BUILDS UP ESTATE GOOD AMERICAN MONEY PUT TO USE IN AUSTRIA. 1_ I Millions That Gladys Vanderbilt Hand i ed Over to Titled Husband Are Devoted to Rehabilitating His Ancestral Home. ! The fortune which the former ♦lladys Vanderbilt took to Hungary as the bride of Count Szeclienyl Is being used to build up one of the greatest pstates in that empire. This fact was learned from Morris Cukor, an attor ney, and intimate friend of the count while the latter was a visitor in New (York. Already hundreds of acres of land have been added by the countess to the family estate of her husband. Mr. Cukor stated he had learned that the real estate was being purchased by tlie Szechenyis for investment pur poses. Most of tin* land is best suited for agriculture. The count's love for large estates was made known during bis visit to New York in 1907. He found fault with Newport because the estates are loo close together. He was quoted as saying: "If Marble house had been erected in Hungary it would have been surrounded by acreage ns large as half the state of Rhode Island, in stead of being wedged Into a village street." k The ancient seat of the Szechenyl family at Horpacs is surrounded by a beautiful park of more than eighty acres, while in the entire domain of ♦ he family estate there is over 20,000 acres. It is one of the finest estates in Hungary. i.asue uermezoe, wnere me count took liis bride immediately after their marriage, is.situated on a pictuosque knoll. The grounds about it are densely wooded. A large slice of the (Vanderbilt fortune was spent in tit jting up the old castle with modern conveniences for the use of the bride. Air. Cukor does not attach much importance to the report that the Countess Szechenyi has begun to in (vest in sawmills. This announcement .was made a few days ago in a dis patch from Budapest. It was stated that the nobility of Hungary was ’shocked to learn that the countess had let her American business enter prise get the better of her judgment as a member*!*! the aristocracy. “The sawriiill,” said Attorney Cukor, probably just happened to be on the estate that the countess bought. She i purchased the land and took the saw mill with it. Many of these big es tates in Hungary are like old time plantations in this country. They (have on them factories to supply peo ple on the estate with needed articles. The surplus is sold. I think this will i>e found to ho the explanation of the mud) talked of sawmill purchase.” Methuselah’s Age. The most astonishing news is every now and then cabled or sent by spe cial correspondents from Europe, the Christian Register says. Some ancient bit of speculation comes for (he first time to the notice of an ambitious (correspondent, and forthwith lie im jparts liis knowledge to the world. The llatest from London, as special to a (Sunday newspaper, relates to an (ancient speculation that the great age (of the antediluvians may be account ed lor by the discovery that the years (spoken of in Genesis were not solar (years, imi lunar months. In this way It he 909 years of Methuselah are re duced to SO years and nine months. !Thn enterprising correspondent and itbe editor of the Sunday paper ap iplied the rule to the great ages, but not to (be lesB. For instance, Me thuselah was born when his father 'Enoch was 65 years old—that is, ac cording to this reckoning, five years 'and five months, liis grandfather was also five years old, as was his great grandfather. when his first child was Ibnrn. Adam was ten years and ten liuonths old when his third son, Seth, (was born. This is the kind of careless inditing that gives currency to stories (about signaling Mars, photographing thought an'd weighing the soul. The Condescending Tone. 'hero may be little use in pointing tout the absurdity of the condescending iti general. A man may be cured hy instruction, or experience, of some (particular national or sectional preju dice, but the tone of condescension toward some other nation or section is llfkely to be substituted. Boswell was unable to eradicate Johnson’s antip athy either for the Scotch or the American, and if he had been able to dc so, the Big Bear would have prowled at other bugbears. And New Yorkers as a rule, that is, New York < who have the proper civic spirit, ..*e too busy to bother much about the prejudices of their neighbors. A good pu»t of their industry fortunately goes ■ the attempt to scrub out. those ■ pots on the city's escutcheon which (x< ite just criticism. Especially in • very local political campaign they get < xtremeiy busy in this laudable enter prise - The Century. Unwilling to Quit. George," said Mrs. Bihhleson, "I Pave just been reading that tiro monks of St. Bernard nearly always find • i-.pty whisky bottles clutched in the bands of people who perish in Alpine snow. Won’t you promise me never to drink another drop?” Pshaw." in> replied, "I’m not ttunl .n’ of doin' any Alp climbin’, and m>y way what’s the use of fakin’ a hot tit when a fellow starts on one of 1 m kind of trips? What you need ( 'here’s a keg." GUIDE BOOK OF ETIQUETTE Probably Compiled by One Who Has Suffered from the Bad Manners of the Human Herd. Persons traveling on the continent will find the most economical means of travel a canoe or small Oxford punt. These are the only two places where you are not expected to keep tipping. Having partaken of a seven-course dinner on a transatlantic steamer, it is well to remark "Punk food” sharply upon arising from the table. Other wise the crew will thipk you arc not used to any better at home. Upon returning from a country boarding house where the only excite ment is wondering what form the ham will take the next meal, it is well to speak of your vacation as “a delightful experience at a quaint old place close to nature." This sounds romantic and doesn't mean a thing. Young gentlemen desiring to play stuss over Sunday in the rear of a beer saloon may allude 1o their ab sence as "a week-end spent on a duck farm." When invited on a yachting trip always arrange to sit on the bight of the main sheet. Occasionally rap the deck sharply with your heels. This will please the owner of the boat im mensely. If you can arrange to tie a few knots in the main sheet, all hands will usually take a pleasant little swim before the day is over. No picnic is complete' without a young lady who thinks she sees a snake. It is not good form, however, to comment upon the bugs in the but ter and the grasshopper in the pickle bottle. One must not tie too literal In summer. I hose sitting on the rear seat of an automobile should always sing. Close harmony and the odor of gasoline make a very classy combination. It is not proper for young ladies to go in bathing without a chaperon, if you have a chaperon, however, not much of anything else is necessary. At the seashore never throw' sand in a gentleman’s shoes. Put it down his neck. It will get to his shoes ulti mately. If he's in a hurry for some in his shoes, he can put it there himself. There is plenty of sand. If you should find a magazine lying around at a summer hotel, carry it up into your own room immediately. It you don't the owner is almost sure to come hack and take it away. Explosion Wrought Havoc. A terrific explosion occurred at Dls tington ironworks, near Workington, England, recently, causing damage es timated at £20,000, and so wrecking the place that work will be suspend ed for some months, throwing about 200 men out of work. Eleven gas-filled boilers are used at the works to gen erate steam for blowing the engines which supply the furnnaces with the blast, and it is supposed that there was an explosion of gas. The report was terrific and the effect disastrous. Three of the boilers were blown into fragments, while a fourth was found in a field a considerable distance away. The boiler is reported to have flown through the air at a terrific speed, at a height of about fin feet, "just- like an aeroplane." Part of another boil er crashed into Hie fitters’ and black smiths’ mill, bricks and stones were shot up as high as the works chim ney and then rained down on the works yard and the high road leading into the village. About 50 men, most ly fillers and pig-lilters, were work ing at the front and back of the blast furnaces, a hundred yards away, at the time, but they all had a re markable escape from injury. A Brave Man. Former Gov. William Sprague of Rhode Island celebrated last month his seventy-nimh birthday, lie is the only surviving war governor. A reporter questioned Gov. Sprague one day at Narragansett about bravery. “There is a finer bravery shown in civil than in military life," the veteran statesman said: "1 remember one of our Providence fire chiefs. "A green fireman resigned from the Providence service because his chief, he said, was cruel and inhuman. "‘How cruej and inhuman?' they asked him. " Why,- the fireman whined, ‘at last week's tenement lire he ordered me to carry a section ol hose right in be tween two walls that were just on the point of tumbling.' "‘And what did you do?' “ ‘I refused, of course. 1 told tire chief it was as much as a man's life was worth to go in there, and 1 wouldn't do it/ " 'Well, what did the chief do then?’ " ‘Ha, ha, ha. The crazy fool car ried the hose in himself.’” The Dirigible Soap-Bubble. The catastrophe of ItepubliqUe re minds mt oi what a French engineer I and constructor, M. Gandillon, told me quite a year ago: "The weak point , of ail dirigible balloons is that the safety margin in every detail of their construction is too low," says a Paris letter to London Truth. “In or dinary steelwork, say a bridge, the stress put upon the rods is but a frac ! lion of what they could really stand. In air machines, where lightness is ! ihe paramount consideration, it is nec essary to cut tilings very fine indeed. So that if you read in the papers that 1 the France dirigible balloon made a | run to Verdun at the rate of 43 kilo | meters an hour, it means that at this l speed all her parts were strained nearly to breaking-point, and that she would have been quite unable to mak< say, 45 kilometers.” A dirigible bal loon is still somewhat of a soap-bub | ble.
