THE MODERN GRAIN ELEVATOR.
It Is a Group Of Enormous Tanks Made
of Hollow Thing.

There has been a revolution in grain
elevator construction in recent years. In

In the same building.
Nowadays, according to Insurance En-
cheering, the practice is to put the ma
chinery in a separate building and store
the grain in large tanks connected with
the machinery building by belt convey
ors. There is little doubt that the old
fashioned wooden grain elevator with
all its Objectionable features is thing
of the past.
In the modern grain tank of hollow
terra Gotta tile, built circular in shape,
the walls consist of blocks six inches in
thickness and eight inches in height,
furred on the outside with tiles two
inches in thickness and twelve inches in
height (the Turing tiles overlapping the
smaller blocks, making wall eight
Inches in thickness, the whole being re-
inforced by pairs of steel tension bands
running through the walls at frequent
intervals.
The steel tension bands ar imbedded in
q cement grouting and the outside fur
ring is applied with a cement mortar.
The foundation walls and base are built
of concrete.
One of these new elevators has ca
pacity of 100000 bushels, and consists

THE SHIPS THAT SINK.
What Becomes of Those That Go to the
Bottom of the Sea.

What Becomes of Those That Go to the
Bottom of the Sea.
What becomes of the ship that sinks
In midocean? If it is of wood it takes,
in the first place, considerable time for
1t to reach the bottom. In a hundred or
more fathOms of water a quarter of an
hour will elapSe before the ship reaches
bottom. 1t sinks slowly, and when the
bottom is reached it falls gently into the
soft, oozy bed, with no crash or break
ing
OF course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or if it is
an iron ship it sinks rapidly and some
times strikes the bottom with such force
as to smash in pieces. Once sunken a
ship becomes the prey of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home. Be
sides this, they cover every inch of the
boat with a thick layer of lime. This
takes time, of course, and when one
generation dies another continues the
work. until finally the ship IS so laden
with heavy incrustations, corals, sponges
and barnacles that, if wood, the creak-
ing .timbers fall apart and slowly but
surely are absorbed in the waste at the
sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
quickly than those of wood, which NAV
last for centuries. The only metals that
withstand the chemical action of the
waves are gold and platinum, and glass
also seems unaffected. No matter how
long gold may be hidden in the ocean.
1t Will always be gold when recovered.
ana this fact explains the many roman
tic and adventurous searches after hid
den submarine treasures lost in shin
wrecks.-Baltimore Sun.

II was orderly assemblage and an un-
commonly wel-dressed turnout, many of
the fair sex selling the opportunity TO dis
play costumes which would have graced a
enade. Under the circumstances and amid
such surroundings it was little wonder that
both teams were keyed up to the highest
pitch and resolved TO give the spectators
the best exhibition of the national pastime
that could be afforded. This contract was
fulfilled TO the letter, and when the crowds
hled out of the Enclosure after witnessing
an hour and three-quarters of play there
was but one sentiment. and that was both
