Another modern and unique feature in
the construction OF this building, which
proved of no little interest when the
work was being placed, was the fact
that all the usual iron column supports
and girdeTs for the intermediate and
lighter floor beams were eliminated and
re-enfOrced concrete columns. beams,

TWO MAMMOTH CHIMNEYs.

The electric power plant now being for the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co at Delaware avenue and Laurel street, Philadelphia. Pa. Is larger than any such plant now in operation anywhere in the world. though several monster concerns of the same kind have recently been planned for other places. This plant is designed to furnish ell the energy needed to operate the elevated and subway lines on Market street and will still have abundance of power left for other uses.
 The most interesting feature of these plants Is the immense chim- neys. They are constructed of rein forced concrete. with points in their design which make them very diff ferent from the ordinary brick ehim- ney for similar purposes. While they are spoken of as lI5 feet high. that is only the length of the chimney. The top of tho chimney is really 25i feet above the street level. the bottom os the chimney being about seventy feel above the boiler room hoor. The constructor ls uutuhe ih AhdA tus boilers are beneath the ehiHineys. and the smoke does not enter them through a side fiue. but from the bot tom. which is Is feet inches sboye fhe tops of the boilers.

Old Fort McHenry, which inspired Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner" while British shells were bursting over it and where the Brit ish met defeat, is to be abandoned if the plans of the war department are not held up, says one writer. Orders have been given to vacate the post, which has been in existence since 1794. It seems there is no longer room for it in the economy of the military service, and it must go un- less hand is stretched out to save 1t, as in the case of the war frigate Old Ironsides. Patriotic sentiment ought to be enlisted in behalf of Fort Me Henry, and sentiment should pre- vail. No one will question but the fort has outlived its usefulness, and stronger defenses are needed for Bal timore, But nations best bull warks of defense are not stone and iron merely. There must be patriot ism behind the ramparts and senti- ment behind the patriotism. Such landmarks as this old fort, together with the traditions clustering around its walls, serve to keep alive the spirit of 1776 and 1872. The bat tered guns and bastions are past shooting, but they can talk eloquent. ly and to the point.

That serious famine threatens the interior of Russia is apparent from published in Paris. It is said that the peasants Of many districts are selling their cattle to buy bread, a large proportion sub sisting on the supplies Of soup kitch- ems maintained by the zemstvos. Lit eTal starvation is predicted for large proportion Of the pesSantry in the central districts unless relief shall De prompt and generous And ret Russia ought to feed half the bread buying world. The war in the east naturally fnterfered with agTi- culture. and the internal disturb snees which foIIOxed protraeted ihe evil. In spite of all. the acreage de- voted to vkea; has steadily increased. Russia is the chief competitor of the United states in the wheat markets of Europe. Her wheat area is over 10. s0a. zee acres larger than ours. and in 1909 and IssI the Russian crop exceeded the crop of this eaun- try. In six years sndizs in IssI Russiais wheat crop increased from 4se. soc. see bushels to sss.s9e.s zee bushels. On the other hand. the zv- craze yisld of wheat peS acre in Rus ssa Is the lowest of all wheat prO- srcirg cvanfrse<- In EaFOpezn Errs- sss rsports sho~ that the yisId kzs varied siIkin the last tvsnsy-thrss

years from fve to eleven bushels, of ten falling below eight bushels to the acre. The Russian peasant Is ' backward farmer. Where the fault lies. whether in the system of agri- culture, in the government or in the peasant himself, it is difficult to de- termine. Experts claim that good tillage would double Russia's wheat crop on the present acreage put into wheat. The new land laws will in crease the area of peasant holdings. If by some means the yield per acre could be increased one of the vital problems of the nation would be solved. Hufger and discontent are comrades. but a we'll fed peasantry would be the governments strongest ally in fighting political discontent.

The election has come and gone, and the result is about what was ex- pected by every man who reads and thinks. The democratic party must he thoroughly reorganized and re- before it can win elections. Either that or the republicans will have to divide on state and national issues as they did on candidates in I few of the Connecticut districts. That breach opened ap by the defeat of Bryan ten years ago, has never been closed, even though the democrats who went back on him have made several faint hearted attempts to got back into the party. Only inditfcren, support was given Thaycr by the men who bolted Bryan. and then again the rumor that he was to be punish ed for his indifferent support of the man from Lincoln looks as though it had some foundation. The anti Bryan and Hearst men in the demo. cratic party must get out before thc party will get back to where 1t was in days of Tildcn. Hancock and Cleveland. It Is waste of time en, ergy and money for the democrats td attempt to win a victory in CoREec, ticut under the present cirum stances. However. the country is no; going to the dogs if Tbayer and
 Hearst arc defeated, so let us blIckl, on our armor and help to' make | even better than 1t is. There is wori
 for every one. and where that is to b,
 found. There is hardly any need o any one going hungry.

TO FIGHT OUT EXPRESS CASE.
Railroad Commissioners to Go East to
Hearing.

Railroad Commissioners to Go East to
Hearing.
The members of the state board of
railroad commissioners at their regu
lar monthly meeting at the headquar-
decided that Frank LeCocq, chairman
Of the board, and p j. Rogde. legal
adviser, should represent the board at
hearing to be held next Tuesday in
New York city. in case originating
from an order Of the board, and which
now is pending in the United States
court for South Dakota. The hearing
will be held in the Office of the son OF
Senator Thomas c. Plat, and the tes-
timony taken there will become part
of the record in the case now pending
in the federal court.
The case arises from complaint
filed with the railroad commissioners
by the Aberdeen IS. ID National bank
last July. The complaint asked that
the United States Express company's
office at Aberdeen be required TO eX-
tend it,; hours for receiving shipments
of cash for transportation over its
lines. The railroad commissioners,
after hearing in the case, decided in
favor of the bank and issued an order
requiring the express company to re-
ceive shipments of currency at any
hour during the day
The express company appealed from
the order of the board to the United
States court, where Judge Garland is
sued writ temporarily enioining the
board from enforcing it's order. The
railroad commissioners have no iuris
diction over the acts of the company,
and that the order Of the board was
unreasonable. The commission has
since filed cross bill which asks the
federal court to compel the obedience
of the express company to the order of
the commission. The case, when de.
cided, is expected to establish a pre-
cedent as to the jurisdiction of boards
of railroad commissioners over ex-
press companies, and for this reason
the express company is contesting the
case to the best of its ability in the
courts.
During the meeting of the board a
number Of cases in connection with
the car shortage which existed in
| many parts of the state few weeks
ago We're closed up. No more com.
| plants have been received which indi-
throughout the state now have an am
pie supply OF cars. Not single com.
| plant has been made since the mem
bers Of the board visited the big ter
minal points Immediately after their
last monthly meeting and Investigated
the car shortage.
| No progress has been made in the
effort made by citizens of Springfield
| where the depot of the Milwaukee
company is situated more than mile
| from the business part of the town, to
have the railroad company construct
it's line through town. The matter has
| been dropped, for the present, at least
| and the citizens of the town are now
| concentrating their efforts on an i'm
| provement in the train service. They
are striving to have the present mixed
train service changed to regular pas
senger train service.
AS the result of hearing held at
Fedora, the railroad commissioners
have ordered the Milwaukee Railroad
company to grant Fox & Peterson OF
that place an elevator site on the right
of way Of the company.
