dence in both the Negroes ability and
his integrity as an individual, but
there is a woeful lack Of confidence
among Negroes themselves in the Ne
gro's ability and his integrity collect
lively. The Negroes have confidence
in his religious ability collectively.
hence he does not dispute his ability
or his integrity to run church. The
Negroes have the same confidence III
both the ability and integrity OF the
Negro in managing benevolent insti-
tutions collectively
The Negro is beginning to have con-
fidence in themselves to manage
business institutions individually; but
the white institutions or business men
are so unacquainted with the Negro
ability, either individually or collect
lively, that they as yet have hardly
learned to trust the Negro except 10
very menial positions as individuals,
and they have never dared to trust
him at all collectively.
It must be understood, gentlemen
and ladies', that banking is the high,
est most honorable and Dairstaking
business of higher civilization. It y
only the higher civilized people or ma
tions that enter upon this higher ilnan'
cial business pursuit, and banking
more than any other business requires
the strictest confidence and the mOat
devoted integrity It requires both
individual and collective confidence.
It requires confidence in both the In
tegTity and the ability, especially II
the directors in general and the otfi'
GERS in particular.
We must first find men and women
with money, and those found, must
have confidence in the collective abil-
ity and integrity Of the directors to
select officers. to finance and manage
the institution, before they will in
vest their money and take stock n
the institution. But when these stock
holders are found, the directors
chosen, these officers selected and thii
stock sold, certificates issued, money
collected say whom this is done, i
is only the beginning, for then comes

WHERE WATER RUNS HIGH.
Costly Construction of an Exposed
Lighthouse.

The new lighthouse recently completed
on the Fastnet rock, a small pinnacle off
the southeast corner of the coast of Ire
land, is not only the latest example of
lighthouse construction on a wave-w wash
ed rock. but the most expensive tower
ever erected. having cost no less than
has been built by the Irish lights board
and is one Of the most important beacons
on the coasts. The rock lies in the direct
route for Atlantic shipping passing the
south of Ireland, and is thus a danger
which it is of the utmost Importance to
light adequately.
The plans for the lighthouse were
drawn up and the work put in hand by
William Douglass, engineer to the Irish
lights board. He was forced, however
to retire through Ill health before 1t was
completed when his first lieutenant. c.
w. Scott. took over the entire RESPONSE
biity and finished the undertaking.
The new lighthouse displaces the old cast
iron tower This latter was ninety-one
feet high. and stood on the summit of the
rock. 1t was not long. however. before it
was discovered that the cast iron tower
was not stable enough to withstand the
severe buffetings Of the waves to which
the rock is subjected. The Fastnet is ex-
posed to the full fury of the Atlantic dur

A Wonderful Clock.


Far out on the prairie In the southwest
ern part of Chicago, hidden by rude
boarding OF a frame house. stands a clock
so intricate that 1t ranks among the most
remarkable achievements Of the clock
makers art in America. 1t is one of the
most accomplished clocks in the world-a
lineal descendant of the famous old-world
clock of the fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles. 1t is bit of medieval romanti-
cism, survival of the days when the
workman created for the love of his
creature and not merely for the practical
value of the object which he made.
Thousands of travellers have made a
pilgrimage to see the famous clock of
Strassburg. which. set in commanding
position and beautifully decorated. rep
resents the passage of time in minutes,
hours. seconds. months. days. weeks and
years. and has wonderful automatic. who
bow and open doors. and bells that ring
and a cock that crows.
The story of this remarkable clock
makes interesting reading, and the author
has given a good feature of the busy old
clockmakers' devotion of the strange life
work. Excellent photographs of the clock,
inside and out. accompany the text.

AS TO SUBBASEMENTS.
Modern Structures Have Stories Be.
low Ground

One Of the most pronounced features
of modern buildings. says the Record
and Guide. is the way in which they are
going down into the ground DIS we'll as
up into the air. Already buildings with
four stories below the street level are
in course OF construction in several
cities. The development of subways
during recent years is doubtless re-
sponsible for this new departure. 1t
may be that the sad experience of the
ancient builders who had the contract
for erecting the Tower of Babel had
something to do with this new idea.
The advantages of this subbasement
plan in construction are just now being
demonstrated in Chicago. In that city
the Illinois Tunnel Company operates a
system of underground freight lines.
This new arrangement allows them to
receive and deliver freight and supplies
direct from the cars, thus a. Oiding
street teaming. One of the direct re-
suits Of a complete development OF this
plan will be the entire disappearance of
teaming from streets within range of
the tunnel. This fact of itself should
be sufficient to recommend the idea.
AS is well known. the foundations for
modern skyscraper must be sunk to
