that it will differ considerably in color

able whether it will harmonize pleas
antly. When the tower was first plan
ned, it was proposed to paint the iron
work white, so as TO give the impression
that the entire tower was Of marble.
This idea was abandoned, however, on
account Of the expense that would be
forever eptailed in painting tho struc-
ture and the great risk that would at
tend the operation. The introduction Of
aluminium was hailed as solution Of
the trouble, bat il is yet doubtful whether
it will really prove so. The coating Of
the ironwork with aluminium, which Is
all done at Tacony, is the biggest job
in which that interesting metal has ever
been put TO commercial uses. -Phila-
