Ferris Wheel, the Largest Revolve

Ferris Wheel, the Largest RevoIve
Ever Made, Is Mass of Ruins.
ST. Louis, Mo-, May 1.-THE Ferris
wheel at the Worlds fair grounds has
been wrecked by a blast of dynamite.
The monster wheel is now only a tam
'gled mass of bent and twisted iron rods
and pillars.
Mrs. w. G. Bennett, wife of the SUI
p~erintendent of the Chicago House
Wrecking company, touched al electric
button, there was a dull boom. and the
great wheel fell in ruins. The three
inch steel truss o d were bent and
twisted, the iron columns broken and
the rim of the wheel smashed together
and h heads of the bolts snapped off.
Forty sticks of dynamite We're
touched off in the foundation, but the
the concrete, not causing the wheel to
topple. The d~rillers began work at
once to put in the much larger charge,
which brought down the wheel and
structure, weighing 4,200 tons.
The wheels career ended in its thir-
teenth year. 1t vas first set up on the
Midway in Chicago as a feature of the
Columbian exposition in 1898. Then
for a long period of monumental and
Improbable inactivity it lowered in an
amusement park at North Clark street
and Wrightwood avenue in Chicago,
n it finally was removed to ST. Louis
to be used in the Louisiana Purchase
exposition.
The wheel was TIE wonder of two
continents, by reason of it's cost of
$4,000 it's dimensions and it's utter
uselessness. 1t was h rival of the
Eiffel tower of Paris. Chicago was
glad to get rid of it, and ST. Louis is
said to have witnessed its destruction
with satisfaction.
George Washington Gale Ferris,
president of a Pittsburg engineering
firm, originated the idea of the wheel
that bore his name, taking the notion
from a bicycle and adapting the con-
structive principles for steel bridges
In it's erection.
Ferris financed the wheel, built it in
Pittsburg, erected it at the Chicago
Columbian exposition and took in $780,
600 at so cents a ride. Then Ferris
took a trip to Europe. Later he lost
all interest in the monster, and died in
Pit:sburg of tuberculosis. He was only
40 years old.
The cost Of taking down the wheel
was 100000. Its ruins are estimated as
worth $4,000 as scr;.p iron.

Armstrong; property, and litigation
ensued. which lasted half a century.
Meantime many factories and other
business structures were erected on the

court, have 10 right there. The heav-
lest losers are the Fowler Packing

crease of 71,169 in five years. Some
ACCOMPLISHMENTS gained and others lost,
among the latter being the fourth, SIXTH,

enough to cause each to lose a deputy
in the chamber. The strange result thus
obtained is that, though Paris shows
an increase of over 10000, on account
of the fashion in which the population
is distributed, it will have only thirty
deputies instead of forty. Tie
falling off in certain ACCOMPLISHMENTS is
explained by movements toward the
