perpetuay and carry up passengers. This eie-
vator runs between trussed iron uprghts, all
open leaving frghtfu chasm between the
open elevator and the sides of the monument.
AS you go up higher and higher, and begin to
realize the stupendous descent in case of an ac-
cident, a feeling very like horror occurs to even

grow small and lean. The supports at the cor
ners look like straws 1t goes up rather slow
ly carrying the prodigious stone, gener-
ally about sixteen feet long by eight feet thick
and wide and when the top is reached there are
four cranes of iron which seem to have the
sagacity Of tho human hand. They reach for
that stone as a blind man finds his bread on the
table. When they take hold of it, in perfectly
noiseless way, it is lifted up into the air and
