LAWSON'S LARGE CONTRACT
The Terrible Swede After New
Fifty-Mile Figures.
He VIII Attempt to Lower Dono-
ghue's Record at the Ice
Palace Thursday Night.

Although there will be no special at
traction at the Convention Hall Ice Palace
this week, with the exception of Thurs
day evening, the skating at the rink will
prove sufficient to attract a large number
of people There has been Just enough
skating ON natural ice to inspire those
who have cnjoyedit TO pursue their recrea-
ton. Those who have Just begun will
want to become proficient, Willie those
who are past masters in the art will.
without doubt, now that they had a
beginning Of the season, continue it at
the rink.
There are also some advantages to be
gained by skating at the. rink which it
would be wise tn consider The first one
is that there is absolutely 10 danger from
falling into tile water. of course, it is
just as easy to fall at tie rink as ON
any other ice, but there are no weak spots
on the surface and no considerations of
safety to mar the sport. Another thing
is tie excellent music that is furnished by
tile Ice Palace orchestra that is in attend
ance at every session. Everyone knows
how inspiring music is, and when it is
added to the sport of skating it makes it
one of the most delightful recreations
there is. Added to these reasons there
are the handsome rooms, always warm
and comfortable, that are set apart for
the uses OF the patrons Of the rink In
fact, there is no rink in the world as
perfectly and completely equipped as the
one at tile National Capital. Those who are
steady patrons OF the place Will testify TO
this, while 1t is fact that no one has
been to attend who did not want, and in
fact who did not come back, not only
tile second, but the third and fourth time
as well.
The rink was closed last night, as is the
usual case now, and will also be closed
tonight. Despite the skating outside the
morning and afternoon sessions were well
attended, and it is safe to say that those
enjoyable time than those who used the
article furnished by nature.
on Thursday evening John Lawson the
Terrible Swede, will start at OIL 3 in an
endeavor to lower the worlds record for
fifty miles This record now stands at 3
hours 3 minutes and 20 20 seconds, and
was made in S94 by Joe DOnoghue
The Swede has improved wonderfully in
his skating since his first attempt here and
the standing figures. Lawson's starting at
81 will bring the finish, as he expects,
at about $40 This will keep the votaries
OF the steels from the ice hut a few min
utes, while those who come at 7:30 when
the doors are opened will see the finish
to this game attempt.
The morning times., 1897-02-02
WILL THEY ToTTER EvER2
How Long VIII the Steel Frames of
Tall Buildings Last.

What is occurring or what Will occur TO
the metallic portions OF the many tall
buildings that are in process OF erection at
the present time, under great dissimilarty
as regards temperature, humidity, and
other climatic conditions, hut of one char
acteristic sameness, viz, being sealed in
solid masonry or other coverings beyond
the ken OF inspection? Probably no en-
gineering question today is entitled to
more serious consideration than this one.
In discussing 1t recently before the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers,
Mr. NJ. p. Wood maintained that while in
spection of some OF the buildings now in
progress, as well as some OF those lately
erected, reveals possibly a slight improve
nent in the means of preservation adopted
over those apparent a short time ago, yet
the Improvement is a hollow mockery, and
Will bear fruit for repentance before many
years have passed.
These structures, though more carefully
painted than those erected before, with
more and heavier coatingS of some kind OF
stuff called paint, do not appear in a single
case to have received any attention or
consideration rs TO the Condition of the
metallic surfaces before applying the pro-
tective coating, beyond a possible wipe with
a dirty broom to get rid of the rough dirt
from the workshop yeard, and possible
sweep with a piece Of old sacking TO re-
move the grease due to machining pro-
cesses.
There has been nothing like a washing
down OF the parts with soda ash or lye-
water to remove the grease, and then
picking with weak acid to remove the
mill scale, and subsequent washing with
lirnewater to neutralize the acid bath,
warming the work before painting it, and
taking care to apply the paint only on clear,
bright days, when no sweating can occur.
or applying the paint in warm paint-rooms.
1t is safe to say that not in a single case
out of the many skeleton structures OF
modern sky-scrapers can this be found tC
have been the procedure. There would
seem to be no hetter possible assurance
than all this OF trouble ahead for coming
generations -Cassier's Magazine.
