dian chief, called him the Flower of the
Forest" The Italian poet, Vittorio Alfieri,
called him 'Deliverer of America" In the

The Greatest BuiIding 4

The Greatest Building in the World.
An astonishing feature of the Column
bian exposition will be one of the palaces
grouped In the heart OF the fair grounds.
1t is the Manufactures building. 1t will
bear the same relation to this exposition
as the Eiffel tower did to that Of Paris
In 1889, and indeed its possible use as
vantage point from which to see the fair
grounds has terminated III the negative
the discussion for and against the con-
structlOn in Chicago Of a rival to the
great tower of Paris. This greatest of
all the exposition buildings, and Of the
buildings OF the world, Will present to
Lake Michigan a facade of such length
as to suggest the wall Of a city, yet it is
SO admirably designed, so light and
graceful III its effect upon the vision,
that its true extent can only be compre-
hended when Its dimensions are ex-
pressed in figures and by comparisons.
1t Is one-third of a mile long, and to
compass it round about is to walk a
mile The roof Of it is 1858 by 7SS feet,
and the span Of the dome, the largest
ever attempted. Is 3SS feet The roof is
$50 feet from the ground. and the build
ing has forty acres of ground floor. Two
OF the vast machinery halls of the Paris
exposition could be wheeled through it.

which Chicago is most proud. could be

Mixed at the Font.

One of the queereSt incidents that ever
befell Catholic priest in the perform
ance of his duties occurred at the old
cathedral more than week ago and was
witnessed by Il large crowd who were
viewing the decorations The baptiSrnal
ceremony was being performed at the
font and the recipients of the sacrament
were pair of lusty lunged twins One
of the youngsters had come into the
world weakly and was baptized instant
ly by an attendant
The priest got wind Of the matter. AMI
when the time came for performing tie
ceremony asked the godmother which
was the regenerated babe Consterna-
ton reigned supreme. The twins had
got hope.essly mixed. rs usual. and the
similarity Of appearance rendered iden-
LITIGATION impossible. The nurse w2s

priest ended the dilemma by giving both
the Youngsters conditional baptism and
the family went home s2tished.-St.

A rev Kind of iifehoat has been cor
gtructed to the order of the Boulogne
Humane society on model designed by
one of it's members The construction
Of the new boat is simple and econoIn-
ical, and could be adapted to any sea-
going rowing boat. The invention con-
sists in the introduction of air tight COP
per chambers. broad at the gunwale
and diminishing at the bilge, placed on
the outside Of the boat, where they are
equally distributed. so as not to interfere
with the sweep Of the oars. The tops of
the chambers shelve down outward,
forming Il smooth gunwale, ten inches
broad anidships and tepering away fore
and aft.
These compartments are protected
from injury by casing forming double
bulwarks, inasmuch as the shape of the
hall preserves perfectly its boatlike APP
pearances. it means really little
more beam and consequently more sta
bility. The proposed new feature does
not at all affect the speed of the vessel.
In addition to these compartments cham
bers can he fitted fore and aft. 1t has
been usual TO place the air or cork lined
chambers inside Hfeboats, especially on
board of ships lifeboats.
The outward application of these air
cases gives greater sOlidity to the boats
side in the event of being STAYED in, and
will tend to prevent accidents such as
happen through people bringing their
weight to bear on one side of boat when
pulling person out of the water. A
boat fitted as described has been tested
with the combined weight of six persons
assembled on one side.
All this weight failed to overturn the
boat, the water tight compartments
brought into contact with the water
resulting only in giving the boat par
tial list and so far proving its resisting
power and buoyancy. The new boat is
1718 feet long, is built OF elm and cost
