 TO avoid these incOnveniences and expenses the keen Witted contractor was not slow to adopt electric pow CT, Two of the most important ad- vantages in the use of electricity in construction work are the simple manner in which the electrical equip ment can be installed, and the ease with which it can beSre- located when necessary. This latter feature is par ticularly advantageous in the building of structures of great magnitude where the scene of operations is con- stantly changing

AND THE CON
 TRACTOR.

one of the most serious building problems of this age of high build ings is the elevation of the tons and tons of material to where it can be placed in the hands of the builders. Time was when every pound of stone. brick. mortar. lumber. iron work etc. had to be carried mp ladders in hods or raised by hand Winches and pulley buckets When the demand came for higher buildings it was soon demon strated that such primitive methods were out of the question and the steam engine and drum hoist were made to play their part in the build ing game.
 But, while the steam engine-driVen hoist was far more economical than bod carriers, it had it's many disad vantages. Large buildings are nearly always erected in the very heart of the business districts of large cities and the fire risk and smoke nuisance of active steam engines was a serious handicap. The contractors steam plant requires a licensed attendant night and day and there is the inev- itable coal and ash heap and the ever present fire danger.

a campaign. The contest, on their part has now resolved itself into a fight to prevent the nomination of Taft and to this end the newspapers of Frank A. Aunsey, one of the lead ing Roosevelt supporters, have begun to discuss the possibility Of a third party with Roosevelt, Bryan and La FOllettee as the logical leaders. The articles they are printing admit that there is no hope of bringing La Fol lette into such q combination. What eyer the object of giving publicity to such q confession of weakness in the Roosevelt camp may have been, the suggestion has met with repuffs from all of the leaders of the republican party who readily recall the fact that it was only three years ago republic cans were predicting a similar fate for the democratic party.
 Another suggestion. in line with the slogan, Anything to beat Taft" is the allegation that Justice Charles F. Hughes of the supreme court will be drafted by the Chicago convention and supported by New York and Pennsylvania This story was started in Kansas by Roosevelt men. The fact is that Justice Hughes will no, accept the nomination even if tend- cred to him. At the same time his friends and the sane republican lead CTS see in the suggestion a more dangerous viola,ion of principle than is contained in the proposal to recall judges, for the reason that if the supreme court could be invaded to ind candidates for political prefer ment. it is an invitation lo the judges of the entire country to play politics on the bench in the hope that they

HOW OUR ROMAN TYPE CAME
 TO US"

Our earliest Latin Bibles. together with many legal and medical works. are uncial manuscripts beautiful hand. it nevertheless took too much time and too much parchment. So d small-letter hand was developed be side it, largely cursive. but with the letters separate. This is called the semi -uncial It was of great impor- tance in the evolution of our Roman type Not only that. but It was the fashionable hand in southern Italy when Pope Gregory sent Augustine to Kent to convert the angel Angles. and Augustine's monks perpetuated It on British soil. There it speedily be came a well-marked and handsome style of writing, yariOusly known as the Insular, Anglo Saxon, or Irish. King Alfred, Bede Caedmon. all the other founders of our literature, wrote like this; the superb Bibles, treasures of Dublin, Durham, Lichneld, the BOdleian, the British Museum, are noble monument to the skill and pride of our Anglo Saxon and Celtic fore bears.
 Meanwhile the great bulk of docu- mentS, WnOSe writers Cpu'd loI 'I ford the time and material necessary for such ornate writing, used script even for books. AS the Roman Elm pire split up into separate Germanlc kingdoms. each developed q special hand out of this script These were like our modern script in having the letters connected more or less. The French hand grew hard to read; and Charlemagnes great reform, under Alcuin consisted in returrecting the semi uncial with some notifications.

WHY BASEBALL PLAYERS NEVER HAVE POCKETS IN THEIR
 SHIRTS.

Tn the May American Magazine. Hugh ;. Fullerton writes an article full of interesting stories of freak rIays that have won great baseball games Following is one of the most remarkable stories
 Among the abnormal incidents that figured in the earlier history of the national game, perhaps none is as well known to old timers as the one which happened to Cliff Carroll. on the St. Louis grounds. when he was a member of the famous Browns. Perhaps you have wonder ed why baseball players have plain shirt fronts. and why so few players have breast pockets. Cliff Carroll is the reason. He was running forward to take a base hit on the first bound The ball bounced crooked and hit him on the. chest. He grabbed al the ball hastily and. as he clutched it. he showed it down into the handler chief pocket on his shirt front. This runner saw Carroll tugging and straining to tear the ball out of the pocket and instead of stopping at first. he sprinted on to second while Carroll still trying to dislodge the ball. ran to second. The batter passed the fielder and turned for third with Carroll in pursuit. At third Carroll stopped and tried in vain to release the ball. and the runner kept on across the plate and scored the win ming run. Chris von der Ahe. who at that time was at the head of the euphonic trio. Won der Ahe. Mucken fuss and DiddlebOck, which operated the club, was furious and ordered all pockets removed from baseball shirts. Other teams followed and the pockets never have been restored. ex- cept by a few players who are will ing to risk the repetition of the ac- cident"
