TALLEST ~
~ CHIMNEY
ITS OUTLET is MORE
THAN CSC FEET
HIGH.

from the hill upon which the chimney
is built, thereby reducing to a rational
amount the cost of the construction,
the outlet of the said chimney being
300 feet above the adjoining plane.
Notwithstanding this great saving by
the construction of the flue and utiliZ-
ing nature for the additional height,
the chimney alone cost over thirty-one
thousand dollars; the construction of
the $40 feet of fiue $4,000, hence the
total cost is about fifty-six thousand
dollars, including excavations, founda-
lions and the necessary iron rings; the
two latter items cost 50, $40. But even
this tremendous cost has been a good
investment so far, as the company has
not been compelled to pay any dam
ages to the surrounding property hold
ers since the erection of this big Chin
ney; whereas before divers claims had
to be satisfied to the extent of 40 per
cent, according to governmental de-
cisions. The chimney was erected ac-
cording to the design of Master Me-
chanic o. Huppner, in Freiburg, in
Saxony. by the largest and most prom
inent firm OF German chimney build
.ers, H.. r. Heinecke, and was begun
upon Sept. 25, 1885, and completed on
Oct. 2S, 1889. The system employed
was the perforated radial brick, in the
same method as was pursued in the
erection of the two chimneys at the
works of Adam Weber Sons, at Weber,
N. j., ON the Raritan river, which sys-
tenn this firm is now introducing in
America. Judging by results and the
general demands in this line it will not
be long before America will surpass
this big construction with a still taller
chimney. The following data will be
OF interest showing the immensely Of
this construction: The base of the
chimney lies 80 feet under the level,
and is 10 feet inches square, cover
ing an area of 1850 square feet. The
following quantity of material was
used, viz: Thirteen thousand eight
hundred and eighty-three cubic feet for
foundation work; 17736 cubic feet for
pedestal SO, 666 cubic feet for the COL
umn, giving a total of 95,2S5 cubic feet
of mason work. The mason work had
a special weight of l24.S pounds per
cubic foot; the entire lot then to be
carried was 5,3OS& gross tons, and the
weight to be sustained by the founda-
lions, at a dead calm, was 3.45 tons per
square foot. In consideration of the
normal wind pressure of 1852 pounds
per square foot, which is officially ac-
copied in Germany as a statical calm
for chimneys, the weight to be sus-
tanned by the foundations is increased
to Az tons per square foot. There is
no doubt that this chimney with all its
details and peculiarities, is one of the
greatest works ever erected in this
particular line, and is accepted to-day
b. the official organs of Germany as
standard of chimney construction

This Man Had n Strong Faith.

Charles Bell, of Albion, Mich, be-
came so confirmed a believer in the
efficacy of faith that he believed him
self able to take poison without any
ill-effects- So he took "a grains OF
morphine the other day. The next
morning he appeared sick, but
triumphant, and told of his feat. He
said he had vomited up the morphine
and felt no serious i'll effects from TAX
ing it. The success of this test prob
ably encouraged him to go further
with his experiments, for he bought
revolver and declared his intention OF
proving that he could shoot himself
without fatal results. He then went to
the front yard of his house, and, plac-
ing the revolver to his temple, fired.
Death was instantaneous.

Experience has shown thai the
height of factory chimneys is not alone
dependent on how much smoke or
other special poisonous gases" have
to be removed by it. On the contrary
it is essential that a chimney, especial
~ when it has to remove poisonous
and other detritus products of com
bustion containing dangerous ard I'M
healthy poison, not alone for human
beings, but for plants as well, is TO be
constructed TO such height that the
escaping gases produce no harm. es-
pecially at chemical factories and gas
works, where, in most cases, the poi
sonous and dangerous products of
combustion escape before they enter
the 6ue, thus demanding frequently
and costly construction, which is Of
ten found impossible to carry out.
After the experience of today, an out
let height OF about 800 feet above the
level is considered sufficient to pre-
Vent harmful action to plant life, as
well as the interference with the health
of people living in the vicinity of the
chimney. Should this territory be sur
rounded with wooded heights, ii is
well to increase i'm the same ratio the
height of the chimney. In rolling or
billy country the outlet of the Chin
ney must be placed at least 300 feet
above the highest point of the sur
rounding hills; a chimney in the val
ley would, in consequence OF this great
height, cost so much that 1t is cheaper
TO build the fiue of the chimney on this
highest point. and erect the chimney
proper on the already existing higher
plane supplied by nature. On account
OF this aforesaid condition the Royal
Saxon Smelling works at Halsbrucke,
in Freiberg, were compelled to build a
high chimney, which can safely be con-
sidered to be the highest and most
prominent chimney Of this century.
This chimney has height above the
surrounding plane of 459 feet. The
height of the chimney itself is 429 feet
inches, and at the square base it is
20 feet 6 inches, and, therefore. at the
time of its completion, in 1889, was the
highest chimney in the world. The top
internal diameter is over feet. This
enormous height did not suffice to sup"
ply sufficient security for the surround
ing neighborhood against the outgo-
ing gases, and, therefore, this chimney
was erected upon one of the adjoining
highest hills, which is 1877 feet higher
than the smelling works, situated in
the valley. In consequence of this po-
SitiOn the chimney obtains an addi-
tional height, an increased efficiency
equivalent to a height of over Csc feet
AS this chimney could not be placed
next to the factory but was built, as
before mentioned, upon the highest
hill, fiue of over 1,640 feet was con-
structed, which runs part OF the dis
lance over a bridge, especially built to
hold the construction over the River
Nude, which separates the factory

Cab Service in
..Germany..

l have spent most of the summer in
Germany, says a returned American,
and am convinced that the Germans
perhaps more than any other peple
have solved the problem of living.
Without going into the details of good
cooking, open air life, good hotels,
cleanliness, cheapness and general
comfort, there is one thing about Ger
man cities that appeals to me. The
especial object of resentment and OBJ
lection that l cherish in this country
is the American cabman and his ex-
orbitant prices. In London and Paris
the tariff for the employment of cabs
is more or less clearly defined, but
still disputes may arise. In Germany
however, they have solved the prob
lem absolutely. They have attached
to every cab, carriage or public We
hicle a sort of automatic arrangement
on the box directly behind the driver,
and in plain sight of the passenger. 1t
explains upon its face that it registers
the tariff for the hire of the vehicle.
When you get in the wagon the driver
duJuSIS luiS IcBIblcl. "A any pa6 sage
is carried the face of the register pro-
claims how much he is allowed for
every piece OF luggage, and he rings
it up before he starts. Then the tax
imeter is attached to the wheels Of the
wagon in some way, so that every rev.
olution of the wheel is registered. In
stead of registering the distance gone,
or the number of the revolutions Of the
wheel. the taximeter registers the
charge for the distance gone. 1t
changes in 10 pfennig jumps. Ten
pfennigs in our money is about 212
cents. The result is that person is
charged about 2H cents for every
eighth of mile. The machines are
absolute and accurate, and the work
ings are so open that even the most
obtuse can realize the fairness of it.
This is spoken of merely as a hint to
the municipal authorities of the va
rious American cities in control OF
hack rates. The establishment Of
taximeter system of this kind would
be of inestimable value to the people
who patronize them. and in the end
would be of great value to the hack
men themselves. as. assured of honest
treatment, thousands of people would
use cabs who now refrain owing to the
wild license for charging that the
American hackman enjoys.
