OUR BIG BUILDINGS.
For Them We Have No Arohiteotu

For Them We Have No Architectural
Tradition to Guide Us.
To take the 90 story steel frame
building and think it out for itself is to
begin with that building of Chicago in
which the panels between the uprights
of the steel frame are filled with thin
iron, just as they might have been filed
with pasteboard or leather Such a
building has no walls. The spaces be-
tween the CONSTITUTIONAL uprights and
horizontals are simply filed, partly
with glass, partly with an opaque
screen. That is the logical beginning of
the new tradition, and if the designers
will take that up and work at it, they
may, in the course of the century, de-
velop new style of architecture. There
is little chance, apparently, of that be-
ing done. Instead of that, each designer
is applying to his own tall building the
forms which he finds in books or as
used in his own practice on buildings
of far different character, these previ-
GUS buildings having been designed
themselves by reference to books rather
than under the sway of tradition.
In short, no man can say that he has
learned of his predecessors any safe and
certain way of going at his work, and
the consequence is that those conditions
under which alone can the design of
any building be made successful are
wanting. Since the world began no
man has ever designed good building
independently of tradition. 1t is as GER
tain that no man ever will do so as it
is certain that no man will build good,
swift, large freight carrying ship with
out having consulted the lines of other
ships not quite SO highly developed. -

STORING CELERY.

gether, six or seven inches apart, and
the plants about the same distance apart
in the rows. The ground is heavily
MANFRED before planting, and the plants
are kept we'll watered and cultivated.
They are given but one slight earthing
up until slight frosts set in. Stakes are
then driven in along the two outside
rows, giving the tops slight molina
ton toward the central row and having
the tops of the stakes about level with
the tops of the celery. Earth is then
banked up about two-thirds of the
height of the plants and made firm. A
10 inch board is then set against the
stakes on each side and the earth is
banked to level with the top of the
boards Two more boards are nailed to-
gether at right angles to one another,
and these are placed over the top.
Some straw is placed alongside of the
rows and is put over the boards during
a sharp freeze. In mild weather both
straw and boards are removed entirely.
This is all the protection that will be
needed until severe winter weather sets
in, when the whole bank may be Gov
cred with leaves, straw and litter of
any kind. The accompanying sketch
may present clearer idea of this
method. m
The point that appeals most strongly
to the fancy is the fact that the plants
are stored just as they grew, and that
they are able to continue growing, not
having been disturbed at the roots, thus
giving them the opportunity of making
what is essential to late keeping celery

PLENTY oF CHALK.
Great Block That Was Once as Large NJ
the Continent of Europe.

Great Block That Was Once Large NJ
the Continent of Europe.
The small piece of chalk which is in
constant use in the schoolroom, the leo
ture room. the billiard room and the
workshop has strange history, the I'M
raveling of which through all its COM
plexities is one of the most difficult
problems with which the science of the
present day is called upon to deal This
piece is in reality a chip of an immense
block of chalk that once filled an area
the size of the continent of Europe, and
of which even yet several gigantic frag-
ments remain, each hundreds of square
miles in extent. These patches are scat
tered over the region lying between Ire
land on the west and China On the east
and extend in the other direction from
Sweden in the north to Portugal in the
south
In the British Isles the chalk is found
in greatest perfection and continuity in
the east and southeast of England. A
sheet of chalk more than 1000 feet in
thickness underlies all that portion of
England which is situated to the south
east of a line crossing the island dag
onally from the North sea at Flambor
ough Head to the coast on the English
channel in Dorset. This enormous sheet
of chalk is tilted up slightly on the
west, and its depressed eastern portions
that dip toward the waters of the North
sea are usually buried from sight by
means of everything sands and clays.
Where the edges of the chalk floor come
upon the sea the cliff scenery is strik-
ingly grand and beautiful. Any one
who has once seen the magnificent rocks
of Marlborough and Beechy Head, the
jagged stacks of the Needles or the dir
zy mass of Shakespeare's cliff, near Do
yer, can understand why "the white
cliffs of Albion" has grown into a stock
phrase.
This massive sheet of chalk appears
again in France, in many other parts of
Europe as far east as the Crimea, and
even in central Asia beyond the sea of
Aral. How far it stretched westward
into what is now the Atlantic may new
er be known, but chalk cliffs of at least
200 feet in thickness are seen at An
trim, in Ireland, and less conspicuous
formations are found in Scotland, in
Argyll and Aberdeen. There can be lit
tie question that all these now isolated
patches were once connected in con-
tinuous sheet, which must, therefore,
have occupied a superficial area about
5000 miles long by nearly 1000 broad,
an extent larger than that of the pres
emit continent of Europe. = Pittsburg

Youth,s Cruelty.

We have the phrase as "tender heart
ed as child" but in reality nothing is
SO hard and cruel as youth. Its judg
ments are memorable. 1t confounds the
sinner and the sin. 1t is impatient and
implacable. Only after one has lived
and suffered and has known the temp
tations and trials Of life does one learn
to deal gently with the weaknesses and
faults of his brother man and to throw
about the world the tender and envelop-
ing mantle of charity and sympathy.
Surely this broader comprehension
and sympathy is some compensation for
growing old. To it may be added the
fact not always appreciated-that as one
grows older one enjoys with a cultivat-
ed sense many things of which youth is
profoundly ignorant.
The young devour all pleasure with
the Understanding appetite Of the
farm laborer. The older person chooses
warily, as an epicure selects among the
dishes of feast. Perhaps the panorama
of life is not less beautiful to the old
than the young
Only the picture is changed. 1t is no
longer gaudy chrome, but an etching.

The Sill ! BELL.
It Is Closely Idcnt fed with the Who'll



1t Is Closely Ident led with the Whole
Career of the Vessel.
Lieutenant John M. Ellioott, q. s.
N, writes an article for st. Nicholas
ON "What Is Told by the Bell" in
which he says:
Nothing in ship becomes so closely
identified with her throughout her
whole career as the ships bell. Officers
and crew come and go; masts, decks,
engines and boilers become old and are
replaced by new ones; but from the day
that she first glides into the water the
same ships bell remains always part
of her, marking her progress all over the
world, and finally going down with
her to lonely grave at the bottom of
the sea, or surviving her as cherished
souvenir of her existence and achieve
ments. On a man-of-war the bell is
usually inscribed with her name and
the date of her launching, and as it is
probable that it may some day become
memento of a glorious history the bell
is often the subject of special care in
casting or selection. Sometimes the
hundreds Of workmen who have built
the great ship contribute each silver
coin to be melted and nodded into a
bell, which shall be the token of their
love for the object of their creation and
their interest in her future career. Of
ten the people Of the city or state after
which man-of-war is named may pre-
sent to her magnificent bell, appropri-
ately ornamented and inscribed with
words of good will and good wishes.
Such a bell is usually presented with
ceremony after the ship goes into COM
mission.
Ships bells in general are made of
bronze, like other bells. The addition
of silver in their composition gives
them peculiarly clear and musical
tone. They are placed in such posi-
ton on the upper deck that they may
be heard from one end of the ship to
the other and are usually near the
mainmast or at the break of the fore
castle. One peculiarly exists in a ships
bell which is necessary on account Of
her motion at sea. The tongue is hung
so that 1t can swing in only one direc-
ton. If it were not SO, the bell would
be continually ringing as the ship roll
ed and pitched. The direction in which
the tongue can swing is another impor-
tant point. If it were athwartships, the
bell would ring at every heavy roll of
the ship, and if it were fore and aft the
bell would ring at every deep pitch, SO
the direction in which the tongue can
swing is nearly half way around be-
tween these two.
