GREAT TOWER AT BUFFALO.
Structure That Will Grace the Pan
American Exposition.

Unless present plans miscarry Wis
itors to the Pan-American exposition
in Buffalo in 1901 will see a tower
greater and more ornamental than
the great Eiffel tower in Paris. The
plan submitted provides for a beauti-
full structure, 1852 feet in height.
The complete dimensions of the tow
err are 400 square feet at the base and
1,152 feet in height. The elevators
will have a carrying capacity of TO-
900 an hour, for there will be 33 high
speed electrical Gifts" 16 running
only from the ground to the first land
ing, which will be 225 feet above the
ground, or as high as Bunker Hill
monument.
From that elevation eight more ele-
vators will start, and will rise to the
second landing, which will be $50
feet above the ground, or as high as
the most lofty Of the Egyptian pyra-
mids There four other elevators will
start and reach to the third landing,
which will be 675 feet from the
ground, and four more elevators will
carry the daring sightseerS from that
point to an elevation of l 900 feet.
Above that point there will be three
more landings, and one elevator only
will make the trips from the fourth to
the fifth, sixth and seventh landings.
1t is figured that the journey from
the ground to the top of the structure
can be made in six minutes, including
the four changes from one to another
elevator
From the four corner supports of
the tower, at the base, each of which is
so feet square, will rise arches 200 feet
across and the same number of feet
in height. These arches will support
a great landing, containing $4,000
feet OF floor space, and which VIII
easily accommodate 10000 persons,
At the second landing there is an
other landing with $4,000 feet of
floor space, on the third landing the
space is to be 10, 100 feet and on the
fourth landing the floor space will be
2,025 feet-the various landings, ex-
elusive of the first great one, being
large enough to accommodate 10000
more persons, and the last landing
will be an even 1000 feet above the
ground.
To build this great pile of orna-
mental steel work it is estimated that
an expenditure of 100000 will be
necessary. Inasmuch as the Eiffel
tower cost 100000 more than that,
and as the first years business paid
for the cost of construction, the men
who wish to Guido Paris at the COM
ing fair at Buffalo feel that the
chances are bright for them,-N, Y.

woMAN'S MISERABLE DEATH.

Character.

Addie Saunders, a woman who had
probably broken every one of the ten
commandments, died in misery in a
room in the rear of 313 South Third
street at two o'clock in the morning.
She was addicted to opium, craved
whisky and often used laudanum.
Starvation is said to have caused her
death. 1t probably did, but not be-
cause the woman was unable to obtain
Good. She could not take nourish-
unent, owing to the condition of her
stomach, caused by drugs and drinks.
Her body was removed to the morgue
1t was fearfully wasted. The morgue
keeper said it would hardly weigh 40
pounds.
Addie Saunders had been a woman
of the half world for long time. She
WAS 35 years old, and for years had
lived on and near the levee. She was

ever married her acquaintance know

she died.
Wander left the room shortly after

Electrlcl,y for Producing Rain.

The idea of making electrical rain by
throwing a charge of electricity through

the latest suggestion In this direction, the
capture of the elusive fog for agricultural
purposes. will elicit some feasible solution
Of the problem. California. as is well
known. has vast areas of valuable land
where the water supply is inadequate.
Nature has endeavored to correct this by
sending in heavy fogs laden with moist
ure. These fogs come in from the ocean
but are d,ssipated early in the morninr by
the sun. What is now sought is the dis
covery. Of some simple and practical

At the present time American COM
merce in China should be more than
that Of the shopkeeping kind. There
are new opportunities for vast specula-
tions and strong syndicates. This is
the period Of concessions, Of organix-
ing for opening up the resources of
that large empire. This ia more than
selling behind the counter. And
here Americans are liable to
lose magnificent opportuni-
ty. Along with the increas-
ed political influence Of European
countries have come Increased COM
mercial privileges. Our political in
terests and our commercial men have
disliked the Chinese so much that they
have failed to seize-even to see-the
new openings In China at the most
opportune hour. Russia has secured
both railroad and mining concessions
In Manchuria. Germany has secured
the same in Shantung. England has
secured mining concessions in Shansj,
and other privileges In central China.
Both France and England have secured
privileges in southern China. Amer
ica-where is she? Two great railroad
lines-one between Peking and Han
kow; the other between Tientsin and
Chinkiang-could have been built by
Americans; but Notwithstanding this
special opportunity European nations
have pressed forward to secure these
privileges for their own people,
Though these great concessions may
go to others. there may still be an op-
portunity for American materials to
be used in connection Herewith. This
will depend on the amount Of support
which the United States government
and American merchants give to the
open door" policy, which thus far has
been advocated by the British govern
ment alone. Already many Of the
most energetic supporters OF British
interests abroad have turned from the
open door" policy to the policy Of
special spheres Of influence"

Trap.

WIN nsso VM = Log TO ESCAPE from .
Trap.
George Purcell tells the Pittsburg
News some stories about mining coal
that are interesting. Purcell says
rat, when caught in trap, will cut of
a limb to escape. He one day caught
a rat with blacksmith's pincers. He
had only time to fix the pincers on the
rats tail. but with sufficient grip to
hold the rat for time. He intended
taking the rat to a feed-box in the
barn. where its fighting qualities could
be tested by a TERROR. The rat, hang
ing by its tail. turned around to free
itself from the pincers. Finding that
the pincers were harder than its teeth
It turned Its attention to its own tail.
1t cut with Its teeth ring around the
tail. and then made jump. The skin
peeled OF the tail. leaving the tail
covering in the grip Of Purcell and the
plncers. 1t is needless to say that the
rat escaped. Miners believe that rats
leave q falling mine. M. w. Kerrigan
met horde Of rats one day when he
was entering mine. He attempted to
kill them with q stick, but as fast as he
knocked one out another took his
place. He was accompanied by dog.
and the dog was SO badly bitten by the
rats that he sought shelter behind Ker-
rigan. Seeing that the dog was badly
injured by the attack Of the rats Ker-
rigan took him outside the mine to
have his injuries attended to. Kerri-
gan then returned to the workings. but
was surprised to find that the entry in
which he had met the rats had fallen
