News From the Explorer.

According to "A dispatch from Man
dial, the most southern town of Nor
way, two boys, on May IA last, found
on the north coast of Iceland a small
cork case, containing a slip of paper,
dated July II, 1897, signed "Andree,
Strindberg and Fraenkel," and bear
ing the words, "All we'll Thrown out
about longitude 81, latitude unknown. "
Prof. Andree's brother thinks the case
was probably one of the letter buoys
with which the Andree expedition was
provided.

But now something happened to cause
drifting apart Of the two. At an en-
tertainment given by the students
they both first met Nella Stanton. I'm
lucky day! Both met to love One
night in the secrecy of their room they
agreed that each should do his best
to win, and that neither should inter
fere with the other.
Nella favored Leroy and when he
proposed was accepted. When Fred
erick was told by Leroy that he had
been accepted the blow was hard, and
nearly stunned him. Then, as he fully
realized that Nella, whom he loved
nigh unto madness, loved Leroy, his
grief and rage knew no bounds.
He accused Leroy Of treachery, say
ing he had not given him fair play.
He ended by calling him traitor to
the holy bonds of friendship and say
ing he never wished to see his face
again. Stunned by such treatment, Le-
roy uttered not word, but, collect
ing his things, left the room
From that day to this Frederick
Nelson and Leroy Seymons had not
looked into each others faces. Shortly
after Frederick read Of the marriage
OF Leroy and Nella.
All this time Leroy and his young
wife were living happily together in
distant city.
One year, two years, passed, and lie
couple were blessed with a beautiful
little daughter, whom they named Err
la.
She was the pride of their hearts:
all their thoughts and plans were for
her alone. One day a cruel blow fell
upon the head Of Nelia. Leroy had
been killed! o. the terrible anguish!
But she would be brave for her baby
girls sake. After their money was
gone Nella hired some cheap rooms
and supported herself and Erla by her
needle. And now she depended upon
her daughter for support, as her fra
gile health prevented her from even
this means of support Meanwhile
Frederick had married a refined girl
named Lottie Ashley, who, after the
first grief and disappointment passed
away, he loved. His one desire now
was to see his old friend again and
ask his forgiveness. Instead OF board
ing the car he retraced his steps and
walked TO where Erla was standing.

Gov. Pingree has called halt on the
legislature and demands retrenchment
in appropriations He suggests that a
cut of about S170, 600 be made. The
two institutions that have thus far
been attacked by the governor are the
Jackson prison and the agricultural
college. The total amount of bills in
troduced in the house and senate, call
ing for appropriations for the year
1899 and 1900, including the amount Of
the general purpose tax, is S9,2s0,-
12l.3 80. This is nearly $4,000, 600 in ex-
cess of the state tax for the years 1897
and 1898, levied TO meet expenses pro-
vided by law and appropriations of the
legislature of 1897, which state tax
was 81, 53s, 6779O for the two years.
This is doubtless the cause of the gov
ernor taking the position he has.
Both branches of the legislature adj

the memory of the late Albert Pack,
after adopting warm resolutions of
sympathy for his family. The house
appointed a special committee of five

VOTED FOR JACKSON.
And Proposed to His Present Wife OF
the Same Day.

Mr.. and Mrs. William Harvey John
son of Union, n. j., celebrated their
SEVENTEEN anniversary last week. The
present partner of the centenarian' S
joy is not his first wife, since he was
widower with one child when in 1928,
he sailed out one day in November,
with two errands to do. One was to
vote for Andrew Jackson for president.
task most congenial to so ardent a
democrat; the other was to propose to
the girl on whom he had cast his eye
as the second mother to his 2-year-old
child. From that same eve, when she
softly whispered yes, their life has
been one long, uninterrupted sue
cession of quiet pleasure. Few can
boast of a second wife to have a sew
entieth anniversary with. Eleven
stalwart sons gathered around the
wedding board, all in good situations,
married and happy. The old gentle
man himself still farms a forty-acre
plot, and is as clipper as young
chipmunk. He reads up every case of
old age that he can find, and is conf
dent that man may live to be $50.

HOW THE FIRST SKY
SCRAPER WAS BUILT.

Chicago. May 26.-"Chicago construc-
ton as a term designating the modern
bridge-built steel sky-scraper, is an evo-
luton. No one man can claim the method
as his own. 1t grew out of local necessi-
ties and circumstances more surely than
from the brain of one enthusiastic ex-
perimenter. Its practicabnity, however,
was first demonstrated in the thirteen
story Tacoma building in Chicago, COM
pleted by Holabird & Roche In April,
1889
More than to anything else, perhaps,
Chicago construction owes its existence
to the topography of the downtown dis
trlct of Chicago. The lake on the north

and west side transportation companies

not justify Investments in ordinary Office
buildings. the sky-scraper became a ne
cessity.
Other architects had been trying TO
forestan this inevitable situation. Their
work had been along the line of tightening
and simplifying construction. The first

large blocks of granite and above them
the brick piers of the building.
The weight of the building is not al
lowed to come directly upon the granite
capstones which surmOunt these piers.
Instead, it is distributed by the system
of steel girders which is familiar to all
engineers. These girders are from eight
TO forty-seven feet in depth. They are
in effect big bridges between the founda-
tions and the footlugs of the vertical
columns of the building to carry the
weight evenly. The heaviest of these,
beneath one wall of the building, weighs
over tifty-two tons.
Above the surface the method of con-
structing the building has been the one
that must be toleraby familiar to all
residents of the larger cities who have
seen tall buildings in process of erection.
1t consists of a steel framework. built
span above span as is done in the build
ing of a cantilever bridge. The walls
are merely the sheathings for this skele-
ton structure. Having assurance of a
sufficiently firm foundation any engineer
could sit down and figure out in few
minutes how to build a 35-story building
if it were necessary. The addition of
few more stories to q steel building offers
no great engineering difficulties. The con-
siderations that finally viii limit the hight
of skyscrapers will probably be rather of
an economical nature.
What 1t Cost.
1t Is interesting to turn from the con-
sideratioR of the vast proportions of the
building itself to the human interests
that it will serve. 1t was to accommodate
the constant demand for more room in
the busiest section of the metropolis that
this expenditure of time, money and eff
fort amounting altogether to some 50, 400, =
coo, was made. And the addition which
it makes in this direction is by no means
| insignificant.
As was said before, the dead weight of
the building itself is about 10000 tons But
with the addition of the maximum load
which the twenty-nine floors are caIcu-
lated to carry the total weight of the
structure will amount TO something like
81 900 tons.
There are $50 rooms in the building.
Counting four persons TO each office this
wall make the permanent population of
the building nearly 1900, or equal to that
OF many fourishing county seat.
$4,000 Persons Enter the Building
Each Day.
To this must be added large transient
population amounting probably for one
person to each resident at any given time

The age-herald., 1899-01-01

Long ago Current Literature said that 'No book from the south, since Maury's Physical Geography of the Sea-. has been so fayorably received;" and to that the Memphis Commercial added: "This is by for the most ambitious, recondite and scholarly contribution the south has yet made to the literature of the English lan- guage.'
 In reproducing in print the judgment of that able critic, the Boston Herald, upon the importance of MT. Hannis Taylors con- tribution to literature, the thought is sug- gested that Mobile has longer experience in intellectual prominence than that now mentioned. In poetry we have had Father A. J. Ryan. the poet priest of the south," the finest lyric poet the south ever pro- duced, whose songs are the treasures of many mind. We still have the gifted Augusta Evans Wilson, who is unquestion- ably the Foremost novelist of the south, and whose books still are the delight of thou sands of re fders in all lands. And we have Hannis Taylor, whose contribution to the digested Knowledge of the world is praised both at home and abroad. It is no small feather hc Mobiles cap that as respects the south, and in three fields of intellectual ef- fort-in poetry, in fiction and in history she has won the highest prizes of the cen- tury.
