the total number CT visitors will not
be less than three hundred. A goodly
number of members Of Congress are

A MONUMENT
FOR A SEAMAN.

Everybody. who remembers the civil
war will recall the day " n Admiral
FarraGut. on board his flagship Hart
ford, entered the harbor of Mobile under
the fire Of the guns in the forts and on
the Confederate ships. When the en-
gagement was at its height. he went to
the quarter deck and in order to get
better view of what was going on climb-
ed into thf rigging despite the entreaties
OF his Officers When he refused to come
down. Lieutenant John Crittenden Wat
son, now commodore and in command
OF the squadron off Cuba, who was ex-
ecutive officer of the Hartford. ordered
the admiral lashed TO the rigging that
in INC event -uf-his being struck by a
bullet or piece OF flying shell he would
not fall overheard.
Richard Knowles. one OF the young
seamen on board the Hartford. was sent
into the shrouds and tied the admiral
fast To the rigging, returning to his
other duties as soon as he had finished
this task. For the bravery displayed
he was mentioned In special orders is

"THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT."

The tallest and the lowest buildings
I'm the world are to be found in America.
The smallest of all buildings used for
human habitation are the ice huts
OF the Eskimos of Greenland. These
huts, which are formed of bricks OF ice
about two feet thick, only rise about
four feet above the level OF the sur
rounding snow. They have one exit,
which is an underground passage just
large enough for one person to crawl
through.
The highest structures on earth are
the modern "skyscrapers." The illus
tration shows the latest and talest OF
these buildings. 1t is the Wins Syndi-
cate building, so stories high. In New
York. It has just been finished. As
the builders of ancient Egypt left their
mark upon history with the vast tombs
of their kings, as medieval Europe i'm
mortalized itself in its Gothic cathe-
drals. so the "sl>yscraper'' Is the stone
monument OF the closing years OF the
nineteenth century. 1t may not be
thing OF beauty, IL may darken our
streets and have other drawbacks, but
IL has come TO stay.
The modern skyscraping structures.
besides rising several hundred feet into
the air. also extend down many stories
below the surface OF Mother Earth, so
that when the height of a building is
given the measurement should be from
the floor OF the deepest basement. The
weight OF such building Is enormous.
and to support it solid rock must be
reached. In many cases. after drilling
n great distance. this is not found and
caissons are sunk till the rock is reach
ed. and the building rests on these arti-
fetal supports. In some places. as in
Chicago. where the whole city stands
on shifting sand. the big office buildings
rest on immense plates OF steel laid on
the Garth.
