Building from Top Down.

Because of delay in the delivery Of the great granite blocks which are to form the exterior of the lower floors of the new building of the Atlantic Insurance Company at Wall and Will liam streets. says the New York Sun. the contractor has gone ahead with the brick work on the upper floors leaving the lower part in skeleton form. The effect is very peculiar and gives the building a topheayy appear ance The cuts. ie of the upper floors, except the decorating and general cleaning up is all done and this part of the structure is entirely inclosed. Below there is nothing but the steel framework which continues down to the ground. People stand on the cor ners and look at the building curious ly every day. The contractor said that while it was rarely necessary to do the work from the top down it was not the first time he had had to do it on account of delay in the delivery of the heavy stone It is a perfectly safe thing to do. he says

EARTE.5 DRYEST SPOT.
Res ions of Greatest and Least Rain in
 the Nurits.

Regions of Greatest and Least Rain in
 the World.
 X place on the coast of Peru about 550 miles south of the equator. known as Payta. is supposed to be the dryest spot on the face Of the earth. The average interval between showers at Payta is seven years. When Professor FaiIchiid visited the place in February there had been. some time before drizzle lasting from 10 o'clock one evening till noon the next day. This was the first rain that had fallen in eight years. The opposite side of the world furnishes the counterpart to this almost rainless region. It is among the hills of Assam. where the eleya- tions condense the moisture brought by the south monsoon and pour del 0ge upon the Cherajonji station of the Indian government. The annual mean rainfall there is about 620 inches. and in the exceptional year of 1S61 it amounted to T90 inches Nowhere else does the tropical downpour equal that which descends upon this district among the khasta hills. The rains be- gin in March and continue almost steadily till the middle of November. That part of the plains adjoining the rivers is under water for eight months every year. During this period there is no communication. even between neighboring villages. and to this en- forced isolation is attributed the fact that there are considerable differences of language among the people of neigh boring hamlets who undoubtedly. at one time. spoke the same language. Their sWamps and quagmires keep them apart-New York Sun.

Platinum chains, on which are hung jeW5led pendants. are worn with a string of pearls and arranged so that only the pendant shows below the pearls. the little chain being hidden underneath. Those platinum chains are not inexpensive and many people do not think them as attractive as the gold ones. but for the purpose for which they are worn they are much more fashionable The setting in plat mum is also used for the jewels that form the pendant. and even pearls of value that have diamond casing have the diamonds set in platinum instead Of gold

There are great many reasons why it may not be possible for you to wear a dress suit.
