BOSTON. Feb. 1a.-The iergeer

the wharves of the New England-

Measurin_g nearly 400 feet in length
50 feet in width and 28 feet in depth,
its size is most impressive, and to
anyone accustomed to the use of the
word raft to describe a few planks
on which a boy poles about in-
smooth water, the designation seems
far too insiginflcant to apply to this'
huge mass iof logs. Yet this is whatl
the lumbermen down in Nova Scotial

the trip to Everett, they are still
talking about it. _
Rafts of similar construction have
preceded- this monster, but none have
approached” its size. It contains
ever 7,0011' logs, ‘which if pieced end
end to end would stretch over sixty
miles. The distance from Boston to

Bill Auihorlzing Expenditure
Of 1,530,000 In ParkS And

ALABANY. Feb.'13-With the un-
animous consent in the Senate to-
night; Senator McCall of the Bix-
teenth District, introduced a bill au-
thorising the Park Board of New
York to spend an additional sum of
one million five hundred thousand
dollars for the development of parks
and driveways.
"Fourteen years ago," he said, “a
law was enacted permitting this ex-
penditure for the benefit of thefnn-
employed. The need for such relief
isgreater now than i_t was fourteen
years ago. It is estimated than one
hundred and thirty thousand skilled
mechanics and fifteen thousand men
without trades, are without employ-_
ment in New`York to-day."
Senator McCall referred to the
crowded condition of the municipal
lodging houses and urged the Cities
Committee to act promptly upon his
bill". ,` ` -

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-The Emperor
has directed that tbe_free lint and
the sale of tickets to the public for
the Royal Opera be suspended for
six evenings in February and March,
so that what is culled “Smucty
Night" may be held. For the speci-
al evenings tickcts will he allotted
to subscribers according to their
social ranks, subscribers whose
names are on thc Court list being
accorded thc first privileges.
The object of thc Emperor in tnk-
lng this step is to add to the bril-
liancy of the social season, and bc-
cause many _ complaints have been
made that it is most dif-
ficult to secure satisfactory seats.
The Emperor maintains the opera
out of his private purse and has a
permanent free list of any theatre
in the world. His`Majesty ,frequent-
ly directs that tickets be sent to
professors, artists, sndfdlstinguish-
ed persons whom .he has received in
audience as well as to trades peo-
ple with whom he has dealings. So
that taking both, the permanent .nd
occasional free lists the seats left
for the public have been limited to a
few hundred and these mostly un-
desirable, the theatre only seating
about one thousand ` five hundred,
which includes the topmost gallery.
The Emperor spent nearly six million
dollars more in 1907 ln grand opera
tres'in Berlin and Weisbaden than
the receipts amounted to.
