the world, OF mans creation. cost only
81, 800, 900. "There are twenty iron
panels, each OF which required n separate
diagram. that in turn furnished the basis
OF series OF geometrical designs calcu-
lated by means OF tables OF logarithms
The metallic pieces number about 1900,
and the position OF each and the places
for its rivets had to be decided with
out error. In the iron plates were
drilled 100000 holes, which, II placed
end to end, would form tube
forty-three miles long. There were 500
engineers designs and $500 leaves of
working drawings. 1t was necessary to
employ forty designers and calculators for
a period OF about two years. 1t is thus
seen that the iron forms vast complicated
network, not easily realized when con-
templating the graceiuness OF the com
pleted tower" The first gallery, $50 feet
from the ground, is used for restaurants
and cafes; the second gallery is 100 feet
above this, and the third gallery is reached
at hight Of SCI feet. Surmounting this,
12l feet higher, is n small observation
room, with two windows on side, from
which view Of Paris aud its environs
TO the extent OF seventy-five miles
may be bad. Four passenger elevators
are kept constantly in motion by crowds
OF adyenturesomo people representing all
tongues, nations and peoples. but their as
cent and descent Is regulated and timed so
as TO secure both the sense OF safety and
security. Already Paris Is busy speculat-
ing rs to the uses TO which this giant
structure may be put as for lighting the
vast city nj night, for observations in con-
nection with the spectrum, for the trans.
mission of time signals, for observations Of
n besieging enemy in time Of war, and for
the asccrtainmcnt Of the temperature Of
the air at different nights, also the force OF
the wind and the proper motion OF the
stars As Mr.. Eddy concludes, "Tho
power Of thought over the refractory mate
rails of the earth, as shown by the ingcnu-
ity OF Thomas A. Edison, power which
Emerson illustrated in various ways, is
thus emphasized anew The limits OF
scientific achievement slowly recode."

THE CiarkSraie Chronicle, encouraged by
the growth and prosperity Of Birming-
ham, Ala, advocates boom in iron for
that prosperous though conservative
town, and says that "Clarksyille possesses
three advantages over Birmingham.
While iron can be produced here jus. as
cheap the quality is much superior to the
Birmingham iron, and the transportation
from hore TO he regular iron markets is
considerably cheaper. Birmingham is
dependent entirely on her iron industry.
Stagnaton in the iron market at any time
would seriously affect that city, while
GAINESVILLE would be sustained by her
splendid commerce. This vast iron inter-
est Is certainly worth developing" Well,
the way to develop is to develop. Clarks.
vilo has only to unite her surplus capital
on the development Of her iron interests,
and the thing is done. Having the capital,
pluck and energy alone are needed.
