NEW YORK. June 5.—The ques—
tion “What things peculiar to New
Yorlc City most tease the curiosity
of the person who never has been
there. "" has been answered In thous-
ands of inquiries received from pros-
pective visitors to the Democra:ic

 

 

 

7 national convention.

The answer is: first. “‘3” Street
and the Stock Exchanges; second,
the “’oolworth and Metropolitan
skyscrapers; and third. Coney Is-
land. the order representing the re-
lative popularity.

Curiously. those who profess the
greatest interest in the Stock Ex-
changes alm‘ost imariably add. “and

explosion in front of J. l‘. Mor-
gans.‘ Others. seeking aswifinco
that they will be able to How the
famous skyline from the dizzy tow-
ers atop the \Voolworth and Metro~
politan structures, plaintively in-
quire “W’hat has become of the
Singer and the Flatiron buildings?”
those architectural marvels or a gen-
oration ago that now squat in the
shadows of ritals which scratch the
sky much deeper.

Bronx Zoo and Botanical Gardens
rank about touxth in popularity as
metropolitan wonders, with the Sta-
tue of Liberty and Tombs Prison
close competitors [or fifth place.
Then. in the order named, come the

tory and the Metropolitan Art Mu—
seum. the subway system and the
under-river tubes. Greenwich \‘ill-
age. Brooklyn Bridge. Ellis Island
and "The Little Church Around the
Corner." the Church or the Transfig~
uration.

It was noted by the convention
bureaus which are mailing answers
to all these queries that Chicago
people. for instance. were interested
above all in New York‘s subways;
that the Stock Exchanges were the
first things town and village bauk~
ers wanted to see: that parents who
will bring children here with them
invariably wanted to know “will the
zoo and the aquarium be open?"
and that inhabitants of moderate-
sized mid~VVestern cities were mm
curious about the reputed bohemin
nism of GrQenwich Village.

Ramon Camp Kitchen
Found By Excavators

LONDON June 6 LA camp house
where probably in olden times the
unwelcome ‘oman legions once toast-
ed. has been found among a. group
or newly discovered Roma remains
at bolkstone, on the English hannel
where the firstaRomans are said to
have landed. The remains consist
at two buildings. in each of which
are about seven hearths, which leads
to the belief. that they were used as
the cook houses and dining halls at
early Roman camps. .

The base of a. watch tower also has
been found. Luilt in awail which
evidently mirrornded the camp. Se-
veral burial urns and Roman glass
lune been tie; up, all in perfect con-
dition. _

The excavations arerbeing made
under the supervliion of experts
trom the Britkh Museum. to which
