The Leaning Tower 4 saragossa.


A committee appointed to report on
the famous TorTe~N uova in the Plaza
San Filipe. in the capital of Aragon,
has issued a pessimistic account. It is
feared that this clock tower, very fine
example Of the kind, will have to be
pulled down. Excessive rains and floods
have caused subsistence of the soil and
the structure is deemed unsafe. The
construction Of this torre inclinada was
begun in the Fifteenth century, under
the direction of two Spanish, two Moor
ish and one Jewish architect; it is
octagona1 in form, 800 feet high, As in
diameter, and leans about 10 feet out
Of the perpendicular. Stone steps, 2G0
IN number. lead inside to the top gallery.
It has been stated that the leaning Of
the tower was due to the caprice of the
architects. but an old crack in its side
and careful examination of the founda-
ton led to the conclusion that it was
want Of care on the part Of the builders.
The Aaragonese speak OF the ancient
crack as an old wound in its side, Of
which the Tore Nuova is now dying.
This "old wound" was under treatment
In the year 1860, but an unfortunate re-
lapse threatens to result in an entire col

Tho Real Uses or Aluminium.

In The Cosmopolitan Magazine Mr..
Joseph W. Richards strips the new metal

has grown up around it, and tells Us

Some of the good qualities of the new
metal are that it viii not tar1iish from
sulphur as silver does. and will not cor.

minum tube was the only one that could
be used for Emperor Frederick's throat.
The metal is only one third as heavy

it is only third as strong as steel. and

GOOD state Rlghts, poctrlne.

One Of the problems that this country
must grapple immediately is that Of
land irrigation or rainmalxing. which
ever method will bring water to the az
riculturist in the west. Here the richest
crops Of our country can be grown. and
population Is pressing hard on the Dor.
ders Of the desert. The Mormons, in
Utah found out how to irrigate and
bring great crops. What Brigham
Young and his slaves did other people
can do.
The question Of who shall perform the
work Of irrigation is difficult and even
dangerous one. The United States gov,
eminent itself cannot build and control
irrigation works. Their construction
and maintenance would require SIM
Of money beside which the appropria
tions Of even the billion dollar congress
would pale. Private corporations could

The United States land commissioner
however, makes q suggestion that viii
fit the case. He recommends that con
gress transfer the whole matter to indi

allowing each to irrigate her own section
according to her geographical require

The full development Of several Of til,
new states and territories depends OF
this matter Of irrigation and it is reason
able to suppose that each state can loo'

Getting Rich Fast.

Two young men near Los Angeles,
Cal, are rapidly making fortune slay-
ing coyotes. Last April they were not
worth fifty dollars, but now they have
$3,700 to their credit in bank and they
are adding about $3.50 q week to their
deposit. They have fifty traps set. and
with these and their rifles are rapidly
thinning out the coyotes in Los Angeles
and San Bernardino counties. At five
dollars scalp there is more money in
hunting coyotes than in growing grain
or fruit, but the business will probably
come to an end when the next legisla-
ture meets. The law which was passed
as q joke has proved ito be very costly

The principle Is that Of taking air rp

Is left open all around the fire. the space

The distribution Of this hot air equally
over the fire catches the gases from the

and ignites and burns them.
Thus only about 90 per cent. Of the
usual amount Of smoke contains no car
bon, IS not dirty at all and IS white

strates the principle Of his device in q
stove, where the results are more easily
seen. The stove il fitted with three fire
clay pipes on each side to conduct the
air. The stove burns any kind Of coal

smoke be seen to arise. The stove makes
its own draft from the airshaft. The
flame burns inward and close to the

Of the chimney shows no smoke going

In Cleveland From the skylight of the
Arcade building six Brush lamps, each
of 1000 candle power, are suspended.
Along a railing in front of the first gal
lery are finely wrought iron standards
supporting large colored glass shades
inside Of which are the small bulbs OF
lncandescent lamps. Over the top gal
lery these lamps are suspended from
the mouths of lions and tigers, whose
bronze heads are placed at the ends of
the iron girders supporting the sky

At the worlds fair the preparations
for wonderful effects in electric lighting
are well under way. and the building set

The work Of lighting the Administra-
ton building has finally been approved.
On the ground door eight standards
will be set up, each about eighteen feet
high and carrying fifty incandescent
lamps. In each of the four entrances
To the building viii be two clusters of
twenty-five lights. Within, at the level
of the mezzanine floor, about eighty
five feet from the ground floor, is the
rotunda gallery. In each alternate post
of this gallery there will be a seven
light standard. On the cornice, about
one hundred and thirty feet from the
floor and just at the base of the dome a
circle OF about fourteen hundred lights
has been placed, arranged in rosettes.
just above the false dome. in the space
between it and the dome proper, a
dozen arc lamps have been located.
Their position is such that they illu-
inmate the interior of the dome proper
from behind the false dome in such a
manner as to best reveal the beauty Of
its decoration. The light is shed through
the opening in the false dome by refec-
ton. the lamps being out of sight. The
effect Is one of diffusion rather than of
the usual painful brilliancy. All told,
thirty-seven hundred lights will be used
in the building.
