A handsome steel office building may rise from the ruins of the Gay building at the corner of Bibb and Commerce streets. which was destroyed by fire about month ago.

The lot has a frontage of 80 feet on commercs street and runs back 200 feet on Bibb street. The three store houses on Commerce street which were practically destroyed by fire were occupied ,. tn main office Of the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Phoenix Auction House and L Friedman. A carriage repairing estab- lishment occupies lhe building on the rear of the property which fronts On Bibb street. The estimated value of the property is s150.000.
 The property is owned by John F. Gay, Charles L. Gay, Edward Gay and W. L. Gay and Mayor ". M Teague and his sons. The Gays and the Teague's each own a one-half interest.

WATCH REGULATOR
Hundreds Of People Gather Every Day
to Watch the Big Steel Ball Drop.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Up on top of the Arcade is big
steel ball that tells the mariners on the
lakes the exact hour of noon. 1t tells
the pedestrians on the streets just when
to set their watches. 1t is operated by
the government, thru the medium of the
local office Of the United States hydro
grapher. r - -
Hundreds Of people watch for the ball
every day noon The curb of Superior
avenue is lined by men with watches
out Of pocket. Few Of them know,
however, what it is or for what it is
there. .5 ...sas5gt
: The government has taken into its
hands the protection Of seamen, and
hedges them about with every precau-.
ton. Not the least Of these Is the cor
rect time. So a ball has been arranged
on a tall building that will be raised
at FIVE minutes before noon every day
and lowered at the second of IL clock.
diameter and is operated along groove
in pole twenty feet high. The ball
drops automatically.
Down in the office of the photograph
er are mysterious little electrical in
struments that are in constant communi-
| cation with the naval observatory at
! Washington. The ball is connected with
| one of these instruments as is big
clock. Each tick of the clock is re-
codred in ink on paper-covered cylin-
| der. At l1:55 the ball is raised. The
current is turned into the mechanism
that controls it, and each tick Of the
clock affects the delicate mechanism.
At the stroke of IL the swing of the
pendulum releases the contact controll-
| ing the ball and it drops rapidly into
/ the great bowl built for it.
