wrought-iron factory chimney OF some-

built 1t Creusot The total height IL
279 feet, the diameter - feet 1t the base
and feet inches ct the top the total
weight being 90. toms exclusive Of ma

ried feet inches shove the ground
and weigh about 800 tonA The shaft
was built In successive rings, each I feet
1 inch high. the thickness varying from
9-10 inch at the base to Y inch At the top
The nine lower rings were formed Of
eight plates each, the upper ones Of four
plates each. The base was encircled by
massive angle iron bolted to the
foundation The eight lower rings were
lined with IRE brick.
The erection Of the chimney occupied
seventy days including taking down
the flying scaffold. The latter was of q
somewhat novel character. 1t consisted
Of central wrought iron tube seven
inches in diameter, and was provided at
the bottom with four wooden cross bars
or aims 80 =elamped4 THAT =their~fength
could be adjusted to suit the varying
diameter Of the chimney, carrying the
internal platform. These arms rested
on angle brackets refitted to the interior
Of the plates The upper part of the
central tube carried four cross arms or
jibs, each consisting OF pair of timbers
stiffened by raking struts from the CEN
trail tube. From their outer ends was
slung the exterior circular platform.
The latter consisted OF pair OF
angle-iron rings, to the outer edge OF
which was riveted plate-iron fence,
while the inner was provided with T-iron
stanchions. Radial bearing timbers
resting on these rings and adjustable
endwise to suit the varying diameter OF
the chimney, carried the platform, an
annular space being left just sufficient
for hosting the plates. The latter
operation was effected by rope passing
over an adjustable pulley fixed to each
rib in turn, and carried down a central
tube to a snatch-blosk fixed at the bot
tom of the chimney. As each successive
ring was riveted up two pairs Of bars
were laid across, by which the scaffold
was slung by four jackscrews furnished
by rachel collars, and thus raised high
enough to take bearing on the nextset
ot,angle brackets
The complete scaffold weighed about
four TONS and the heaviest plate about
eight hundred weighteThe total cost
of the chimney without foundation was
about IS, 600. Engineering Journal.

AN IDENTIFICATION.
The Original of Thackeray's Immortal b,
Infamous Lord StaYna.

The Original of Thackeray's Immortal But
Infamous Lord Steyne.
The death of Sir Richard Wallace has
repeatedly led to the statement i'll
English journals that his father,
Richard, fourth Marquis of Hartford,
who died in 1870, was ''the original OF
Thackeray's immortal but infamous
Lord Steyne," Henry ]. Furley writes
to the London Standard to say that this
.he could have been," and gives the fol;
lowing reasons:
THE epoch Of Vanity Fair is Georg-
ian. The story opens in 1918, two years
before the battle Of Waterloo, and ter
inmates, presumably, about the middle
of the reign of George w., L e., 1926.
How, then, could the brilliant and Gym
ical roue, past middle life, the persona
grata of the Georgian court whom
Thackeray portrayed, have been this
identical Marquis who. according to
Burke and Debret, was born in 1900?
The date OF his entry into the world and
the facts OF his career preclude the
notion altogether.
''Thackeray had in his minds eye,
when he limned this character, apite
another Marquis of Hartford, ssthe
period of whose life synchronizes
exactly with that of the imaginar,
Lord Steyne. This was Frahcii
Charles Seymour, third possessor Of The
title, who was born in 1777 and died in
1S42. This nobleman, while Earl OF
Yarmouth, was Lord Castlereagh's
second in the duel with Mr.. Canning in
1909. He was the boon companion of
the Prince Regent and with. many of
the orgies and scandals of that and
subsequent period his name is imper.

carefully to. study the salient traits in
the character of the third Marquis, as
depicted in the journals and chronicles
Of two generations ago will, on turning
to Lord Steyne, have no difficulty in
tracing Rgst genuine craisem5lahce.
Never was mordant satire more felicit.
ously and faithfully employed than
when Thackeray took in hand this
singularly unique parsonage and gave
him immortality. The fact that he will
live while English literature endurcs
makes 1t the more important that there
should be no mistake or misunderstood.

A long, low, level stret ch of sand, and
agirl standing with weary, wistful eyes
looking over the bright blue waters
that rippled to her feet.
1t was Evelyn Clayton, but only a
shadow Of the fair, bright girl who had
pledged her love to Gerard Carrisbroke
two years before.
Standing alone. Ahisso utterly, SO
YEARLY alone, for to love once with
Evelyn Clayton was to love forever.
Suddenly down the slope came a
| slender form, and her sisters soft, dark
eyes looked into hers with strange ex-
preston in their dreamy depths-the
sister for whose sake she had sacrificed
so much, the sister whom her dying
father had made her promise to think
first and always of.
Come home, Evelyn Iona said,
"Oh, Evelyn, how can tell you, only"
| $ How she told it she could never tell,
only Evelyn understood that there had
been railroad accident, and among the
dangerously injured brought to their
home as the nearest place was Gerard
Ca-risbroke
And some one else, Evelyn, Iona
I said. Reginald Emersons twin
| brother, and Evelyn, he has told me of
your fatal mistake in taking him for Regi-
maid himself, and the cowardly advant-
| age he took of it, and-oh, sister, sister,
what you must have suffered, believing
me to be the wife of two husbands, for
the divorce granted me'was only q way
to take me out Of his power"
Evelyn caught her sisters hand
Iona, you know now of my meeting
with that man, do You mean-ah! kind
Heaven, do you mean"
81 mean he was not the man | mar
ried in my early girlhood and fed from;
he was dead before became Phillips
wife; that man was his twin brother.
Evelyn, was that what came between
you and Gerard Carrisbroke?"
HE saw me meet him and refused to
trust me-" Evelyn said, ''and could not
tell him what 4 believed to be the
truth"
Two, hours later Iona sought Evelyn.
Evelyn will you go to him-to
Gerard? and Evelyn, be kind to him."
Eyelyn's face grew pallid.
SIS he's he worse, Iona?"
mo. He will live, they say"
A moment later Evelyn stood by the
couch where Gerard, lay, her cool hand
resting on his brow. her beautiful eyes,
filled with womans tenderest love, rest
ing on his pallid face.
His eyes opened, his lips parted, and
she bent down her head to hear what he
wished to say. r.
Iona has told me all. Evelyn, can
YOU Oh, my love! my love! forgive
meW he cried
She'was only woman, and she loved
him. and she bent her head still lower
till her lips touched his brow.
Il love you, Gerard" was all she said.
But he knew he was forgiven-for-
given his mad folly and all she had suf.
fered in the two weary years.
1t was months, long months before
Gerard Carrisbroke was himself again;
but when once more strength came to
his limbs and the hue OF health to his
cheeks, he knew the demon Of jealousy
was laid forever and that his love and
faith would never wayer again, for
Love took up tho harp of life, and smote on
all the chords With might.
Smote the chord OF self that, trembling, passed
in music out OF sight"
