New York, March 25.-It is stated
in good quarters that at a meeting

a proposition to purchase the stock

pany will be framed. Later this pro-
posal will be presented to the West
ern Union directors. 1t is said the
proposition will be somewhat similar
to that made by the Interborough

,.attan elevated, and that George J.
Gould as a telegraph stakeholder is
quite as willing to entertain a prop
ositi0n as he was as Manhattan
stakeholder. In other words, it is
understood Mr. Gould is desirous Of

Building Now as Romans Did

Reinforced concrete is the name Civ

planted structural steel in many lines
Of engineering work, and has now en-
tor Of iron beams and girders.
The advent of concrete into this
sphere is another step toward obtain
ing a building absolutely freproof at
moderate cost. Durability and rigidity
reach their perfection in this sub
stance, according to the men who are
introducing it.
To erect one Of these reinforced con-
crete buildings, the carpenter first con-
structs mould or frame. For instance,
where there is to be an upright pillar,
a hollow box of the proper length is
erected, and into this the plastic con-
crete is put. Within ten days the COM
position has hardened. In like manner
a horizontal beam or floor is put in
place. There are no joints. Wherever
there is an angle the meeting columns
are made at the same time, and con-
sequently knit together.
A structural beam, commonly called
an beam, because of it's shape, has
three parts-the upper flange, the web

stress is eXerted against the lower
f1ange or tension member.
Buried in the concrete of this tension
member are round rods of iron of from
one to one and one-half inches in diam
eter. This produces building mater
ial absolutely rigid when subjected to
sudden shocks.
The concrete beams are not any
bulkier than the iron and steel ones.
The largest concrete span in the world
is the aqueduct over gorge near Clar-
ems, Lake Geneva, Switzerland. 1t is
65-foot straight span, bearing a
weight per running foot Of $500
pouds. When tested by the authorities
it had DETECTION of of but 1-42,OOO
of the total span-very remarkable
from an engineering point of view.
1t is estimated that the cost of con-
crete building is from Is to 30 per cent
lower than that Of an iron one. This
material saves later expenditures such
as are incurred by the frequent paint
ing OF exposed iron columns.

Only the most audaCious of the fad
dlsts so so far as to wear the gla IS
actually stuck in the eye.
Most women who use il have a
dainty little handle of gold. set with
jewels. by which thqy hold il up.
while others even go to the extent
OF having gems set in the rim in
which the glass is inserted. Some
people have a round glass. while 9th
efs nave square one. They are
very much like the old "uuizzins"
glasses of the time of our grandmoth
ers or great -grandmothers, and while
some people do undoubtedly use them
because they need them there are a
sood many women who Use an eye
glass simply because it is the fash
ion. There were attempts made three,
or four years ago TO make the eve
glass fashionable
Instead of the mans plain silk cord.
women wear fine chains made of gold
Or silver or gun metal.
Some attribute this monocle fad
to the influence of Prince Henry. of
Prussia, on the occasion of his re-
cent visit. But why the poor. inno-
cent prince should be blamed. the
Lord only knows, for he is guitess
Of wearing a monocle.
But whoever is to blame. the fad
is here, and. to all appearances. is
here to stay.
