OF a tower say 1000 feet high. The EInel tower is
ss5 feet high. Why could We not go the French
fifteen feet better? The idea of triangular tower,

In profuSion ana towers with nNe SlueS
and hexagona octagonal and various other sorts OF
towers. but have never seen or heard much of
three cornered tower. My idea is 10 have the top
OF the tower bell shaped This would permit the
carrying out of a pet idea of mine That is the
construction of pendulum. IL could hang on ball
bearings from top OF the bell like clapper. and
extend down to just far enough from the ground TO
be conveniently safe. Once started this pendulum
would swing all through the time the exposition
was open. The earths motion would be readily per-
ceptible."
