Few people in the city realize the size

Iron Company's works that are being
constructed in South wilmington ad-
joining Eden Park The work has now
progressed sufficiently to allow one un
idea Of what it will be when completed.
The big buildings are looming up and
the scene IS one Of animated activity as
the hundreds OF worlmen make a din that
can be heard for several Squares and
which Is watched with no little curiosity
by the residents as they go about their
work
Some idea OF the size Of the plant can
be learned by the size of the buildings,
which are as follows: The foundry IS
29xi50 feet; the anneaiing house 229x42O
feet; carpenter pattern and machine shop
77xim feet: pattern safe building, 29xs3
feet engine and boiler house
i5xGoxl20 feet; office building. 5ox50 feet.
The buildings are a miniature city In

do show up to a greater advantage. The

about completed and the contractors, al

been so fierce.
They seem to have a stinger which IS
longer and sharper than ever before. Not
only do they burrow into the exposed
parts of the body, but they go through
stockings and sink their misery producing
bealS into the flesh and hold on for dear
life. They are really worse than mos
quitoes. The latter do not sally forth un-
til dark. but the flies start i'm early in
the morning and make life miserable for
those who are not barricaded behind
screens.
They have gained much knowledge by a
wide experience and pick out the most
