THE TALK OF THE DAY
Skyscrapers are typically American, and havecome to stay. But Manhattan's Superintendent
of Buil.lings ixpresses a strong hostility to skytigns as dangeroua and unwarranted. And hisenmity seems to be Inspired by prudence andJudgment.
The Filipino Is reported as not hostile to theschool teachers, there being between eight hun-dred and nine hundred abroad !n the Islands,
distributed among five hundred different places,
r.«\niy half of which are unoccupied by VnitedStates troops, the good will of the inhabitantsbeing the teachers' only protection. That they
are treated well ia a sign that the Filipino wel-comes them and Is mindful of the value of their
services. Their old teachers were the friars,
who absorbed all their lands, laid intolerabletuxes on them, and In the end taught them noth-ing worth knowing. The American schoolmas-ter and schoolma'am belong to another type ofInstructor, and a better one.
Large automobile stables are to be built Boon
!n this borough. That Is one of countless
Indications of the marvellous expansion of themanufacture and use of self-motors. It should
not be forgotten that in the construction ofthese stables radical economies in space can bepractised. These new barns will need no hay-lofts, no oatblns and no corn chests.
Buried here! Pooh! It will be time enough
for the boss to talk about such things a dozenor two years hence. F6r the present he Is very
much on the top of the ground, though at fulllength.
and nobody willdie. Of course, captious criticsat once tried to pick flaws in this prediction,
and one of them, "The Kansas City Journal,"
did sums on its mvn account, and came out with
the assertion that the world wouldn't hold somany people, and that thf soil could not pro-duce food enough to support them. But Peter-
son made short work with this rash doubterby doing much bigger sums, which proved that
he was exactly right. HeS i<i«s, <"»°d had re-venled the whole thing to him. and M was little
less than blasphemous for "The Journal" toboggle over little details. It had brought up
the estimate of Mulhall. a mere worm of theearth, with no divine gift of prophecy, to the
effect that it requires right and one-third acresof land to support a single perBO The ab-surdity «.f such a dry-as-dttSt statement! Why,
Peterson himself knows a family of eleven per-
sons near Atchlson who have made a living
for many years on a garden patch of twelve
acn s. and they have money enough to wearstore clothes and go to tho circus. To this "The
Journal" can only weakly reply that "Itis not
"fair to make tho glorious fertility of Kansas
"a basis for an estimate of the world's produc-
tivity"—amere nppeal to local State pride.
Thus the matter stands at present. Petersonhas predicted a general resurrection for 1915,
and no matter how his prediction may be re-eelved, no one can say that he Is a false prophet
for nt least thirteen years, lie has evidently
got hold of the right Idea In the prophet busi-ness, which is to put all predictions far enough
ahead to Insure some years of unciimmed fame.
That is where the Populists In the first Bryancampaign made their mistake ns prophets. They
predicted certain immediate disaster if Bryan
was defeated, and thus, after a few brief weeks
of glory, sank into obscurity. Peterson applies
sound business principles to prophecy.FORElGN.— Another force of Boers to fight\u25a0 their countrymen ts being; organised ===== Fur-- ther plans for the ceremony of the departure of

NOTES OF SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON.Washington. Jan. 25 (Special).-The last week wai
on« of the gayest of the season. At the White
House there were several large receptions and din-
ner parties. Uptown there was a serin of dances,
dinners and receptions for young people and otherentertainments for the oiler act». Dinner givln*
still holds its popular place in entertaining at
Washington. Next week thera will be four big
dances, including the Century CoUIIOB to-morrow
evenlns. the second ladies 1 subscription danca at
the New Willard and others. There seems to be
no limit to the sayetles this year, and Instead of
looking for a cessation of the entertaining \u25a0» the
next few .weeks, leaders of society are inclined to
believe that the season will continue bright at least
until the. end of February- Certainly the height «f
the season here willnot be reached for three weeks.

AT PARK RO^Y ASH MAILHT.Itis creditable to the people of this city that
while suffering msntfoM annoyances from thedipping of the rapid transit tunnels they havemade few nomplainta. The general public atti-
tude has been one of exemplary patience, and\u25a0we trust the contractors appreciate the fact.On the whole, they have seemed to be reasonably considerate, and there Is no reason to doubtthe official statement that they arc ahead oftime with their work. InIts early stages TheTribune expressed a hope that the Inevitableafflictions incident to Its progress would heamiably borne, In view of the benefits to fol-low, and also because the enterprise was notforced on the community, but undertaken inresponse to nn overwhelming demand. Weshall not be suspected, therefore, of encourag-ing unjust Complaints when we sny that ninny
persons are sure that they del,ct here and theren gfewtag disposition on the part of sub-con-traetoie to abuse their privilege*, and that suchm tesjdmry. if it raeUy exists, needs to besharply checked.
Patrick Is now on trial. The Jury hns beensecured with eouwnendablo promptness. MoM-neux Is to be tried again hereafter. But In thoPatrick trial, in the Molineux prosecution. Inany of the notable criminal contests whichare to lie settled In the term of the present Dis-trict Attorney there willbe no such reckless de-mands upon the city treasury as prevailed underMr. Phllbln's predecessor.
What an Hinnzine quantity of money, too, wnsWasted l>y Mr. Philhin's predecessor on poultry"experts" In handwriting, and upon wellnlgbevery conceivable kind of extravagance In courtproceedings which a district attorney could im-pose upon a long suffering community. Itis notto be expected that Mr. Jerome will try to ran-sack the universe in efforts to surpass everyprecedent In unbridled expenditure upon crim-inal canes. Mr. Gardiner plunged both armsinto the municipal treasury, not only up to theelbows, but even to the shoulders, and rolled upbills in the Molineux case ns Ifhe were bent onthe creation of a vacuum In the city's strongbox. No one ever doubted the personal honestyof the most eccentric nnd whimsical publicprosecutor In the history of this county. Buthe was (such a spendthrift with the publicfunds that sensible citizens were perplexed nndindignant.
.4 CHANGE FOR. THE BETTER,
The Patrick Jury was brought together withno Immoderate detaj-n. Ex-District Attorney
Gardiner opens wide eyes of wonder. When hewas the public prosecutor Inthis county, gettinga trial Jury In n much bruited murder case wasa task like that of Sisyphus
—over and ovor
again the heavy stone fell back after it hadbeon pushed the hill with painful endeavor.Hut the fault in those days lay largely in thernismansigoment of the office of which Tiunmanyheld the key«. How Plow and fe« iile. was theadministration of the great bureau whenpotttlea] pulls and Intrigues governed theenforcement of the laws, and the failures tr>punish the men who laid grimy hands upon thevery horns of the altar of justice were so fr'*-qilelitI
TEE EAGLES SPAN.The purchase of theDanish West India Islands
willnot greatly add to the area or to the popula-
tion of the poaseeskms of the UnitedStates, suchadditions as it does make in those respects will,
however, make up in quality for what they lackIn quantity. So far as the islands are susceptible
of cultivation, they are amazingly productive.One of them affords one of the finest harborsIn all the Antilles, and the Inhabitants are In-telligent and thrifty folk, worthy of high esteem.
The acquisition of tho Islands will, however,
In one respect notably enlarge the scope ofAmerican possessions. It will carry our ex-treme easterly boundary many miles furthertoward sunrise, nnd thus Increase the already
enormous span of the- wor!d"s longitude underthe Amerieau flag. From the eastern extremityof Santa Cruz, In longitude 64 deg. M4mm. west
from Greenwich, to the western edge of Bala-bac, lalongitude 117 deg. 3 mln. east of Green-Wie!*, is a span of ITS deg. 2'i mm. of longi-
tude, leaving only 181 deg. •"." mm. of the cir-cuit of the frlobe unspanned. That is a stu-
pendous extent of empire. It Is surpassed bythe British Empire, of course, upon which truly
"the sun never Bets." Theoretically the SpanishEmpire once encircled tho globe. But no other
domain in modern or In ancient times has evenapproached such dimensions ns those of theVnited States and its possessions.
According to the books, the bald, or Ameri-can, eagle has a span of wing of seven or eight
feet. According to the maps, the Americaneagle seems to have a ppan nearly half roundthe biggest part of the world.
Whether or not It would be wise to require
additional reforms is ;i question which theState Kailroad Commission will undoubtedly
consider. Mr. Rives having confirmed the opin-
ion recently expressed by The Tribune, that the<ity bad forfeited Us power to exercise compul-sion In this matter, the responsibility of the Al-bany authorities is increased. Several sugges-
tions have been made concerning the tunnelwithin the la*t few weeks which ought to becarefully weighed. One is to Introduce venti-lating fans. Another Is to reduce the speed andshorten the blocks. A third is to allow onlyone train at a time in the Tunnel. But whetherany of these are appr"\ed by the commissionor not. the railway company should not be per-
mitted to be too dilatory In initiating the meas-ures which it has itself already promised.
THE TUNNEL DISASTER.The coroner's Jury which has been listening
for a fortnight to explanations of the recent dis-aster in the tunnel above Forty-second-st. couldnot well have rendered any other verdict than
that u|K>n which it po promptly agreed. Engi-
neer "VYisker ran past the slg,mln because they
were tfbscured. That state of things was not
his fault, nor was it exceptional. It was shown
that other engineers had done precisely thesame thing, and for this same reason, for yearspast, though fortunately with a different result.To place the responsibility elsewhere than onthe corporation which controls the tunnel, andwhich was perfectly familiar with the situationthere, -would have been illogical and unjust.
The righteousness of this judgment was con-
fessed In advance when, a few days ago, theCentral announced Its plans for tunnel reform.These do not contemplate any material im-provement in the system of signalling, nor a
stricter discipline of disobedient employes. They
are directed solely to the elimination of thesmoke and Pteam which caused the collision ofJanuary S. Satisfied at last that public opinion
would not tolerate the conversion of the tunnelInto an open cut. the company has decided to
employ electricity for motive pur]>oses. «»nlypartial relief will be afforded at first, but thiswillbe sufficient to make a conspicuous change
in the visibility of the signals, which Is th<»nrlmc essential.
be precisely \u25a0iniquitous," but it is certainly un-reasonable as well as unnecessary.
PETERKOV THE PROPHET.We hava not been able to learn Peterson's
given name, nor what ia his mundane business,if he has any. Our esteemed contemporariesof Kansas which have chronicled his sayingsand doings with true Homeric simplicity referto him only as Teterson the Prophet of Atchi-son. That Is enough. The world needs not toknow more, for always and everywhere thelittle ephemeral details regarding a great manare lost tOKht of in the loom of history, and thedoer lives only in the deed. Sutlicient for theworld that a prophet has arisen in Kansas whopredicts thlnps in a large, breezy way that putathe best efforts of the old Roman augurs de-cidedly in the shade. Peterson appears, too, atan opportune moment; for BOCkless "Jerry"Simpson has disappeared from public view,Mrs. Lsaas has ceased to be a stateswoman, andMrs. Nation is no longer able to secure even atwo line reading notice. Moreover, the pro-phetic office In Kansas Is practically vacantsince the Populist prophets of disaster are nowtoo busy making money to do any more pre-dicting. The stage Is thus cleared for v newman, and, behold, he appears!
As in the case of all great prophets, Peter-son's predictions shade off Into th« fascinatingdomain of the mysterious and the unknown.But the thing that stands clearly out Is thatIn the year 1915 all tho dead will return tolife, which will mnke the population of theworld to be in round numbers i.'52,000/H)0,00O.We have not ourselves figured Itout, but that Iswhat Peterson says, and what Peterson saysgoes. When this wholesale resurrection is ef-fected, we are furthermore Informed by Petersonthat the- population of the world willremain «ta-tionary at this figure, since nobody will be bom
STILL QRKATBR BBIPB.The huge ('•\u25a0ltic, one of the biggest levlathnna
ever launched, is t,» be Burjiassr>«i hy a ntillbigger vessel, the Oedric. .At ].>«<«t current re-port says so. Are steamships n furlong inlength to be excelled by Titanic bulks morethnn an eighth of a mile from stem t" Bteraand proportionately wide and deop? What Isto be the limit of ambitious shipbuilding? Thelargest of ships now on the se,-is ,-ire Boatingcities, marvellous not only In size, but iii thecosmopolitan types of their occupants, In thediversity of the countries, tribes and raceswhich are represented, in the bewildering arrayof the activities and industries which are inprogress while the voyages are under way, Intho complexity and ingenuity of the machinerywhich is constantly employed, in the numberand importance of the departments of adminis-tration, In the efficiency of the discipline main-tained among the armies of officers and men, Intho unremitting vigilance and the precaution!against possible disaster— these mighty hullswhich cross the Atlantic almost with the pre-cision and accuracy of the movements of a goodchronometer.
Now wo are told that even greater Bteamahinaare to be constructed for the Atlantic ferry.Floating cities we have already, and superbthey are. Are we to see hereafter tiontlng re-publics and kingdoms?
Santos-Dnmont and Sir Hiram Maxim havealready signified their intention to participateIn the exhibition and contest. No two foreign-
ers now living have done so much to advancethe art of aerial navigation witliin the last tenyears ns they. Their participation in the St.T.ouls enterprise, therefore, Is particularly gritl-fying. It certainly looks as Ifthis feature ofthe exposition would be much more striking andrepresentative than any similar collection andset of tests that the world has yet seen.
The propositloa to devote 1200,000 to prisesin this one department looks at first like ex-travagance. Certainly th*« sum is all out of pro-portion to the practical value of aeronautics.Material civilization might be more effectuallypromoted in a dozen different ways, Itwoulddo a vast amount of good, for Instance, to offerthat amount of money for Improvements Inautomobiles. The managers, of the exposition,however, doubtless have more regard for itspopular and nuanclal success than for the en-couragement of useful invention, pure nnd Aim-pie. Such v policy may expose them to criti-cism, but they are profiting by the txptrl*ence of Paris nnd Buffalo. Races betweenflying machines will undoubtedly prove a re-munerntlve attraction, and will help to avertthe deficit which It might otherwise b*> tie..-,
sary to face.
An admirable beginning has been made Inselecting experts to take charge of this depart-ment of the show. Professors Langley and Belland Octave Chanute have been invited to serve,and there is said to bo a good chance of theirconsenting, though Itis possible that ProfessorHell may prefer the role of an exhibitor.Though best known, of course, as the inventor
of the telephone, he has loup felt a lively inter-est in aerial navigation, and has devised manyoriginal forms of kites. Professor Langley hasprobably Investigated the principles of flightwith the aeroplane more thoroughly than anyother livingman. Mr. Chanute was educatedas an engineer, but has for a dozen years ormore been engaged In much the same rlnssof experiments as Llllenthal. ItIs reported thatim attempt has also been made to secure theco-operation of M. Deutsch. He is better known;!s ipatron of aeronautic science than as <i stu-dent of its problems, but his munificence haswon him worldwide fame, obviously, men ofsuch experience and standing as these are ex-cellent guarantees of the character of Mr. Skiffsproject.
A ERONA UTIC CONTESTS.That ti» a strong array of names which the
Western press Is using in connection with thescheme to make flying machine races a con-spicuous feature of the Louisiana Purchase F.x-position next year at St. Louis. Mr. Rkiff, di-rector of exhibits, with whom the idea origi-nated, was prominently identified with the man-agement of the world's fairs of IS'.W and i'.">o.
The energy and fairness with which h<> per-
formed his duties in both Chicago and Pariswon him golden opinions. Equally notable washis resourceful way of meeting unforeseenemergencies.
of the City Hall to a point Just north of thePostofflce a solid barricade extends nlonff theexcavation. Tliis would be quite Inconvenientrnoush If at the lower end of Itthere were afree and spacious juissajje for the use of per-Fona on foot. But there is nothlnp of the sort.The only crossing is hy way of the east endof Mall-Ft. The width of this has been re-duced one-half, and It Is frequently crowdedwith mall wacons and other vehicles, whilen line of streetcars moving swiftly or stalledin close order further complicates the situa-tion. This conditiooi of tilings is not merelyinconvenient in an excessive depree, but dan-gerous. Itis also inexcusable, inasmuch as itinifrht easily be improved. At the point wherethe crossing from tho corner of the TimesBuilding ordinarily connects with the broadwalk through tho City Hall Park a bridge inthe form of a stout gangway with well pro-tected M<los ought to be laid over the excava-tion, a sulllclent opening inthe timber barricadehaving been made for the purpose. It wouldcost about S'J'i. we suppose, and it would notinterfere in the slightest degree with the tunnelwork, the City Hall section of which, by th«way, seems to be making extremely slow prog-ress. Ifwhoever is in authority there thinksthat the difficulty and peril to which we invitehis attention are trivial matters ho can readilyconvince himself that he is mistaken.
