HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.
The Great Tower at Wembley Park EN
ceeds the Eiffe1 by l75 Feet.

ceeds the Eiffe1 by rs Feet.
From Harpers Young Peoplel
st Wembley park, which is about six miles
from the heart Of London, there IS in the
course of erection at the present time tower
the total height of which will be 1,15O feet,
IFS feet higher than the EifTel tower Unlike
the latter tower, which gazes down on the
houses and roofs of the crowded city, the
Wembley tower crowns an eminence of the
beautiful Wembley park, afTording lovely
view OF the surrounding country.
1t VII be a stra ange sight TO look on the
birds flying in the trees so far beneath one.
for at the foot of the tower is a famous rook-
cry, where the rocks gather and chatter from
morning till night. and also one OF the old
ivy-coored English cottages, which has stood
there for over 100 years. A few years ago
the building of such towers as these would
have been impossible. it is only with the
new methods of handling steel and iron grid
ers that such structures can be successfully
put up. Over $50 men are now employed fit
ting pieces of the tower together. and it is
wonderful what rapid progress they make.
Ths foundations which have TO support
such tremendous weight above them have to
be laid in place and kept there for a long time,
TO allow for the settling in the earth. There
are four legs at the base. and each leg is COM
posed OF four smaller legs, or better, feet
They rest on tremendous foundations that
were place in position over two years ago
These foundations are made of stone and con-
crete. upon which are fastened the iron plates
TO which the legs are attached.
The material OF which the tower proper is
composed is called mild steel" There is not
such a network of intricate little girders as we
pee in the Eiffel Tower; the spaces are more
open. and the tower appears TO be narrower
and lighter in the air. The ''lifts,' as they
call them in England, or the elevators. as We
call them here. which are to carry the people
TO the top of the observatory. are four in num-
Der. Two of them go up TO the first platform
only, which is at height OF $50 feet from the
ground. and two will go up to 900 feet, where
there is to be an upper landing. Above this
there will be several smaller landings. 20 be
reached by stairs only.

Second Thoughts

IFrom the New ORR Herald.1
1t is announced that bullet-proof cuirass
invented by Hiram Maxim has been success
fully tested in England. This reminds US OF
Columbus and the egg. When the great dis
coverer demonstrated how easy it was to find
new continents whole host of naviyators
trimmed their sails and steered westward.
Tailor DOVE, of Mannheim. no sooner demon
stra.ed that it was possible to make coat
that would resist the bullets of modern rifles
than his invention has been improved on. and
no doubt many inventors. like the men who
questioned Columbus four centuries ago. are
now wondering how it is that they never
thought of it before.

= notorious gambler. was shot in the back
and killed as he was going home. Three
days was consumed in the coroner's in-
quest without developing anything by
which the guilt might be fastened, but NJ
q. Wills, q local detective, has been work

month ago Mrs. Brassard, or Bsgweli. who
claimed TO ba the wife of the murdered

This developed q sensational soene in

stand and testified that, made reckless hy
liquor and concealed in the shadow of .

away from him and under the full giare of
the electric light he raised ride which
had previously been handed him by La
