1896, and eggs fell to 1211k cents doz-

his mysterious end only deepens the
conviction that our surmise was cor

come when they would build houses
100 stories high, and to show how it
would be done he made drawing OF

Then he said all you have to do to finish
the thing is TO cut stones to fill the
spaces, put in the joists and Tafters, and
there you are. And that was more than
30 years ago, before the high buildings
had been thought of by any architect.
And the plans of the present are prac-
tically the same as proposed by Fay

and was looked upon as the brightest
man of the class, though everyone
thought him peculiar. He went to the
