GOOD BUILDING.
Great Difficulty in Taking Down the
Palace Hotel.

Difficulty which the wreckers are having
in razing the Palace Hotel in San Fran
cisco does not bear out the reports which
were circulated SO freely concerning in
ferior construction in that city. Most peo-
pie who have travelled know the Palace
Hotel. 1t was seven stories high, 30Ox225
feet, and was built in 1870. The brick were
laid in mortar composed of lime and ce-
ment with strips Of Norway iron and steel
cables at frequent intervals.
The mortar is too hard to be scattered
by the cleaning machines. The supports
include 100 pillars weighing seven tons each.
The walls are first dynamited and then
one-half-inch steel cables-equivalent to the
strength of 10000 men Notwithstanding
this the strips Of wall remain unbroken on
the ground and require picks and sledges
to loosen the bricks. The laborers working
below the surface frequently are compelled
to desst because of fire which Is I'M
covered.
In many places the combination Of wood,
plaster and mortar has formed a sort of
charcoal which, secluded from air by piles
of debris, has been smolderng ever since
the fire on April IS. Boiling water or steam
often is found in these places Sand seems
to pulse and throb at the head and the
crowds of laborerS are constantly on the
alert to avoid being burned scalded.
There are 10000, 600 brick in the building
and the debris will fill $4,000 wagons. The
contractor is receiving $4,000 for wrecking
the building, and the value of the salvage
is estimated at $4,000.

Lynch Law for "Apaches."
Paris Cor. London Standard.


"Apaches," or hooligans, of Paris are al
ways with us, and the new year shows
them flourishing, but at last their activi-
ties have SO moved the public that the
latter have reused themselves to action
In the newspaper columns where the his
tory of the Paris hooligan Is written, one
reads of six violent assaults recently, three
by men armed with knives, two by men
unarmed, and the sixth by men armed
with revolvers. The condition of two Of
the victims is very grave.
But in this there Is nothing unusual
Beneath these reports is the story of how
three "Apaches'' were 'lynche' by the
crowd. "Lynche" is the French for
lynched, but both the word and its mean
ing lose something in translation. No
"Apaches'" were burned at the stake or
riddled with bullets; all three live to tell
the tale. One was surprised as he was at
tempting to break into house about mid
day. The occupant of the house fright
ened him, and he ran. But he was chased
and there was hue and cry IN the whole
neighbOrhood for some time before he was
caught He felt few kicks and blows,
but probably not all that were given, and
was then led to the police station whimper-
ing like a whipped cur. bicycle thief
was bundled into the same police station
in much the same bodily state a few min
utes afterward His clothes were torn, and
his face was streaming with blood, but
the crowd did not think it a case for
leniency. In another quarter, quite near
the Grands Boulevards, a third Apache"
was handed over to the police in similar
way. He had attempted to stab a police
man who had arrested his companion.

What They Wore.

From the Kansas City Journal
After disposing of the young men who
attended a social function by ~remarking
that they wore 1.-The customary sober
black a society editor of a weekly paper
in Indian Territory deals individually with
the feminine gender as follows:
Miss Lyman Davis. in white silk and
duchess lace, seemed the incarnation of the
snow queen.
Miss Pearl Hayes. in delicious confec-
ton in two shades of lilac brought to us a
vision of when the spring is young and the
air is freighted with the breath of those
fragrant blossoms.
Miss Jennings. in silvery pink, resembled
nothing so much as one of her OWE La
France roses.
Miss Ivey Of Sallisaw wore a gown of
palest heliotrope. with conventional garni-
ture of black velvet ribbon and pearl en-
broidered lace.
Mrs. Perry, in white organdy, spangled
with pink roses. recalled May time, when
all the world seems strewn with roses.
Miss Robertson, in white organdy over
an under gown of yellow, made one think
Of little f1eecy clouds above golden sunset.
Miss Tennie Smith, in yellow and white,
looked for all the world like brave little
buttercup caught out in late snow.
Miss Winnie Perry. in blue, with an over
dress of white, called up memories of
June afternoon when the soft clouds float
through the azure sky. tempering the bril-
liancy of the sun.

is sunlight reflected from great swarm Of
rhetoric particles which surround the sun
in lens-shaped figure, stretching out at
least as far as the orbit of the earth. The
portion below the line A B, Fig. 3, cannot
now be seen in the early evening. This
portion, however, rises before the sun and
may be seen in the early morning. In mid
summer at about midnight the apices of
both pyramids have been seen at once, one
in the west and the other in the east.
The Counter-Glow.
If the cause of the Zodiacal light is not
positively known that of the counter-glow
is far more obscure. This is a faint little
patch of light which may always be seen
in the sky on dark night exactly oppo-
site the sun. During this month it will
move along the ecliptic from the constella-
tons Leo to Virgo 1t is very remarkable
that 1t changes it's form from month TO
month. In January it is small and elon-
gated, in February and March very large
and round, etc, while in June and Decem-
Der 1t has reached the Milky Way and is
rendered invisible by the brightness of
the stars which surround it, Some have
thought it's source is to be looked for in
the shining of millions of little bodies re-

fades away he will see it change to the
deepest red.
These stars are suns, surrounded by
dense metallic vapors. For some cause. as
yet unexplained there is at regular inter-
walls so violent an agitation in the central
sun that it's eruptions of luminous gases
burst through the heavy envelope. Then
the star flashes out with unusual bril-
liancy, only to die slowly away again.
The Zodiacal Light.
This is the best time of the year for OBJ
serving that strange phenomenon known
the Zodiacal light. The night must be
very clear and the moon absent when Just
sky, 1t will be seen as a faint pyramid OF
light whose base rests on the western ho-
rizon where the sun has set and which ex-
tends up along the eciiptic almost to the
Pleiades. Its light is nearly intense
uniform radiance. 1t Is brightest nearest
the sun and fades gradually away as we
approach the blunted apex of the pyramid.
until it becomes too faint to be seen. Pc
culiar flashes resembling the aurora have
been seen In 1t when the air was unusually
clear. Its base Is sometimes of a reddish
color, and sometimes 1t Is SO bright to
efface the fainter stars. though usually the
stars appear to shine through it with I'M
diminished brilliancy.
1t Is not yet surely known what the
cause of this strange light is. 1t is certain
that the light surrounds the sun, because
its base is always at the sun and 1t is car
ried continually eastward as the sun ad-
vances among the stars 1t Is known also
that it shines by reflected sunlight. 1t is,
therefore, believed that the Zodiacal light

UN USUAL FEATURES
PLANS MADE FOR PERRY BEL
MONT RESIDENCE.

In some respects the house which Mr..
Perry Belmont has planned to build in this
city will be quite unlike any private resi-
dence here. 1t will cover quite as much
ground as any in the class of large resi-
dences. and will have the further advan-
tage of standing entirely detached. as it
win occupy the whole of the triangular
piece of ground bounded by New Hamp-
shire avenue. R and 18th streets.
The peculiar feature about 1t will be that
as far as the plan of the interior Is con-
cerned and the architectural effect of the
exterior, the house Is one Of one story. This
latter. which is called the principal story,
rests upon a basis of the walls Of the
ground floor, and Is finished by a cornice
with a balustrade, and behind the latter are
the dormer windows of the attic story.
The interior plan Is in harmony with this
exterior appearance. 1t is all contributory
and secondary to the grandeur and effect
of the principal floor. Although the house
covers over 11.000 square feet of ground,
with frontages of over 200 feet on one street
and something less than that on two other
streets, yet the main story only has four
rooms. The picture gallery Is the center
about which this design revolves, and in
order to provide the proper proportions for
a room of such large size the ceiling Is to
be extended through two stories to the top
dome.
This room will have the entire breadth of
the house from east to west. and will be of
proportionate width. On the one side will
be the staircase of marble, with it's double
flight of steps, and also parlor or drawing
room, while on the other side will be an
other parlor and adjoining the dining room
The latter room will be 30 by 4S feet.
The living rooms of the family are pro-
vided on the story below on what Is called
the ground floor. There are only four sleep
ing rooms on this floor, which are arranged
in suites on each side Of the house with
dressing rooms and bath rooms attached,
while in the central portion is found the
large hall and the library, parler and dining
room.
The domestic departments are found in
the basement, while in the subbasement is
the heating and refrigerating plants and
so forth. An unusual thing to find in
private house is a squash ball court, which
is In the basement or rather which extends
through both the basement and the sub
basement. The attic floor is entirely given
up to rooms for servants. trunk rooms and
SO forth. Altogether including some rooms
to be found in the basement there are
twelve sleeping apartments for servants
provided for in the plan.
The contract for the erection of the house
has been let by the architect, Horace Trum
bauer to Payne and Co. of Philadelphia.
The only other bidders for the work were
D. c. Weeks & Son of New York and New
man & Smith of this city.
