to rest additional weight upon the
foundations of the city, for that is
what the strata is-a foundation.
In the crowded portions of Greater
New York the largest lot is about 200
feet square, that being probably the
biggest plot of precious ground OBJ
tainable in the downtown district Of
Gotham. Placing 4 building 1000
feet high upon this piece of Mother
Earth. the cost would be in the neigh
borhcod Of 100000, 900. 1t would
weigh $4,000 tons, according to esti-
mates which have been furnished the
New York board Of aldermen by some
of the greatest engineering experts in
the world.
The tonnage of the American NAVY
is. about 100000 tons. Hence you
might place two navies the size of the
one possessed by America on top OF
a 2O0-foot plot of ground and the
weight would be the same as that of
a 2O0-foot building. The strain on
the earth's crust is a terrible one,
and in time it is declared the crust
would give way under the fearful pres

which will prevent any such ideas be-
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 1000
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 a mile tall would weigh
1900, 900 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 upon
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. one-mile-high structure

than plain steel, brick and mortar, but
which possesses the same strength, or
perhaps more strength than these con-
ventional articles for constructing sky
scrapers.
That the foundations Of a large city
are elastic after a fashion was proven
by a notable instance which came tt
the attention of the Chicago building
commission and the police a few years
ago. A salvage company was engaged
in tearing down a structure adjacent
to the WOmen's Temple. Suddenly
n morning when most of the debris
from the wrecked structure had been
carted away the occupants of offices
in the Women's Temple felt the edi-
flee sag to the south-in the direction
of the site of the wrecked building.
The entire structure on the south
side wrinkled in spots. Cracks, some
OF them two inches wide, opened, caus-
ing the belief that a disaster was i'm
minent. Such was not the case, how
ever, and when a massive stone edi-
flee was erected on the site of the old
building the Women's Temple resumed
it's natural posture.
Experts who were put to work upon
the incident in the interest of science
determined that the stratum of bedrock,
being elastic, had recoiled from the
strain which the wrecked building put
upon it, therefore causing a movement
of the foundations of the Temple.
When the newly erected buildings
weight vas put upon the site of the
old structure normal conditions were
resumed once more.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1908-09-19

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 a 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 $4,000
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 continuance or
r.w material to lessen the strain.
What is most needed is some sort
IF material which is of less weight

Drips yellow with the mornings dew
The ~brown-eyed Susans pirouette
Upon their tens nodding crew;
The bowl Of night is emptied out,
And rosy nectar rims the glass
The wine of morning, Phoebus kissed,
That spills it's glory through the pass!
And I, n minstrel by the way,
Attune my heart to vagrant breeze,
The murmur Of the waterfall.
The rustic Of the autumn trees!
The brook that purls a silver note
So like her voice in merry mood,
Is striking keys that all the world
May sing a carol, liquid brewed!
And as the song bursts forth In JOY.
The plover adds his piping note;
A meadowlark, upon a reed,
Is flooding music from his throat.
All. as the breeZes die away,
There pillows in. the blackbirds Lutte
An interlude of ecstasy
To charm the mountain, gray and

And when the echo blends with mist
And dies within the western sky,
From off the ribboned-river's breast.
Is heard the fishers raucous cry
The note of discord. tocsin hurled,
That wakes the world to thoughts OF

To struggles in the moiling mart,
To vultures and their bleeding prey!
And as the sun mounts up the east,
The dew distills it's glowing gems,
The dust of travel clouds the gold
And grimes the daisies diadems!

Who never know the peace and good

And Sol. the money king, is here

Dear Sir
l am returning your bill for gas
last month, presuming that you have
made a mistake and sent me a debit
for the entire works, keeping the bill
that should have come to me, as an in
voice of property on hand. l have no
use for a gas factory, as my mother
in-law is a working model at u house
and the supply, if inlammable, would
be greater than the demand.
My wife was away on a vacation all
last month, l lived at the club and yet
you send me a bill for $3.50 for gas!
What do you think l am, anyhow? A
mother lode?
Last fall l spent 1851 for burglar
alarms-and then let you put that
meter in the heart of my happy home.
If it cost $3.50 a month when your
is standing still, what will it
cost when it canters? And when my
guests decanter?
At this rate, l figured last night,
my annual salary will last 241 kilO-
wat hours. A snow ball in the oven
of Gehenna is a tortoise beside your
meter. What are you
doing with your money, anyhow? Buy
ing a buzz wagon?

Now, you come down to my house
and touch me for that diabolical meter
and leave me alone in peace forever.
We don't want gas at our house!
What we want is a steam yacht, an

We cannot afford gas, and no sane
