Building Wrcken

Perhaps no band of men In the world
suffered such constant injuries, If not
death, as the corps Of building wreck
ers to be found In every large city.
They visit a building which has been
gutted by fire, the tuttertng walls of
which are stn standing and which ac-
cordingfy are q menace to pedestrians.
It Is the business Of these wreckers to
pun the walls down, and a half hour
spent watching them at this work
brings the quick thrill as nothing else
In our humdrum urban civilization can.
They swarm over the swayng walls
with reckless impunity, fastening ropes
here and there, preparing for the long
and strong pull Frequently the walls
go in simply because Of the weight Of
the men at work upon them The bod
les are dug out Of the mass of iron and
brick, and the work goes on as Il moth
ing had happened Technical World
