THE WATERMELON.

Not What 1t Used to Be, at Least In
the Eating Thereof.
In the old days. when the world was
much better than it is now, there were
good watermelons-
AS we remember them. the water
melons of twenty-five or thirty or thir-
ty-fve years ago were huge affairs.
They were none Of your overgrown
cucumber effects of today, but were
great big round fellows. and the out
side was a dark green. 1t was the
same shade Of green as the reflection
Of the trees in swimming hole.
And when you sunk the knife into 1t
the rind ripped and cracked for two
inches ahead of the blade. and the
melon just laughed itself open.
Hold on! You didn't use knife
You lifted the melon above your head
and dropped it to the ground. and II
burst open, as red as rose and
hundred times as sweet. And you ate
nothing but the heart-just the chunky
red heart.
Nowadays the marketman shows yol
an oblong affair done In pale greer
and greenery-yallery stripes, with {
white blotch on the underside, that hi
calls a watermelon. And you cut i
into slices like bologna sausage ant
eat 1t with fork. like pie.
And you have forgotten whether {
watermelon goes plink-plink or PUNK
PUNK when it Is ripe, because

The Metal Of tho Standards That Arc
In Use Today.

III O66 way
There are no products of human skill
on which a greater degree of care Is
expended than the standards Of weight
and measure In use among the civil
lied nations Of the globe. Two things
in particular have to be considered.
accuracy and durability. Nature does
not furnish any single metal or MIN
eral which exactly answers tho re-
ouirements for standard OF measure
or weight that shall be as nearly as
possible unalterable-
The best substance yet produced for
this purpose is an alloy Of 90 per cent
of platinum with 10 per cent of 1ridi-
UNI. This is called iridio platinum and
is the substance OF which the metric
standards prepared by the information
al committee on weights and measures
is conposed. 1t is hard. Is less affected
by heat than any pure metal, Is prac-
ticaily nonoxidIzable and can be finely
engraved. In fact, the lines on the
STANDARD meters are hardly visible to
the mixed eye, yet they are smooth,
sharp and accurate
If our civilization should ever be lost
and relics Of it should be discovered in
some brighter age In the remote future
there Is nothing that would bear high
er testimony to its character than these
standard measures of iridio platinum
for the protection and preservation OF
which the science of this day has done
its very best-St Louis Republic.

scrapers.
That the foundations 0t large city
are elastic after fashion was proven
by notable instance which came to
the attention of the Chicago building
commission and the police few years
ago. A salvage company was engaged
in tearing down a structure adjacent
to the Women's Temple. Suddenly
one 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 Inn
minent. Such was not the case, how.
ever, and when a massive stone edi.
fee was erected on the site of the old
building the Women's Temple resumed
Its 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 1t, therefore causing a movement
OF the foundations OF the Temple.
When the newly erected buildings
weight was put upon the site of the
old structure normal conditions were
resumed once more.

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 a building 1000
feet high upon this piece OF Mother
Earth, the cost would be in the neigh
borhood OF s6O,OOO.OOO. 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 250,0O0 tons. Hence you
might place two navies the size Of the
one possessed by America on top OF
a 20O-foot plot Of ground and the
weight would be the same as that of
a 20O-foot building. The strain on
the earth's crust is a terrible one,
and in time 1t is declared the crust
would give way under the fearful pres

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 contrivance or
new material to lessen the strain.
What is most needed is some sort
OF material which is of less weight
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1908-09-26

which viii prevent any such ideas be-
ing made of practical use. Desire for
their own safety caused Gotham city
fathers to squelch the plan and 1t is
considered probable that the tallest
building which New York viii 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 edifce Of 1900 feet possesses
weight OF $4,000 tons. and therefore
a structure a mile tall would weigh
1900 600 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 1t to stand in
the firstconceiyed position without
shifting. Therefore the reasons for
pot having q one.mile-high structure

History gives us no other instance
