John Denham, known for many
years as the “old man of the belfry'
and for 40 years elder and trustee ot
the Church of the Sea and Land, is
dead. He was a familiar figure on the
East Side, and his time was solely
devoted to the amelioration of th«
lot of the poor. Mr. Denham was uorn
in Scotland in 1820, and came to New
Yoik in I860, working for many years
thereafter as a tailor. He became el-
der and trustee of the church, and
when he retired from business, fifteen
years ago, lie took up hrs residence in
the belfry of the building, so that he
might be near the needy persons in

An engineer correspondent of the

prevalent opinion that the comfort of
automobiles is best promoted by hav-

but weight placed behind anj in front
♦ends to steady the chassis, and thus

of shock. If weight he placed outside
the wheel base, both front and back,
he says, an improvement in smooth-
ness in running is obtained without
any increase of the total weight of the-
