In word: This will not only raise the
visitor to greater attitude. than the fam
Gus French tower. but give him ride that
will make all previously constructed swings
and -merry-go-rounds- seem trivial in com
parison.
The swinging tower viii also serve as q
means of Transporting people from one
portion of the grounds to another. The
modest inventor proposes to construct two
OF them. one turning east and west. and the
other north and south.
In the line Of transporting people from
place to place. the suggestion Of an enor-
nous ry-go-round. something IKE a

proposed to have 1t on level with the
ground. and to be kept constantly In

able people to step on and OF without dan

This win be $40 Ieet high. IT'S feet wide. and
$50 feet long. It win be reached by elsva-

used as q grand promenade.
The globe will be reached by eight ele-
Vators from a central support below its
center, and also by two in each leg of the
tower. making sixteen in all The towers

One of the most elaborate and costly Of
all the schemes proposed emanates also
from New York, and is called the Driveway
Spiral Tower.
This is to be 1.6O0 feet in height, 400 feet
in diameter at the base, tapering gradually
to 225 feet at the top. 1t is to be built of a
lattice work OF iron, as open as possible to
allow for the free passage of the wind. thus
reducing to minimum the danger Of its
blowing down.
Inside the tower will be constructed a
double spiral roadway extending from the
ground to the observatory, or platform, at
the top. The grade Of these circular road
ways will be but feet in 1000, which will

the tallest of earthly structures, and, as q
reference to the Illustration Of our artist
will show. makes the great cathedrals of
Europe and the pyramids Of Egypt appear
insignificant. while the famous Column of
July and the Opera House Of Paris become
veritable pigmies in comparison to its tow
ering height
Great as is the elevation attained BY this
wonderful structure. the cranks OF Chicago
and the West propose to out-do the French
and fairly pierce the clouds.
They design to rival. If not surpass. their
ancestors who furnished the plans and
specifications from which the Tower of
Babel was constructed. the only difference
being that in the modern instance the con-
fusion Of tongues seems to have anita
dated the beginning Of their work.
There Is no scheme so wild or extravagant
that 1t does not find advocates. One man
grRvely proposes to construct an arch that
shall reach to an elevation of 1000 feet, and
span the city for the distance Of mile or two.
The proposition is to build it Of wrought
iron. on the cantilever- bridge principle.
Once In place. it could put the BROOKLYN
bridge into its vest pocket. and cause the
mythical Colossus Of Rhodes to turn green
with envy. The only trouble is the uttar
impossibility Of its construction.

Keeping Plants in Winter.

Doors opening into the room in which
you keep flowers should have strips of
listing tackled about them in such
way as to close all cracks through
which the wind can enter. A strong
wind will blow more cold into room
in moderate weather than will be likely
to penetrate in still nights when the
thermometer is down to zero. There
fore be sure to fortify against the ad-
mission of air through these inlets. It
is a good plan to take a day for doing
this work, and begin at one corner of
the room, and go over it thoroughly,
finishing up each part as you go along.
By systematizing the work in this way.
you are sure to have it well done; but
if you stop a crack here and there, and
now and then, as it happens to be dis
covered, you will be pretty sure to
have poor job of it, taken as a whole.
If your plants should freeze, as soon
as you discover what has been done put
them in a dark room, or the cellar,
where the temperature is but little
above freezing, and sprinkle, or rather,
shower them with cold water. In most
cases, such plants as Additions, Ger
aniums, and others of similar charac-
ter, can, if taken in time, before al
lowed to thaw, be saved, and I have
had quite tender plants come through
the ordeal with comparatively little in
jury. The frost must be extracted
gradually, and with the application of
as little heat as possible. Keep them
away from the light and warmth for
two or three days. If the tops wilt
after the frost has been extracted you
may feel sure that the wilted portion
cannot be saved, so cut it off at once,
and be sure to cut below that part
which appears affected by the frost.
If some of the frosted part is left on,
very often decay sets in which extends
to the stalks below. Should the whole
top seem killed, it does not follow that
the roots have not vitality enough left
to send up new shoots, so do not throw
them out till you have given them
trial.-Ebe11 E. Rerford, in Ladies'
Home Journal.

His Boots Are Number 16.

Mr.. Arnold, of Thompson, is only
sixteen years old, but he is over six
feet tall and his feet are famous, writes
q Connecticut correspondent. They are
bigger than any other feet in Windham
County, and perhaps in the New En-
gland States. Young Thompson step
ped into Eli Tracy's shoe shop at Cen
trail Village the other day and said he
would like to have the shoeman make
him pair of boots.
"All right" said Eli, "just put your
foot on this measure, and I'll get your
size"
Thompson tried to do as he had been
hidden, but found it impossible to COM
ply with the request Although Tracy
slipped the marker out to the Jump
ing off place on the measure, there was
not nearly room enough to accommo-
date the young mans extraordinary
foot.
well" said he looking up aghast
II neverl You beat the record. What
size boot do you usually wear?"
~Oh, generally 1 can get on sixteens,
replied the youth, with ingenious com
placency, ~but latterly they've pinched
my feet some, and / guess I'll take a
size or two larger this time"
Tracy then made an approximate es
innate of the big foot, and found that
it cal ed for boot one inch and hal
longer than his measure. II can't fl
the bill for you" said he, %for You take
boot bigger than any last that i,
made"
So young Thompson had to go ava,
without hope, and he is in a dilemma
The prospect is that he viii have to e
unshod during the remainder of hi
life unless he can persuade SOM

especially for his use, which viii b

| height of LOCO feet from the ground. Di-
rectly beneath the center he lays the foun-
| dalton for the tower. This he constructs
until the arch is reached. a distance OF
/ 1000 feet Then he builds second arch,
having the same foundations as the first
one, rising above it distance OF 900 feet.
The tower Is then carried up to this arch
| and left for the time, while the enterpris-
ing architect builds a third aud similar
| arch, which rises 800 feet above the Sec
ond. The tower is then continued so as to
furnish central support, at height of
2,700 feet from the ground.
This would seem to fill the bill and sur
pass anything that Marco Polo saw In
China but Our Baron" is far from being
satisfied. He has more -suds left in his
basin and will blow bigger bubble, If he
/ bursts for It.
Above the third and last .arch he erects
the fourth. and. so far as heard from. the
final section OF the great central tower.
| This rises to the modest height OF 1900
| feet, and terminates In an observatory Of
vast proportions. This makes total alti-
tude of 400 feet, or about eight-ntnths Of
/ q mile.
The tower as its inventor naively re-
marks, will be fitted with perfect system
| of electric cars, which will convey passen-
gers to any part of the structure. The cost
| OF the work is not given. but to the uniniti-
| ated in the art Of castle building would
seem to be considerable.
A New York man has furnished contri-
button which, though not rivaling the
three-arch scheme in vastness OF proper
tons, makes up for its seeming modesty in
that direction in the novelty OF its operation.
| He proposes to construct an enormous
swinging tower, 1000 feet long. which will
describe a complete semicircle. passing
| from a horizontal to vertical position,
and continuing its course till it again re-
sumes horizontal position. At the ex-
| IRENE end of the tower will be platform
or car, capable OF accommodating 1000
people, and swung on an axis in such a
manner as to constantly retain an upright
position.
Thus, in its course. the passengers in the
car will describe the half OF a circle
having a diameter Of 1900 feet. or
3,141 feet This may. without indulg-
ing in any fight OF fancy. be termed
a thrilling aerial fight" When the tower
| reaches a vertical position, 1t will be
| brought to a stop to enable its numerous
passengers to take observations from a

towers. Chicago has very tall buildings
now. and. if the fair is located there, viii
erect some veritable -sky-scrapers." One,
OF which sketch is given. will be OF twen-
ty-eight stories.
1t will be built of iron. and contain no
wood except what Is used in the doors and
windows, being in consequence absolutely
1re-proof. 1t will be furnished with thir-
teen elevators. one for every two floors
above the second, which will stop to re-
ceive passengers at no others than the ones
they serve.
It will be $50 feet In height, containing
nearly loo rooms. and b. perfect and
complete in all its appointments. The
plans for this structure have been prepared.
and whether or not the architect is to be
classed with cranks remains to be Sc n.
To Western eyes the greatest cranks who
have thus fa- thrown down the gauntlet and
entered the arena, are found in the New
York Worlds fair committee, who hope to
locate the wonderous prize In their metro
politsn city by looking wise and holding
secret meetings.
However, it Is difficult to tell who viii be
Governor until after the election. New York
may come out victorious, and all the Span
ish castles Of the other cranks be erected
according to the plans and specifications.

Artistic Furnishings.

"One of the most essential points in
furnishing" remarked careful house
keeper, is to see that YOU get good
carpets-carpets that will wear well
and that viii not soon go out of style.
This, of course, is on the supposition
that you do not propose to change your
carpets with every slight change of
fashion, but may desire to practice a
perfectly comfortable economy. Good
wearing quality and good taste do not
necessarily mean that the carpet must
be expensive. In choosing, take subdued
colors-neither extremely light nor
Oakland small patterns are best in
the long run. Then come the curtains,
which are very important. because you
have to think not only of interior but
also of exterior effects. When curtains
and carpets are bought, if your means
are moderate, you can then buy your
furniture slowly, adding to it carefully,
redressing and covering old furniture,
thus economiZing as much as you
please"
Tapestries and ingrains seem to be

them are so beautiful in design and
colorings, the housekeeper of refined
taste, though not wealthy, can easily
crafty them in this direction.
Among curtains, especially among
the richer fabrics. there is great deal
of brocade, and the flowers are quite
as apt to be overshot as woven into the
goods. Old roses and pink tints are
much used this season, and they COM
bine finely with grays and browns. In
colors there is nothing better for wear
and good general effect than Madras.
1t comes forth this season as popular
as ever, and some new grades have
been added. One handsome Madras
set was silk striped, with dash of tin
sci. TWAS very heavily fringed, which
added much to its beauty.
Muslin curtains are becoming more
and more popular. Irish point excel,
too, as they have a rich appearance
even when not costly. Among white
curtains Irish point and Nottingham
lace are the most satisfactory, unless
one pays a very high price.-NeaO York

a trot. This would make drive of nearly
four miles. or almost eight for the round
trip.
The other spiral will be for cars. which
will be run on what is called the thread

The cars are to be run once minute and
