THE grandeur is the ostentation of an
era now forgotten in architecture. Com
fort and exclusiveness have supplanted
stately ceilings, Corinthian columns and
long, elaborate, but firing staircases.
These magnificent 35-foot columns keep
out light, give solemn look to justice,
and send men cropping about the hall
ways Another describes with his
gloves off: TWENTY-FIVE years ago,
when the twin buildings, the county
building and the city hall, were complet-
ed. little was known of architecture,
compared with the modern knowledge.
Inc structure never was work of art"
1t is very difficult matter to heat the
rooms, 1t costs enormously to try to keep
the place clean, and the waste of hall
space makes much ground to travel over,
takes up space that should have been
utilized for Office room. There seems no
dlssentlng voice in regard to urgency of
need for new building.
1t has been proposed that there betWo
distinct buildings, and that each be
given sufficient space to allow of set
ting OF green lawn, the structure to set
Well back from the street. Mayor Har-
rlson thinks it should not be on the Of
hce-bullding order, but should have an
individuality of its own, stand as one Of
the artistic features of the city The
mayor, judges, President Brundage of
the county board, county and city ctfi-
Gals generally, are enthusiastic over a
new building; plans of various sorts are
proposed.

for awhile was used for public purposes.
Along with the main body Of the build

center building; and from the molten
mass Of the bell were made souvenirs in
the shape OF small fire bells, which SOU

he called at the white house and had
talk with President Roosevelt on the
subject. Much as these two men differ
in their tariff views they are very
warm friends and all their conferences
are characterized by good nature.
The president asked Gen. Grosvenor
if he had studied the tariff schedules
and found any on which the duties
could be lowered. The general said
that he had found just one. IN looking
over the law he found that there was
duty Of one dollar ton on basic Stag.

INVENTIVE INGENUITY.

An Austrian railway mechanic h4S
discovered a process by which the smoke
OF warships can be entirely concealed
from view.
A clock which seems to be preem-
inently adapted for the sick-room or
hospitals Is the invention Of Prof. Hirth.
OF Munich. 1t consists merely in the de-
preston OF a button. which cuts In .
small electric lamp placed under tho
dial of an Observation-Disclosures clock,
throwing the shadow of the face and
its hands upon tho ceiling in a highly
magnifled state. Viewed from the bed
Of a reclining invalid. 1t obviates tho
irksome craning Of the neck.
The man with the flowing mustache
has not been forgotten by the inventor,
despite the fact that the many mustache
cups that one time or another have made
their appearance on tho market all
proved pecuniary failures. The latest
aspirant for the honors In this particu-
lar field Is an Englishman, who offers
neat little device for attaching to soup
spoons to facilitate the eating of soup
by the possessors OF long, flowing mus
taches. It is made Of aluminium and
embodies a spring design. which admits
OF its attachment to practically any
spoon.
A French electromouon company has
produced an electric carriage in which
the use OF pinions. chains and gearing
for transmitting motion to the driving
wheels Is entirely dispensed with. In
this new machine the motors and the
wheels. are described as being one and
the same thing. The axles receive their
motive power directly from the accumu-
lators. The weight of the carriage is
thus reduced, and it Is asserted that
these '1ive-axle" machines can travel
20 to 80 per cent, farther than those OF
ordinary construction because of tho
saving OF energy. The appearance OF
the new carriages is improved, except
that the wheels have clumsier look
