the name of Wildman, was considerably
bruised and his wrist was badly sprained.
The fireman, by the name of johnson, was
thrown to the ground and all of the coal
fell on him. but he escaped serious in

STEEL SKYSCRAPERS WILL
OUTLAST THE PYRAMIDS

New York, September 23.-(Special)-
How long will the skyscraper last? Since
the announcement that fifteen new sky
scrapers are to be constructed here there
has been considerable discussion Of this
question Engineers and architects who
are familiar with the problems involved
are agreed that if proper precautions are
taken to protect the structural steel from
rust and fire there IS practically no limit
To their endurance
In view of the fact that 600 are TO
be put into these fifteen new skyscrapers
the assurance that they will stand for
generations has given their owners and
builders a considerable feeling of security.
The ordinary observer hardly realizes
what extraordinary precautions are neces-
sary to prevent any serious injury to the
big steel structures Of this and other large
cities Foundations even Of structures
thirty or forty stories high, are now so
firmly built that although the whole build
ing may weigh hundreds of millions II
pounds it cannot sink the fraction of
an inch. The large area of a structure
over 500 feet high makes the question of
wind bracng one for very serious and
accurate calculation, but architects have
now got the thing down so fine that they
can work out this difficult problem TO
nicely.
With the question of foundations and
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-09-24

wind bracing settled, then come the prob
lens of protecting the structural steel
from rust and heat and the proper use
of fre-prooflng materials. 1t is upon
the adequate protection of the Steel that
the life of a skyscraper depends Once
rust or corrosion sets in the destruction
Of the whole building would become y
matter of time only. But this is one of
the most unlikely things that could hap
pen In the modern skyscraper. Structural
steel Is now so thoroughly encased in
hollow tile that moisture and damp can
rot affect 1T in any way. At the same
Tine the hollow tile protects the stG-l
from bucllling In case of fire.
The great heights of the modern sky
scrapers makes it indispensable that they
should be actually freproof-that is, un-
hnrnable. Architects are agreed that this
can be most effectively done by building
the floors and partitions of hollow tile
bricks so that in the event of fire 1t
is confined to the area in which it starts.
The remarkable showing made by the
steel and tile skyscrapers in San Fran
cisco, and the fact that many of them
are ready for occupancy again, proves
that skyscrapers of this type of eonstfuc
ton are safe from any fire.
Electric installation in big buildings q
row so carefully done that the danger of
electrolysis is very remote In fact as en-
gineers and scientists point out. unless
some unknown danger arises the sky
scraper of the modern day will stand as
solid and as enduring as the pyramids
of the ancents.

UNCLE SAM HAS ADOPTED MANY
UNIQUE SCHEMES FOR RENDER
ING VESSELS SAFE IN MOST
TRYING EMERGENCIES.

New York, September 2S.-(speclal)-
United States naval officers do not admit
that the monster battleships planned by
Great Britain and Italy are necessarily
more effective than warships of the Con-
Observation-Disclosures and Miehigan-South
Carolina types. Now that fuller details
have reached here regarding the Cunt
berti battleship, with which Italy expects
to outclass the "Dreadnought.e there is
less disposition than ever to over-estimate
the Importance of Italy's more.
"On paper" a naval constructor attach
ed to the Brooklyn yard said, both
Great Britain and Italy will have ships
greatly superior to any thing in our
navy. But all comparisons which take
into consideration merely comparative dis
placement and battery strength are mis-
leading. No one knows IS yet how these
monster warships will behave at sea. The
"Dreadnought" went into commission
only two weeks ago, and has never had
a trial of any kind. And their effective
ness In action is In even greater doubt
Moreover, the assumption that the big
gest battleship can whip one of a few
hundred tons smaller leaves out of ac-
count the matter of seamanship, brains,
courage, craftsmanship, and relative eff
cheney. American warships may not be
as big as the biggest, but in personnel

and equipment they equal anything
afloat"
This officer called attention to the en-
placement Of the Pinch guns on the
Connecticut" which has been so plan
ned that they have a range of fire from
dead ahead to a point well abeam. An
other device that adds vastly to the safety
of American warships is the arrangement
for closing all the bulkhead doors In time
of danger. From an emergency station on
re bridge or in the pilot house all the
doors below the water line can be closed
almost instantly by what is known as
the Long Arm" system. Each door and
the armor matches have an electric mo-
tor, connected with the central station.
In any emergency the ship can be rem
dered practically unsuitable in a few
minutes by starting these motors and
making the water-tight compartments so
many life preservers. That 1t is no i'm
aginary danger against which naval con-
structors are guarding our warships by
perfecting their bulkhead arrangements
In this way, Is shown by a long line of
marine disasters, beginning with the loss
OF the Victoria and coming down to the
husso-Ja panese war. Other powers are
deeply interested in the Long Arm
system. but for the present United States
lighting ships alone have the advantage
OF the most eeffctive means of safety de-
vised since the water-tight bulkhead was
introduced
Our newest warships also have a steam
ing radius of 5000 miles, much greater
than that of any other battleships ahoat.

NEW ORLEANS INDIGNANT
OVER REPORTS SENT OUT

Indignation and the New Orleans Progress
sive union wired Secretary Of the Navy
Bonaparte demanding an investigation
Congressman Davey of Louisiana was T.
Washington and a visit to the navy de-
pertinent resulted in a complete change
of front, he being advised that the Louis
lana would be sent about December 1,
that the naval board demanded by the
Progressive union to take soundings would
be sent here meanwhile. while the CHIEF
engineers department of the war depart
ment asserted there was ample water at
the passes for the Louisiana. The river
in front of New Orleans has a depth of
nearly 200 feet, and a fine harbor is afford
ed vessels of all sizes.
On numerous occasions when war yes
sells were wanted here for special feat
ures. reports have cropped out Of Wash
ington calculated to inspire fear that
such vessels might be damaged. 1t was
decided to settle the matter finally, hence
the board of inquiry was demanded. The
largest floating steel dry dock in the
world, except the Dewey at Manila, is
located opposite the United States naval
station at New Orleans, and the govern
ment has thrown it open to the use of all
vessels, many of which make the Louis
lana seem small in comparison.

COTTON PICKING SLOW.
Considerable Damage Done In Tennes-
see Valley by Drouth.

Decatur, September 23.-(Special) Got
ton picking throughout the Tennessee val
leg is progressing very slowly as yet. But
little cotton has as yet been picked
though 1t is expected that the crop will
commence to move more rapidly within
the next week. The farmers of this Sec
ton regard the prevailing prices generally
as very good and as a result most of the
cotton that has been picked has been
marketed Most of the farmers will hold
their crop unless the prices remain around
10 cents. They are of the opinion that
10 cents can be had fer the entire crop,
although some of 1t may have to be held
later on as the crop commence to move
in volume. The farmers as a rule, in
this portion of the state are in a better
financial condition now than they have
been for many years, ana as a result
they will not be compelled to sell their
crop unless .the prevailing prices suit
them.
During the past two weeks a drouth
has done some damage to the crop in
portions of the Tennessee valley by caus-
ing the plant to shed. However, heavy
general rain during the middle of the
past week put an end to the drouth,
and as a result the plant is not shedding
now. Fortunately at no time during the
season has insects bothered the plant.
The plant is of good size we'll branehed,
healthy and we'll fruited Taking the
Tennessee valley all over the crop this
year will be as good If not better than 1t
was last year.
In some portions of the valley labor for
picking is insufficient, though the farm
ers think they will be able to gather the
crop though 1t is going to make them
late in doing so with the present supply
of labor.

NEW ORLEANS PLANS
TO GET CONVENTION
City Extended First Invitation to Ma
tlonal Democratic Committee to
Hold Convention There in 1908.

New Orleans, September 23.-(special)-
Governor Blanchard, democratic national
committeeman from Louisiana, Is san
guine that the next convention of the
committee may be held in New Orleans.
AT a meeting of the committee in New
York just prior to the Bryan reception he
read to his associates a telegram from
President Albert Godchaux of the New
Orleans Progressive union, inviting the
committee to meet here in 1908 to nomi-
nate the democratic candidate for Pres
ident
This was the first city to make formal
offer to secure the convention, though
several have since followed Mr.. Bryan's
daughter lives here, and as he may be the
nominee, despite his tentative proposal
of govrnment ownership of trunk rail-
roads, unusual efforts are making to have
New Orleans named for the convention.
II Is pointed out that the metropolis of
the south, the gateway to Panama and
eventually to the Orient, is entitled to
special consideration, particularly as its
many years experience In handling i'm
mense carnival crowds naturally fits the
city for easily taking care of tens of thou
sands of visitors.

The United States navy department has
announced that the battleship Louisiana,
the newest and biggest war vessel In the
navy, will come to New Orleans about
December 1 to receive the $4,000 silver
service given by the people of Louisiana,
the value of which equals that to the
battleship New York, heretofore the most
expensive in the navy.
Considerable diversion was created dur

the Mississippi river were too shallow to
admit the Louisiana, which draws 26 feet

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR THE ELECTRIC FRANCHISE AP. FLIED FOR BY THE AFFIRMATION. AL GAS AND LIGHT COMPANY. Election will be held Dec. 18th, 1906.
 1.-Because it will create competi. tion and give the public cheaper lights and cheaper power.
 2.-Recause your lamp renewals will be free. Bring in your old burned out lamps and new ones will be given you in exchange, free of charge.
 3.-Because the company will give the city 225 kilowatts per month free of charge for the lighting of its pub lie buildings.
 4.-Because the street lighting rates will be materially reduced, and the public will be generally benefited thereby.
 5.-Because the franchise asked for is not an exclusive franchise and any body else wanting to go into the cleo tric business can secure another fran ehise regardless of this one. All the company asks from the public Is the right to do business, to operate and maintain first-elass electric system. We are ready to meet all competition and to give the public first-class ser vice at a reasonable rate.
