would be steel and concrete. What

$50 far as mechanics are concern
ed" said the engineer, give us enough
room for base and there isn't any
physical limit to the height to which
we can raise an iron and steel struc-
ture. We could build one right now
that would have perpetual snow on it's
top like a mountain and be wreathed
with clouds. The only limit is the
limit of financial practicability."
well, we haven't reached that linn
it yet, said the architect. Il shouldn't
like to prophesy how high buildings
will go in the next few years. But
one thing is. sure, and that is that
man isn't going to give up his newly
found architectural dominion of the
air. So long as we can build income
producers straight UP into free air
and free light without paying a cent
for it, so long will we do it. Soon
there won't be a city in the land that
will be without its skyscrapers

ants. There won't be anybody in it
except those who do business in it,
and in the evening they will dart off

posed to the tendency, which is to GO

A FTER dinner in a New York
n restaurant last week three
4 y men had little talk about
matters concerning the future
of their professions. The prominence
OF the three was enough to make their
conversation more than ordinarily in
teresting, and what they said opened
a new world for the imagination.
One man is civil engineer, whose
name is known throughout the United
States. The other is a government
expert i'll metallurgy, and his investi-
cations have become famous through
out the world; the third is an architect
who has built more than half dozen
great skyscrapers, and is planning an
other one now, bigger than any that
have gone before.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-07-17

There is one sad thing about
this conversation. None of the three
would permit himself to be quoted.
Man alive!'' said the engineer.
what do you suppose my railroads
would say to me if they thought that
7 had so much imagination as all
that? They'd think l was going
crazy. So, while l do believe that all
these things are possibilities, l must
ask you to let me duck from under
so far as putting my name to it is
concerned"

The architect began it. He men
toned casually that he had just re-
turned from Egypt, whittier he had
gone to take good look at some old
piece of sculpture which he proposed
to reproduce in his new skyscraper.

was born in bingham, N. H., April II,
1920. daughter of John NJ. and Judith

first to Robert Usher of Kingheld, anu alter
his death to Abram Burns OF Lexington.
Mr.. Burns died years ago. OF her chill

Mrs. Beams son, Leland H. Piper OF Bel
fast. Her father built log cabin IN the
forest in the then plantation OF Gilman
Pond, now the town of Lexington. In her
early life she was taught the usual occupa-
tions of young women of that day and be-
came an expert with the wool card, spin
ming wheel, hand loom, knitting needles,
etc. She continued in good health and fol-
lowed those various occupations in connec-
ton with her homework until modern
methods supplanted those of the olden time.
She still knits many pairs OF SOCKS each
year, and could card, spin and weave, should
the opportunity offer. She has had one
singular experience. Thirty-seven years
ago she had paralytic shock which de-
prived her of the use of her left leg and
arm. After being thus helpless for few
years she began to recover the use OF the
paralyzed limbs and the Improvement con-
tlnued SO that in about six years she was
wholly restored. She is now as well able
to work as the average person OF her age
and her eyesight is good. She will remain
with her daughter until July LIST, when she
will return to her home in Lexington.
