FEAT OF PENMANSHTP.
More Than Seven ThcusunI Words
on One Postal Card.

From the San Francisco Bulletin
waiter ID. Wellman, bookkeeper in the
employ Of Anspacher Bros. the commission
merchants, has performed the remarkable
feat OF writing in long hand 1908 words on
an ordinary postal card About two months
ago M. c. T. Grincourt a Frenchman sue
ceeded in writing o454 words in French on
a postal card. NJ. Grincourts feat made q
great sensation, and his postal card was for
a long time on exhibition at the Examiner
ofnce. An account given in the columns of
the EXAMINER represented this as the finest
and closest writing ever accomplished.
But Mr.. Wellman has far exceeded the
Frenchman, not only in the number of words
he has succeeded in getting upon the postal
card, but in the length of the words he used
also NJ. Grincourt copied a portion of one
of Victor Hugo's novels, in which the words
were VIGOROUSLY short Mr.. Wellman copied
eight columns of the Bulletin" selected
from three distinct articles, so that he could
not be accused Of copying from writer
whose vocabulary consisted chiefly Of short
words. There were 10 lines NJ. Grin
courts postal card, and 154 on Mr.. Well
mans.
Mr. Welman also asserts that he had
plenty of room to spare, and could easily
have gotten in $500 words He worked on it
for fifteen days, at odd moments, when he
could escape from his business duties. He
says he could have accomplished it in six
hours of steady work. He wrote it at the
pace OF fifty words a minute, while his pace
in writing the ordinary size is from thirty
five to forty minute.
The postal can easily be read with a glass,
and person with a good eye can read it
without the help of a glass. A fellow clerk
of Mr.. Wellman easily read the postal with
the naked eye, but begged off from all postals
being written in this fashion.
The 1908 words are written with an or
binary steel pen in violet ink. The ink is
a mere matter of chance, and has nothing to
do with the fneness of the work.
Mr.. Wellman has never done any work of
this kind before. His only practice was in
writing the Lords Prayer Without the
slightest difficulty he accomplished the feat
Of writing these seventy two words in a
space no larger than a gold quarter of
dollar.
The writer Of this curiosity is a young
American, % years old. He is near-sighted
and wears glasses, but his eyes must be
very strong, as he has suffered no pain nor
inconvenience whatever from this close work
In fact, his near-sightedness may help him
little, as near-sighted people usually see
things at close range much better than
people of ordinary sight.

Of engineering skill is required In the
foundations. The building itself is
after all a superStracture. 1t is the
foundation that requires the engineers
gratest skill, for sometimes the condi-
lions are most adverse. For instance,
in lower New York water is encoun-
tered at very shallow depths, and it is
in this lower section that most of the
sky-scraperS are built The Com
mercial Gable building is eighteen stor-
les high. It's foundation floor Is eight?
cen feet below the surface water level
and at least ten feet below river level
Yet the lowest sub-ce1lars are as dry
as punk. They were made so by means
Of the intricate and extended caisson
system. The water is entirely exclud-
ed. When such low levels are reached
the contractor has really as much to
do in preserving the integrity Of the
surrounding buildings and streets as
he has in economically carrying on his
excavations. The laws are very strin-
gent in regard to a cave-in, and munic-
ipaI lawsuits are sure to drain ones
pockets. In some places, however, in
spite of the most extended Snoring
up, there is sure to be q curve in the
nearby street lines. Recently in this
city at a deep excavation a person
could, by going some distance up, gaze
along the car tracks and discern part
Of an immense quadrant, formed by
the tracks where they had followed

The city of the future will be built
upon solid rock. Modern conditions
point hiatt way. The solid rock may
not necessarily exist at the surface of
The earth. If it does, SO much the bet
ter. If it is deep underground the four
Hations of buildings will have to be
carried down to it. The latter-day
Eky-scrapers and the practice Of build
Ing houses of the heaviest material
render this compulsory even now
There are men in New York and other
large cities whose sole business it Is
10 test the character of the ground on
(which tall buildings are to stand. They
are experts, and no thorough-going
architect would trust to his own dis
pertinent in the matter Of his ground
work. In fact, the construction Of sky
Scrapers has vastly extended the call
bng Of the architect, and compelled him
10 do some things of which the con-
etructor Of bygone days never dreamed
Most interesting Of these newly &C
quired habits is the weighing Of tall
buildings, says the New York Sun.
The average person might not fully
appreciate the necessity for weighing
tall building. In fact, many persons
would calmly assert that 1t could not
be done, yet the practice Of weighing
Immense buildings, bridges. heavy ord
nance. and ponderous objects generally
Is science in itself 1t is all done by
computation, but the actual weight of
The structures is accurately computed.

which they are encountered. A per-
feet record Of the condition Of the
ground, with the depths Of the various
substances unearthed, is obtained. For
very large steel buildings, however, it
is necessary and safer to rest the foun-
cations on solid rock.
This is done by sinking caisson hoI-
low tubes, which are forced or screwed
down through the various clays and
gravel to hard pan. When these hoI-
low steel tubes strike the rock they
are firmly secured to it. Then they are
filed with concrete. The concrete
hardens into rock, which is rendered
all the stronger by it's steel coating
and the whole affair becomes a pillar
of rock, sheathed with steel and ex-
tending from the immovable backbone
Of the earth itself to the surface. The
modern sky-scraper may then be said
In many cases to stand upon stills
Nothing can alter perceptibly its solid
1ty-not even the wind, the swaying
power of which cannot prevail against
the truss formation Of the structure
itself
There is one power which does at
times arrest the stability Of the sky
scraper. This is the sun. The i'm
mense amount of iron in the structure
is acted upon, and to a certain extent
expanded and contracted as the rays
change their direction, but not enough
to cause any fear of disaster In
bridges, however, this expansion and
contracting is very marked. In a.

ture will bend backward and forward

quarter of an inch, but in iron bridges.

depths which will be difficult of exploration.
There are no signs Of water in the cave and
no sound or current Of air to indicate the
presence OF running stream.
The location of the cave is eighty miles from
Patten, the most northerly town in Penobscot
county, which is reached by branch of the
bangor and Aroostook railroad. The discoy-
cry or the opening was made a year ago bv
Ihomas Lawlor while passing up to his camp
at the head of the lake. Looking I'D at the
mountain side he thought he saw smoke issu-
ing from clump of shrubbery at the mouth of
the cave. He put on his snow shoes and started
to investigate. AS he drew nearer he saw that
1t was not smoke, but steam which was rising
and that the snow about the clump of bushes
was thawing. Thinking that he had discovered
pears den, he went back for some of his
crew, and they explored the entrance. Slid
ing down to the first chamber they were aston
lSned TO IND that what they had mistaken for
pears den was a wonderful cavern.
Some Of the older wOodsmen remember a
legend often repeated by the indians wears ago
when says that a powerful spirit had its
abode under the three peaks Of the noIIntain
on the shores of the Allegash and that this
spirit Kept guard over wonderful mines Of
gold and silver that were hidden somewhere
IN that vicinity. The legend says that one
indian succeeded in getting into the good
graces OF the spirit and was conducted to the
mines and permitted to take away Iump Of
solld gold. Afterward the Indian and a white
man from Bangor named Chemaux went un
the AlIegash to find the mines but neither
OF them was ever seen again.
