he was satisfied from his obsery atoms
that Steele had reason Tor conveying the
warning; hut Dr. Thomas was Arm in his
theory that the Indians would not be insensible
TO his kindly Intentions, and General Candy
accompanied the commissioners afrOm a sense
of official duty and there is little doubt that the
brave old soldier walked into the lava beds with
the consciousness that there was little hope OF
his returning alive. In his last interview with
Steele, when that gentleman, upon taking leave
OF him, begged that he would not expose his life
to the treachery OF the Indians, General Candy
replied: II believe you are right, Mr.. Steele.

TALL CoLUMN.-The papers say that a
Philadelphia manufacturer is preparing plan
for q column, one thousand feet high, to be
constructed entirely of iron, in open work from
the summit Of which the grounds of the Cen
tennial exposition are to be Illuminated by
means of Drummond light; and, in true Yam
kee style, il is boosted that II will be the Hottest
structure in the world. But IL will not neces-
sarily be the most beautiful, which is better
worth trying for. The tallest thing of the kind
now in existence is the epen-work central spire
Of the Cathedral at Rouen, in France,
erected few years ago to replace the
one destroyed by lightning in 1922, and nothing
uglier was ever thrust in the face Of heaven.
The builders were determined to make it few
feet higher than the celebrated spire of Stras-
bourg cathedral, hut their work Is as hideOus as
that of the medieval architect is stately and
magnificent. Probably the next highest works
of mans hands are two chimneys Of chemical
works in Glasgow, one Of which is 46s and the
other $50 feet high. These have no architec-
tural pretensions, of course, but they are quite
as fine in their way as Bunker Hill monument,
which, from littledistance, looks like stone
chimney among the surrounding brick ones of
manufacturing establishments.
