expense of its operation would be
lessened and it would be possible to bring
into the market the upper floors. which
are now of little use in the average
building unless one business is of SUI
fcient size to occupy the whole structure.
But here the demand is very largely for
space for establishments that are not in
the class of what is known as large
businesses 1t is possible to pay a fair
rental for the first floor but there is no
need for additional space. and so the
owner must depend on securing another
tenant The uses for second floor for
a separate and distinct line of business are
naturally still more limited than those
for a first floor. and the same thing may
be said of a third floor. but in a de-
creasing ratio of demand.
To Use the Upper Floors.
Where the building is Of a size so as
to have available all the floors. then it
may be said to be in a good income
paying condition. To bring this about.
and at the same time meet modern con-
ditions it is claimed by some observers
that the small individual holdings now

Ancient japanese Iron Making.
From the Engineering Magazine.

The japanese were acquainted with iron
from very early times. A sword that was
used by one Of the ancestors o. the pres
emf emperor about 500 B. c. is still in
existence. Later. when the great civil
war broke out in the sixth century. sword
smiths and armor smiths came TO occupy
a prominent place. Many interesting SO.
res are connected with sword smiths. al
though this is no place TO go into these.
From this time on down to about three
hundred years ago. no noticeable progress
had baen made. At the beginning of the
seventeenth century. when the Tokugawa
litical power and Ieace was restored. all
branches of industry began to prosper.
The demand for iron implements increased
and the scarcity o. iron supply began to
be felt.
