OF the many forms which rheumatism

cognixed as a disease of the blood. DR..

Bourne office building adjoining it on
Liberty street.
Only the Eiffel Tower, of all struc-
lures reared by ingenious men, rises
20 greater height than will this forty
one-story building. But the openwork
Eiffel Tower is an engineering freak,
while the New York sky-scraper will
be the business home of a multitude of
people.
In the very block on Broadway
where the workmen are beginning to
rear this colossus, another equally Won
derful Office building is to rise, more
roomy even than its companion. In the
Singer building alone, an army of 100,-
600 men could find easy standing room
on its nine and one-half acres of floor
space.
The drawing reproduced herewith
from the architects working plans and
designs does not convey, at first glance,
an idea Of the ambitious scale on which
New York's sky-scraper "limit" Is
being erected. But everybody familiar
with the downtown district of New
York will recognize in the foreground,
on the corner of Broadway and Liberty
street, the old Benedict building. This
is six stories high. Fifty years ago 1t
was one Of the tallest and finest build
ings in New York.
1t is only by comparing the Benedict
building with the forty -one-story Sing
er and Bourne structures now rising
skyward behind it that the immense
height and capacity of the latter can
be even family realized Trinity
church is completely dwarfed, and so,
indeed, are most of the famous Office
buildings along Broadway, which were
once referred to as sky-scrapers, but
which are now beginning to present a
very shrunken appearance when COM
pared with their lofty neighbors.
Within less than year the aspect
of Broadway, from Cortlandt street
down to Trinity church, will be totally
changed, and the finest street vista in
the world will be seen. The greatest
buildings in the world will by that time
be grouped on these four blocks, tower
ing far above everything else in the
city.
The necessity for such buildings In
New York, or the deslrablity, Is indi-
Gated by the fact that the Bourne
Singer building, If one-story, would coy
er twenty-nine of the city blocks sur
rounding it. These blocks, or most of
them, are not large, however. Still, If
one of the modern buildings requires
such enormous space if built low, the
excuse for extreme height in a city
where the sky-scraper district is limit
ed, as in New York, becomes apparent.
The sky-scraper is unknown In Eu-
rope, and, furthermore, is undesired.
In Berlin no building may be more
than one-half again as high as the
street on which 1t Is located is wide.
About the same standard, subject to
various minor notifications, prevails
in the other large European cities. Few
buildings in London or Paris are more
than six or seven stories high Farther
east in Europe the standard is even
lower.
