Building From the Roof Down.

Visitors toJapan tell of the peculiar
methods of construction employed in
that country Speaking of house
building, the japanese begin their
work at the top. The roof goes on
first and then they begin to build the
walls and to construct the interior.
One of the greatest curiosities to me
in Toxic is a new hotel which is be-
ing built. 1t is to be on the foreign
style and is to have four stories. 1t
will be the greatest hotel in Japan; it
covers about an acre of ground. AS
yet not stone of the foundation has
been laid, but the roof is already up
and this stands on a great four-story
skeleton of scaffOlding awaiting the
building of the rest of the structure.
This scaffolding is made of long
poles from the size and thickness of
a campaign flag staff down to the size
of a bamboo fishing rod, and the
whole is tied together with ropes.
Imagine an acre of scaffolding of this
nature upholding heavy roof, and
the whole made up Of sticks and or
binary rope. There are,I was told at
the Office, 1000 poles in the skeleton
and 1000 men had been at work for
months in making it."

Capitalists never had less irrespon-
sible power than now. 1t is said that
monopoly is a growing evil; that it
never was so great. If people choose
to pass laws to make monopolies, they
must, of course, take the consequent
ces; but there never was a time
when the control of natural monopo-
lies was so rational as now, and there
never was time when the efforts OF
cliques to make artificial monopolieS
could be so easily frustrated as now
