part of their fellow toiIers The dan- ger of being struck by falling tool or bolt or rivet dropped from above is ever before the housesmith. As many lives are lost and as many injuries sustained in this manner on the big buildings as in falls, and the work man to whom an accident of this sort can be definitely traced is generally discharged at once. Of course the men on the very top of the skyscrap- CTS in course of erection are not sub ject to this peril, but upon them is imposed the burden of seeing that they do not drop anything upon the toilers on the floors below
 As a rule the workers on high buildings, knowing full we'll the risk they run constantly of death by fall ing, prefer to work alone rather than close together in gangs. They are in- dependent and self dependent, and despite their perilous calling have as keen a love of life as their more for tunate toilers in other fields. They prefer, therefore, net to be in a posi- tion to be grasped by an unfortunate workman who has lost his footing and in his descent reaches out instinctive- ly at whatever is nearest to him. At best their foothold is precarious, and they know it, but an outsider, watch ing them work with seeming indiffer- ence to that fact. would never guess the tension to which their nerves are subjected The ordinary attitude of the ironworker, perched on beam hundreds of feet above Mother Earth or treading the ground, is self con- tained and quiet. He has accustomed himself to the idea of falling or sec ing his coworker fall and he is, if such thing be humanly possible, re- signed to his possible fate. It is safe

Not every man is fitted by nature
 to assist in the erection of a modern
 twenty or thirty story office building
 When man is called upon to mount
 two or three hundred feet on slight
 rurged ladders walk twelve or four
 teen feet on a. steel beam fourteen
 inches wide, with nothing below him
 but bare skeleton of walls and floors
 or perchance nothing but the empty
 air, and then handle redhot rivets and
 bolts with heavy tongs or wrenches
 or hammers, his nerve must be of Al
 quality. He must be absolutely inn
 mune from the dizziness akin to sea-
 sickness that affects many persons at
 high altitude, and he must be free
 from the longing to jump from high
 places that has long been familiar.
 Other qualifications, such as skill, strength and experience, as well as
 perfect health, he must possess, but steadiness 'of nerve is absolutely es- sential to the bridge builder CT house. smith.
 Many of the workers on the high city buildings are born to the business, and the majority of them are Ameri- cans. The foreign workman prefers, as a rule, to stick to the ground. It is curious commentary on American life that the dangers of the work seem to add to its attractiveness in the eyes of the native toilers. The spirit that possesses them is not foolhardiness, for
 they very seldom, if ever, boast of the dangers which they run. It is simply a feeling that the work to which they
 are set must be, done despite it's peril,
 and they go to. it with something of the spirit of fatalism. All of them could tell tales of hairbreadth escapes
