MARVEL OF ENGINEERING.
Great Smokestack at Butte. Mon
tana, Is Titan Among Tall
Chimneys.

Out at Butte. Mont. where the grea,
stamping mills and ore-concentrating
works have turned the mountain city
belching black and sulphurous fumes,
stands one tremendous tower. the top
OF which is $50 feet above the ground,
says the Mechanical World.
When It's erection was planned thu
first idea was to build II of brick. That
would have required thickness OF II
or 16 feet OF masonry at Its base. But
construction engineer from Chicago
was called into consultation. He pro.
posed that the huge chimney be built
OF concrete and, with some misgivings
the plan was adopted.
He prepared foundation Six fee,
deep. 12x12. OF concrete, with a NUN.
Der Of steel reinforcing rods. Begin
ming at the ground level, he carried
two thin concrete shells upward for
100 feet. The outer one Is only nina
inches In thickness, while. separated
by four inches OF space from this. IL
an inner shell five inches thick. At a
height of 100 feet these two unite into
single seven-inch shell of concrete,
which extends skyward until the vast
height of $50 feet is reached.
This chimney. many feet higher
than our modern city sky scrapers, is
therefore composed of but IA inches of
concrete at the base and half that
amount for the upper $50 feet. II is
not OF plain concrete. but is REINFORCED

LAND OF THE PARIS CABMAN



Savings to End His Days.
1t is popularity of Paris, which ev-
cry visitor who knows enough French
to tell one dialect from another must
have noticed, that nearly all Paris cab
men come from the same part of the
country. The same thing is true Of
coal merchants and of dealers in roast
ed chestnuts, who come from Au-
vergne; of the goatherds, who hawk
their milk about the streets, who are
Breton peasants, and of many other
trades.
The cab drivers land is probably lit
tie known TO Englishmen. 1t is down
in the Aveyron, and RodeZ is its capt.
tai, tiny village, where the worst Ian
guage and the best hearts in all France
are to be found. The eldest of each
family in Rodez takes the land and the
paternal cottage The old folks live
with him until their death, and the
younger sons go to Paris and drive
cabs
For years they drive about in all
weathers, scraping together sou by sou
until they have garnered enough to go
home and pay for their board and lodg-
ing for the remainder Of their days.
They go with the elder brother to a
notary on the first day of their return
home and sign deed by which he is
bound to keep them for the remainder
of their days in idleness in return for
their savings.-London Standard.

GORkY AND HIS MISSION.

one such meal, when the Russian re-
former ate with such well known
Americans as Mark Twain. Robert
Golfer David Graham Phillips, Robert
Hunter and Arthur Brisbane, he ap-
peared in his characteristic costume Of
a blue blouse butt0ned high up in the
neck, though most Of the guests were
attired in conventional evening dress.

CHAPTER XVI,

80 y the third morning Goodwin
"a VI awoke to see the rays of sun
a. rise streaming through the
latticed window. They fell
upon another bed near by, where Wulf
still lay sleeping. Il bandage ON his
head, that had been hurt in the last
charge against the assassins, and other
bandages about his arms and body,
which We're much bruised i'll the fight
upon the dreadful bridge.
Wondrous was it to Goodwin to watch
him lying there sleeping healthily, not.
withstanding his injuries, and to think
of what they had gone through to-
gether with so little harm: to think
also of how they had rescued Rosa
mund. oh, how wise they had been TO
obey the dying words of their uncle,
Sir Andrew, who doubtless was given
foresight at the end. God and his
saints had helped them. who could
not have helped themselves, and his
minister had been Masouda.
Why had MaSouda done these things,
again and again putting her own life
upon the hazard to save theirs and
the honor of another woman? As he
asked himself the question Goodwin felt
the red blood rise to his face. 1t was
no longer possible to hide the truth.
She loved him and had loved him from
the first hour when they met. He had
always suspected it-when she kissed
his feet after he had saved her from
the lion, and many another time
But as they followed Wulf and Rosa
mund up the mountain pass while the
host of the assassins Numbered at
their heels ana in broken gasps she
had told him of her sad history, then it
was that he grew sure. Then, too, he
had said that he held her not vile, but
noble, as indeed he did. And, thinking
their death upon them, she had an
swered that she held him dear and
looked on him as a woman looks rnon
her only love. Yet, if this were so.
why had MaSouda saved Rosamund,
the lady TO whom she knew we'll that
be was sworn?
An answer came into the heart of
Goodwin at the very thought of which
he turned pale and tremblcd. His
brother was also sworn to Rosamund,
and she in her soul must be sworn to
one of them. Was it not to Wulf?
Women can read each others heart
piercing wells through which no man
may see, and perchance Masouda had
read the heart of Rosamund. Oh. with.
out doubt it was 50, and Masquda had

ALL ANIMALS LIKE A JOKE.
They Pull Tails, Make Faces and
Play AItschievous Tricks.

They Pull Tails, Make Faces and
Play AItschievous Tricks.
A Siamese monkey was being
brought to Europe on a steamer with
several other monkeys, who for some
reason would have nothing to do with
him.
This ostrAcism exaSperated the Sia-
meSe, and whenever he got chance he
would grab one of the others by the
tail, drag him all over the deck and
finally climb into the rigging and drop
his victim with a dull thud.
Darwin tells of a female orang ou-
tang that took hold OF dish in which
her food was served and put it ON her
head as if it it were hat. Thus adorn-
ed she provoked rOCrs of laughter, to
her evident qualification, from the
crowd around her cage.
Another naturalist saw a baboon get
even with an officer who had often
leased him. Seeing the officer ap-
preaching, the DabOon poured some
water into a hole in the ground, mix
ing it with earth so as to make mud.
! When his enemy came up he splashed
form. For a long time after this every
time the animal saw the officer he in
dulged il what had every appearance
of being laughter.
Saville Kent declares that dolphins
are fond of teasing other fish by seiZ-
ing their tails and dragging them
through the water. He once saw two
dolphins attack a big skate swimming
near the surface of the water The
skate tried to escape them by raising
its tail out of water. but the dolphin
got hold of it and dragged the skate
in every direction.
FOals will often tease human beings
/ by galloping toward them, as if in
tending to run them down. then stop
ping short within an uncomfortable
short step or two.
Gross. the naturalist. relates several
amusing instances OF a similar nature
about dogs. He had once Il dog who
when given q piece of bread that he
did not care TO eat, dropped it and
then, lying upon it, pretended to look
all round with the most innocent air
as if wondering where it had fallen.
Another case he speaks of is that OF
n terrier whose greatest pleasure il
was to catch flies on the window panes
/ Nothing annoyed the animal more than
/ to be laughed at when he missed his
prey.
In order to discover what he would
! do says Gross. 4 purp0sely laughed
/ immoderately each time he was I'm
/ successful. and the more I laughed the
! clumsier lie grew.
AT last he was so Enthusiastically an
noyed that in his despair he pretended
to capture a fly and made the appro-
pirate movements of tongue ana lips
/ finally rubbing bis neck on the ground
! as if to crush his victim. after which
/ he regarded me with Il triumphant air.
so we'll had he played his little
| comedy that had I not seen the very
fly still on the window l certainly
would have been taken in by this
| trick. When l called his attention to
| the fact that the ily he had chased
was still at large and that there was
no dead fly on the floor he perfectly
understood that his hypocrisy had been
| discovered and was SO ashamed that
| he skunk away and hid under couch. u
