NIGHT SYeats 6 Couch.

E. W. Walton, Condr. S. T. Ry., III
Van Ness St., San Antonio, Tex,
writes: During the summer and fall
Of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh
reached that stage where it was actual
misery and developed alarming symp-
toms, such as very deep-seated cough,
night sweats, and pains in the head and
chest. I experimental with several So
called remedies before finally decided
to take thorough course of Peruna.
"Twoof my friends had gone so far as
to inform me that the thing for me to do
was 30 resign my position and seek
higher, more congenial climate. Every
one thought 1 had consumption and 1
was not expected to live very long.
"Haying procured some Peruna, de-
cided to give it a thorough test and ap-
piled myself assiduously to the task Of
taking it, as per instructions, in the
meantime.
"The effects were soon apparent, all
alarming symptoms disappeared and
MY general health became fully as good
as it had ever been in my life.
II have resOrted to the use of Peruna
on two or three occasions since that
time to cure myself of bad colds"
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1908-09-18

sure. For that reason the aldermen
clamped the ban on buildings a mile
high.
Then the wind pressure upon large
buildings must be taken into consider
alton by the corps Of experts engaged
in operations in New York.
On building 1000 feet high the
wind pressure on each wall Is 5000
tons, which on four walls adds $4,000
tons, and including the roof pressure
there is 10000 tons added weight,
which increases the total number of
tons on the whole structure to SAG 900
tons. This is an enormous weight,
and far out Of the conception of the
ordinary human mind which does not
have to deal with such monstrous pro.
positions.
The monstrosity of the entire propo-
sition is made almost impossible by
the physical limitations of the earth,
strata and general texture of the coun.
try in the neighborhood of New York.
For that reason experts have figured
by complicated processes that the big
gest building which New York will
construct in the future will not be
over 1000 feet in height.
The work of devising engineering
schemes which will lessen the fearful
weight exerted upon the earth's crust
is now the object of the biggest work
ers In this line, and millions of dollars
would be paid the man or firm that
could bring forth some contrivance or
new material to lessen the strain.
What is most needed is some sort
OF material which is Of less weight

Ing made of practical use. Desire for
their own safety caused Gotham city
fathers to squelch the plan and it is
considered probable that the tallest
building which New York will ever
see will not be more than 1000 feet in
height, and perhaps a limit of 600
feet may be put upon the height of
these gigantic monuments to modern
industry.
When you stop to consider the whole
proposition the truth begins to dawn
An edifice of 1000 feet possesses
weight of $4,000 tons, and therefore
a structure mile tall would weigh
100000 tons, and under this terrible
strain Manhattan would collapse
scientists tell us.
There have been no architectural
plans which will so shift the weight
OF any building that the strain unon
the strata when erected to the height
OF one mile will allow it to stand in
the first-conceived position without
shifting. Therefore the reasons for
not having a oue-mile-high structure
