culebra divide was estimated by Mr. John F. Wallace as 186.000.000 cublo yards for the sea-level canal and cubic yards for a canal with a 60-foot summit level. While in mere slie of excavation the cut through the Panama divide is by far the larsrer. the fact that the Noch-tstongo cut was made with absolutely no aid from machinery or mechanical power but wholly with human muscle, makes our task on the Isthmus seem like mere child's play In comparison with that accomplished by those patient tollers under the torrid sun of Mexico two centuries When one recalls that this deep artificial valley, more than 12 miles long, was all dug by the labor of Indians, who excavated the material with the crudest hand tools and carried it in baskets on, their heads to the place of anal deposit, the ffreat cut of Nochlstongo Is entitled to rank with the Pyramids of Egypt, among the world's greatest wonders.

dock at or near the foot of Delancey street the plant now In use at night could be used by day to do work that costs a deal of money. New bridges are being built and each must be lighted. There are still about 690 loads of rubbish for burning each day In Manhattan and The Bronx. That is more than enough to light both the new bridges. Every tlmo a load of rubbish Is burned In Manhattan the city not only saves the money that it would cost to send it In scows or by trolley to Long Island or New Jersey, but gains the value of the power that Its heat generates.

An Interesting Plaee. The plant under the bridge Is an interesting place, even if it didn't cost much. Its great chimney rises threateningly toward the span, but the smoke It emits is very little and white, a good smoke consumer Is In operation. The rubbish is dumped on a moving platform, which moves slowly, so slowly that the score of men beside it have time to pick everything that can be used bv the wrapping paper factories and the tin can reducers. What they leave Is fit to burn, and the laborers poke It Into the holes that lead to the furnace.

It Is a mighty hot furnace. If a thermometer wag down there It would register 8000 Fahrenheit. What Is consumed is best described by a report which Commissioner Woodbury once made to the Academy of Medicine: Bad Lot of Stuff. "This Is what, we are burning In the furnace beds arid bedding, mattresses, washatands and bureaus, boxes, barrels, everything, and you know quite as well as I do the type of mattress and bedding that comes to me from the tenement districts, soaked with disease, worn out, rotten -with typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, every sort of Illness or' pathological germ, that you know very well never comes to me at the dumps until it can be no longer handled anywhere else," It certainly Is a bad lot of stuff as It 1. and it points out, with illustrative cross-section views that the cut will be of an average depth of feet, above sea level, for five miles.

See, I put this bill in this little box and mix it -with 19 other boxes in my tray.

One box holds a 2 note; the others contain the best soap in the world to remove stains from clothing. Who'll be the first to try his luck!" The game went along merrily. The fakir was reaping dimes and nobody had captured the money prize. A ragged and disreputable chap crawled up to the try. "Here's the who can win it?" yelled the fakir as he shuffled the boxes once more.

The ragged man handed over a dime and thrust his fingers Into the coat sleeve of the fakir. He opened the little box he found there, and, sure enough, had a $2 bill. "I used to be in this business myself," the lucky man said. i aim norisva pureta un i li bow a lr lug leal lea treea. MEN AND WOMEN.
