TO LIFT OHIO's CAPITOL.
scheme to Build a story beneath the
Present Structure.

Columbus, o., Feb. s.-H. sheeler of
Chicago has made a proposition TO lift
the massive capitol Of Ohio and place an
other story under the structure
Mr.. Sheeler says he will accomplish this
remarkable feat for 100000 and Senator
Miller Of Licking county has promised to
introduce q bill to provide the funds for
the undertaking.
The present capitol is inadequate for the
necessities of the various state depart
ments and the previous legislature provid-
ed for the remodeling OF the structure.
Plans have been adopted TO this end,
but the great expense that would be en-
tailed has aroused opposition to the plans.
The Ohio capitol, built of native lime
stone, Is one Of the most massive build
ngs In the country and covers more than
two acres. 1t is estimated that there are
many hundred thousands tons of stone In
the structure.
Mr. Sheeler proposes TO raise this i'm
mense structure without disturbing a sin
gle occupant of the building. He would
cut off the building at the base and raise
il with screws This work alone would
require a forest Of timber. thousands Of
screws, and the labor OF 1000 men for three
weeks The entire work of completing
the structure would occupy about three
months
Mr.. sheeler's plans propose remodeling
the dome and putting in elevators and all
modern conVenences.

The church proper will be two stories
high and according to the original
plans, drawn by Architect j. F. Collins,
