Always pay- compliments and you
* won’t be forced to eat your own words.
THE BOARD WALK.
To the many Charlotteans who have
walked thereon, and those who hope
to, the following about the board walk
will be of interest:
Although few of( us are aware of
the fact, tne boardwalk at Atlantic
City, N. J„ says the Virginia Pilot., is
a street of world-wide fame. It is the
most expensive street,'bar none. Ev
ery three or four years it has to be re
paved with piankSi^ at a cost of about
$140,000;—^though the work is done
gradually and not all at once. The
annual bill for keeping it clean and in
repair is $35,000. As it stands today
the boardwalk represents an expendi
ture of nearly $450,000 for constiuc-
tion. , I
No broom or mop is ever applied to
the surface of the boardwalk. In a
way it ^eeps itself clean. Swept by
the ocedn breezes it Is ever free from
dust, while the. rain and the sea borne
mist wash it. Four men, however, ai
$2.10 a day, are constantly busy keep
ing the cracks clear between the;
boards, the object being to drafa off
the accumulated water. As it stands
today, the boardwalk cost sltghtly
more than $100,000 a mile to build—
the length of it being four and a third
miles. Originally it was composed of
planks laid upon the sand of the bcach
but these were repeatedly washed
away by the waves and the loss and
discomfort occasioned eventually
brought about the erection of the per
manent structure of today, upheld by
pillars and girders which defy the
tooth of time and the energy o^ the
elements.
There la a movement how on foot
to replace "the wooden “deck” of the
boardwalk with concrete. But objec
tion is made that it would be daipp.
Under prei^t circumstances, after-r-a
rain it aflhost immediately Irles; con
crete . would hold the wfet.* Further
more, moisture from the sea air would
condense upon the .surface of the ar
tificial stone and keep it wet much
of tfte time, gendering it uncomfort
able* to w^k upoie and bad for wo
men’s skirts. It would reflect light
and heat nnpleagantly and be top
mt^ch like a city pavement.
Sunday is the big day of the week
on the boardwalk. On that day the
shopkeepers and proprietors of amuse
ment places expect to do nearly as
much business as in the other six to
gether.
All hoboes and beggars are barred
from the thoroughfare. The policing
of the beach fe extremely stilct and
a woman is safe from annoyance at
iany time of the day or night. The
boardwalk is brilliantly Illuminated
from dusk to dawn by arc lights and
festoons of incandescent electric
bulbs strung at frequent intervals
across the thoroughfare.
The property rights of each owner
of real estate along the boardwalk
originally extended to low water mark.
A great majority of such owners; hov/-
ever, have by deed, relinquished their
rights to the city, which by the help
of supplementary purchases, has be
come the possessor of the i^ntire‘beach.
The latter has thus become a city park
and is managed and Contr6lled as
such. The city keep^lt clean. ' At fre
quent intervals teams gO^
men rake, up the scraps, and^ waste of
excursionists. In addition, there is an
ofiicial “scavenger” for ,«very three
blocks, whose business it is to keep
both the strand and the boardwalk
clear of unsightly. debris. But nature
helps a lot. For eveyy night the
ocean rim is cleansed of all organic
refuse by multittides of .^^nd fleas”
and other 0ttle : crustodiWAs, who^
task it is, under nature’tf S^pointment,
to do awiy with all sttch undesirsble
material. ^
The boardwalk is, .in. a dense, a na
tional thoroughfare. It is the com^
mon meeting ground of people from
all parts of the cojJlitry.

THE AVIATION PROPHET,
■fiiere were great prophets In Is
rael in the old times, but prophecy as
a vocation has fallen into disuse in
modern life—unless . we count the
weather man, who is only a guesser.
Every country since the Bible days
has had its prophet, its seer Ihto the
future. And some of them have fore
told with surprising accuracy things
which afterward came to pass.
Among modem prophets is Mother
Shipton, an English woman, who was
said to have been “the diaughter of
the devil and Mary Shipton.”
Whether this is a sarcastic allu
sion to a bad father we do not konw,
but Mother Shipton^ in her later years
came to be jsometfiing of a'‘prophet
ess. She foretold the wqnd^ful age
of iron inventions, the teliegraph, and
a dozen other things wittich are real
ities of our time. People laughed at
her when she talked about the com
ings “horesle^s carriage,” and when
she said that “thought shall fly round
the /world in the twingling of an
but today we Ijave the steam
locomotive and the antombhile; and.
we talk, from "New York to New Or
leans^ quickly as We dan cjose an
eye. »
.Mither Shipton was discredited m
her own time and today she is set
down as a half mythical and a wholly
crazy old vroman.
Picking up a volume of Tennyson
and reading the following lines:
"For I dipt into the future, far as hu-
Tn»n eye could see, ' ;
Saw the vision of* the world and all
the wondejr that would be;
Saw the heavens fll^d with com
merce, argpsie.s of magic sails.
Pilots of the purple twilight, drop
ping down with costly bales;
Heard the heave^^s fill with shouting,
and there rain’d a gba^ly dew
Vrom the nation’s airy navies grap
pling in the central k^ue.-;
Far along/the world-wide whisper of
j -the south wind rushin’g warnv
I With the standards of the ^ peoples
j- plunging through the thunder
storm; ' . ;
Tlir .the war ‘ drums tn^obb’d _ no
longen^and the battle flags were
fmi’d ^
In the parliament of man, the fed
eration of the world..
(»The|i;.e, the common, sense of ; most
hold a fretful rea^y® In awe.
And ^ kindly earth shall somber,
lap^ in universal law,”
we ask ourselves if there was npt a
‘inv)pliet living nearer to ^ than- oid
Mother Shipton of 250 years ago.
,Was Tennyson! .but drawing upon
his Imagination when he wrote of
aipr navies and of heavens filled
with commerce and magic sails, or
was there a gleam of prophecy in his
lines, and did he mean the airships
which are beginning “to fill our
heavens?”
It would almost. seem that nearly
half a century ago when he wrote
“Locksiey Hall,” he had at least as
much inspiration for divining the fu
ture as old Mother Shipton.
And is it possible that the “Par
liament of Man, the Federation of the
World,” v/hich he wove into his
rhynie with such consummate skill,
was a foreshadowing of a world
peace, the arbitration • treaties which
our country is about to make with
foreign nations.
He may have been but a beautiful
rhymer, but who can say that his
“poet’s eye in a fine frenzy rolling”
did not pierce the veil that hangs
before the future and see Moisant
and his cat, or Atwood and his empty
gasoline tank, as he now flies toward
New York.
^It is quite as possible that Tenny
son saw these things as that Mother
Shipton saw the things she foretold.
At any rate they were both of them
good guessers.—Editorial in Commer*
cial-Appeal.
NO CHINESE TYPEWRITERS.
The Reason for That is Found in the
I 50,000 Word Signs in Use.
Typewriters are now made for use In
near^ a hundred different languages
and they are sold all over the world;
but there Is still one great nation
which, for a very simple reason, has no
typewriters that write it? tongue. That
nation is China.
'The English alphabet has twenty-
six letters, the Russian thirtj"-six. The
typewriter produced for the Russian
market is the largest made; but no
typewriter could be made that would
begin to-be big enough for the Chinese
language, which has no alphabet, but
1^ represented by sign characters, of
which ,th€re are about fifty thousand.
Of th% great number of words found v
in the English language only a small
proportion are used for the ordinary
purposes of speech and the same is
•true of the characters used in the Chi
nese lan^uaee; but the number of C.hi>
nese cliaraoters cothminly employ d
is still far greater than could be ii
cn any typewriter. So this nation
400,000^000 people has no typev.'ri»..i"
in its ^wn tongue.
But that doesn't mean that no ty*. ?-
writers are sold in' China. More h u)
more Chinese are learning other b.n
guages besiffes their, own. and Clnr-
merchishts and resident foreign ~
ants use typewriters and they are
'in-3^jgations and in consular ofllce 5 an.-j
in banks and shipning oflBi'ces and col-
leges, and by mismonarles, by var: >us
; peojj^. Altogftther there arc s^>i *
iChmk Ja good many typewriters. ■
