New Principle in Structural Work
A new principle in engineering prac-
tice is described by the Scientific Ameri-
can in the case of lookout tower built
by Alexander Graham Bell, IN which the
structure Is composed of tetrahedrons.
and is said to be the first iron structure
built on this principle. Each tetrahedral
cell. which is the unit of construction
is made of one-half inch iron piping. a nd
measures exactly As inches from fin ta
tip. Two hundred and sixty Of tbase
cells were employed in the tower. which
rises 40 feet above the ground. Some of
the advantages claimed for this method
of constr lction are lishtness, grss. Sxr;d-
ny rapidity. and ease of colstruot;N
very little false work being rcoIjrnd

CHAPTER TX

O1AflEh TX.
There was only one thing just now that
troubled O'Rourke. He wanted to get
back to his heiress hunt, and he did not
want to leave Dobroski in his lodgings to
bring there any mad theorists and blood
thirsty dynamiters who might choose to
gather about him. But Dobroski himself
saved him from this dilemma.
you will not think, SIR" he said on
the second morning of his stay, shat
do not value your hospitality. But
/ shall be more free to move If I am
away from you, and shall still, after the
publicity of our joint arrival here, be
able to communicate with you with per-
feet freedom"
ORourke was more than politely re-
Eretful at parting from Dobroski, but
he recognized the wisdom of the pro-
posal, and the old man took lodgings
at a quiet hotel much frequented BY
Continental people who were not of the
conspiring class. This left O'Rourke free
to 60 back and pursue his suit, and he
had written hasty looking note to Dob
roski to say that he was unexpectedlv
called to the Continent, when a serving
maid brought up the card of no lees a
person than his friend Maskelyne.
He hardly knew what to make of the
visit, and could only conjecture that
Maskelyne was here to make some sort
Of appeal or protest, with respect to
Angela. But he stood with a look of
friendly expectancy on his face, and held
the door of his room back with one hand
while he reached out the other in welcome
to his friend.
why, Maskelyne. old fellow. what
brings you in London. Come in. old
chap, come in"
Maskelyne shook hands cordially
enough, but with extreme gravity, a gray
ity unusual even for him.
"Dobroski's staying with you, be-
lieveT he said, Questioningly. "I have
an important message for him. l follow.
ed him to Brussels, but could learn moth
Ing there until found out last night
that you and he had come over together
and that he was actually staying with
you"
HE was, until this morning." said
ORourke. II wanted to show these peo-
pie here that an Irishman isn't afraid
OF sympathizing with him. They were
talking about our getting into holes and
corners at Janenne, and seemed to think
that dare not own the grand old fellow
% London"
Where is he staying now?' Maske-
lyme asked. Il want especially to find
him."
"What?" cried O'Rourke. gayly. sitting
down at his desk to write the address.
