Designation of Implements
The hammers and implements used by
the riveters all have their especial names

up rivet while the head is being mashed.

and pushed into place with a '.noggingy'
hammer OF four pounds weight the head is
logged down. With this operation. how
ever, the work is not complete. The SNAP
a hammer with concave head, is placed
against the rivet and is beat upon with a
sledge. In this manner the logged r1vet
head is made round and appears as finished
as the original. This work is very pretty
TO watch, and is done very rapidly with
such thorough system, that the riveters
keep close company with the erecters.
IN leaving work the men prefer TO make
the journey to the earth via the derrick
route. Three or four OF them will Xix them
selves in sling and be lowered hundreds

fall the iron workers viii some times not
report for duty on the building until two
or three days have passed. They are some
what unnerved and usually indulge IN
liquor, not daring to attempt work how
ever, until their nerves are steady again.
The higher the work the better the iron
men like it. They will tell you in choicest
'cuss" words how they do not care TO have
some outrageous sort of imbecile drop a
hammer or brick upon their pates.
The Terra Gotta Flooring.
Another interesting feature Of the work
on The Star building now in progress Is
the laying of the terra Gotta flooring. In
tireproof construction the partitions and
backing for ceiling and floors are of terra
Gotta. The blocks are arranged in angular
shape so that when in position a fiat arch
is formed, and they self-supporting
each end of the arch resting upon fiange
of the steel cross-beams. While being
placed in position the blocks are held in
tact temporarily by a crude suspended
floor, which is removed when the cement
used in the seams is dry. On the neither
side of this terra Gotta the ceiling plaster
of the story below is placed, while wood
tile flooring is used above. There Is I'M
doubted art in the setting of these tiles.
and one of the men engaged in the work is
said to be the champion in his line in the
United States.

their experiences are usually wide and va
ried. A vast army of men was recently
employed in the construction of railroad
bridges throughout the country. Railroad
construction, however, was completed to
all intents and purposes some years ago,
for no great trunk lines are in contempla-
ton in this country. Just as it seemed APP
parent these workmen Were to be thrown
out of employment, or driven into other
fields of labor. the tide of steel frames in
buildings-the wave of the sky-reachng
houses-swept the country and revolution

So 1t was the men found ready and lucra-

They travel from place to place. as en-
ployment is offered, and many have neither

During the period of bridge building the
men became clanny and led thoroughly
Bohemian life. They were known to each
other from one end of the country to the
other by their working names. When a
man would arrive on a new job he would
find there innumerable old acquaintance
who had drifted in from other parts of the
country Mechanics naturally We're be-

vast improvement noted.
Strength and Skill.
Only skilled artisans are employed in
house erection, the work requiring a high
grade of physical strength and skill, as
well as accuracy of eye and nerve. 1t is

APPEALS FOR CARTER.
His Case VIII BE Carried to the SUI

1t is said at the War Department that
Carter will not be taken at once TO the
penitentiary, but will await the outcome
of appeals and application for bail.
The right of appeal in such cases is rec
ognized unquestionable by the military
law officers. and 1t is said the first appeal
in behalf of Carter will be to the court
of appeals, and after that to the United
States Supreme Court. The hearing OF
these appeals will take some months. In
the meantime. next Monday the applica-
ton for Carriers release on bail will be
