The Champion Electric Sign.
The biggest electric sign in the
world is hung on the western expo
sure of a building at Spring and Mnc
dougal streets, New York. Flashing
its light across the Hudson, this sign
may bo read miles away on the New
Jersey side, and so deceptive are its
dimensions to those in Jersey or the
millions that cross the river by .day
and night that few realize the area
over which the glittering letters are
distributed. The initial “B” is sixty
eiglit feet high. This approximates
the height of an ordinary five stbry
building. The smaller letters c< im
pietlng the word are fifty feet b gh,
en tTH’nexTin- curel'iiis e n
'lar line at least four ordinary sroi ids.
The letters are five feet wide, an I a
full grown man could almost lie dtavn
between the edges. About 1,400 .fee
trie lights are used for the iliun jna
tion—this approximating the number
of lights used in the entire illumina
tion of many small towns. It requires
practically all the time of one man to
replace the burned out lamps, and it
is interesting to watch film as he
works upon his swinging scaffold,
hundreds of feet in the air at times.—
New York Post.
A New Problem.
It is reported that more than 1,000
Hindoos have crossed the Canadian
border into the state of Washington
recently and have become competitors
in the labor market of the state. Men
of their race, who present a strange
and curious type to most Americans,
may be seen at work now on the rail
roads of California. They are made
conspicuous even at a distance by
their turbans. A gang here and there
makes an impression on the traveler
without being noticeable because of its
size. But there is a population of
294,301,000 in India, an area of 1,700,042
square miles, as against a population
that is probably considerably less than
400,000,000 on an area of 1,532,420
square miles in China, and a popula
tion of 47,000,000 on an area of 147,055
■ square miles in Japan.—Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.
Vanishing Old London.
The “Old Curiosity Shop,” ;n Ports
mouth street, and other contiguous
property leading into Lincoln’s Inn
Fields, are being demolished, the free
hold having been sold, and a block of
business premises will bo erected. The
quaint looking building, which has had
a great fascination for American tour
ists, is said to be more than 300 years
old, dating back to the ear!-,- days of
James 1., but the fact has never been
established that this was the “Old
Curiosity Shop” Immortalized by Dick
ens. The lucrative attraction of the
name of the great humorist will there
fore come to an end, but the tenants
of the shop have received compensa
tion and will carry on their printing
business in Great Queen street.— Pall
