It was designed and constructed, except for the rough labor, by Japanese, the designer being Mr. Shlota, one of the Japanese landscape architects in the United States.

The irarden was built entirely without expense to the city through the generosity of Alfred T. White, chairman of the Committee on Botama Garden of the Brooklyn Institute. I well-known Japanose art crltlo on Visiting It, pronounced the garden the most beautiful and artistically arranged of any similar garden he had aeen In America. A torli, a sort of perch for sacred birds, which, in Japan, always Indicates the approach to a temple, stands in the water of the lake a few feet from shore, on the rise of which is situated the temple, built of California redwood, without nails.

Vd PRESIDENT UNDERWOOD of the Erie Railway has revived an idea that is not new, but it offers a complete solution to the traffic problem In the United States.

He proposes that the rate of fare for passenger travel be reduced to 1 cent a mile and that the freight rates be increased at least 20 per cent. When Thomas Scott was president of the Pennsylvania Railroad I had ft long interview with him at his office in Philadelphia on this subject, and he made the Identical suggestion. He said the railroat of the country, in densely settled regions, made the mistake of trying to pay dividends from their freight traffic instead of employing every means to develop "human freight." That xras his term. He waxed warm over the idea. "Here we are straining every nerve h'10' ciunai'lfrlli''.

It handle itself! It loads Itself into the car and unloads Itself. With reasonable care, proper courtesy, efficiency in keeping time schedules and the beat of accommodations, our road ought to do three times the passenger business It does. Do not misunderstand me. I mean all the trunk lines roads that start somewhere and end somewhere ought to much more than double their passenger traffic! Hundreds of thousands of people In thl country want to travel and are deterred therefrom by the high rates. Owing to the competition between the trade centers, much of the mprcantlle freight is carried either at a loss or without profit to the railroads.
