MoNuMENTUN BLAzUM "A young German,
named 4. Burkhardt, has conceived a happy
plan for concentrating the great fire at
chicago in something OF realistic way. His
design is to erect in one of the public parks a
tower about 100 feet in height, which shall
be s~rmounted by a pnoenix. The tower to
be built from foundation stone to tcrret with
blocks Of stone or brick taken from the prom
inent buildings destroyed by the fire. On
each OF these blocks the name of the building
from the ruins Of which it WAS taken is to be
conspicuonsly engraved. That all these
names may be seen by the curious of future
years, the top of the tower is reached by an
exterior winding stairway, so constructed
after the type Of the ArchinedIan screw as to
make it appear part Of the proposed tower
