seven others / each.
The caucus was made an issue in
the campaign. Crawford, it's nominee,
barely missed being the lowest Of the
| four candidates voted for by the elect
| ors. and he succeeded by only four
votes in being one of the candidates
when the election came up in the
House. The electoral vote was Jack
son 80, Adams 81, Crawford Al and
Clay 37 No candidate received a ma
jority of the votes cast, and the cleo
tion was thus thrown into the House
of Representatives. The result was
Adams's election, due principally to the
support of Clay. The electoral vote
had made Calhoun vice president by
large majority.

long afterwards when the state legis-

FIRST STREET LIGHTING.

It was Paris in 1914 that startled the
world with the first practical
street lighting by electricity One
December evening, when a thick
J fog hung like pail over the
city, shutting out the faint light Of
the gas lamps, pedestrians in the Place
de la Concorde were startled by a sud-
| den unearthly glare that broke over
| head. From that night electric light
| ing in Paris was a success. and the
system began to spread through the
! city.
In England in 1S41 Frederic de
| Moleyns had patented an incandescent
| lamp, using a platinum wire In a glass
/ bulb. 1t proved to be an impractcable
device, however. 1t remained for J.
W. Starr. OF Cincinnati, Ohio, to make
the first really successful incandescent
/ light and put it upon the market in
! 1874. He used a glass bulb exhausted
OF air, in which was suspended plati-
mum wire hung from a piece OF gra-
phite. Edison has completed all that
he left undone.
ELECTRICITY ALL IMPORTANT.

REVOLUTION IN BUILDING.

REVOLUTION IN BUILDING.
In nothing, perhaps, has this use
been more challenging to the worlds
conservatives than in the modern
building of steel construction" For
hundreds of years builders had been
laying giant walls in order that these
walls might support the floors piled
tier on tier above the foundations. In
the steel construction the interior
framework is built strong enough to
support the terra Gotta walls.
San Francisco is said to have given
the first impetus to the steel building.
The Rookery and the Home Insurance
Buildings in Chicago were modified
examples OF 1t, but it remained for the
Tacoma building. at Madison and La
Sale streets, to become the first per-
feet example Of Chicago construction.
With the completion of the Tacoma
Building, in 1889. the term sky
scraper' was coined. Lot owners saw
the possibilities for making the income
from their properties commensurate
with real estate valuations, and the
rolling mills were swamped with or
ders for structural steel. This de-
mand has been steady for the last
ten years, with the result that the
| Tower Of Babel has been exceeded in
the modern steel of1lce building. The
Park Row Building, in New York city,
is a city within itself towering 800
feet into the air and planted more than
fifty feet below the surface OF the
streets. 1t has twenty-nine stories, the
topmost Offices being $40 feet in the air
and commanding a view Of more than
forty miles in any direction. There are
$50 rooms, with a total OF nearly 1000
tenants.
THE MAKING OF BRIDGES.
Next to the builders steel the bridge
steel OF the engineer has been of vast
uses. The first suspension bridge be-
longs to Wales, but the miEhtiest one
spans the East river from New York
to Brooklyn. 1t was begun In 1870 and
completed In 1883, having a clear wat
er way OF 1885 feet and costing Sl5,-
100000. It's traffic is greater than that
of any other bridge in the world The
Dads bridge at st. Louis and the
Forth bridge in Scotland belong to the
| achievements OF the century in bridge
building. But aside from these there
| is scarcely a one hundred mile stretch
| Of railroad anywhere in the country
that has not one or more examples OF
| the bridge builders art sufficient to
have confounded the engineer OF only
| nifty years ago.
The steel rail and the steel rail pro-
| cess have been OF wonderful meaning
| to the industries of the age. Without
| the perfected steel rail the transpor-
tation nrohlem of the world Would ha
largely unsolved. The original iron
track on which Stephenson's locomo-
tive ran would be hammered to spln-
ters by the railroad train OF today.
Steel has made for lightness and
