BUILDING RECORDS ARE NOW BROKEN.
New Atlantic City Hotel of Terra Gotta and Concrete Going Up in
Sections at the Rate of Story Week.

Atlantic City, n. j., Dec. IA uni
que building record is being made in
the erection of the new Hotel Tray
more. The contractors are putting up
a nine-story fire proof structure in
phenomenally short time, without In
terfering with the business of the
present hotel, which still occupies
one-half of the site for the new build
ing, and with so little noise that its
guests are not disturbed.
This feat is being accomplished by
the use of reinforced concrete and
hollow tile, and by dividing the build
ing into two sections. The first Sec
ton is now going up next to the pres
ent hotel. AS soon as this section is
finished the guests will be transferr-
ed from the original hotel. which
will then be torn down and the Sec
ond section erected on its site.

Progress on the work has been UNI
usually rapid. Pile driving was begun
on September 18th, and since then
the structural work has been pushed
ahead SO vigorously by day and night
gangs that the structure has risen at
the rate of one complete story in six
working days. Half the construction
force are carpenters for making the
concrete beams and columns. The
floors are made with alternate sec
lions OF burnt tile and concrete. Ex-
perts are greatly in favor of this COM
bination of reinforced concrete and,
hollow tile. The concrete allows great
rapidity of construction, economy,
and avoidance OF noise. and the hol-.
low tile ensures that the structure
will be as nearly unburnable as it. Is
possible to make it, the tile floors and
partitions serving as barriers to pre-
vent the spread of flames and smoke.

MAKING SHOES.
An Industry That Illustrates the
Spirit of Specialization.

An Industry That illustrates the
Spirit of Specialization.
No other industry displays SO forcibly
the modern spirit of specialization and
organization as the shoe business. The
last sixty years have witnessed cast
ing loose from former methods. with
the evolution of marvellous labor saving
machinery and the perfection of thor
cughly organized business systems.
Thus the reader may experience a
shock Of surprise in learning that that
crude and primitive article, the shoe
peg. is still in use. Peg mills are scat
tered throughout the hardwood belt of
the northeastern United States. Three
small mills in northern New Hamp-
shire annually convert some $500 cords
of birch wood into 10000 bushels of
pegs.
The white and yellow birch, the only
species used is delivered at the mills
in cord wood form. The sticks are
peeled of their bark and then sawed
transversely into sections of a thick
ness equal to the length of the pegs

Cipher Price Marks.

1.-The cipher price mark, the tag not
marked 1.75 but 'P17CDG.' is getting
to be a thing of the past" said a jew
eler. The public mistrusts IT. There is
nothing that wins the confidence of the
public like a price mark in big, plain
figures Most cipher price marks are
easily read. They have for their key,
as rule, the sentence 4 push trade.
The L is /, the p 2. the ~ 3, and
SO on down TO the e. which stands

that give long credit. for such firms

But they are very unpopular things.
They arouse universal mistrust.''-

son of the wrecked Aetna bank of

many. depositors had not known of his
withdrawal, although it was widely

confidence in his reputation many of
his friends may have lost their money,
Mr. Heinze says in his letter to Mr..
Wilson he contributes 100000 toward
the bank s assets and forwards check
