ON THE SKYSCRAPER
STRENUOUS LIFE IS THAT OF
THE IRoNWeRKER.
Well Styled "cowboys Of the Skies"
the Men Who Erect city's Tall
Buildings Always Have the
Crowds.

In the past they were a boisterous,
swashbucking lot. They "fioated from
New Orleans to Vancouver, lived in
freight cars. built bridges and dropped
off Of them with grin and a choking
'good-by." A hero among them was
a man who had the longest fall to his
credit, or who could toss a whfte-hot
rivet the greatest distance. They lived
hard and died easily. Today they
know that a man stands highest on
the pay rob- who takes his work and
its danger most seriously, who also
watches the man next to him-for in
this calling one mans error often
means another's life, Harper's Week
ly says.
Even so the bridgeworker of today
has not lost his romantic side He is
still the cavalier of the woCkaday
( world. See him now, clinging like
! fly to the top ring Of that lofty derrick,
or swaying in midair with one leg
wound carelessly about a dangling
cable. or standing upright alongside a
dizzy column, hundreds of feet@above

stantial under his clinging toe than

they have been styled, and aptly so.
| They have many characteristics in
common with their brethren of the
plains. They love a dare and a scam
pering race. Often they make and
have them-when the boss is not
watching. Just recently two sky
scrapers in New York raced up side
by side-a veritable Marathon Of the
skies!-and prodigies of daring and
foolhardiness were done by the rival
gangs facing each other across the in
tervening side-street. They stole each
/ others hats and wrenches as they
sailed up atop the loads of iron, danced
giddy hornpipes on the ends of pro
jecting beams, tried to best each
other taking chances amid the pande

TEN SOLDIERS
KILLED BY GUN
EXPLOSION OF BIG COAST AR
TILLERY PIECE AT FORT
RE5S MONROE. VA.

Norfolk, Va, July 21.-Ten mem
oers Of the coast artillery corps were
Gilled today and two probably fatally
injured. Lieutenant Van Dusen suf-
cred broken leg, and three others
are hurt by a premature explosion Of
a twelve-inch gun in the battle prac-
Ice at Fortress Monroe. Van Dusen
Is said to be the only commissioned
officer hurt. The men were just
completing a course in the artillery
'chOol. Major Gen. w. II. Carter. as
sistant chief of staff, was present
and reported to the war department.
A score of high ranking officers were
at the fort at the time of the explos-
lon, including General Bailey, assist
ant chief of the coast artillery corps.
They we're not near the battery. The
explosion was similar to many pre-
seding ones in the army and navy. 1t
Is possible the pin was not drawn
when the breach lock was showed
INTO the gun, thus not screwing the
block securely. Van Dusen is from
Passnic, n. j.. and served as second
lieutenant of infantry. He was ap-
pointed TO the artillery corps in
May.
Battery de Rushey, the scene of
the explosion, is in the center of the
fort. Il contains three 12-inch guns
with 20 men at each gun. General
Carter will investigate.

Rawn Chicago. - ell
Winnetoka authorities notified the
