NEW YORK SKY-SCRAPERS...

The transformation, in a few years, of the fat, low-lying city that New York. used to be, into the castellated town it now appears is considered a remarkable evolution." The Scientific American calls the view "one of the most, marvelous spectacles in the world." Chicago began the building of kyscrapers, but New York has far outstripped the Western metropolis, and now leads the cities of the world in the number and height of its all buildings, although some of them are more notable for height than for beauty. Says The Scientific American

"Architecture of the composite steel-and- masoury, type has helped to solve the most difficult problem with which New York City is confronted. The shape of the island is such that a business centre such as that represented in our engravines has no possibility of calarg ing its borders, being shut in by the broad waters of the Hudson and East rivers. If room was to be found for the rapidly multiplying.. financial interests which gravitate to the district lying between City Hall Park and the Battery, it could only be secured in a vertical direction by building story upon story and utilizing that free space to whose occupation there was no limit except such as might be ime posed by conditions of a structural and operative kind. The fimit to the height of these buildings has been determined indeed far more by the conditions of their operation than by any difficulties of a structural kind; since it would be perfectly practical to co struct office buildings 500 or 600 feet in height, If there were any advantage in so doing. It was found, however, that the space occupied by elevators became so great, when a building exceeded a certain number of stories in height, as to reduce very seriously the available office floor space, and by common cotisent it seems now to be agreed that the limit of economic height lies somewhere between sixteen and twenty sto.ies."

'THE GERMAN EMPEROR.

We wonder if the deep Teverence for the Royal authority which used to mark the Prussian has, as the King seems to imagine, really declined. It was believed throughou «Europe until he spoke that it had not, that ali Germans recognised in their Emperor a ma of genius, admired his intense vitality, and were hopeful that his projects would in the end make then citizens of a richer land. Foreig ners thought that in Germany there was one popular man, and he gamupied the throne. It is the Emperor himself who doubts it, however, and there are some sigs to be quoted in lavour of his opinion. There can be no doubt that the suffering of the landlord class, which has been almost as grest in many districts as the same suffering in the same class in some Eug: lish counties, has made the ancient supports of the throne impatient and iritable, especially in considering a world-policy, which, as they clearly see, if it benefits anybody, will benefit commercial men and not themselves. The peasantry, though their interests, are not quite identical, share the landlords' prejudices, ašis evident from the number of Agrarians returned by them to the Reichstag. On the other hand, the mercantile and manufacturing Masses. with the workers who depend on them, and who ought to be the counterpoise of the Agrarians, are cruely disappointed. They were all to be curiched by industry and speculation" and worldwide protected by a splendid fleet," and prices are going down, down, till great banks have been endangered, all shareholders in in dustrial undertakings feel poorer, and wages are kept down forcibly to their existing point, which is far from a high one. Private expenditure diminishes in Germany, work diminishes, profits diminish, and all the while the Government demands more ships, taxation goes up always, and Count von Bulow pledges himself that there shall be higher duties on food. There is a general sense of malaise, which embodied itself in Prince Bismarck's (Count Herbert von "Minarck's) cry for the "return of our millions as well as our legions," and which, no doubt, strengthens the hands of German Socialists, as well as those Liberals whose complaint is not of this or that project, but of the inferior position of the people in the national life, of prosecution for 2sc majast, and of the partial extinction of freedom in teaching, whether from the professor's desk or through the Press.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1901.

An old Swedish politician, late member of the First Chamber, told me, in support of this, that, during a conversation with a Russian minister in Stockholm he was told by the latter that the Russian general staff actually bad prepared a plan of invasion of northern Norway from Sweden. When Archangelsk has been fortified, he frankly admitted, and some other strategic preparations carried out, the time would perhaps have come for action, and Sweden be confronted by the outlook of having its northern frontier removed down to the river Lulca.......

unquestionably itint the Russian Government The unprovoked coercion of Finland proves hopes, by goading the Finns into acts of dis loyalty, to gain a pretext for flooding the country with troops. And what will happen when some border dispute with Sweden and Norway, or some other cause for interference, has been arranged-and Russia is an old hand at this sort of game...is easily conceived;"

RUSSIA AND SCANDINAVIA,

Writing in the London Anglo-Russian, 'a paper which claims to be the voice of Russian public opinion.condemned to silence in that country itself," M. Lounbeck quotes Dr. Anion Nyström, the Swedish politician, who says:-

It is known that Peter the Great exerted himself to gain access to the Baltic in order that Russia, might become a European state and cease to be an Oriental one. The Baltic, however, was at the commencement of his reign a Swedish-inland sea, and so, to get his desired window toward the west,' Peter must needs somewhere make a break in the Swed- Ish possessions. He succeeded, owing to the foolhardiness of Charles XII, laid the foun- dations of his new capital at the outlet of the Neva, and erected for its protection the fortress of Cronstadt By and by, during his reign, the Swedish provinces of Livaniz, Esthonia, and Ingermanland, with a portion of Hachez, H. Finlaud, were brought under his sway, and Hong, P. V. thus a large part of the Baltic shores became H. K. Amateur Photo Russian. But here Ruasia has been compelled

Club, to stop short, and all her efforts to acquire in Hinderkoper, J. the south the fervently desired 'window' to- Hooley, P. F. G. ward the Mediterranean-Constantin ple- Havermeyer, F. C. have been in vain. To be sure, Russia has an Huby, G. outlet froin Archangel through the White Sea, Harrison, Mrs. P. and from Port Catherine in the farthest north, Hamilton, Mrs. H. to the Polar Sea and the Atlantic, but these tallard, F. J. ports are eliber, not navigable during the long Houshi, S. winter months, or, as in the case of the latter Harrison, R. one, almost totally cut off from communication Heacock, A overland. The immense, empire has thus, for Hay, Rev. M. E. all practical purposes, only one marine out- Hark, G. let to the west through the Baltic-and this Hall, B.. too would probably be closed to her in case Hendersen, W. L. of war. In fact, the position of Russia is be- Heaney, Mrs. coming critical in this quarter, so long as Hawler, W. L. her policy, aima at conquests. The near- Hakata, C. est peal for her in Europe is evidently the Hykes, C. W. enormous, increase of the German navy, which Ingold, F. last year numbered 96 war-ships, including 19 Jones, c/o Councel. large, ronclads, in addition to 140 torpedo Johnson, vessels. The German fleet, already formidable, Johnson, C. E. is growing moza powerful every year since the Jeffries, Rev. M. Reichstag, In Jung Inst, voted the necessary Joasiano, B. money for doubling the war squadron in seven. Jor, A. (Sailor) years. The estimates for this increase Jenkins,.C. M, amounted last year to 168,000,000 marks; Jannot In 1907, they will be 266,000,000.

Kirkpatrick, M. C.

The German, navy has for some years al-Kinn, C. H ready been numerically stronger than the Kelper, G. Russian in the Baltic besides, it is in afar. Rotowell, R.H. superior condition. That, it would be able in case of war to prevent the Russian fleet from feaving the Baltic is a fear which for some time back has haunted. Russian politicians, And more zenly than ever do they feel the want of ao fce-free naval port outside the Baltic waters But where is such a port to be found? 5-

There can be no doubt that for a long time past the splendid Ofoten Flord (lat. 68 N., long, 16" E) in Norway has been the dearly coveted place.
