workmen heats these rivets to a white
heat in a forge on platform. When
It is heated he shouts to the riveting
crew and Selling the hot rivet in a
pair of tongs sends it HURTING through
the air all the way from ten to forty
feet. One of the riveting crew catches
it in a bucket. To catch a white hot
rivet is not exactly like catching a
baseball. If the catcher misses it
means a severe burn for someone.
The method of construction makes
it practically impossible for the build
ing to be torn loose. Even the window
cases are to be of steel and the en-
tire affair is fireproof. There is a con-
tinuous anchorage from the concrete
piers, which go seven feet below
grade, to the spring line of the lower
cord of roof trusses. The anchorages
are IA feet apart on either side Of the
building. The rear of the building is
anchored similarly.
On either side of the front is high
tower which carries the doors. These
towers are 81 feet high. The total
weight of the building is 325 tons.
There are three parts to the building
the central part, which is to hold big
balloons. which have already arrived
ct the fort. and shed on each side
for storage purposes.
The hydrogen gas house is at the
right of the balloon house and will
be ready for work In Septem-
Der, when the experiments with the
balloons will really begin. There will
be at least two balloons, dirigible
and a spherical captive balloon. The
government intends to spend any

BIG BALLOON HOUSE
BEING BUILT ENTIRELY OF
STEEL AT FIT. OMAHA, NE6.
Government to Carry on Experiments
in Aerial Navigation-First Struc-
ture Of Its Kind Ever
Erected in Country.

Omaha, Neb.-This city has the first
steel balloon house ever erected. 1t
is being built by the United States
government in order that balloon ex-
periments may be carried on extern
sively at Fort Omaha, which is strict
ly signal station.
This monster building Is going to
cost the government $4,000. 1t is
erected by Minneapolis company,
and as it is the first steel balloon
house ever built, is something in the
nature of an experiment, there being
absolutely no precedent to follow.
1t is entirely of steel. Not an atom
Of wood is in the building. Even the
window castings are of steel. There
are nearly 900 tons of steel in this
monster balloon house, which is zoo
feet long, 80 feet wide and rs feet
high. Being altogether a new style
of architecture and the first of the
kind ever erected, it is something of
a responsibility.
II is what is known as the Church
truss" building, having an angular top
with circular lower cord. From the
spring line of the lower cord to the
ridge of the truss is 81 feet. One. of
the special features of the balloon
house is the size of the doors. There
is but one entrance, facing the north.
The doors to the entrance are NAM
moth affairs, being rs feet high and
weighing IA tons. Yet so delicately
balanced are they that one man can
move them. They are to be opened
and shut by means of a lever, which
can be operated by one hand. These
doors follow the truss slides in shape.
The steel was brought to the fort
in sections, held together by $4,000
steelrivets. The skeleton of the building
is to be covered with sheets of CORFU
gated iron, which have a new mode of
fastening. The usual method is that
of purlin nails; but the Omaha build
ing is put together by means of 120,-
600 Norway iron rivets.
The men who catch the rivets have
a hazardous job. Far aloft one of the

A PURE FOOD FARM
STARTED AT GREELEY
Especial to The sentinel.)

Especial to The Sentinel.)
Greeley, Colo, Feb. 21.-A pure
food farm has been launched here
by G. B. Stannard, young gradu-
ate of the State Agricultural College
Stannard has bought so acres of
land l mile west.of the city. and has
installed considerable machinery for
the manufacture of food products
under the most sanitary conditions.
He will sell nothing in bulk. All
the products will receive his own
duce them to the lowest possible
bulk and protect them from contain
ination.
Stannard, for starter, is grind
ing up a large drove of hogs, espe-
cially grown and fattened, into sau-
sage. The peculiar feature of this
Is that he uses all of the good meat
discarding only the fat. which Is
made into lard. The killing of the
hogs is done under the supervision of
DR.. George Glover, head of the vet
erinary department of the Agricul-
tural College. The animals have
been fed nothing but alfalfa, grain
and clean water.
The sausage Is put up in sanitary
pound packages, and sold to the fan
cy trade at some advance in price
over the ordinary kind. Stannard is
betting that the public will take
kindly to his theories in the pure
food line.
Other products of the soil will be
handled in the same elaborate man
ner. Not alone are the farmers
watching the experiment from
monetary point of view, but the Ag-
cultural College people are consid-
erably interested, as it may eventu-
ally mean a revolution in the method
of marketing farm products
Stannard has had the offer OF cap
ital to go into his scheme upon a
large scale; but he prefers to work
moderately until he has solved some
of the mechanical and scientific prob
lens.
