gencies arising every day on these noun
tain heights. a beam falls out of place,
rope stacks suddenly or an order Is mis-
understood. Again, some monster beam
must be put In position, and the ratient
care of many men is essential They
must cooperate and be well known TO
each other. A single false move on the
part OF one would most likely mean the
destruction OF all.
Yet In spite OF the attendant risk the
serious accidents are very few. This Is
at least a tribute 10 the men who follow
so lofty a pursuit, in very literal sense.
IL is rather strange that so few poets
ever get TO the summit OF these metal
skeletons. The foremap OF the gang now
toiling on the Tract Society building. and
he has been in the business eighteen
years. does not remember having in all
his experience seen one poet up top" as
he puts A. He attributes the fact TO the
timidity OF bards. Certainly no poets
eye in a fine frenzy rolling, could sweep
a more effective vista than such one as
this.
Whether this structure marks the apex
OF accomplishment in that line, or wheth-
err We shall ascend INTELLECTUALLY TO
height on height of deed and thought,
like the knight In waverly. is a matter
upon which every man employed on the
building had but one opinion. The fore
man said that every building he had
worked on was higher than the last. and
he felt sure that the progression would

Himself, TO tackle q thrifty -eight-story job

The men themselves think their work
very healthy. II seems to tougher
them amazingly. and longevity, apart
from accident Ia the rule OF the trade.
But Il is the reformer who now seeks
to- bring down the pride of the office
building architect who must feel most
concerned In thisSsspect OF the matter.
There is strong agitation In New
York, Chicago and other big cities to
make such leviathans illegal. but to all
appearances they seem destined TO
swell grandly from the vale as usual.
II IL be pardonable to put it as some of
the poets who never soar to these sum-
mits. might put it If they ever happened
TO be around.

but he wonders how the author OF Faust
resisted the impulse TO leap out into
space. The author OF Trilby has quite
an essay on the subject in the pretty col
lection OF bric-a-brac written In French
years ago. For Du Maurier wrote for his
bread and butter long before he took
permanently TO the pencil, but only the
French public knew him. II surprises
the Gallo readers to finsf their Du Maui
rier now hailed an artist turned
author. To them he is an author turned
artist.
But that. as Thacksray would say, Is
a DEPRESSION. Du Maurier can only be
brought into court on the plea OF his con-
