The rapidly enhancing value Of real
estate in large cities and the tendency
to utilize to the fullest extent every foot
of available space by erecting sky
scraping buildings has led a Boston
architect to make a very bold and strik-
ing prediction. He has put on paper a
design for what he terms 1.-THE building
of the future" which for originality
probably exceeds anything ever con-
ceived in an architects mind. The
building he has drawn is circular in
shape, with breaks in its interior at in
tervals for light and air shafts. 1t is Il

signed to accommodate 10000 people.

IN the face Of the continued low price
Of wheat it is rather remarkable that
the farmers Of the country have just
planted a larger acreage than last
years. AS if the ~over-supply from %,
51S. 19j acres in 1894 were not sufficient

35S acres in wheat-an increase of 1Oo,-
563 acres over last year. And this they
have done while that grain was selling
at 90 cents in Chicago, and when in
Oregon and the Puget Sound country
the elevators are full of wheat that was
going begging at 20 cents Il bushel.
There is every reason to believe that
on all but the largest wheat farms these
prices do not V the cost Of produc-
ton. one is therefore forced to accept
Secretary Morton'S theory of the why
and wherefore of this blind tempting
of fate by the farmers. He says that
wheat is the lazy mans crop. and that
the American farmer unwisely insists
on raising the crop involving the small
est amount of manual labor. trusting to
luck to bring him out with Il profit.
This. added to the superstition that
two years of plenty will be followed by
a short harvest, has led the Northern
farmers to repeat with wheat the very
mistake the Southern farmers have for
years pcrpetratcd with regard to cot
ton. 1t is possible. however, that not
enough allowance has been made for
the important discovery forced upon
the farmers during the last year. OF the
