On the trunk appeared in large figures
$50. 70" As the negro contemplated a
trip through the north he forwarded
the money FOR q trunk. When the
trunk arrived the colored ma was
very indignant. The figures We're miss
ing from its side. He returned the
trunk, demanding his money back be-
cause Of the important omission.
The trunk firm saw the point, ad-

amends agreed to paint an additional
figure. When the trunk arrived the
second time the negro was satisfied.
On its side, in glaring colors, were the
figures '$16.75."

CURIOSITY OF skY.scRaPsR.
Fire Escapes Dispensed with on the
Fifteen-Story Building.

IL escapes dispensed with on tho
Fifteen-Story Building.
one OF the ~curiosities of the sky
scraper is the fact that the law which
requires fire escapes on a ~fve-story
building dispenses with them on a ff-
teen-story building. Perhaps it realizes
tnat In case of fire no one would ever
De able to climb down twenty or TWEEN
ty-nve flights of giddy little iron lad
uers without losing his head. At my
rate, 1t depends entirely for safety in
the sky-scraper on tireproof construc-
ZION. There must be nothing about it
that can burn. And there is not. Stair
ways are Of marble and iron. There
Is little, a very little wood trim about
IL Offices, but even if it caught fire
1t would not feed the flames for long
and would leave the building practical
ly uninjured.
VI course, wood does go into the con-
struction Of the building, but all such
wood must, in buildings we twelve
stories high, according to law, be fire
proofed, chemically treated so that it
VIII not burn. The sky-scraper says
TO Its tenants: There isn't going to be
a fire and, If there is, you can get out
by the elevators Elevator shafts
are constructed absolutely unburnable,
with not a thing about them to feed
the flames. The lesson of the New
York Life Building Il few years ago
was thoroughly learned and to-day the
hreproof sky-scraper must be really
%fireproof.
When Il realizes that New York is
at present investing some seven mil
lions In these castles in the air, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. that are even now
building they are charging the city
by an acreage of One-seventh Of its
original area and. that they are daily
shooting further and further into the
air one cannot but wonder what the
sky-scraper Of the next quarter of a
century will be. There seems to be
no chance of a return to first princi-
Piles. Such buildings as the Herald
building, uptown, and the new Stock
Exchange and the new Chamber Of
Commerce, downtown, may be very
fine, architecturally, and beautiful in
themselves. But, unfortunately, they
are not by themselves. To be appre-
ciated they would have to be seen and
to be seen they would have to be set
on a plain somewhere, moi crowded, as
they are, into the shadow of the TWEEN
ty-ive story air castles which New
York's millions are rearing over New
York's infinitely precious soil.

as a single cartman can push a heavy
box over the rollers with ease, and the
new device makes the operation prac-
tically ~noiseless. There is no chance of
the box sliding down the incline, as the
rollers have automatic locks which pre-
vent them from revolving backward.
The skid can be reversed for unload
ing goods from the wagon, or may be
used as a truck for moving burdens On
level ground by using 1t with the roll
ers face down. With the time saved In
both loading and unloading, the neces-
sity for fewer men and the great de-
crease of danger to both the truckman
and the goods; 1t would seem that this
new skid has much to recommend Its
use by express companies, glass, porce-
lain and plano factories and all con-

With its use all necessity for turning
the boxes over and over as they are

damaging the contents of the package.
Fewer men are required to handle
heavy freight where this skid Is used,
