Tn the crowded canyon of lower Broadway ihe site now lies open like a vale of air and eunshine in a line of beetling cliff. Theeffect is estraordinary. Everybody siould take a look. Jt seems im pity the <pace must be rebvilt—that a Carnegie cannot buy the ground and leave it free, The surrounding architectural giants look impressive inn before. The break improves the east side of Broadway as Trinity churchyard beautifies ihe west. When Borough President MeAneny proposed recently to limit height of buildings in Fifth avenve he pointed out that while semi-isolated skyscrapers may cach enjoy advantages of light, ip and even architeciural dignity, in solid masees they destroy each thers values and reduce the streets between tu deep, dark ditches. Rt will be a long time before Jower Brosdway begine to worry aesthetics. Business is preasing amd a place to transact it is first care. Before the Equitable site begins to disappear under Wome new fifty-story load of steel and marble, however, every one ld note the rare effect of the break in the famous Broadway . Perhaps there ie an idea in it. The ideal business dietrict the fuiure may be a checker-board of towering. monumental sky- with broad squares of green grass and flowers between, aatrenatients pliner erectus ! If somebody doesn't find a way pretty soon to let Oscar Ham merstein build an opera house or give an opera, something is going to bust. _aneeeene oe THE FATHER OF GOOD ROADS. S" ANTY-SIX YEARS ago to-day died a man whose peculiar fate it was to leave a name which hae mingled with the dust and been trodden under foot in unique fashion—to ite owner's Pronor and renown. Yet while every one talke of “macadam” and macadamized” roads. not one person in a thousand has ever heard ‘Phe full name of John Loudon Macadam, Scotchman, born in 1756, the greatest road reformer of modern times. He came of a good Ayrshire family in moderate circumstances, nd when fourteen years old was sent to the office of an uncle who ‘wee @ merchant in New York. Young Macadam remained here for s of years and during the Revolution did a thriving business an agent for the sale of prizes. ‘Nhe outcome of the war left him ly penniless. He returned to Great Britain, where for many greets he held various amall but honorable county offices. a trastee aot roads in Ayrshire he turned over in his mind various echemes for bettering the road system of the Ufited Kingdom, and afterward, ‘when he was sppointed surveyor of Bristol roads, he carried out many ot his plans nt his own expénee. The main feature of ‘his road-making process was to form a bed af fragments of hard stone, none of which should be too large to paes Rhrough an iron ring two and half inches in diameter. This atone was to be from eix to twelve inches thick, covered with a surface material, and left to be worn into compactness and othness by the action of the wheele and hoofs that passed over it. Macadam was.eixty when he got hie eoheme fairly started, bnt he ed it with such:energy that before he died the whole country had his system. Parliament voted him a grant of two thousand ounds (%10,000) and reimbursed ‘him for some five thousand more hich he had spent out of his own pocket in experiments. He refused t knighthood. He died Nov. 26, 1836, in his eighty-first year. \ Stone crushers and steam rollers have supplanted his more prim- Etive methods. Yet the nineteenth century and the present aa well owe to Macadam ‘those solid principles of country road building which {hardly more than a hundred years ago began to offer relief from the Incredible joltings and bemirings thet made travel by road a horror in the good oh’ days.” > Battered fellow prisoners will testify that a “Lefty Louie” re- mains much the seme—out of jail or in. wr ‘What Dees Small Head Imply? “te the Mittor of The Hrening World: Wil some physiognomist advise me?
