devoted his energies in the past 10 the

A Forty Story Building.

Architects have been much interested
lately by reports that q forty-story Of
fee building in Manhattan was among
the possibilities OF the next few months.
II can be stated definitely that plans
for such a structure have been prepared.
though whether 1t will actually be built
is mother question.
II is not only the height that makes
the proposition so grotesque, but the
Width. The site is that now occupied
by the old Virginia Hotel, on Eighth
Avenue, Broadway, and F1fty-eighth
Street. facing the Grand Circle This
site fronts 70 feet on the circle. 81 feet
on Fifty-eighth Street, 70 on Broadway,
and 70 on Eighth Avenue. The property
thus contains about 5000 square rect.
ar even IL suitably located, would
hardly be regarded as large enough for
an office building.
A skyscraper 400 fet high on this
small basis would be the greatest ar
chitectural monstrosity yet developed by
the high building craze. 1t would re-
semble nothing so much as huge tele-
graph pole. From a business stand
point as well the proposition is gro
tesque. The location is entirely with
out the skyscraper district High-class
tenants, even in a fairly proporuoned
are few modern Office buildings north
OF Twenty-third Street that pay. The
failure OF one OF the best-known of these
recently constructed is attributable 10
the scarcity OF high-paying permanent
tenants.
The present enterprise, therefore, would
probably be dismissed as absurd were II
not that a well-known yellow journal is
back of IL. The new building is to house
the newspaper in question. The proposed
monolith, therefore. would be erected
largely for the notoriety to be gained
thereby. At present II is said that the
forty-story building Is seriously pro-
posed. New York Post

Chrysanthemums Not Fragrant
Not much incense is to be found in
flowers of the country. except among
certain wild varieties.
Few OF the choice roses and violets
and fragrant blossoms are cultivated
there. The 500 odd varieties OF chrys-
anthemum grown in Japan are without
fragrance. Their peonies and tulips and
many other blossoms are likewise
scentless, and the tourist wonders how
the native can attach so much roman
tic value to them.
Their lotus flowers send up from the
ponds where they grow a cloying. sick
ly exhalation that is associated with
the atmosphere of a cathedral on
Easter day. Not always. though. is the
perfume OF the lotus delicious.
Leaves Are Flowers.
The Japanese idea of flowers differs
from the American. An autumn maple
leaf touched with the flaming dyes of
sunset, is as much a flower to them as
Is the geranium to US. They pat also
in the same category their dwarf trees,
which they train TO grow in many fan

varieties of these are fragrant, but this
attribute Is secondary TO the delicate
tints of white and pink. These have
