terror and dismay on all sioes- People
rushed from their houses INTO the streets,
houses rocked. pictures fell from their hang
ings. thousands of panes of glass were
broken, and the cupalO of the house of par
lament shook violently and then collapsed
with crash. Tue scene in the streets after
the explosion was never equaled IN modern
times. Ali the thoroughfares were strewn
with debris, people of all ages were rushin 2
fraEtically around the streets. The walls Of
many of the houses were rent with great
cracks and in many instances the people
we're thrown from their beds A general
cry of terror filed the air. At first it was
thought that Rene had been visited by a
terrible earthquake; but finally the real
cause of the shock was found to have been
the explosion of an Immense powder maya
zine at Pozzo Pantaleo, which caused enor-

be eight elevators, one of which Will
be especially devised and reserved for
the transportation of heavy safes and
other freight. Three viii run between
the first and tenth stories. Two will
run to the twentieth story, not stop

two will run to the top of the building,

appearance of the proposed structure.
While really built of steel and iron, it
will look Ike a massive aggregation of
marble, granite and brick, handsomely
Ornamented- No idea is given as to
the cost of such a structure beyond
the statement that the average ex-
pense per floor would be not more than
a third of the cost of a building con-
strueted on the ordinary plan, taking
into consideration, that is, the rental
value of the enhanced space obtained
for occupation.

ONE of the latest novelties in astro-
nomical phenomena. as brought to
light by studying the spectra of GER
tain stars, is the showing that two of
these, heretofore classed as single, are
in fact double, and belong to that class
known as binary stars, or pairs which
revolve about common center. The
binaries thus discovered are the stars
known as Zeta, Ursa Majoris and Beta
Aurige, the former being that star
which, in popular phrase, would be de-
scribed as the middle star in the han
die Of the Clipper"
