Elevator. in Tall Buildings.

Pending the result Of a movement to
restrict the height of our tall buildings,
there is one feature Of the problem
that has recently been called forcably
to the attention Of the public by the ac-
cident to the elevators in the Arleri-
can Tract Society building, the details
Of which were described In the En-
cheering Record, and that is the peril
attending the occupancy Of such high
structures where high speed elevators
and high pressure plants are intro
duced. 1t is quite practicable to regu-
late the matter in anticipation Of
action on the larger question of the
restriction of the height of buildings.
The risks attending the operation of
elevators designed to run at speeds of
from 500 to 100 feet per minute are
much greater than is generally sup
posed, yet they are fully appreciated
by experts. The demand for excessive
speeds like that required Of the build
ers of the elevators Of the Tract So
ciety building was assumed to be nee
essary in order to make available for
renting the ten upper stories Of this
twenty-three-story building. To reach
quickly these high stories an excessive
speed is called for, and with view to
economic the cost Of operation and
minimize space in the basement, high
pressure plants are designed, with the
result that the record for safety Of
elevator travel SO creditable to our ele-
vator builders in the past is likely to
be impaired. To obyiate this is should
be made illegal to operate passenger
elevators at a speed greater than 400
feet a minute. This will permit the
safety device to operate when the
peed reaches 500 to 800 feet per min

ALoui.iana Pocahontas.


The Pocahontas of the early days Oh
the colony of Louisiana, at least so fat
as devotion to the French was con-
cerned, was "Bras-Pique" (Tattooed
ARM, the mother Of the Great Sun or
ruler of the Natchez nation at the time
of the massacre of the French by the
Natchez on the 9th of November, 1923.
She suspected the great conspiracy
that was on foot among the Matches
to destroy the French, and, being q
faithful friend Of the latter, induced by
the solicitations Of her son, who was
only seventeen years old, to confess to
her that he had sent messengers to all
the Indian nations throughout Louis
lana, each message bearing bundle OF
sticks, and each bundle containing as
many sticks as the other. The instruc-
lions given to the other Indian nations
was to begin burning stick on GER
tain day, and when the last stick
should be consumed to fall on the
French in their vicinity and STAY them.
Bras-Pique had the details of the
plot communicated to Ohepart, the COM
mandant of the post, but finding that
he treated the warnings with con-
tempt, with the view of saving the ma
jority of the French in Louisiana by
dislocating the plan Of the conspiracy,
she entered the temple Of Natchez,
where the sacred fire" was perpetu-
ally maintained, and threw several
sticks from the bundle which had been
deposited in the temple on the fire, and
thus disarranged the Natchez part Of
the conspiracy. When the last stick
was burned the massacre Of nearly all
the French in the Natchez country fol-
lowed, but as the tragic event had been
precipitated by the stratagem of thu
devoted Bras-Pique, perrier, who a,
that time was governor Of the colony,
was enabled to take measures to save
the French elsewhere in the colony

JOURNALISTIC sign.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry S. Heath signs his name in a way
that excites the curiosity of many who
see his autograph. After his name he al
ways places a period within a small cir
Gle. The signature would not be COM
plete without this supplemental mark,
and the First Assistant Postmaster's
check would not be honored at his Bank
if the .circled period were omitted. Mem
bers of the Universal Postal Congress, no.
ticing this regularity, were puzzled to
know what American secret society it in
dlcated, as they regarded it as a mystic
emblem known only to members of the
order for which it stood.
The fact is that Mr.. Heath has carried
with him a mark he learned as printer,
newspaper correspondent and editor. As
a writer and eritor he was accustomed to
circling his periods, and he got in the
habit of doing it at the end of his sigma
ture. He formed the habit la years

L. There an Ethera

The great physicists of the day being
at one regarding the existence of this all
pervading ether, it would be a manifest
presumption for anyone standing without
the pale to challenge so firmly rooted a
belief. And, indeed. in any event, there
seems little ground on which to base such
a challenge. Yet 1T may not be alto
gether amiss to reflect that the physicist
of today is no more certain of his ether
than was his predecessor of the eigh-
tenth century of the existence of certain
alleged substances which he called phlog-
iston, ~caloric, corpuscles Of light, and
magnetic and electric fluids. 1t would
be but the repetition of history should
1t chance that before the close of another
century the ether should have taken its
place along with these discarded crea-
tons of the scientific imagination of
earlier generations. The philosopher. of
today feels very sure that an ether ex-
lists; but when he says there is mo
doubt" of its existence he speaks incau-
tiously, and steps beyond the bounds of
demonstration. He does not know that
action cannot take place at a distance;
he does not know that empty space it
self may not perform the functions which
he ascribes to his space-filling ether

FIRED BY LIGHTNING.

A slight fire occurred in the window of
the Columbia ice cream parlor, at Third
street n Jersey avenue, at midnight
last night. The fire was caused by the
lightning which struck the electric light
wires leading into the store, and set the
curtains and draperies aflame. Some be-
lated persons saw the electrical display
and the consequent blaze and gave an
alarm, which finally woke Mr.. Wolf. the
proprietor, as well as all the people on
the block. Wolf turned off the current
n with the aid of Mrs. Wolf and a few
cupfuls of water ~extinguished the flames.
When all was dark in the store and every
body was about to return to their in
terrupted sleep, the Fire Department
dashed up with a great clatter and awoke

About q Colonization Scheme.
The steamship docks in Hoboken pre-
sented a lively scene this morning. The
big steamer Normannia. of the Hamburg,
American Line, which was detained from
sailing last Thursday owing to an acci-
dent to her machinery, left her pier at
ten o'clock with a big crowd of pas
sengers.
Among those in the second cabin was
Commander Booth-Tucker of the Saliva
ton Army. Mr.. Tucker was accompanied
by Adjutant Ferris. He is on his way to
London, where he expects to hold a con-
sultation with the heads of the Army in
reference to the furtherance of his coloni-
cation scheme. The project which Mr..
Tucker expects to introduce, If carried
into effect, will be a new departure in
Salvation work. He proposes that the
Army purchase a large tract of epeap
land in some rural district and then Or
ganize a colony of the immense masses
Of unemployed which are now living in
poverty in the large cities of this country.
According to the plans each family will
be given a plot of ten acres.
A band of Salvationists were on the
pier to bid Commander Tucker bon
voyage. In the party were Colonel Hig,,
gins, Brigadier Cox, Captain McFee and
James E.. Davis. There was also on the
steamer the Rev. G.. E. Magill, rector of
