The palace to be erected by w. X.
Vanderbilt near Asheville, N. c., on
the splendid estate he has recently pur-
chased there will be 800 feet long, and
the superstructure will be of Indiana
limestone, which is of a beautiful fawn
color. The foundations will be made
of the stone taken out of Mr.. Wander
bits own quarries. Also the material
for the walls of the ~esplanade or pla-
teau, on which the house will be built,
will be obtained from the same quar-
ries. These walls will be forty feet
high in some places, and the esplanade
will extend some five or six hundred
feet in either direction, presenting the
point of the diamond-shaped plateau to
the French Broad. The palace, which
is to be built OF this plateau, will not
be begun until next Spring. Then ex-
cavations are to be begun and the
foundations laid. Two towers have al
ready been erected on the site of the
house. These are just the height of
the first story of the building, and by
means of these a be seen what the
view will be from the house itself, and
the grading a be done accordingly.
All the forests which have been cut
down will be restored. The trees
which will be r hted will be ever
greens of variom kinds, mostly white
pines. The idea to afford a pleasant
winter view. 1t ltended ultimately
to have q nursery, ON which can be
supplied the trees needed on the estate.
The laying of the foundation for three
stables for cattle has been commenced.
They will be arranged according to
the latest sanitary ideas, and the water
will be led to them by pipes. The cat.
tie will be stall fed. Altogether, Mr..
Vanderbilt's palace and its surround
ings promise to surpass anything ever
seen in the South.

ings and also gave orders to the city
printer not to allow anyone to see the
proceedings until after they were
printed. The proceedings of the
council are public property and the
public should have access to them at
all times. What right the city clerk
has to refuse us access to the same we
fail to comprehend. His action in this
matter looks very suspicious, to say
the least, and if we were denied access
to the proceedings because they had
been "%doctored," it is not the first
time they have been unoficially chang
ed. The manner of keeping the record
of the proceedings is also open to
criticism. Instead of entering all the
proceedings in a book or journal kept
for that purpose, the original minutes,
copies of resolutions, etc., are given to
the city printer, and after they are
printed, the printed copy is pasted in
a scrap book, and the record is very
incomplete.

The Human Ee

Science gives us interesting details about
what the human eye has ben and what it
has become. The Vedss India, which
are the most ancient written documents,
attest that at times most remote but still
recorded in history, only tTo colors were
knOwD-black and red. A very long time
elapsed before the eye Guild perceive
the color yellow, and still longer time
before green could be distinguished &;
and it is remarkable tha. in the most
ancient language the term which desig-
mated yellow insensibly passed to the sig
niGcation of green. Thl Greeks had.
according to the generally received Opin-
ion, the perception of coloB very highly
developed, and yet authors of a more re-
cent date assure us that in the time of
Alexander the Great the Greek painters
knew but four colors, viz, white, black,
red and yellow.
The words to designate blue and violet
were wanting to the GreeBs. in the most
ancient times of their hfstoR they aoliing
these colors- ssrs=g-aad blsok. Il ia thus
the colors in the rainpUW we're only dis
tinguished gradually, and the great Aris-
totle only knew four of ihem. 1t is a
we'll known fact that wien the colOrs
of the prism are photographed there
remains outside the limit o. the blue and
violet in the spectrum ditinCt impress
sion which our eyes do not Fecognize as a
color. Psychologists tell us that it is
reasonable to suppose that as the color
organ becomes highly developed, ard even
before the human eye bepmes perfect,
this outside band will evoIie into color
perfectly discernable.-ChtaUg0 Times.

The Blacksmith's Apron.
WHY 1T Is ALWAYS SLIT, AND GENERAII
FRINGED ALI. AROUND TIE BOTTOM,

WHY 1T Is Al WAYS SLIT, AND GENERALLY
FRINGED LL-AROUND TIE BOTTOM.
Every one knows that q blacksmith
wears a leather apron, and must have
noticed that this apron is slit and often
fringed at the bottom As an English
legend, it is related that, once upon a
time, Alfred the Great called ] the trades
together to appoint a trades king. He
declared that he would make that man
king who could best get on without the
help Of others for the longest period. He
made feast and asked a workman from
each trade to come aud bring a specim n
of mis- wo5k and the tools used in nIsking
it. The blacksmith brought hammer
and a hOrseshOe the tailor brought his
shea ard a new cat ; the baker his peel
and loaf; tue shoemaker his awl aud
a new par Of shoes the carpenter his
v ard uice box ; the butcher his chop

selves b;8ten and the horseshoe, the
bread, the shoes, the box, the meat and
the carved stone were all thrown aside
The tailor vas pronounced trades king by
hiITcuy huu ~ dS Nuly iuSLdlitI. ! no
blacksmith was angry, and declared that
he would do no more work while the
tailor was king, and actually shut up
his sh p and disappeared.
One day as King Alfred was riding
along, his hOtse cast shoe, and he was
the first to need the services of a black
smith. but no could not get into the shop
Then all the 9th r tradesmen including
The tailor, tried to shoe the kings horse
but each one not only failed, but broke his
tools, and could not carry on ais proper
business till they were mendrd.
King Alfred and the tradesmen then
broke open the shop and tried to use the
blacksmith's tools. The king tried to
shoe mis- horse, the tailor to mend his
shears, and each one endeavore1 to repair
mis- tools.
About this time the blacksmith walked
in, looking very augry. The king, how
ev.r, made humble bow and said: 81
was wrong to be led as ray by the gaudy
color of a coat, and l now revoke my
decision, and declare the blacksmith
king" All the trades, except the depOsed
tailor, begged the smith to mend their
tools So he shOd the kings horse, and
mended the tools of all who had asked
him but, in order to show his magnan-
unity, he made the tailor a brand new
pair Of shears.
The tailor however did not reciprocate
the blacksmith's kindness, but, while the
others were singing, crawled under the
table and slit the blacksmiths leathern
apron, and cut the lower edge into regu-
lar fringe. From that day no true black
smith has ever thought of wearing an
apron that was not slit and fringed at the
bottom. - Electrical ReVieG0.

When Mr. Greely made ''-a famous re

empire. 1t contained thousands upon
thousands of square miles of rich virgin
soil, such as the world had not dreamed
of. When the truth became 6nOwn and
the richness of the soil was IestiOned
people poured into this great empire in
way that cast the famous 49 stampede to
California in the shade. These immi-
grants included not only farmers, but
farm hands, blacksmiths, carpenters, ma
sons, store keepers, journalists, teachers
in short, representatives Of every sort and
kind of employment. More than this,
there was room for everT one of there i'm
migrants. Anew empire was TO be built
up from the very foundations. Villages,

South are not only greater t1an those of
the West, but much more varied. The
foundations for a great empire are already
laid, however. What is ntedC d now is
the superstructure, and the material r3-
quired for this is of different nature
from that required for The foundations. A
few years ago young man could go West
and find an opening in almost any kind of
work. The demand for workers exceeded
the supply. In the South, on the other
hand, the supply of unskilled nor is still
equal to the demand, out skilled labor is
wanted.
If a man has a trade-if Ie is a good
farmer, miner, blacksmith, cal Denter or
machinist, or skilled in anv me branch of
labor or work-he will find an opening
awaiting him. If he has alittle money

Shaking Down a Dwelling.
EFFECT ON HOUSES OF THE VIBRATIo
CAUSED BY PASSING TRAINS.

EFFECT ON EOUsEs OF THE VIBRATION
CAUSED BY PASSING TRAINS.
The examination of house built about
six years ago on one of the uptown streets,
between Fourth and Madison avenues,
shows how sensitive structure can be to
the effects of vibration when its compon-
ent parts are small and the structure is
unprovided with safe8 yards against this
unusual agent.
The serious injury about to be described
can only be attributed to vibration, be-
cause the the house-a FIVE story double
fat-was well built of bricks and fair NOR
tor, with brown. stone ashlar front, the
whole having a rubble foundation resting
on sound rock, and interior brick piers
supporting the timber girders, which car
ried the main stud partitions, in the usual
manner. 1t is then reasonable to suppose
that had the structure not been subjected
to unusual forces differently applied TO it's
foundation, the settlement would have
shown the following evidence of unequal
settlement and strain.
Commencing the examination in the eel
lar, the foundation wall evinces no sign of
exterior fracture, but it is depressed m
several places from front to rear, showing
that the bed on which it rests has been
displaced. The eastern wall next to Fourth
avenue is about six inches lower on the
footing in the center of it's length than the
west wall, and the piers supporting the
partitions are bent about two inches in the
height, about five feet six inches, seeming
ly from the pressure of the beams as they
subsided with the eastern foundation wall.
The floor concrete, however, is unbroken

Why Thread Is Numbered.

Every seamstress, whether she wants
No. 30 or go or 12O thread, knows from
the number, just what size the thread will
be, and what kind Of sewing it can be
used for but how the numbers came to
be numbered just what they are, and just
what they mean, not one person in 1000
knows, yet it is 3 very simple matter to
explain, providing you only know the
points and how to elucdate them. When
$40 yards of yarn weigh 1000 grains, a
pound of cotton, the thread makers mark
It No. /. If 1880 yards weigh pound, it
is marked as No. 2. For No. so yarn it
would take 80 multiplied by $40 to weigh
a pound, This is the whole explanation
of the yard measurement as used by the
cotton spool manufacturers. The early
manufactured thread was of three, instead
Of six cord, the number being derived
from the number of yards to the pound,
Just as it is to-day. No. 60
yarn made No. 60 thread, though in point
of fact the actual caliber of No. so thread
would equal No 20 yarn, being made of
three No 20 strands being twisted together
