The atmosphere was remarkably clear, the sun going down with a red afterglow which tinged tho heavens with a diversity of colorings. 1 saw tho sky line of Manhattan, Jersey, the 'Statue of Liberty. Staton Island, tho Narrows, Governor's Island and tho East River Bridges. I saw a multitudo of passing Ships, and as tho sun disappearedand fell myriads lights appeared and a veritable fairyland was spread before us. Most conspicuous of tho Illuminations, I thought, was the light on tho Seamnn's Church Institute, the reflection of which upon the water was like unto that the silvery moon. L. C.

This morning as I was crossing 39th Street on my way to business I noticed an Italian peddler a man, I should say, about fifty years old. He turned the corner at Seventh Avenuq on Ihe run, dragging his two-wheel- cart behind him. Racing after him, now about fifteen yards In tho rear, was a young (his number 10484) of the 23d Precinct. This caught up with the man and grabbed him by tho arm and wrist. Ho started twisting tho wriBt, causing tho peddler to lose hold of tho cart and spilling the fruit Into tho gutter. It seemed to the writer that tho policeman exerted more pressure than he Intended, for tho poor fellow's arm hung limp and he began to moan nnd cry with pain. Ho could not lift the arm. I would not be sur- prised if a bone had snapped. This, I suppose, did not end tho affair: 'most likely somo has handed tho man a fino for being with- out a license. M. Waters, No. 48 West 98th Street. roon In the wooded section of New York at the tip of the island y I saw a gorgeous butterfly winging frantically ahead of me. Then I saw It was pur- sued by n hornet. Again and again the hornet darted down on tho butterfly's back. Tho butterfly quivered under the hornet's sting and palpably grow weaker. Then, after another attack, It fell to the grass. I ran to see what had happened and thcro I found It spread on the grass. Its wings flutter- ing feebly, while nlready tho hornet had begun to devour It. A. A. T., No. 21 East 40th Street.

My husband stepped out to remon- - trate with a crowd of tough boys (they're not really tough, but they would like to have people think they are) who .were annoying a neighbor- hood shopkeeper and, I am sorry to say. using very bad languago to her with abuse about as foul, my husband collared ono of the boys. \Do you talk like that before your own mother?\ he demanded. \What would you do If some other boy used that kind of talk beforo your mother and slster7\ I'd bust him in the snoot!\ saia tne tough\ kid.

A policeman, a big fellow, offered to help. Imagine an ele- phant stepping on a peanut or a pile-driv- er descending on a charlotte ru.ise. That's what happened to tho hazel nut when tho cop stepped on It. The little fellow whs about to cry from disap- pointment, but the cop was a good one.

Then there were three women and fhf boss. He appeared to be nn goodrnaturid man. One of the ujometi teas unusually large. I thought she was the mother of the children.

In the lot next to my apartment house I saw three small boys gathered about a washboller In which they had built a tire. It looked safe enough but a policeman ordered them to put out the (ire. He came Into the lot and dumped the blazing pieces of wood on the grass. The boys watched with angry faces, but suddenly they began lumping with glee. The dry grass In the lot had caught tire, it spread rapidly In every direction. The boys and the policeman tried to stamp It out In vain.

OUT OF TOWN WITNESS NO. 2 IS A YONKERS MAN. I saw a meek little fcushcart peddler, his wagon loaded with Bart-le- tt pears, hurrying along 39th Street west of Seventh Avenue. Mak- ing apparently all the Bpeed possible, In view of his load, ho came around the Seventh Avenue corner followed by an athletic looking young cop, who ran without difficulty. In tho middle of the block our young minion of the law headed the llttlo peddler off and, without warning, smashed him In the face. Then he twisted the poor fellow's wrist until the hand hung limp and useless. The peddler, abjectly weak, cowered and begged the ofllcer not to hit him again. By this time the cart was and the pears scattered in the street. The policeman, holding tho peddler by the neck, dragged him into a store, apparently to wait for a patrol wagon. The pears were left to the tender mercies of 39th Street. R. O. Bllllngham, No. 85 Wlckes Avenue, Yonkers. THEnE'S AN ELECTION ON TI1L, WAY.

Yesterday afternoon a beautifully marked pigeon alighted on the window 111 of our offlco on the sixteenth floor of the building at No. 104 Broad Street and, although showing timidity when pprosched by humans, apparently had no desire to leave. A glass of water was brought and the bird drank of it. We observed that its legs and feet were en tangled in a mass of fibre suggesting a air net. Ten minutes later the Dira ntered the room and fled to one of the windows on the court side. Here it was captured with little dllllculty and steps taken to make It free and nappy again. oalr of sharD scissors removed tne ntanglement from its legs and it was returned to the open window For fully minute the pigeon remained there ap parently giving all of us a grateful once over. Then It flew away. Oiyan aluml- - um tag 'fastened to one leg we reao SS 78 1321.\C. D. Fchunck. No. 210 Albemarle Road, Brooklyn. UNTIL THE II. It. T.

Yesterday while I sat at the win- dow I heard a loud rattlety-clat-tlety-ba- noise and saw an auto- mobile pass with a washboller fast- ened to the back of it. The boiler, tiled with flowers, was dragging along the roadway. My conclusion was that the passengers were newly-wed- s. The noise was more annoying than that made by the bell of the roomon and far from musical, Miss E. M. Franks, No. 18 First Place, Brooklyn. AND THEN Hi; CAME TO.

A LESSON FOR THE VI IYER- - While sitting on the upper tier at ths Brighton Beach Swimming Pool I studied a party of about twenty deal mutes, evidently from some Institution. The party Included men, women, boy and girls. Whenever a race was won by one of the contesting mermaids tha visitors would burst Into a perfect \babel\ of conversation. They would nod their heads, smile and move their fingers with almost unbellvablo rapid- ity. So far as one could see by outward signs not one cf these people consid- ered himself aa either unfortunato or handicapped. William R. Klrjz, No. J039 East 14th Street. Brooklyn.
