Buildings Intended to Deceive.
From the Wide World Magazine.

A curious variety of freak struc-
lures are ~pretentious "a;.ams'-build-
ings deliberately intended to deceive
the unwary. Dinton castle" near
Aylesbury, is a typical specimen of
these pinchbeck fabrics. At a distance,
and even from the road, it looks like a
medieval stronghold, but at close
quarters the ~largeness of its windows
and the thinness of it's walls betray its
youth. 1t is actually no castle, bu a
mere lodge erected by a former me
of the estate on which it stands.
An Ilford freak" known locally as
the castle" seems to- be of the same
class; but I'M truth it has a much more
Charles Raymond. who, conceiving the
idea of erecting a mausoleum for him

for use as such. Beneath it he pro-

the space.
Akin to sucn manifestations of the
craze for building are structures which
are mute witnesses of the vanity of
human wishes. The most remarkable.
perhaps, of these melancholy memorials
is the chief lion of Cars4ialton. Bent
on building a great mansion, Sir Will
fam Scawen, a wealthy London mer-
chant, first concentrated his attention
on the entrance, and set up a fine gate

sculptures by Catalini, the whole 240
feet in width. Before ne could proceed
any farther, however, he failed in bus

ming of the proposed mansion was also

decades, was valued by experts some
time back at $25, ZOO, and when offered
for sale by auction three or four years

"BLUE SKY" BILL is NOW READY

to every commercial organization in
the state to help in obtaining the
names. Members Of the Realty

forcement of the "Blue Sky" law it.
self The Oregon measure has one
provision not found in the Kansas
law which is considered quite an i'm
provement. This provides for full
publicity in the organization of cor

poration with all facts must be pub
lished in three newspapers, giving
details as to capital stock and other
such matters.
The work Of enforcing the corpora
ton laws of the state now costs
about $1,000 a year and under the
new measure this will be increased to
about $4,000, but the measure will
bring in additional corporation fees
to the amount of about $4,000, which
will mean a large surplus saved to
the taxpayers. And in addition 1t is
estimated that the measure will save
annually to the people of the state at
least $1,000,000, which is now being
spent for worthless bonds and stocks.
The measure is ardently advocated
by Ben 0lcott, secretary of state,
and 500 copies of the measure will
be forwarded to his Office for distri-
