CURIOSITY OF skY-s 81,
Fire Escapes Dispe nsed with ION the
" -z<.r 1EFifteen-Story Building.

Fire Escapes Dispe nsed with .5on the
Fifteen Story Building. s%
One Of the curiosities of the SKY.
scraper Is the fact that the law which
requires fire escapes on q five-story
building dispenses with them on a fif-
teen-story building. Perhaps it realizes
that In case Of fire no one would ever
be able to climb down twenty or TWEEN
ty-1ive flights of giddy little iron lad
ders without losing his head. At any
rate, 1t depends entirely for safety in
the sky-scraper on fireproof construc-
ton. There must be nothing about it
that can burn. And there is not. Stair
ways are Of. marble and iron. There
is little, very little wood trim" about
the offices, but even If it caught fire
it would not feed the flames for long
and would leave the building practical
~ uninjured
OF course, wood does go into the con-
struction Of the building, but all such
wood must, in buildings over twelve
stories high, according to law, be fire
proofed; chemically treated so that it
will not burn. The sky-scraper says
to its tenants: ''There isn't going to be
fire and, If there is, you can get out
by the elevators" Elevator shafts
are constructed absolutely unburnable.
with not thing about them to feed
the flames. The lesson Of the New
York Life Building few years ago
was thoroughly learned and to-day the
freproof sky-scraper must be really
tireproof.
When one 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 it's
original area and that they are daily
shooting further and further into the
air one cannot but wonder what the
sky-scr2rer of the next quarter of a
century will be. There seems to be
no chance Of a return to first princi-
pies. Such buildings as the Herald
building, uptown, and the new Stock
Exchange and the new Chamber Of
commerce, downtown, may be very
fine: intellectually, and beautiful in
themselves. But, unfortunately, they
are not by themselves. To be appre.
efated they would have to be seen and
ito be seen they would have to be set
on plain somewhere, not crowded, as
they are, into the shadow of the TWEEN
;ty-Gye story air castles which New
Works millions are rearing over New
:York's infinitely precious soil.

Burning Leaves.

The burning Of leaves in our London

to- the average gardener besides neat

which will eat up his beautiful young

which, just now, shone through the
beautiful hazel eyes.
Hating the young widow more In
tensely than ever, but thoroughly
ashamed Of their rudeness, others came
flocking around. Even Isabel, deciding
that with DR.. Thornton's thousands an
ignorant relative made no difference,
insisted on accompanying the old
couple to the house.

PIRATES IN HISTORY.
Their Works Live After Them in E.
axgerated Fiction.

Their Works Live After Them in Ex-
axgerated Fiction.
There was a worldwide gulf be-
tween Drake and Morgan; but it was
Spanish ferocity that taught the bucca-
neers their bloody trade; and bestial as
they We're, they were not utterly des-
picable, for they fought marvelously.
L'Olonnois at Maracaibo, Morgan sack
ing Panama with his 1900 rufhans,
put the fear of death into the
Spaniards. But neither Spaniard nor
buccaneer could stop the growth of
commerce and civilization, and early
in the eighteenth century the great
fleets that followed L'Olonnois and
Morgan had dwindlcd to crazy ship
or two commanded by such overrated
scoundrels as the pirates of New
Providence" petty rascals, whose loot
was generally as paltryas their crimes.
There has been curious conspiracy
among those who have written upon
the subject to exaggerate the wicked
ness of these men; as If their truculent
swagger, their blood-curdling violence
Of language, had served to impose
upon their modern biographers as well
as to intimidate the degenerated sailor
men of their own day. Howard Pyle,
Of Wilmington, Del, published one Of
the latest histories of their exploits
under the title of 1.-THE Buccaneers and
Marooners Of America" From this we
learn that CAPTAIN William Kidd, who
was hanged at Execution Dock in 17O1,
never killed anybody but his own gun
ner, whose skull he crushed with a
bucket. According to 1.-The General
History Of the Pyrates," published by
Captain Charles johnson in 1924, his
greatest booty amounted to about g.
900. Captain Edward Teach, otherwise

Grumley welcomed the delegates in
'happy praises" instead OF "happy
phrases, and that Miss Willis and Mrs.
Beeler made the report from johnson

was written. 1t also left out entirely
our statement that Mrs. S. G. Williams
made the report for the Monday Club
of Johnson City, one of the best reports
made and which showed that our city
club has been doing fine work, and
which was received with particular
pleasure by the Federation.

are always ready to excuse writer, pub
