The walls, or rather wall, of the
barn are 25 feet. high and IS feet in
diameter, the roof running to cone.
There is no such thing as post or
pillar in the barn. In order to pre-
vent the weight of the roof from
spreading, three heavy steel hoops
encircle the building. The barn Is
cyclone proof, for wind has no chance
to get hold on the structure. The
stalls for horses and cattle are ar

The patient was brawny dock la

p,eted when, not having quite recov.

from the chair and violently attacked
