Architectural Possibilities.

From the New York Tribune.
When Bunker Hill monument was COM
pleted the people of Massachusetts looked
upon it as a lofty shaft. II Bunker Hill
monument could be set today by the side
of come of the towering business buildings
in New York city it would look trivial and
insignificant. These cloud-kissing temples
of trade would be still more useful than
they are at present II a practical system
of navigation of the air could be invented.
How convenient and pleasant it would be
to step from the twenty-second story of
one of these sky-scrapers into an aerial
car and be waited smoothly and safely to
the thirtieth story of another mountain
height of building in few seconds. All
the bother of going up and down in ele-
vators would be avoided, and much time
and trouble would be saved. If, however,
journeys through the air do not become
customary within few years 1t may be
desirable to connect the upper stories of
these tall buildings with bridges Take
some Of the highest buildings in Broadway,
for instance. If bridges were thrown be-
tween them people could pass from one to
another much more speedily than they can
at the present time, and with an important
economy of time and trouble. The posi-
bilities of the New York of the future,
with buildings of thirty, forty and fifty
stories scattered all over the town, and
connected by network of light but strong
steel bridges far up in the air, appeal
strongly to the Imagination.

A. BIG GLASS TRUST.
FIRST Step Taken in the Purchase of
the Diamond Company's Plant.

FIRST Step Taken in the Purchase OF
the Diamond COmpany's Plant.
The evolution Of the Pittsburg Plate
Glass Company into a trust controlling all
of the plate glass companies in the coun-
try took its first step this week in the
purchase of the properties of the Diamond
Plate Glass Company. the great western
rival Of the eastern concerns. Col. A. l..
Conger of the Diamond. company presided
over a meeting of the stockholders at the
Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, and pre-
sented the proposition of the Pittsburg
Plate Glass Company for the purchase.
The, proposition was accepted and the
board of directors authorized to close the
sale.
Though declining to give the figures in
the transaction, Col Conger said the in
sented $3,OOO,O00 The company has some
valuable gas holdings in the Indiana fields
and operates a factory at kokomo and
another at Elwood, Ind, employing at the
present time 1,600 people.
For several years the plate glass interests
had a strong combination or trust on prices
and kept prices up to a profitable margin.
All of the factories were stocked up with
glass and the dull times had brought about
a big slump in the trade. In an effort to
rearrange prices the combination fell to
pieces, and ever since then a sharp COM
petition has marked the trade. The Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company represents some
of the best elements and the largest CAPT.
tai in the old combine and is endeavoring
to, secure control Of the trade by direct
purchase Of all the plants. With the cap
ture of the Diamond company the others
are expected to follow.

From the Chicago Tribune.

tron tue CnlcaS0 tribune.
For some days patrolmen who travel
beats in the neighborhood Of Prairie ave-
nue. and 18th street have been startled, and
some of them not little frightened, by a
strange animal which they occasionally
encountered in alleys or saw lodging from
back yards and racing down dark streets
Whatever 1t be, the brute~is having lots of
fun at the expense of the policemen and
the milkmen of the district, to say MOTH
ing Of an occasional joke with some house
keeper who carelessly leaves her days sup
ply Of meat exposed on the back porch.
About the time the animal began to ap-
pear in the neighborhood houselkeepers be-
gan to complain that their days supply of
milk was being stolen as soon as it was
left by the milk dealer. The complaints be-
came so numerous that one OF the milkmen
decided to keep watch. He saw the thing
and fired at it, but made miss. 1t was a
small gray wolf or coyote. People in the
neighborhood say that the animal has been
seen frequently during the recent days of
the mill weather.. 1t was also around; last
fall, but during the winter was not to be
seen, and it was thought to be dead or to
have sought some place where living was
easier to secure.
Lieut. O'Brien has an explanation which
he thinks may account for the presence of
the animal in his district. Last summer,
he says. man came to a small hotel in
State street, having with him four prairie
wolves. which he thought were securely
fastened in cage. But during his stay at
the hotel the animals got loose. The owner
advertised for the recovery of his pets, but
without avail. No trace of them could be
found. Lieut.. O'Brien thinks the beast
which is bothering his policemen is one Of
the long-lost wolves.
The policemen at the station are prac-
ticing with their revolvers. and there is
likely to be wolf skin nailed to the sta
ton house door before long.

An Error I'm Copying Makes CoDsitler-

An error by some congressional clerks In
making up the copy of. the sundry civil APP
priation bill sent to the President has baked
the intention of Congress in providing for
/: the establishment of two military posts 1t
involves also, the rivalry Of the cities Of
Seattle and Tacomaa WASH. and probably
will result in favortof Seattle When the
bill was pending in the House Senator
Squire;. who lives at Seattle. gave notice of
an amendment for the establishment by the
Secretary Of War Of a post on Puget sound
This would mean post at Seattle as Gen.
OTIS in, command of the Department of the
Columbia, had already reported In favor of
that point. Representative Deolittles who
lives at Tacoma, then offered an amend.
ment in the House for post at Puget
sound, with a proyiso that it's location
should be determined by a. board of army
officers none of whom should be stationed
In the department where the post was To-
Gated. This was adopted in the House. The
Senate struck out the proviso for an ex-
animation, by an army board Senator
Roach of North Dakota offered an amend
ment in the. Senate, which was adopted,
providing for the abandonment of the mill
tary post at Fort Yates and the establish
ment Of a post at Bismarck, North Dakota.
When the bill was in conference an agree-
ment was reached to restore the Doolittle
amendment with some slight notifications,
but which necessitated its being rewritten.
1t now appears that the provision for a
board Of army officers to. examine and re-
port upon the hest site applies to the Bis
marck post, while the Secretary may go
ahead and locate the post on Puget sound at
his discretion. The department cannot act
on what may have been the intention of
Congress, but must construe the law and
apply it as it reads. 1t will be serious
disappointment to dozen or more am
bilious places on Puget sound, which We're
getting ready to present their claims for
the post to a board appointed for that pur-
pose Now the claims will be presented to
the Secretary, who will probably be gov
who have examined the matter;and the. last

Seattle, will have great weight. The Spo-

While the officers were out this morning
Investigating the fires at the two churches
yesterday there was an incendiary at work
in South Washington. This incendfary, the
police think, was a colored woman, al
though they have not succeeded in tracing
the crime to any particular individual.
The building; set on fire is a small story
frame structure at No. 202 NJ street SOUTH
west, which Is occupied by colored man
named Alonzo Whitfield as a barber shop
The fire was started on the outside of the
little struc ture where some rags saturated
with coal oil were set on fire and oil had
also been sprfnkled on the building. Soon
after the match was applied Policemen
Bruce and Purks came along and they ex-
tinguished' the flames before any damage
was done. Whitfield, the owner Of the
shop. was married last night, and the po-
lice have an idea that some, woman who
wanted the barber and could not get him
committed the crime.

rhe Country IN stilf Young.

From the worcester spy
Every now and then we are reminded how
young this country is. A man named John
L. Gill died in Columbus, Ohio. the other
day, at the advanced age of ninety. who was
the originator of the immense coal business
Of that state. In the year 1927 or 1928 he
took four six-horse wagon loads Of stoves
to Athens. and on the trip saw blacksmith
using coal. Inquiry developed that the coal
was dug from the Athens hills The black
smith was induced TO dig sufficient coal to
load the teams on their return trip. On ar
rival in Columbus the coal was sold at 90
cents bushel, SIS per ton. and used for
blacksmithing purposes in connection with
the stage coach line. This was the first
coal ever carried to Columbus for manu-
featuring purposes from the valley. and
was the commencement of an industry in
which great sums of money are invested
and thousands of miners employed, and
that has materially aided in making Ohio
one of the great manufacturing common
wealths of the United States. And this was
less than seventy years ago.
